Just saw this the other day. I'm getting this for DC, but I wish it kept the 16-bit graphics. I think that style makes the game much more charming, and the newer 'HD' graphics look awkward for that style of game.

I'll probably end up picking up the Genesis copy along with the DC copy just for this reason. Just hate spending that much money on the same game... twice.

Has anybody actually played the original? If so, how was it? I've only seen some videos and never actually tried it out.

actually i believe the original graphics are unlockable in the HD version, you just have to find a hidden item, a genesis controller

The original SEGA Mega Drive/Genesis graphics of Pier Solar HD will be playable on every single platform, XBOX360, PC, Mac, Linux, and Sega Dreamcast.

It will be unlock-able by finding a special in game item, a "Pier Solar Mega Drive Cartridge" that is hidden somewhere in the very beginning of the game...

Once you find this, it will unlock the entire version of Pier Solar for the SEGA Mega Drive & SEGA Genesis!
Thanks for that!
Somehow I overlooked it... :?
