great trailer

Just bought Mania plus so Origins getting something similar is great to see. But I was kinda pissed Sega didn't include Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles in Mega Drive collection, just so they could sell this. But 2D Sonic is my childhood so I'll end up buying this anyway.

 

[Mr Hyde]

Great trailer by the way. Happy to see it get a physical copy.

this is how they should have released it.

but because i'm a fucking idiot i will double dip and get the switch edition.
sonic on a cart is nostalgia for me

Amy & not Blaze…

But I’m glad they fixed it so more people can experience these amazing games.

Pfft, no Knuckles Chaotix, no buy.

Spoiler

/s, I've never really played that game much, always seemed kinda bad. Still actually surprised it's not part of the collection though.

Well I'm glad I passed on Sonic Origins.

I'm mad that they still won't let you play in HD widescreen without the special anniversary mode, but having the Game Gear games on a portable system again is too much for me.

It’s ok once you get used to it. The tethering is kind of weird. Would be nice if they released it, but I think Sega wants to forget the 32x ever existed. I still take out my genesis 32x setup to play once in a while.

There better be a fucking upgrade path for this

Either that or Saturn depending on if you're in Japan or America

A SEGA 32-bit collection would be smart.

Apparently the new content like Game Gear games and characters must be downloaded, it doesn't come on the cartridge. Widescreen is still tied to extra lives. Sonic 3 still has the wrong music.

I'll keep my money Sega. It's too easy for me to play all these games already to deal with this nonsense. Way too far away from a definitive version. MAYBE if the content actually came on the cart...LOL. I'm better off with my real game gear carts than this shit

 

[Spukc]

the switch game does not come complete with the GG games
you need a download code

 

[DeVeAn]

Screwed over fans who bought the deluxe version last year. Thanks SEGA.

PS5 too. Got it and says on the back:

So I ended up getting this game for my birthday after all, I'm glad the purchaser saw it on sale because I decided to blow through Sonic 2 to test it out. I ended up getting stuck on the final boss because Sonic kept passing through his jetpack instead of bouncing off after a hit before I could get in all 12. Is the collision detection broken? I'll regularly beat this game in an afternoon on the same Switch using the M2 version.

I figure I can just keep using the M2 version of Sonic 1 and 2, and pop in this cart to play the Game Gear titles...which are downloaded to the Switch lol.
