From Gamespot:

Sega of America has announced that the Sonic Mega Collection will be released in the US. The collection includes Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Sonic & Knuckles, Sonic 3D Blast, Sonic Spinball, and Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine.

The Sonic Mega Collection is currently scheduled for release in November on the GameCube.

Too bad Knuckles Chaotix isn't included. I guess most people hated it, but I thought it was fun.

sweeeeeeet, hope they're ugrading the graphics. i whole heartedly support packages like these.

now if only sega got around to releasing a phantasy star compilation like they did in japan........

 

[MikeAlletto]

I never really played any of the old sonic games except in kiosks in stores. I looked on the sega web site and there isn't any info on these yet...here's hoping they update the graphics too!

I never played the phantasy star games either, but would pick up a compilation of those also.

I hope they don't. Keep 'em like they were supposed to be. Isn't the HTF as a group in favour of the original artist's intent?

Dave,

I wanted Sonic CD more than anything so well both have to live with it (though all the sonics in one is quite the bargain anyways).

Speaking of old Genesis titles, I could use a version of Shining in the Darkness...

Same here, Romier. The three 'real' Sonic games were already collected for Sonic Jam, and a warmed over port of Puyo Puoy doesn't appeal to me (Puyo Puyo Box is great collection of the early PP games).

I was really hoping they'd include Sonic CD. Ho hum, time to finally get a Genesis setup again.

 

[Dave F]

I totally forgot about Sonic CD. That would've been great to have in the collection, especially since I never had the chance to play it. :frowning:

I think they're just doing straight ports.

 

[BrianB]

Effectively all they're doing is the Genesis/MegaDrive Sonic games - SonicCD is, obviously, a SegaCD game... Sounds like they've got a Genesis emulator up & running on the GameCube like they did the DC.

Interesting... Smash Pack #3 anyone?

 

[Romier S]

Smash Pack #3 anyone

I hope to god the sound emulation is better. The smash pack on the Dreamcast made me want to strangle Sega for screwing up the sound so bad on such classic games!

No Sonic CD! This game is the only reason that my Sega CD EVER gets played Truly THE BEST Sonic game IMHO.
Well, you can't always get what ya want
