Given these facts, it's coming to PSN on December 20th and XBL on December 21st. There, done. Best of all, if I'm wrong you won't be disappointed.

You should put an "I think" before "it's coming."

omg can you imagine a Knuckles Chaotix by Taxman? Widescreen, maybe a ring ropeless version, add Sonic and Tails, why the fuck not?

Because it's not a very good game and neither worth the effort?

[Friend of Sonic]

But I and others feel it is a good game, and your opinion isn't the end all of what product Sega should release.

Knuckles Chaotix is a very good game.

Knuckles Chaotix - combis = AWESOME.

Nice layouts and awesome music.

Re-releasing it as "Chaotix" + Sonic and Tails would be awesome.

Assuming that "Gamecube games on Wii-U Virtual Console" thing has any merit, I'd say it's inevitable that at the very least, Sonic Adventure 2: Battle would wind up on said service - though no doubt emulated. Though rather dated now, I still wouldn't mind a PC port of some kind, if only because of the gap between SADX and Heroes.

I'm still semi-surprised (but then again, not really) that Chaotix hasn't shown up... anywhere, actually. Not in Gems, and after that I thought the Virtual Console had a good chance, but so far no dice. Granted it'd be a bit awkward having the three button layout split by the Wiimote, but hey, Classic Controller.

On topic, I'll be getting SCD for the PC, though if I ever come into a tablet/iTouch, I'd likely get it again if only for the prospect of on-the-go play.

Could Sonic Adventure 2 even be considered modern now?

I liked it. Went and bought a 32x just to play that on the real hardware.

Even if Chaotix wasn't the best of games, given a remake some of the problems could be eliminated.

[Caniad Bach]

Thing is not only have so few people played Chaotix, but those who have are divided on it as well. Add to that the fact that it's essentially been removed from the main canon, the difficulties in properly emulating the 32x, and the fact that there's no "Sonic" in the title, so casual Sonic fans are even less likely to stumble upon it, and you have some very good reasons for not releasing it. Indeed Sonic doesn't even appear in the game, so you can't even sell the game to kids on the basis that it's a 'Sonic product'.

SA2 is a far more likely candidate for re-release, but it really hasn't aged well, and contains a lot of the issues with the Sonic franchise that SEGA have been trying to avoid for a while now. I think really, that with the release of SA1 on XBLA and PSN all that time ago, by this point they probably would have released it's sequel.

If they did re-release either, Chaotix doesn't have no where near the same fan base that SCD has to warrant a remaster in the same vein, and if the bluepoint port of SA1 is anything to base opinions on, any port of SA2 isn't going to be amazing. Nor would I expect it to be either.

TLDR: I wouldn't expect SA2, and especially Chaotix, and if they did arrive, there's a 90% chance that the ports won't be worth buying.

But I challenge SEGA to prove me wrong!

[MastaSys]

32x's Chaotix isn't worth of a remaster, too much resource waste on something that probably wouldn't sell that much.
But emulation wouldn't be bad, it's very hard to play that nowadays, legally speaking.

This coming from someone that liked 32x's Chaotix.

This Sonic CD is not being emulated, it's running in Taxman's engine.

Tails didn't appear in the original Sonic CD, either.


Also, this new version of Sonic CD even has a Sonic 2 mode that can be used from the beginning, so if Chaotix was done next, it could also have something like that.
