This makes my Sonic Classic 2 work seem pointless.... I must now go think about my life and my projects future ;_;

but on topic, this is fucking fantastic. I'd love to see you be able to play through all the games in sequence.

Well...not exclusive...we posted it at Sonic Paradise around half an hour ago! They were told at Sega Press announcement PDF. Buut...you sure do know more, don't you?

And speaking of which...

Shush you.

The fact they added a variant of the unused 'Press Start Button' text leaves me thinking they might have done their work with this. The widescreen looks lush, even if the lives counter seems a bit odd up there.

Wonder if these will get the console treatment like CD did.

Time Attack is a sweet addition. Fingers crossed for expanded 2-player versus in Sonic 2.

I love the "Japanese Mega Drive" style they've used in that "flyer".

Looking forward to seeing more of this...

Oh, forgot to mention this: this comes from a press event where SEGA announced some iOS/Android stuff. It could very well be that there are console/PC versions, but that they haven't been announced yet.

Not entirely sure why 60FPS is a selling point when the original game was already 60FPS.

I mean, good on you for not botching that aspect up and all, and the Genesis version did have its slowdowns here and there, but still

RIGHT, FIRST DETAILS. EXCLUSIVELY AT RETRO FIRST:

WIDESCREEN
REMASTERED SOUNDTRACK (!!!)
TIME ATTACK MODE
SMOOTH 60 FPS

Sonic as I've always imagined it.

Now, jokes aside, I'm pretty interested in this. Specially if it includes more updates , like Sonic CD did. We might be seeing Tails and Knuckles in Sonic 1? I hope at least Spindash is present. And I'm eager to listen to that remastered soundtrack! Will it be completely new mixes or maybe...Nakamura's demotracks?

[TimmiT]

I'd find it weird if Taxman didn't include the spindash.

[Tanks]

Willing to put money down that Nakamura's stuff won't be used because they generally aren't that good. (Though using a new mix of the extended Sonic theme from that album might be kinda cool for the title screen...)

[Rika Chou]

I hope they pull the old emulated "ports" and put these up together as a bundle on XBL and PSN. I don't want the best ports of these games to be mobile only.

Remastered Soundtrack

I think some of you guys need to back up the speculation train and remember what exactly "remastering" is :P

They even call the entire game a "remaster" in an earlier part of the flier, but the screenshots clearly indicate no change in visual appearance, at minimum. If the music were to be differently instrumented/sequenced it should instead use another word such as "remixed". Straight-up emulator recordings like they've used in the past aren't exactly high quality reproduction :P

I posted this on Stadium, I'll post it here.

Even though this is Sonic 1 and Sonic 2 all over again, I strongly urge everyone to support this release.

Just trust me on this one.

I highly doubt that they'd specifically point out a remastered soundtrack on the fact sheet if they just used emulator recordings.

Also, what Gene said.
