Sonic Classic Collection

They don't get right the emulation for the base console, so I'd say that we better forget about the 32x that requires perfect timing to run (the start up BIOS is annoyingly strict in that sense).

 

Yeah, the underground will always be many steps ahead in emulation when compared to the real company. It's kind of funny how that actually works out. I remember when Donkey Kong Country on Nintendo's Virtual Console needed an update because there were emulation issues that needed to be fixed.

 

Hey, sorry if I pissed you off or whatever, if you check the end of my post I admitted that I was mostly just venting frustration over stuff, and that part of me sees the merit to releasing rarer games. I do think fans should have the opportunity to play rarer games. Just sometimes when I feel I've put in effort to obtain games beforehand, it cna be a bit irritating when they are made available so easily. But I wasn't trying to step on anyone's toes and I'll buy the ocmpilation if it comes out anyways to be honest.

I admit to using emulators to try out rare games etc, but you are right, it is a hobby of mine as a fan/collector to try and track games down in their original forms.

FYI, I was a kid too (I'm 21 now), and I didn't get a lot of the gamesu until long after release, for a long time I was a console generation behind.


Ohh and who-ever mentioned trackballs (needed for SegaSonic Arcade), yes they would bump up the price (well depending on quality). I got a bargain on my three HAPP trackballs for my PCB (£75 for the three and like £15 shipping, they are often around £50 each on eBay).

 

Bump.

Really? I sure hope that's for a portable, because dear God is this barebones.

 

Holy shit. I'm trying to figure out what to say here. Chimpo already said pretty much everything, but I am just blown away by your greediness, especially considering the fact that you are 21 years old. So what if you tracked down every physical copy of these rare games and paid top dollar? You did that because YOU wanted to, not because it was the only way to play them. You still sound like you're a kid.

Everyone who knows how to use emulation and wanted to play these games have done so already. If collecting these original physical copies means that much to you, then you wouldn't give two shits if they released a newer physical copies in the form of a compilation. Is that not the whole point of wanting the original? Get over yourself, seriously.

Stop caring so much about wanting other people to suffer and never play these games in physical form just because you chose to shell out the cash to purchase the original.

 

That list of games can't be it.

 

Sonic Mega Collection had more going on. Either we're not getting the whole story or it's some limited edition hoo haa reserved for the hardcore money wasters. I'm certainly not tearing into my savings unless I hear word of Chaotix and the like.

 

Oh boy, I love paying $99 for this bullshit.

 

That cannot be the entire list. No fucking way am I forking over 99$ bucks for just that.

 

Wow. $99 for shit they've already released plus a bunch of videos no one cares about? Awesome. There are more games between Sonic Mega Collection and Gems than that, and those were $100 together when they first came out.

 

The factor that SCD has been left out of the "classic originals" list again, and the lack of Chaotix makes me a sad Azukara. ;_;

This better not be all there is. Although, with the ad for Sonic Chronicles, it leads me to really think that this is a DS collection of some sort.

 

ffffffff, wtf.

I wont be getting this anytime soon that's for sure

 

99 fucking dollars? I sure hope that's a typo on Sega's part

Even if they include stuff like Chaotix, Sonic CD, SegaSonic, etc. I want to know how you end up with a price of $99 for stuff like this. Unless they're packing a Sega Genesis and Sega CD with the game then I don't see how the price can be ramped up that high.

Also what the fuck, SC:TDB video? Sure the game was pretty good (IMO), but... that seems kinda random to throw in amongst a collection of classic stuff.

If this collection has all the games from 1991 to 2001, then I'd consider buying it. Only consider, because I know I have a copy of Mega Collection lying around here somewhere :v:

 

^^^^^

Y'all have brains, right? USE THEM. This will not be $100.

 

If it had:

Sonic 1
Sonic CD
Sonic 2
Sonic 2 & Knuckles
Sonic 3 & Knuckles
Knuckles Chaotix
SegaSonic Arcade
Sonic the Fighters
Sonic R
Sonic Levels from Adventure
Sonic (and maybe Shadow) levels from Adventure 2
Sonic Advance Trilogy
Daytime Levels of Unleashed

(all with perfect emulation)


I MIGHT spend $100 on it. MAYBE.

And seeing as Sega would never grant MY wishes, I probably won't be buying it.

 

You don't want a portable collection on the DS. The DS' resolution is too damn small and it'll just look god damn ugly.

 

Even for a potential DS compilation, this still sounds pretty shit. I'll pass, thanks.

Also, isn't the DS screen resolution too small to properly emulate Mega Drive games? I'm aware that homebrew emulators exist for the system, but as I recall they're not too... well, good.
