Oh right, that seems to be it! Also, some tracks have their order changed in the sound test, for some reason.


Having played all but three of the 3D classics now, I'm a bit disappointed to see the Mega Drive games feel less polished than the much more complicated arcade games. I've seen some slowdown with frameskipping in Shinobi III, some places where you wonder why they didn't bother adding a 3D layer in Streets of Rage and OH GOD the sound emulation makes some instruments in Ecco sound awful (perhaps the emulation itself is good, but outputs at a lower rate than it should?).

It's a shame that they're not the definitive versions of these MD games, but they're still the best rereleases they've had, so they're worth getting if you liked the originals... Maybe the next DS/Game Boy/whatever will be able to handle good sound and no slowdowns. =|


The arcade gams are just awesome.

Good on Sega for continuing to commission these. I'll continue to support these.

I am kind of curious what they will do for Sonic 2. Taxman and Stealth kind of raised the bar incredibly high there. 3D should be nice, though.

Here's hoping for Dynamite Headdy (more specifically the japanese version) in the future

These releases allow you to play either the international versions or the japanese versions. Its sort of a standard thing M2 does and its great, so if they get Dynamite Headdy or even Streets of Rage 3 we'll be able to play the original versions.

Can't wait untill 3D Sonic 2 is released in September. 3D Sonic 1 for the 3DS is a very good port with interesting features. So, I hope 3D Sonic 2 has the same (and maybe even more) features and options.

[MainMemory]

I wonder if they'll have an option to choose between Sonic 2 and Knuckles in Sonic 2. Having Knuckles fully integrated into Sonic 2 would be even better, but unlikely I think, since they seem to be more or less using the original ROMs.

[muteKi]

I could see them adding Knuckles in as an option directly into the menu. It might be nice to see Tails's flight ability show up, too, given that Sonic 2's layout tends to be a little better suited for it.
The one other thing I'd want to see is putting the 2-player mode in default resolution, since each player would have their own screen in order to play the game -- and it would make it a little easier to open up the 2-player mode to include more levels. I would assume most of the game is done by this point, but out of what I've mentioned, more 2-P mode levels is what I'd like to see as this game's "Grantanoff".

Here's a sneek peek at SoR2 that Ken Sugimori posted on Twitter: https://twitter.com/...858926913351683

The option below says "Standard" and... "Quartet"! 0_o

Also here's an interview in Japanese: http://game.watch.im...428_699933.html

I may be wrong but if I remember right the Quartet Mode has you cycle between each character when you lose a life.

M2 also added an exclusive crazy ending video to the game! That's one step further from what they use to do!

[LordOfSquad]

They do those for the arcade releases but not the Genesis ones. Up until now, anyway.

Wonder what other treats we could be in for. I can't even imagine what they would add to Gunstar Heroes.

Man, I feel like we should expect Hidden Palace in 3D Sonic 2 now.
