So I'm not too knowledgable on Sonic 3's legal issues but I am aware that they exist, but I'll have to ask this question anyway:

So with M2 releasing 3D conversions of Sonic 1 and Sonic 2 for 3DS, what are the chances of them doing Sonic 3 & Knuckles? I'm assuming zero; or at least the impression I got from Stealth's latest update on the status of the Sonic 3 mobile remaster was that SEGA is pretending that the game does not exist, regardless of whether it will be a remake (like the mobile remaster) or an emulation/port-thing (like the M2 3D Classics releases). Could someone more knowledgable on Sonic 3's legal issues tell their opinion on the possibility of M2 converting Sonic 3 & Knuckles for 3DS?

Have you considered releasing a movement-only/physics-only version of this?

Why do we need to provide our home address to sign the petition? Isn't there a better way to prevent people from signing more than once?

I hate how SEGA took the poor reception of Episode II as "people don't like 2D Sonic" instead of "people don't like poorly-made games". God, just reading about the entire history of Sonic 4 just makes me sad.

Although with that logic, SEGA of Japan should now be thinking "people don't like Sonic at all", so wonder what that will culminate in.

So is this the "big" Sonic game that the Generations team has been working on since? Or has that been cancelled?
