Yeah, it could make the platforming sections a lot less confusing.

If Horii's mentioned Landstalker, would that mean he thinks it's possible even after he (or maybe Okunari) ruled it out? Crazy if so. Virtua Fighter sounds great, but I think Power Drift would be an easier job for M2. Gonna read the SoR2 interview tomorrow.
Here's another interview with Game Watch: http://game.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/interview/20150722_712582.html
Okunari seems pretty keen on doing Virtua Racing, too.
Even so, the message about the future of the series is pretty consistent: "we don't know if it'll continue but every time we say it's over we end up coming back, so..."
Horii's just rattling off names, really. They were talking about how it's a nice coincidence that they're ending with 16 titles, and Horii responds by joking that they'll only continue if they can make it to 32.

Do it.
Website got updated with the "Special Info" for Sonic 2: http://archives.sega.jp/3d/sonic2/index.html
Looks like no Knuckles in Sonic 2? Genuinely surprised M2 didn't include that.

Oh my, with Power Drift, Virtua Racing and Virtua Fighter they'll have largely tapped out Yu Suzuki's classics!*
I know M2 pull off amazing feats but still have to wonder whether the Virtua games are technically possible...
*(Which will be fully complete with the NX Shenmue remake of course)

Definitely copping SOR2

Can't wait for SoR2 on Thursday. I've purchased every Sega 3D Classics game and have been so incredibly impressed with them. I desperately hope Sega allows M2 to continue this series into next year and even beyond 3DS onto NX.

I'm excited for SOR2 tomorrow, I always hype these titles on my facebook to my friends. I think a wishlist for me for future titles would have to be Alien Soldier, Outrunners, and it's a bit of an oddball choice but I would really love to have Aurail on my 3DS.
Hmmm, sound test is still there and they do mention the stage select code. I still can't help but wonder if I'll be able to activate debug mode considering you select tracks 1,9,9,2,1,1,2,4 after entering the stage select code.

Oh SOR2 will be mine for sure.

Yup, and Sega has been uploading stereoscopic 3D trailers on YouTube -- if you've got a New 3DS check them out via the browser. After watching the one for 3D Gunstar Heroes I bought the game immediately.

Yes, PLEASE!
Oh man, Vectorman could be really cool.
Ken Sugimori (Pokemon artist) tweeted out his 3DS home screen.
I recently got a New 3DS and picked up Outrun and Super Hang-On. The 3D effect is pretty great, but I have to turn it off for Outrun because it's feels like that scene from 2001.
Fantastic! I love him even more!
Fuck, need all of this to happen.

Vectorman would be really interesting. I wonder if it even has much of a following overseas since it never came out in Japan.
I replayed it recently, and I didn't think it was spectacular, but the graphics were good and the soundtrack is among the best on the system, no hyperbole.

Sonic 2 is probably my most anticipated game this fall, lol
really, really hoping they hit Sonic 3 & Knuckles eventually. these are the definitive versions of these games, IMO

Yeah, it got buried by me posting about the JP Sonic 2 interview, but here's the first part of the interview for 3D Streets of Rage 2:

Taxman on blast?

Not really. I love what he did to Sonic CD and Sonic 1 & 2, but none of his remakes are available on platforms with physical buttons.

Grabbed 3D Sonic 2. Stage select is available right from the main menu. So far M2 have absolutely outdone themselves with the 3D effect, Emerald Hill is fucking amazing. Every single layer in the background is at a slightly different depth, and those little twisty path things look incredible. It's like they really do curve around now.
(These bits)
Special stage really hurt my eyes though. They run at the same low frame rate; all the layers of 3D chugging and jerking around mess with my head I think.
Also the bonus M2 credits
I'll try and see if I can get the debug code working later.

show off all the enemies, and feature Tails just mindlessly walking into most of them while Sonic gets more annoyed https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CKhmkVYUcAAMbn1.jpg:large

Holy crap
I would love Story of Thor. Absolutely incredible game
CD is
I would buy the fuck out of Landstalker and Beyond Oasis. Keep them coming, M2!
Awww shit, he has Kokuga.

Hmm, maybe we could get Puyo Puyo 2 w/online play? That would add some challenge for M2 and longevity for Western players, going by Horii's joke that it would be an easier kind of game to port.
If M2 based it off of Taxman's release, that'd be heavenly.
Still kinda bummed that it looks like "Knuckles Mode" is probably not going to be a thing here.

I anxiously await 3D Sonic Spinball.

OMG bring Virtua Racing, Landstalker, Panzer Dragoon, Daytona... Bring them all
Yeah, I think the "spheres" could have interesting depth to him, and I believe I read an article many moons about about how his animations in the first game were actually vector/motion driven and not traditional sprites. Or something along those lines.
Taxman's versions are available on the Amazon Fire TV. The Fire TV (non-stick) also supports USB controllers. I picked up a RetroUSB Genesis/USB adapter and hooked up my "Remote Arcade" to it. It works like a dream.
Widescreen, sharp picture, wireless controllers, extra content. Perfection.
I bought the Fire TV just for this purpose.

Is there any save states in these 3D classics game? Never knew about these game until now.

The bonus modes in Sonic 2 are pretty dull.
Easy mode which starts you off with ten rings, and getting hit only makes you lose half of them every time.
Once you complete the game (don't need to get all the emeralds) you unlock an option to play as Super Sonic right away.

Honestly I wish Sega and M2 would approach Nintendo about collaborating on furthering the 3D Classics line. It's beyond stupid that Nintendo cut and ran from 3D conversions after a slow dripfeed of basic-ass early NES stuff (Kirby notwithstanding) while Sega's pumping out way more advanced Genesis and arcade obscurae on the regular.
If Nintendo would have announced, say, a 3D Classics version of Super Metroid alongside Federation Force, people would have been too busy having religious experiences to slag off FF. Hell, one of the first things Nintendo demoed the 3DS with was a Yoshi's Island conversion. Those caliber of releases would sell absolute gangbusters.

Same, I wish Nintendo would hire M2 for better 3D Classics. Starfox SNES...
Oh mannn, Starfox in 3D with a proper framerate... yesyesyes.gif
Plus with the way M2's been going above and beyond with these things, they'd probably find a way to give Star Fox 2 it's first proper release to boot.
Ugh, give these guys the keys to your kingdom already, Nintendo.

To be fair, they already have a little bit of a relationship with Nintendo given they made the GBA emulator for Wii U for them. I'm quietly hopeful that we could see some Nintendo stuff from them, but not until they're done with Sega stuff. And how much of that is left? (LOADS)
