Plus ther rest of the Game Gear games if it's to consoles.

I hope they add shitloads of new material though. SMC Was severly lacking in comparison to Sonic Jam on the Saturn.
 
Guys, I just want to point out this:

I haven’t heard anything about a new Nights game, which is sad; Nights was a brilliant game. I have heard talk of a new Virtual Fighter though. Just talk though.

Vectorman isn’t coming out for the PS2. Sega was going to bring it to the current consoles, but the plan was scrapped. And no I don’t work for Pseudo Interactive. Or Silicon Knights. Funny you bring them up though. They will have one of the best games at E3. Outside of Zelda, Nintendo’s FPS (developed by Rare), and PD0, it will be the one of the best showings of E3.

I don’t have details on what game Squaresoft is working on. I know that it will be at E3 along with Final Fantasy 3 and FF:CC for the DS.

I’m not going to give out the secret. It’s going to be very fun; wait until E3. Nintendo is going to roll out a trojan horse: something that looks innocent and weak and them bam, it will be unveiled. Just don’t make up your mind on the first day of E3.

There is not a Sonic game in development for the Revolution. It is an exclusive Gamecube game. This one is totally seperate from Shadow the Hedgehog, which will be multi console (and should hit the PSP as well).

That’s all for today. I will be back. Hopefully Brooke will update his site by then. I want to hear more of what he allegedly knows.


To those who doubted, what do you say now?

This guy is full of shit and is wrong on multiple accounts.

Did the US Sonic DX include all that stuff? Damn, I didn't think I'd ever have a reason to buy another copy of Sonic Adventure.

I wouldn't own it otherwise. Still, you have to unlock them, which is one of the most arduous tasks on the Gamecube (and there's no Action Replay code to unlock 'em all, either). You have to get all ranks in Adventure mode, all missions in the new mission mode (some of this are horrible), five emblems from Chao races (still haven't done any of this), and a number of emblems hidden around Adventure mode. You get a new game every twenty emblems (every ten once you break 100) and every twenty missions. Lucky I have Tails' Adventure on GG still, or else I'd probably force myself to unlock it.

The GC GG emulator seems much better than the PS2 one to me. It looks fairly crisp and has no noticeable slowdown due to the emulator. From what I played of Mega Collection + on PS2, it looked worse and had a few performance issues.

...SegaSonic Arcade?

God help us all.

*Horrible flashbacks of the lyrical music.*

NiGHTS would be clutch.

If you mean "they call me sonic," or whatever, the mp3s circulating around the net are apparently mislabeled - that's actually from some Sonic dance CD from the UK. I used to have a good friend who owned the Sonic Arcade PCB, trakballs and all, and he insisted that the lyrical music was nowhere to be found in the actual game.

According to the new issue of Play, the one with Death Jr. on the cover. It's in their tidbits section.

It will have:

- Sonic CD
- Sonic the Fighters
- and more


MegaCD (not SegaCD) and Model2 goodness? if so, count me in !!

^___^

Given that this is a Sonic collection, I somehow doubt it

Flicky, Ristar and The Ooze aren't Sonic games either but they were included with the last collection. Anything's possible.
 
byproduct said:
Wasn't Sonic Fighters a Model 2 game? Maybe the "more" might include some other model 2 games?

yes.

and yes, I hope that means MORE Model 2 games in the future.

DESERT TANK, DAYTONA, VIRTUAL ON, HOUSE OF THE DEAD1, WAVE RUNNER, SEGA RALLY1, TOP SKATER, etc.

Just guessing, but weren't those all Sonic Team games?

Daytona is extremely unlikely due to licensing horsecrap. :(

they should call it SEGA STOCK RACING. I swear they could do that, and as long as everything is 100% identical, carbon copy of arcade, I will be completely happy.
 
I might have to buy a Cube just for this, if it never hits XBox. Especially if they use the original Japanese score in Sonic CD (and mind you, I LIKE the US one).
 
Sonic Mega Collection 2 Coming to GameCube --- posted by JeffEaston at 2:15 PM CDT on Tuesday the 3rd
Play, a European gaming publication, has apparently revealed that Sonic Mega Collection 2 is in development for the GameCube. Sonic the Fighters and Sonic CD will be among the new batch of Sonic titles on the compilation. Sonic the Fighters was an arcade-only fighting game featuring characters from the Sonic universe. Sonic CD is widely recognized by many fans as the best Sonic game ever. Released on the Sega CD years ago, fans have been praying for a rerelease on Sonic Jam, Sonic Mega Collection, and Sonic Mega Collection Plus but to no avail.

There are no screenshots or any other information for that matter available yet, but when it is DSR will bring it to you.

All the included games shared some staff with Sonic Team, Ristar actually being almost entirely ST. The animals from Flicky appear in the various Sonic games as well (they're the trapped inside Eggman's various machines). STI (SOA's old R&D group) who developed Sonics 2, 3, Knuckles & Spinball in collaberation with Sonic Team also developed Comix Zone and the Ooze.

Actually, I was hoping more staff related games would've shown up on the "Plus" ports. Stuff like Gal's Garden, Phantasy Star 1-2, Ghouls N' Ghosts, Castle of Illusion, Garfield, etc.

What's the Garfield connection exactly?

Also, for the record, Sonic the Fighters is hella fun.
 
that would seem like a lot of resources to emulate a Sega CD game, Model 2 game, as well as a Saturn game.

If they got a workable Saturn emu though, then they could stuff Sonic R, Sonic 3D Blast and Burning Rangers on there also. Ideally I'd like to see...

-Sega Sonic The Hedgehog (System 32)
-Sonic CD (Sega CD)
-Knuckles Chaotix (Genesis 32X)
-Sonic Championship (Model 2B CRX)
-NiGHTS... into dreams (Saturn)
-Sonic 3D Blast (PC/Saturn)
-Christmas NiGHTS (Saturn)
-Sonic R (PC/Saturn)
-Burning Rangers (Saturn)
-Chu-Chu Rocket! (Dreamcast)

...that'd make an amazing, doable collection imo. Chu2 might just have to be recoded rather than emulated though.
 
I say they include Knuckles Chaotix and Sonic R for Sonic titles, and slap NiGHTS in there as a hidden game. That'd be sweeeeeeeet.

Man, that collection would bring most older gamers to their knees. I don't think Burning Rangers would make the cut, but Chu-Chu Rocket stands a good chance. Maybe Yuji Naka just wants to preserve these titles so they can be played for a longer period, esp. with Revolution having B/C. Oh, and don't underestimate Sega re: emulation. They have worked on some pretty surprising internal only emulators in the past, so it wouldn't surprise me to see Saturn or DC stuff on the GC.
 
Chu Chu Rocket already saw a GBA release. I kinda doubt it'd appear in this.

Although I hope they use the PC version of Sonic R. What with its 4 player madness.
 
Make Sonic CD's real soundtrack selectable, throw in Knuckles Chaotix, and it's locked, loaded, HEAD SHOT baby.

BuH?

*looks at his copy of the game sitting 2 feet in front of him*

Well, whaddayaknow. It IS 4-Players.
 
I played Sonic the Fighters in an arcade once so I can vouch for its suckiness. Also Bark & Bean were nigh unplayable in Fighters Megamix. Game has good music going for it anyway.
 
SantaCruZer

didn't Sonic Collection 1 went to all 3 consoles? This doesn't make sense. (oh right this is sega)

Sonic Mega Collection US sales numbers:

GCN - 833,174
PS2 - 266,720
XBOX - 153,087

To be honest all Sonic games seem to sell best on GC. Its not suprising that they'll give the GC version of this game priority again.

Sweet sassy molassy, I'd do damn near anything for that collection.
 
Woah, look at that, something I actually posted is making the rounds to other websites. Way to go, GAF!! It just proves that almost every site gets their news from these boards. :lol

Wouldn't it be amazing if they included Sonic Extreme prototype that they were making for the Saturn?

But the hot button question is: Will SCD have the Japanese soundtrack or the Spencer Nielsen mood music?

Hopefully the Spencer Nielsen soundtrack... I think I'm the only one in the world who preferred that one :P

the music would take a hit.

"SEGA STOOOOCK RACIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!"

just doesn't have the same ring to it.

just listing numbers like that gives semi false information for a decent comparison. The Gamecube Sonic Mega Collection has been out for 2 to 3 years. So the Gamecube version has had time to accummlate those sales. The Ps2 version has only been out since December, and those are good numbers for a budget release title that was released in December of 2004. If Sonic Mega collection had been on the PS2 for 2 to 3 year, bet it's sales would be just as high as the Gamecube version. I Think If thier is a Sonic Mega collection 2, that at best the Gaemcube will get a timed exclusive, but I see a Sonic Mega Collection2 going to PS2 later. Hell, knowing Sega they will release a limted number of copies to X-box.
