Well, it seems that the some of non-Sonic bonus games that are going to found in this new Sonic compliation are going to be all 3 of the Streets of Rage games, and also some caper game called Bonanza Brothers, and there are more secrets contained within.

This package is already worth the price of admission for Streets of Rage 2 and Sonic alone, and for once (US) Playstation fans are crying over not having something.

 

[Baron Aloha]

So freaking sold.

Sonic & SOR = the best series on Genesis IMO.

 

[_Angelus_]

I don't think these Sony fans much care. Most these games can be found on their PSPs you know,heh.

 

[Mejilan]

This will undoubtedly hit the other consoles eventually.

 

[Ironclad]

That's great. I haven't played SoR in ages. As if the collection wasn't worth it already with Sonic CD and Sonic R.

 

[Kintaro]

This shall be mine.

nah, the genesis emu isnt all that jazz

 

[BobbyRobby]

Awesome, what's the estimated release date?

 

[Shard]

Not to mentioned that the PSP hasn't even entered into Sega CD/Saturn emulation either.

 

[_Angelus_]

Wait-Sonic R? Ok,I take back my comment then. Sonic R,good game,but just for the music alone is worth it. The Gloria Estafon sound alike music never gets old,I love those tunes.

Eh,Sonic CD blows,don't expect that much from it really. I was disapointed for it when I waited for it years back.

 

[Shard]

August 2, 2005.

It is already hitting the Playstation 2 in Europe and Japan but no PS2 version for the United States for some reason, and I shed no tears over this.

 

[_Angelus_]

PSP emuls will get better,just takes some time as they tweak things. Try playing the SOR games on Sega's emulator that was hacked illegaly then distributed awhile back. Its pretty awesome. But yes its cool that the SOR games are included in this game package,how much is it going to cost?

 

[.hacked]

Sonic R alone is worth the price.

Everybody is Super Sonic Racing, get your feet up off the ground. When you're Super Sonic racing there is no time to look around!

Die.

And yes, Sonic R's music was awesome. I still love listening to Super Sonic Racing. Even have the lyrics memorized ;_;

Now you've done it,I'm going to have to dig up my mp3s.

Well hell if you like it then fine. I was just disapointed with the game,but whatever. It still makes the whole package pretty damn sexy none the less.

what, you mean with time things can improve? NO WAY!!!

i was just pointing out that the genesis emu currently isnt at the point where people are actively playing it often...

 

[Dan]

Meh. If I'm going to buy a game called Sonic Gems Collection don't throw in some other stuff that doesn't interest me. Give me Knuckles Chaotix instead.

 

[Ronin]

[M3wThr33]

Sonic Boom, Sonic Boom, Sonic Boom!

Since it's exclusive to the GameCube, they should also add Comix Zone.

 

[Fuzzy]

So freaking old.

Fixed.

Yeah its not perfect,I wish there were sound,or better sound anyways. I haven't played too many Genesis games on the PSP but of the few I did(Road Rash 3 and Zero Wing) the speed in both were pretty good.

The other thread mentioned one SOR game not all 3.

Look again.

i love sonic r but......why not nights god damnt.

yup, I'm expecting + versions for the PS2 & Xbox just like the first collection

 

[DDayton]

What would they -add- to the Plus versions? They had all the Game Gear games, already emulated, to add last time...

 

[Fuzzy]

Nights.

 

[_Angelus_]

Burning Rangers

 

[Rlan]

Can YOU feel the sunshine?

 

[CO_Andy]

Any chance of an improved SoR3? The game was heavily altered for the American release (for better & worse).

 

[jman2050]

yup, I'm expecting + versions for the PS2 & Xbox just like the first collection

Well, I don't know how + they can get, and seeing as the PS2 is already getting the original Gems-- oh wait, this is Link316. Everyone move along... don't you have some thread on GameFaqs to hijack?

 

[Baron Aloha]

Look again.

When I posted in that thread this news had not been mentioned. I posted in that thread 2 days ago. This news was just added to that thread today.

If you've got a problem with old news being posted then take it up with the original poster instead of quoting me. I can't possibly be expected to follow every single thread that I've participated in until the very end.

 

[Jonnyram]

Why? There's already a PS2 version coming out in Japan, it has no +, and it is not coming out in the US.

 

[Docpan]

HOLY SHIT

Bonanza Bros!

I LOVE that game!

 

[stonedwal]

What would they -add- to the Plus versions? They had all the Game Gear games, already emulated, to add last time...

Knuckles Chaotix, SegaSonic Arcade, Saturn version of Sonic 3D, maybe even the 3D section of Sonic Jam if they were really desperate. Then again, they could just save it all for a third collection.

I was already intending to get this set, but the inclusion of Streets of Rage 1-3 is enough for me to get it on launch day.

 

[Soul4ger]

Yuzo Koshiro am cheer!

 

[Buffy4ever]

I don't think Sega has a Saturn Emulation for Nights and Burning Rangers. If they did then Sonic R would the Saturn Verison. Also Panzer Dragoon in Panzer Dragon Orta was the pc version. Too bad Sega didn't port Nights to pc, then we would see Nights in one of these collections.

You know youre right,I forgot about that. There is one Saturn game that I think was ported to PC...Sega Rally. Now wouldn't this be one hell of an ass kicker if it wound up on this collection,damn.

 

[Shard]

Stgill, it would be nice if Nights showed up in this collection.

 

[M3wThr33]

I don't think it'll be time exclusive.
Last time Sonic Mega Collection never was. It never had the Only-For tag. This time it does.

 

[Link316]

RE4 has the "Only For" tag too, it doesn't mean anything

 

[Apenheul]

If it's emulators you want then buy a GP32.

Anyway, is there a 2 player cooperation mode in those SOR games?

 

[Polari]

Has anyone got a full list of the titles that have been confirmed so far?

Hopefully this sells well and Sega really jump on the classic compilation bandwagon. I wouldn't mind a Saturn disc, or a Dreamcast one next generation (for PS3 of course, where the larger storage medium really would be useful).

 

[jarrod]

Sonic & SOR = the best series on Genesis IMO.

No way, we still need Treasure Box...

-Gunstar Heroes
-Dynamite Headdy
-Alien Soldier
-Guardian Heroes
-Silhouette Mirage
-Radiant Silvergun

ALL Streets of Rages? S-O-L-D.

NiGHTS for PC was in development at one point, I'm sure they could finish it up and whip it over to GC/PS2.
