sorry to go off topic:


how much would it cost to buy a sega cd along with sonic cd? i would want to buy both boxed.

Most likely far more than what it'd be worth if you just want to play Sonic CD. You'd be betterr off getting the PC port, Sonic Gems Collection or the upcoming PSN/XBLA port (even though the PC/SGC ports arent 100% perfrct IIRC)

Just wondering, outside of Sonic CD is the sega cd really worth getting? If only a handful of games are worth it then I'll take your above suggestion

How many 2D acts/levels are there, per zone? More then one, I hope?

I really hope this and Rayman sells well enough; non-Nintendo platforms need more proper, meaty platformers!

1 per 'Zone' out of 2, so that's 9 2D levels and 9 3D levels.

Can anyone link me to the high rez version of the Sonic 1&2 album art by chance? Can't find it buried in that other thread. :(

Personally I wouldn't say the Sega CD is worth getting nowadays. I don't think there's a lot of great games available for it (but YMMV as I've never seen one, let alone owned one, myself), and the only games I'll remember it for is Sonic CD and a bunch of really crappy FMV games :p

Ah, thanks. Wouldn't mind more (not a fan of "missions" on levels) but it'll have to do - just not as a full-price purchase. It'll be a perfect game to play 'round christmas time.

There are plenty of great games for the Sega CD. There are tons of crappy FMV games, true, but there were plenty of other worthwhile titles available for it that justify owning the system for.

If you can get it cheap, the Sega CD is well worth owning, there's some really good games to get. It's not the best add on ever, but it's hardly the worst.

Music from both OST versions is in Generations.

Well the "3D" levels also have 2D segments in them, so theres that.

But if you've got a Wii, 3DS, and at least one HD system/PC, platforming heaven to be sure ( Mario 3D land, Kirby return to dreamland, Kirby Mass Attack, Sonic Generations HD, Rayman Origins, and maybe 3DS Generations if that turns out good).

Have you heard the US and JP Generations remixes for that area?

I've been on a reasonably low profile for this game other than it being a pretty good Sonic game so far.

And I just listened to them.

The US version is a bit overly techno for me with the background beat but by God this sounds good... Still listening... I hope the vocals kick in....
Okay so no vocals.
But this is just pure fanservice. *Both* OST variants in the game. Wow. What was that greenmangaming price again...

Im trying not to spoil myself too much, but i'll check the music tracks. Stage layouts though, I want to be surprised. Classic Speed Highway is awesome btw.

Oh and as far as the PC version goes...best case senario...the game will have a decent amount of expected PC graphics options and have an unlocked framerate. I just hope there arent any strange performance issues or graphic glitches.

Yeah that was pretty messed up. Reviewers need to learn not to boost 24/7 even when making small adjustments.

So I was listening to the White World songs on youtube. Can't believe they chose
Eggman Theme from SA2
for Egg Dragoon :O

Still freaking out to all of these songs getting leaked.

YMMV is true. I've always enjoyed it. If you like 16bit 90's games you will find some fun stuff that is mostly different from the versions on Genesis and SNES. and even the games which are mostly identical to the Genesis versions (like pitfallMayanAdventure and mickeyMania) usually have better CD music and more levels and/or voice samples. Fyi.

It comes down to him being unskilled. Watch the Modern Green Hill video on YouTube: he sucks. The game shouldn't suffer because he is lacking skill. Dark/Demon's Souls certainly didn't.

I read the text review today and noticed frame rate was a negative of the game for the PS3, and it still got an 8.5. Hopefully whoever is reviewing for Gamespot will do both versions and the 360 will edge into a 9.

Also, the title needs to be updated with the IGN score. People are definitely getting interested.

Unleashed had a ton of DLC missions added which were remixes of the areas and levels already in the game, I expect generations to follow suit.

Better then nothing I guess, new zone dlc would be awesome.

Off the top of my head you have Sonic CD (I don't like it all that much but I guess it has to be named), the only version of Snatcher in English, Shining Force CD, both Lunar games (The Silver Star and Eternal Blue), Soul Star, Road Avenger, Dark Wizard, Robo Aleste, Lords of Thunder, Eternal Champions, Popful Mail, Silpheed and some cool ports of other systems like Final Fight CD, Ecco The Dolphin, Mickey Mania or Flashback. I'm probably forgetting some and not all of these have likely aged of that gracefully for a first-timer but that should give you a decent idea about the system.

I had a dream where I got the game, but I could only play the 3D stages. Classic Sonic stages were nowhere to be found.

More like a NIGHTMARE.

It's a pretty terrible remix though, and it's Act 1. Act 2 is the good stuff.

The only games I still have and the games that are worth owning in my opinion are sonic ( of course), ecco the dolphin/tides of time, winds of thunder, final fight, and lunar 1 + 2.

My mega CD broke a while ago so I just emulate the games now.

I think Sonic 12 should be a sequel to Sonic 06, what does SonicGAF think?

Good list though some of those are hard to find (affordably). Also, there are Sega CD 2 games with great 16-bit scaling - Batman Returns (driving levels) , and Cliffhanger (snowboard levels). There are ways to play only these levels if you don't like the more traditional 2D platforming stuff. Both are really fun, and UNIQUE games that were pretty impressive in the day.

Also, speaking of Sonic, there is a hobbyist game called Sonic MegaMix which you can burn your own CD for free - its really sweet , kind of a mix of all the 2D early Sonics . If you get a Sega CD, you gotta try this one.

Keio Flying Squadron!

Lords of Thunder was a PCE port btw. I'd rank Sega CD pretty highly, especially as far as add-ons go.
