New Sonic Gems games announced - strange choice

[Sabator]

But then people would realise Championship was a ripoff!

[Jolly Joes]

Didn't they already released Virtua Fighter 2 as a Sega Ages line or am I thinking about Virtua Fighter?

...not that it will keep Sega from putting that in a collecting seeing that Bonanza Bros. are also found in SGC.

[GagaMan]

Yeah, they did do Virtua Fighyter 2 in the Sega Ages line (In Japan, at least).

As for Sonic Fighters being a "Rip-off", thats a bit harsh. It was developed by he same team as Virtua Fighter, and was orignally intended as a joke between programmers, who made sonic and Tails models beating the crap out of each othe using the VF engine. Fighting Viper used the engine too, and Dead or Alive 1 was based on it too. The only thing they really all had in common is the 3-button system.

I think Hermit be a little confused.

Damnit, swear I read that somewhere. Ah well, there goes pretty much any need to buy this. Played StF when it was emulated, and it was nothing special.

I can say the same thing about Arcade and Chaotix. ;P

[Merry Smindmas]

I dunno, I think SSA is a mighty fine game. The emulated prototype is pants, but the full thing was class.

[Andrusi]

Uh, what's a Bonanza Bros.?

[Sz]

H: I agree in regards to Chaotix, but I thought SSA was great fun.

[Admin]

I was moreso referring to the emulation part, and less so about them being not too special. ;P

[SonKnuck]

I'm still getting this no matter what, even if only for Sonic CD and STF

[Merry Smindmas]

I'm just getting for StF. 10 years I've waited for a home version

[Admin]

Signed.

[突貫 (Tokkan)]

I'm getting this for SCD and StF. I never played either as I never had a MegaCD or went the Sega World that was in the UK.

[Merry Smindmas]

Ah Sega World, joyous memories.

[Matsrik]

I've played Sonic Championship in arcades. It's actually good zany fun.

Plus it has Fang.

[Gunstar]

I really wanna play Bare Knuckles 3 again with my friends. I think it fetches a really high price if you try and buy it on genesis. It's great to have an un-screwed over version, unlike the TMNT arcade game included with battle nexus.

[Hol Tiger]

Damn it it's Sonic Mega Collection
not Sonic and Ristar

THEY CAN'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE TWICE!!!!
DAMN YOU SEGA DAMN YOU!!!!! *angst*


But I still want to play Sonic CD and Sonic The Fighters

[Jolly Joes]

Ristar is related to Sonic.

[Darf]

Of course, it's far easier to just bundle in games that have been in at least two other 'retro' compilations than actually releasing the things the 'nostalgics' actually want to see.

[Kulock]

And on a side note, welcome back, Darth. (Didn't recognize you until I saw the website URL.)

[Optimus Prime]

*Mope* I -like- Sonic R. My PC doesn't. Argle. But this thing better have the PC build of Sonic R. The Saturn one had... issues. Mainly lack of polys. Tails the snub-nosed fox. And Knuckles with a drab on his head. The only one who looked decent was Sonic... but the PC one looked far nicer. Maybe they'll just port the Saturn's loading screen! It was the best part of that version! Shiny!

I hate unlockable games. I bought the damn thing, so just let me play them! I HAVE NO PATIENCE AND I FEEL OLD! I want to play Bare Unckles before I go senile =(.
