... coming soon to NDS

Quote
The engineers at Sega have discovered an all-new way to repackage the Sonic the Hedgehog titles that you know and may still love in the just-announced Sonic Classic Collection for Nintendo DS.

Sega will squeeze 16-bit platforming adventure classics Sonic The Hedgehog, Sonic The Hedgehog 2, Sonic The Hedgehog 3 and Sonic & Knuckles onto a DS card and ship it to retail March 2010. The Nintendo DS collection will also feature a handy save anywhere feature, the kind of save state options that emulators have offered for years. Or so I've heard from friends.

Also included will be "a wealth of extras including video and collectable pictures," according to the official Sega Europe blog.

So its about ass now huh? EVEN THE ASS HAS 'EXCEEDED'!

One mention of LEGENDS and everyone goes batshit.  :\

Yep, every time when someone mentions that game people get energized for an apparent reason whatsoever. It's like this everywhere else, trust me.

It got really messy to find my sprite and comic topic, so it's in my sig.

Yeah, I do. I'm okay at the stages themselves (Except for that last one). Its just keeping enough rings to get a lot of emeralds in Emerald Hill is pure hell thanks to those damn monkeys who somehow always hit me even when they aren't attacking. :\

Sonic games are really the only games I'm good at. I don't think I really ever get hit by enemies. Also, Sonic 2's Special Stages are extremely easy. Sonic and Knuckles' Special Stages were hell, though. Sonic 3 used the same kind, of course, but they're easy in comparison.

I'm better with the 3d games apparently, that, or I need to hold the attention span to practice at those games.

Something weird happened to my banner, please wait while I find a new one.

When I was a kid, I had a lot of free time--not that, that's changed. >U<

S1-K's Special Stages can all be memorized.

So in some regard, they'll all be easy. It's the timing that'll whack ya (like Sonic 2's and S&K's last emeralds).

Yeah, but try playing them on a black and white TV, like I had to when I was a kid. I trained myself to notice the subtle difference in tone between the red and blue spheres. :\

Never had a problem with S&K's emeralds. Getting perfects on those is a bit tricky, though. I found the timing for some of Sonic 2's more difficult. Stage 6 especially.

But yeah, this is like the 30th platform to carry Sonic 1. I'm sure the majority of people already own these games on another platform, or emulate on a portable. I would take the "save state" thing with a grain of salt. I imagine it acting more like what the Virtual Console does. Hell, I'm iffy of this collection in general. Memories of Sonic on the GBA are rearing their ugly head.

And if there's no S3K, it's worthless.

Actually, it looks like it's the first portable Sonic collection, period.

Well, without the GG titles involved (hopefully).

This sounds interesting. I may not be that enthusiastic about Sonic, but I just might look for it when it hits store shelves.

Well, as Sato said, S3&K or bust...

BTW, what's the deal with this screenshot?

Somebody dig out an old S&K pre-release?  Because as nice as it would be to chomp at the bit over a new gameplay feature such as a Sonic/Knuckles tag team, that definitely doesn't look like the DS screen resolution.

Well, for one shining moment before that fact sank in, it was exciting.

No Sonic CD? What inane excuse could they use THIS time?  8D ... -AC

Honestly, I'm sorry, but the allure of playing the same Sonic games I loved, only on the DS this time? It's not happening.

And frankly, after the travesty that was the Sonic 1 GBA port, I'm not even sure if I trust Sega that much with doing a port of this type.
