Official Statement Sonic The Hedgehog will be returning to the Nintendo GameCube in the U.S. this November in "Sonic Mega Collection." Hot on the heels of the blockbuster "Sonic Adventure 2 Battle," which marked Sonic's historic debut on a non-SEGA system, "Sonic Mega Collection" will feature *seven classic titles from the SEGA Genesis. General Information SEGA releasing titles for a Nintendo console won't cease to amaze me for a good long while, but 16-bit Sonic? That's crazy! Sure, Sonic Adventure 2 made its way to Nintendo's little powerhouse, but that was a newer title, that wasn't a soldier in the 16-bit wars like the classic Sonic titles were. Much like the lesser known Sonic Jam on the Sega Saturn, this is a collection of Sonic titles that run the gamut of his gaming career. While not set in stone, Sonic Mega Collection is described as having the 7 titles below: Sonic
The Hedgehog Oddly absent from the list is the Sega CD Sonic, known for its added features and memorable soundtrack, while Sonic 3D Blast found its way into fortune. Spinball is a nice addition as it was a novelty that many gamers seemed to skip on and 3D Blast was also an interesting choice as its release during the Saturn's reign mean very few people got to give it a shot. Overall, some nice choices, while the Sega CD version would have been nice, the chance of trying out 3D Blast and Spinball is a big plus any day. If a new Mario and
Zelda compilation would come out, it would make the GameCube the console for nostalgic
gamers. Even though neither of the later has been discussed, a Sonic collection
is a great start and one that I hope others follow on. "SEGA does what Nintendon't"
- classy. [ top ] |
