All of this should have been in the original release.

I’d rather have the GG games and skip what I’ve bought 46 times already.

That’s way too expensive for an extra character and a bunch of games that have aged terribly. They couldn’t have at least went with the Master System versions? The screen resolution in the Game Gear versions is dreadful, and part of the reason why the first boss in GG Sonic 2 is infamous for being brutally difficult and unfair (the view is so zoomed into Sonic, you can’t see projectiles bouncing towards you, and you have no rings, so any mistake means death).
Though even if they had went with the Master System versions, the technical issues, different physics, and inferior Sonic 3 soundtrack are enough to ensure I will never bother with these versions of the mainline classic Sonic games regardless of any extra features. Even widescreen isn’t enough to sacrifice some of the best music tracks in Sonic 3.
It seems to me that the best versions of these games are still the Taxman ports of 1, 2 & CD, and the A.I.R. mod for the Steam version of Sonic 3.

Anyone else waiting on a remake of Sonic Adventure DX from GameCube? That remains the best game I’ve ever played and I was hoping frontier brought back a little of that magic but it just wasn’t the same

Just give us the thing that we really want SEGA. The original music for Sonic 3. Ice-Cap Zone just aint the same man.

All right, but where are Knuckles Chaotix?

SEGA: Hey guys, we’re finally doing the bare minimum and giving you widescreen in the main four games!
Fans: Yay!
SEGA: And now here’s a bunch of poorly aged Game Gear games that have superior versions on consoles and don’t have widescreen, even though the lack of it made one of the bosses in one of the games borderline unplayable!
Fans: Y… Yay?

Classic Amy PLAYABLE!? Where do I preorder? 🤩
Stock-Bid-9509
eh, these remastered games always get my nostalgia pumpin’ and make me want them, but realistically, i never play them, they’re so old and dated by todays standards that I get bored within’ 15-20 minutes of gameplay and never play them again….but hey, they look cool on the shelf!

So weird how Sega insists on putting out the worst versions of some of its games; like, there’s really no reason for them to only ever release the Game Gear versions of Sonic 1 and 2 when the Master System versions are (to my knowledge) literally the same things but just without the screen crunch.
It’d be like if Nintendo only ever put out the GBC/GBA ports of things like SMB1 or Donkey Kong Country and pretended the originals didn’t exist.

I wonder how close we are to a Sonic R rerelease/remake… I really like Sonic R. I _still_ haven’t gone through the hoops to install the Win95 version into my Steam Deck (and there’s no way to play it on Switch). I really just want a brain dead, install and play solution.

There’s more Sonic collections than actual Sonic games.

I’ll give an upvote to anyone who beats them all.

I’ve always liked Amy’s original design from Sonic CD. Glad to see her playable in this new game

Remake Sonic Heros and Shadow the Hedgehog. Or, you know, the games I grew up with

I know it’s been over two decades, but as a Genesis kid from the 90’s I still find it very strange every time I see Sonic news in a Nintendo context.
Also this expansion looks awesome.

Amy was an interesting surprise.
The GameGear titles are a cool addition though.

Does the Steam version still have Denuvo?
Wish they had Master System versions instead of those screen crunched Game Gear ports.
Very happy to finally have Amy, I just wish it was her Sonic Advance moveset instead of making her super fast and basically another rolling character. Now if we could just get Sega to acknowledge classic chaotix again, and the Hooligans as non-illusions, the classic sonic world will be complete.

God damnit
Knowing me, I’ll still probably buy it
