It comes out tomorrow.

Kinda stupid that they didn't take the extra five seconds to add Sonic 3 & Knuckles to the collection (maybe they'll patch it in if enough people complain) but it's worth it for the other games.

Awesome collection for dirt cheap ($30). Support Phil and Ethan and pick up a copy. Or two!

A nice bonus is that you can get 1000 points fairly easily.

$30? For some reason I thought this was going to be $50-$60. I may get this down the road but I wish they had included the Wonderboy games. This collection seems empty without it.

Wait? So this isn't Sonic's ultimate collection?

"patch" in an entirely new game? It's $30. I'm sorry that is too much for you all. I suppose the allure of VC is much better.

I'll probably buy this, looks like the emulation was done right. No Sonic 3 & Knuckles is annoying, but I can live.

It's not really an entirely new game, though, technically speaking. All Sega has to do is take five seconds and combine the Sonic 3 ROM and the S&K ROM. It's really that easy.

I mean it looks OK but controls are from 1988 and is too slow and clunky really compared to awesome Treasure games of that era. Dynamite Headdy shits all over it, esp. in regards to art direction

I don't know all the games, but some of those arcade unlocks look kind of easy. If I remember right the Megadrive conversion of Alien Storm was stupidly easy.

I really enjoyed Ristar back in the day, and I thought it was still pretty good the last time I played it [on my PSP]. It's definitely one of the best platform games on the system. The reason you hear so many people talking about it on GAF is because the game was criminally underrated and ignored when it came out. The game got great reviews but totally bombed in sales so Sega decided to kill the IP. It was a really sad result for such a promising new IP.

Just my $0.02.

I was going to pick this up today, but with the Canadian dollar no longer at par, stores have jacked all game prices up by $10.

Probably try and scoop it after the weekend.

Flicky is a good game.

I can remember it getting absolutely horrific scores when it was reviewed back in the day, but it's pretty decent fun.

I remember UK mag Mean Machines gave it an awesome score even though the graphics and sound were naff.

92% actually: http://www.meanmachinesmag.co.uk/pdf/flickymd.pdf?PHPSESSID=7bdb0934954322e0d0fc86ee381fc458

Eff Yea! Hell, SOR 2&3 still have deeper movesets then lots of beat-em-ups that come out today. And far, far better music then almost anything else out there.

that wouldn't be the only reason I'll be picking this up, but it sure doesn't hurt.

Im not sure how 'promising' the IP was. I mean the game came out around the end of the MD's/Genesis' life ('94-'95) so a sequel wouldve been on Saturn and been a shithouse 3d platformer. And there is the fact that the main character is just a faggy ass star with a face.

Yeah, not so promising imo
