The only game worth your time would be Sonic CD, and that should have been on the first one anyway....(and I already have it, so BLEH)

That's what I was wondering.  Not counting the Game Gear games (which PS2 and Xbox got with Mega Collection Plus) are there any Sonic games left?
Why must all things be so bright? Why can things not appear only in hues of brown! I am so serious about this! Dull colors are the future! The next generation! I will never accept a world with such bright colors! It is far too childish! I will rage against your cheery palette with my last breath!

Lesse... there's Sonic CD of course, then the Fighters one... There's also Knuckles Chaotix, if you'd count that as a Sonic title... then there's the Saturn version of Sonic 3-D Blast. Oh and even though we try, we can't forget Sonic R.
Other than that, no. Unless Sonic Team really wants to treat us and stick NiGHTS in there as a bonus...  but somehow I doubt they'd ever be able to emulate a Saturn and it's seven processors on any system.

Well if this is Cube exclusive they could put the extra stuff from Mega Collection Plus on it since we didn't get those.  Sonic CD should have been on the first one but I still wouldn't mind paying a few bucks (ie: less than $20) for a used copy for it alone.  If they're cool (and Sega these days rarely are) they'll put the incredibly obscure Sonic arcade game on it.  Although I have no idea what it's like since virtually no one has played it its inclusion would really help justify a second collection.

They could also include Sonic cameos.  There's a race against Sonic in Bug! for example and there's a Sonic hood decal in Rad Mobile.

No there are or two sonic games that were 90-100% finished but never released
there are some die hard sega sites with pics and stories behind them
I remember one from sega32x/CD that wasnt released cause they felt it was useless releasing it that late in the life, since the system was dead.

anyway Iv always wanted to play sonic cd
plus maybe Nights will be a unlockable????? I wish

It's really quite sad when the best Sonic games that have come out these past two generations have been emulated versions of Genesis games... -_-

And I dunno, since they seem to want to put random stuff in Sonic Mega Collection, I'd say throw in NiGHTS or Burning Rangers, both Sonic Team games.

I only hope it's true!  Sonic CD at last!  

And I've always wanted to play Sonic The Fighter.  

And Nights...well, that would just be too perfect, now wouldn't it?

In addition to Chaotix and Sonic CD, I'd like to see this game here:

I remember playing a bit of it looooong ago, and from the little I played, it was really cool.

I know a few years ago a friend of mine showed me "Sonic Crackers," which was essentially a 2D scroller with Sonic and Tails.  The only difference was that they were connected by some sort of bizarre elastic rope/bond thing, which I supposed was going to be used for puzzle solving/dynamic gameplay, etc.  I don't know how much of the game was finished.  Quick google: http://sost.emulationzone.org/sonic_crackers/   Looks like they shuffled a lot of the game's mechanics into Chaotix.

That site also lists a bunch of games I've never heard of before.  They appear to have been Japan-only releases.  So I guess they could theoretically include those.

As for the compilation, I'll gladly pick it up if it has Sonic CD.  


I must find a way to use "burninate" more in my daily speech.

AFAIK, the Master System Sonic games weren't included in Mega Collection. The 'original' Sonic the Hedgehog was better on the MS because the levels seemed to suit the mechanics better. Sonic the Hedgehog 2 was a completely different game for each system. It was one of my first games ever, so I'm very biased, but IMHO it is much better than the Mega Drive/Genesis game of the same name. These games should really be included.

EDIT: Opps, looks like the Master System version of the first Sonic game actually there as a 'Sega Game Gear" title.

I'm going to have to claim ignorance here--what makes Sonic CD so great?  I've never played it, and don't really know a whole lot about it.

Sonic CD isn't the best Sonic game (in my opinion). Personally its my third favorite Sonic game. The time travel thing was kind of cool though and it did have the best music. I already own a version of CD on my computer but it would be cool to play it on my GCN. I've played Chaotix on an emulator and its not that great, I also played the Sonic arcade game where there are other characters, unfortently the Fighters rom messed up. Still I wonder how many games they could put on there, maybe Sonic Shuffle will be on the disc.

Wasn't Sonic Jam just Sonic 1+2+3 with some added features?

I dunno.... too many Sonic games to remember.

Yeah Sonic Jam was a Saturn compilation that had a lot of commercials, the first three games with Knuckles and some 3D game.

I beg to differ...

I agree, though; there needs to be "Sega Greatest Hits" for one of the systems with all the great Saturn games - Knights, Panzer Dragoon, Panzer Dragoon RPG, and that wacky firefighting game.

what does that have to do with emulating the Saturn and its seven processors?  That is a link to DOA: Ultimate for Xbox on Amazon.com....  I'm confused

Sonic R and Sonic CD would make this a good compilation.  I enjoyed both on my old computer, but my new comp won't run them.  Sonic R was a lot of fun to me.  Sonic CD was just awesome, it had everything.  Loop-de-loops, long stretches of running, Great level design (there are pretty much no pits), the first apperance of Amy the Hedgehog,  the first apperance of Mecha-Sonic, and so many levels.  The time travel mechanic was way past cool, and the special stage was one of the best.  It also marked the first time a cheesy song was used for a theme, and all the music was high quality.

Oddly enough, Sonic CD was the only sonic game that wasn't made by Sonic Team.
It may be simple, but it ain't easy.

DOA 1 that's included in DOA Ultimate is a port of the Saturn version. Either emulating the Saturn is not that hard, or Team Ninja's coders are as good as they say they are, take your pick...

If it turns out to be true, then Sega has submitted to the fans. It seemed Sega (or Sonic Team) wanted Sonic CD under the rug for a long time. A pride issue perhaps? But the fans remember. The fans demand it. They showed some Sonic CD footage during the montage promoting Shadow the Hedgehog. They had the guts to show it, so it means they're at least listening.

I won't take too much stock into this rumor until I see some evidence.

Or perhaps they just rewrote the game to run on x86 hardware? There's enough performance left in the XB to compensate for any inefficiencies in the code.
