That's pretty cool.
Edit: oh wait Sega isn't releasing this in the US? It's sonic! How hard can it be?

Fuck sake Sega.
This is awesome and all, but none of your 3D Classics have been released in the US.

They presumably still have one more game left, although if they're trying to avoid licensing fees, I could see them going with something other than Afterburner or Outrun.

Do old school Sonic fans consider this or Sonic 2 as the better game? I have Sonic 2 on the Wii.
Sonic 2 is best Sonic.
Everyone was so sure the final two games would be Afterburner II/Outrun, although this is hardly a disappointing outcome. I wonder what the fourth game will be...
EDIT: oh, and another thing, why did they bother adding remappable controls?
Sonic 2, for sure.

All 3D classics have been downloadable titles on the eShop.
Additionally, SEGA PLEASE RELEASE THIS IN THE US!!

Downloadable eShop game only.
Although now that Sonic's coming, I wouldn't be surprised if SEGA eventually bundled all these together for an retail release.

I forgot Game Gear games existed on the VC. I have Shinobi and that's it. :lol

I was hoping they'd focus more on arcade games for their 3D remakes. The Super Hang On port was glorious, and was the reason I finally broke down and bought a JP 3DS (stop laughing!)
I was really hoping the follow up would have been Outrun.

Three 3D Sega classics remakes.
None released on the US or EU so far.
Yep.

Yeah, I honestly thought they'd just stick to Arcade/Super Scaler stuff. I wouldn't mind another Genesis game like Ristar or Shinobi III.
I wonder if they'll implement the additions (Spin Dash, toggling the spike bug) from Sonic Jam. I wouldn't put it past M2 to do something like that.
I like Sonic 2 a little more, but both games are excellent. I'm not a big fan of Sonic 3, but that's because I haven't played that game much, as I used to get stuck on the second stage of Hydrocity Zone (and then the same happened on Marble Garden Zone).

Now that I'm finally seeing the link. I feel bamboozled by all the hype in this thread.
I would forgive for Sonic 3D Blast HD (with Saturn music and enhanced Bonus Stages). Or you know... some new actual 3D/Modern Sonic..... Don't be a Capcom Sega, you still have a future.

3D Classics: Sonic 3 & Knuckles and Ristar.
I would die happy.

Thanks, just wondering if I bought the right one. Might check this out at some point though.

Also, we're getting the worst Sonic of the MD trilogy....Why so happy?
The weirdest post.
I prefer Sonic 1 for its platforming elements, although most people will prefer Sonic 2 (and a few wackos Sonic 3). All are worth checking out at some point though.

=( The worst of the original trilogy. Sonic 2 please.

Huh. I wonder what the differences between the Japanese and overseas versions of Sonic 1 even are.
They need to get this and Space Harrier in North America ASAP. Sega's supposed to be all about this digital strategy now...what's the hold up? :|

So, it looks different to you? All I see is the same sprites, probably with 3D layers. It's not even in widescreen.
Because it's still a good game anyway?...

Makes too much sense. Won't happen.
It's like the 3D Classics, they look the same but with 3D enabled. That was to be expected.
yeah,no that not even close.
More info from google translate:
- Spin dash can toggle on/off
- Can save anywhere
- Stage select
- Fully customizable controls
- Includes both Japanese and English version (apparently there's a small difference between the two versions)
- 2 screen modes: normal and CRT mode
- 3D options to emphasize depth or pop-out effects a la Mario 3D Land
- Adjustable sound balance

Lol, damn people are hard on Sonic 1. It is the worst, I don't even like it much myself . . . but it's fucking Sonic 1 at the end of the day, damn.

Yeah, but seems a wasted slot when we could have get a game that wasn't ported to 100 different devices or at least the better games...

I looked at the images in the link and seriously thought "what is different."
I am still serious, I can't see it from that website. I suppose the 3D effect is supposed to happen when you're playing the game on 3DS, but most other games seem to give you some hint of what to expect when you're looking at screens from a non-3D device... like your computer.
Like this image:
I can't read Japanese, but I figure that they're showing off the two versions. As far as I can tell, both images are identical except for some saturation. Sorry if I'm missing something obvious here.
I'm sorry but I'm being serious

Japanese version has scrolling clouds in the background of Green Hill Zone, as well as different spike mechanics (spikes ignore knockback invincibility if you happen to bounce back onto another set of spikes.)
That's all I know off the top of my head.

Sonic 2, 3 & Knuckles next please

Looks like one is emulating some sort of old CRT. Rounded edges on the screen, a bit fuzzy, slightly off colours.
This was my first wish for what Sega could do in 3D after Space Harrier, glad to see they felt the same. It will be amazing if they follow suite with Sonic 2-& Knuckles if this ends up selling well in Japan (and whenever they decide to bring it to the west)
This saying still holds true even now.
That's probably what it's trying to do. Space Harrier 3D had a similar mode where it made the screen tilt/move constantly to replicate the arcade versions feel.

They are probably showing a TV mode option. Other 3D Sega Classics have modes like that (space harrier simulates the arcade cabin), this probably imatates a CRT screen with what it seems a blurry/scanlines filter.
Wasn't the emulations/conversion a bit iffy?

There's a picture of Sonic doing a spin dash on the site somewhere.
