TBQH I would love for that song to be this game's vocal theme song that all Sonic games seem to have these days.
Yes but sega took it down quickly.Kulock said:I saw the text for that, but I figured it was a placeholder joke, like some of the other things scribbled in. I tried several variants on the link and they all seemed dead. Did they find an actual mp3?
No one grab it in time?gwiz210 said:Yes but sega took it down quickly.
I feel that somehow they are taking a sonci 1-2-3k approach, episode 1 = first 6-7 zones, episode 2 = 6-7 more but includes a new character (tails?) who can also go back and play the first ep1 zones as a bonus "lock-on", same for ep3 with knuckles.RPG_Fanatic said:I guess the advantage of the game being divided into Episodes is that if Episode 1 is horrible, we don't have to buy the rest of the game.
That being said, I willing to give Sega the benefit of the doubt for the first Episode. Hopefully Sega puts enough thought into the level design.
Fixed that for you. Jesus, american Sonic was SO uglyKAL2006 said:exactly the new Mario design simply allowed Nintendo to use the concept art design ingame, because of better graphical powers of newer consoles.
So basically, all Sega needed to do was make a 3D version of their old concept art
It was just the original version.Diablohead said:No one grab it in time?
Even the Canadian Genesis version had that artChao said:Fixed that for you. Jesus, american Sonic was SO ugly
The pal box for sonic 1 will always be the strongest feeling I have for sonic, it was pink! yet somehow fitting, the cool little doodles of robotnik and sonic's little friends, oh man I don't think there has ever been a box art that has sunk into my memory as much as the pal sonic 1 box.BocoDragon said:Even the Canadian Genesis version had that art

The Japanese box art was great IMO. It had the same Sonic, but I feel that the box style accurately captured Sonic's bright funky design.Diablohead said:The pal box for sonic 1 will always be the strongest feeling I have for sonic, it was pink! yet somehow fitting, the cool little doodles of robotnik and sonic's little friends, oh man I don't think there has ever been a box art that has sunk into my memory as much as the pal sonic 1 box.
When I think of sonic, this is always one of the first things I remember, this here is the real sonic.

The music in the marble zone in Sonic1 is so smooth.

voice clips every so often, but not when you jump

I have this release and the manual is full of great full color art and cute engrish inspirational slogans... Non-Japan Sonic games have never had great manuals!
Also the Japanese cart is actually Sonic version 2 with parallaxing clouds and a few bug fixes.
2 Minutes Turkish said:PAL/EURO/AU/CAN Box art is BY FAR the best box art for Sonic 1 and pretty much any Sonic game.
Now that I think of it, the Americans got screwed on pretty much all Sonic box arts if I'm not mistaken.
Sonic looks like a fat weirdo on the US Sonic box art

Sonic 2 one is amazing, but they all remind me of happier days for the franchise...

Wait, so that's why I had that version? I was so confused as a kid. I actually had two Genesis systems and 2 Sonic the Hedgehog games.BocoDragon said:Even the Canadian Genesis version had that art

At S3 launch they used the jungle artwork on the box in the UK, no idea how long for as I was too young/poor to own a copy so had to rent it for a long time.Rlan said:Sonic 3 went weird everywhere:
Those still said Genesis though, right? I saw them mostly at video rental places, i assumed they just imported them or something.Diablohead said:At S3 launch they used the jungle artwork on the box in the UK, no idea how long for as I was too young/poor to own a copy so had to rent it for a long time.
I know a lot of people from the sonic community know this but since it was pointed out it's so damn obvious that sonic's hands on that box are saying "sonic 3, part 1" (and we also have that piece of artwork with the lights along the bottom saying "part 1 of 2" also.

Ten-Song said:Pretty much. Really makes me retroactively wish I had backed Nintendo instead of Sega way back in the day. If I was a Mario fan way back then and not a Sonic fan, I wouldn't have anything to be bitter about these days. I never have to worry about a proper Mario title being a poorly designed schizophrenic mess.

Brera said:Just hope the music is like Sonic 1 and 2, not Sonic 3!
I am on my iPod touch now so I can't really dig up the info but I'm sure rlan or sega1991 could explain more. There is a full piece of artwork of the sonic 3 carnival picture where there is some writing along the bottom of the roler coaster, which is removed on the box art version.Alphahawk said:Shit, that's awesome. This needs to go in the Mindblowing Video Game Facts thread now.
Did Sonic and Knuckles continue this trend? Also where does it say "part one of two"?
It's kind of funny because in the US and the UK handled the whole thing in completely seperate ways. To the point where, as a US resident, I only relized recently that Sonic and Knuckles and Sonic 3 were at one point supposed to be the same game...

Yup. The basic idea is that Irwin distributed Sega stuff in Canada during the late 80s and very early 90s... and their plan was basically to put "Genesis" on the PAL box art and call it a day. It even says "For Use With The Sega Mega Drive Video Entertainment System" on the bottom of the art. All early Canadian Genesis games were like this.Firestorm said:Wait, so that's why I had that version? I was so confused as a kid. I actually had two Genesis systems and 2 Sonic the Hedgehog games.
Got my first from my uncle when he first came to the country via the US and it was the American box art. It was stolen during a burglary and my parents bought another Genesis for my birthday later. I got Sonic the Hedgehog again and it was this box art. Damn. Over 15 years later I find out why!
