Siliconera: Sonic Classic Collection is heading to the Nintendo DS, but the Genesis-era Sonic games are only designed for one screen. What did Sega do with the other?
Carl Williams writes, "It is unclear what was going through the minds of the executives at Sega when they got the designs for Sonic the Hedgehog but it is clear that gamers loved him. Sonic proved that gamers were tired of slow games and they wanted speed- not just in racing games but in action games too. By the time Sega got to the third Sonic game, the whole speed and nothing but speed was getting a little thin with fans. Sega had to change things up a bit and so they did to great fanfare of fans across the world."
Sega's generosity extends a lot by giving up some of their games again and that includes the two popular retro Sonic games (by which I claimed it to be popular because of the gameplay) on which is the Sonic Blast and Sonic Labyrinth. How was that for all of the 3DS gamers?
As for me, I'm fine with the Sonic franchise but there's a point where I feel bored because of the similar scenario of the sonic series, run and jump gameplay.
While the contents are excellent choices for any Sonic aficionado, a lack of content and poor presentation values make this collection of Sonic titles fall short of expectations, even despite being a decent compilation. Sonic Classic Collection on the Nintendo DS can be summed up in two words: wasted potential.
Nice. It should be fun to play all the classic Sonic's on the go. I'll be getting this collection probably day one. Anybody know its release date?
somewhere in march i beleive
I was kinda hoping itd have to option to go dual screen, similar in playing style to 2007's Sonic Rush. Cant have your cake and eat it i suppose.
how come they didn't implement that in the ps3 and 360 versions, thas a shame
What games will be on this collection? I recently gave away my copy of Sonic Mega Collection to my friend, since his family has next to no money and he really wanted it, so I might get this.
