IGN writes: "We're only a week away now from the release of Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection, a compilation disc that brings together over 45 retro classics from the SEGA archives for a combined re-release on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The package, which will ship to stores with an MSRP of $29.99, should turn out to be a great value for fans of the games of yesteryear -- and particularly interesting is the contrast that that pricepoint presents when you consider the third current-gen console, Nintendo's Wii."
This week Fred, Jam, and Derrick from Dead Pixel Live are celebrating the 25th Anniversary of the Sega Genesis. The first heavy hitter of the 16-bit generation started as a console for sports games and high quality arcade ports and later became known as the console for edge and violence. GH101 covers the creation, launch, and span of a console that in six short years gave us a coveted library of memories
When it comes time to document the greatest games ever made, TGC explains why Sonic 3 should make the cut.
This game was brilliant. And not many people know that Michael Jackson was a composer for this game.
I always thought Sonic 3 had the worst soundtrack of Sonic's 16-bit games.
Well I thought it was among the best. But that also depends on which version you heard because some tracks changed depending on the version.
Definitely one of my all time favorites, especially Sonic 3 & Knuckles. I played Sonic 1 & 2 back on the Genesis but didn't get the chance to play 3 until years later when I got the Sonic collection on PC. And holy cheese, when I finally did play S3&K it blew my friggin' mind! :)
my best game of all time is SONIC 3 and KNUCKLES i cant even begin to explain the joy i had with this honestly i fell in love with it .
Those Sonic games really did feel like a roller coaster ride. Watching this video brought back the memories too. I used to be a huge Sonic fan even used to love the cartoon. To me Sonic 2 and 3 are if nothing else among the top greatest games of all time, and they never age. Even now if you never played them, I can almost guarantee you would immediately feel the magic on your 1st try.
GamesAsylum: "Amongst various timeless Zelda and Mario titles, incredibly obscure PlayStation 2 and GameCube releases and some soon to be classic Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 games sits a few others on our bulging dusty shelves that we wouldn’t even dream of trading-in or putting on eBay.
As the name of this article has more than likely already given away, they’re retro collections. Regular readers will know that we’ve always had a soft spot for these, and so today we’re looking at eight of the best.
Inexpensive and often containing one or two games that would cost a small fortune if purchased for their original hardware, all of these offer decent value for money as well as serving as invaluable portals back to misspent youth"
It'll cost like 100 bucks to get this off virtual console! Dammit there are a alot of good titles in that disk I mean they'll all be on VC soon but i want the wad of gaming on that collection. Now i'm pissed!
