Hardcore Gamer: For many Sonic fans, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is the pinnacle of the franchise. The game has been re-released several times since its debut on the Sega Genesis in 1992, but none of those iterations have officially included the Hidden Palace Zone until now. Christian Whitehead and his teammates at Sonic Retro have revived the forgotten stage for the remastered mobile release. Originally created to display Sonic's transformation into Super Sonic, Hidden Palace Zone was scrapped after the decision was made to grant players the ability directly after obtaining all seven chaos emeralds. Although corrupted fragments of the stage can be found on the original cartridge through game enhancement, this marks the first time the level has appeared in its completed form. The question is, is it any good?
For over thirty years, Sonic the Hedgehog has provided memorable video game music and brought many artists from around the world together.
The Sega Genesis is a tad underappreciated. This site has already posted about how this console was great for the RPG genre despite the SNES getting more glory. However, that was not the only genre that flourished on the Genesis/Mega Drive.
Shining Force is on my long list of game series should be revived. Same with console Phantasy Star
Shining Force 1, 2 and 3 were awesome, the third one can only be played with emulation along with the translation project because of Episode 2 and 3 that were only released in JP. But I agree, I don't know why SEGA don't revive this franchise, tactics games are very well accepted these days.
I didn't know that about the third one. After the success of the last Fire Emblem, I can't imagine why we don't get more tactics RPGs out there. I'd even take a tactics ogre at this point
YES
i love shining force. i need a bundle with all the games in it.
but the mobile game is coming soon anyways :)
I'm sorry but I feel the list has been made by a person checking his own backlog catalog.
Mortal Kombat 2? missing half of the sounds and animation from the arcade.
And can we say Super dark soul difficulty when we say Earthworm Jim 2
Here's my pick for still holding up and fun
- Shinobi Shadow Dancer, not too tough nor too easy with a good arcade challenge 1 hour long to complete.
- Gunstar Heroes
- Nhl 94
- Thunder Force 3
Great lost with lots of memories. A reboot of the Shadowrun game and Shining Force would keep me entertained and busy for a long time.
-Soleil
-Sonic 2, 3 and knuckles, pinball
-that one x-men game i always forget its name
-that one fighting game that has different characters (a fishmen, an assassin lady, a private detective from the 70s etc)
-shining force 2
-dynamite heady (probably the best looking genesis game, imo)
-wonderboy in monster world
those are the ones that come to mind ha.
Sega CD version is so much better though.. I had both versions back in the 90's
We have gathered the hands-down best nostalgic Android games for those of you who want to take a trip down memory lane.
That seemed like a better way to include Super Sonic, least then it gave you a reason to collect all the Chaos Emeralds...
What I'm not liking is the fact it's been done for Mobile...why.
Everytime something like this happens whether it's an enhanced version of a game, once forgetten content or maybe extra stuff gamers have been wanting for years they add it in mobile versions
It's like a slap to the face to fans at the end of the day
Sonic 2 Hidden Palace ?
