As a compilation title of several Classic Sonic favorites, Sonic Mega Collection preserves Sonic's history for fans old and new in the best ways.
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."
This was life for me back in the GameCube days... Used to play this all the time. Loved the Zelda Collection as well!
Then you look at Sonic Origins and you're like "Bro...what the f*** happened"
