Eurogamer: SEGA Vintage Collection Review

Eurogamer writes: "Following a drip-drip accumulation of classic SEGA titles on Xbox Live Arcade, the venerable publisher finally splurged itself big-style last Wednesday, with a whopping six titles in one beefy update. Priced at just 400 Microsoft Points (GBP 3.40 / EUR 4.80 in actual pennies) they're already roughly half the price of the same games on Nintendo's Virtual Console, and come with online doohickies to boot. It's a great price point for this sort of game - it makes the true classics an absolute steal, yet also makes the pretty good titles much more appealing."

I think this is the first time anyone working for sega has actually confirmed it’s being made. There has just been a lot of rumors, speculation, and leakers, but nobody working for sega said specifically it was being made until now.

I'm still waiting for new Ristar, Comix Zone, and Skies of Arcadia games

Sonic 3 & Knuckles is peak 2D Sonic for me. Probably my most played Genesis game.

No, not a divisive game. The visuals, levels, music, controls were all great. Having to buy Sonic & Knuckles wasn't an issue at all, just more awesome gaming made available to me at the time. I lived through that era, and I don't remember anyone complaining that they had to buy another cartridge just to get the complete game, if you enjoyed Sonic games on the Genesis, you were happy to get another one back then.

The only issue with Sonic 3 is that stupid freakin' horrible "BARREL OF DOOM!" all because Sonic Team didn't properly communicate to the player what to do.

This! This! THIS!!!

The only divisive thing about Sonic 3 was that freaking barrel.

I had 1 & 2, I played 3 at someone else's house. When I heard about S3 & Knuckles I assumed it was the same game with just Knuckles added in and thought it was stupid, until I found out a while later it was much more. I wonder how much more they could've put onto the game carts, I know there were cut levels in some of the games.
