I'm still waiting for a true sonic collection im talking about every sonic game made pre last generation.

I would oh so love to play them all.

I can't believe they've left out Sonic CD on every single compilation released so far.

Sonic Gems Collection"

Between Sonic Mega Collection (Plus) and Sonic Gems Collection you can get the vast majority of classic Sonic games, and I'd assume that they can be picked up for pretty cheap today.

It's too bad that they are both missing out on Sega Sonic the Hedgehog though. That, and playable content from Sonic X-treme, but that's just asking for too much. Perhaps it's much better off remaining as a distant piece of development hell history.

The collection is worth it only for Sonic CD, a remarkably underrated game."

anyways Sonic Mega Collection Plus + Sonic Gems Collection = Epic win

Actually just Sonic Mega Collection Plus by itself = Epic win, but since I know I have to come to terms with the fact that I'm the only person in the world who realizes how not-great Sonic CD is, I guess you could get the gems collection too. But then again it's only on Gamecube and playing sonic games on that controller is kind of awful, so what's the point?

Dude, you really don't like Sonic CD? You have played it right? I mean, I understand not everyone likes every game, but that game was way rad in my opinion.

I think it has always been considered overrated because it was released primarily on Sega CD, which only like 37 people bought (ok, there was a PC port as well). So the game never really sold number comparable to the previous Sonic games.

Even if you didn't like the game, you have to admit it was pretty cool to be able to pop that cd into you newfound cd player and listen to the soundtrack.

I'm just fine with them leaving out Sonic games. The less of them the better.

Yeah, Sonic CD is a big omission, but I just have the "Sonic Gems Collection" . 
The Sonic Ultimate Genesis Collection is really good otherwise, and has sweet achievements. I still recommend it highly.

Well, given that it's called the ULTIMATE GENESIS COLLECTION...I'm not expecting it to have all the Sonic games...but rather good GENESIS games.

I'm still waiting for a re-make of the first Sonic.

"Well, given that it's called the ULTIMATE GENESIS COLLECTION...I'm not expecting it to have all the Sonic games...but rather good GENESIS games.

And it has Shining Force and Shining Force II, so it's auto-win.

Actually its called, SONICS ultimate genesis collection.

But regardlessof that i still want a collection with every single sonic game before the last gen. they could easily fit them all.

Genesis sucks.

There is no japanese release that i can see and it was developed by backbone entertainment but i think it has more to do with the fact that sonic and megadrive are popular in their regions, Sonic being the official face of sega in america and megadrive being more widely recognized in europe.

As for it just being an contraction I see sonics ultimate collection and i think sonic games as most people would.
But yeah there are a few releases missing including GBA titles, and the sonic adventure games like i said i still wanna see a total sonic collection with every game released from sonic 1-sonic adventure I can do without the GBA titles since they were developed by THQ and nintendo would have publishing rights.
But I do believe they could fit every sonic game from 1-adventure including gamegear, pc titles. Im a stickler for completeness and don't wanna miss out on any thing.

Give me Sonic the Hedgehog 2 HD Remix (or something like that) and I will be happy.

Though id like to add i found this.

You're gonna turn yellow as soon as I find you.  That's going to be because I'm pissing on your face, though.

So you mean you don't read things fully and in correct context, but instead you are duped easily like most consumers by simply looking at the brand name and not the actual meaning of what you are reading?  I mean, it's basic high school English, William.

Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection

Let's take this apart.

Sonic's is a contraction, which means it's a possessive word.  So what does he possess?  A Collection.  Okay, what kind of a collection?  Ultimate Genesis.  Well, there's no such thing as an Ultimate Genesis, so Ultimate must be an adjective.  Take out the adjective...

Therefore...what kind of collection is it?  GENESIS.

-_-  Not a Sonic collection.

Anyone who is willing to get easily duped into believing this is a SONIC collection deserves to get duped and disappointed.  Sorry.

"

I think Id prefer what this is rather than what you want. Mainly cause streets of rage 2. id pay 50 dollars just for that game. I prob wouldn't play it anymore cause I played it to much but damn. Thats worth the money.

I wasn't duped by it...because I did read the name.  When I read "Sonic Mega Collection +", then I see that there is no possessive state in that...meaning that yes, it's a Sonic collection.  I was disappointed with it in many ways, just like everyone else.  However, this one is called "Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection".  Now, if I knew nothing about the English language, then I would automatically assume that the game was nothing but Genesis-based Sonic games.  Yes.  I see your point there.  However, knowing the English language, I was able to determine that it is actually a collection of Genesis games...and that the chances are there would be Sonic games included.

So, hopefully that clarifies things a little better for you.  If not...then I would suggest taking English again.  I actually am sorry to be mean like that, but honestly...it's not like it's that hard, mang.

Either way, I thought the collection had a ton of really awesome games in it.  Then again, a lot of those games are ones that I haven't played in probably close to a decade (Kid Chameleon and Alex Kidd stand out pretty hard)...and I'm disappointed that there is no Gunstar Heroes.  However, I'll manage since they included my favorite Genesis game possible:  Shining Force II.

Streets of Rage 2 is definitely a classic brawler that I have fond memories with.

But seriously, no Gunstar Heroes is basically a capital punishment crime.

The collection was worth it just for the Shining Force games and Phantasy Star IV.

I still love Sonic III man. That game was the shit.

  Heres my opinion on Jungle Levels. Streets of Rage 3 had one. Streets of Rage 3 sucked. Streets of Rage 2 had no jungle level, but still had 8 levels of fun challenging gameplay. Streets of Rage 2 was amazing.

Actually in my mind it does...
This is what games with jungle levels do to you.

Because that analogy makes sense right?

Yes, MasturbatingBear.  The Streets of Rage 2 page does exist.  It has pictures too.  Very good.  /pathead

Nah I like Sonic games. Jungle levels not so much. And I am not mentally disturbed despite what my parents say.

Your a fucking clod. Obviously any normal person would look at it like I did and say "hey, it's sonics ultimate genesis collection, that means that this has all the great sonic games I loved and a bunch of other really good genesis games". Seriously, who the fuck takes apart titles like that when looking at a product? The goal of a title is to be simple and to the point, easy to understand for people that quickly glance at it. Anyway, it isn't an ULTIMATE GENESIS anything without Sonic 3 and Knuckles, Sonic CD, and MUSHA. "
