This game comes out next month, finally!

I'm confused, does that mean the purchase of S&K means it includes the other games within it?
No. It means you can play as Knuckles in the other games.

Hopefully it won't be at the end of the month, can't wait to finally play S3&K again.

Kinda interesting.. all 4 games together will be 1600 points, which is about $20... which is about the same price you can get the Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection for. Unfortunately, Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection doesn't have lock-on, you guys think that Sega left it out on purpose? So that we would be paying extra on Xbox Live?

Where did you get the August 9th date from? That article you linked didn't specify a date...unless I missed it.

Is there any other reason to leave the lock-on tech out of the "ultimate" collection? Yes I think they held out on purpose! Regardless, im stoked for this. It would be sweet if they at least made achievements for S3+K considering that game is full length, and there are 14 emeralds to get.

If it's actually like how it originally worked, it was nothing but Sonic 3/S&K, special stages over and over.

I bet the game looks for a save file from sonic 1, 2, or 3 on your hard drive before you can play them.

Oops. I meant August '09, not August 9th, sorry for the confusion. :]

yeah, they definitely left it out on purpose. FWIW, I read that they claimed ignorance on it, then some guy posted the actual code for the lock-on to work, which theoretically could be put into a patch for UGC, and that guy pretty much got ignored...and here we are, lock on is a special feature for the XBLA version only :lol:
hate backbone so much!
I had all 4 games on the PS2 sonic collection. So... Bleh. :)

Wait, so content-wise, do I still have everything covered if I own the Sonic Mega Collection for Xbox? Or does the "lock on" add more stuff? I'm playing catch-up with the Sonic games since I never had a Genesis as a kid :-P

Sonic Mega Collection Plus (which is backwards compatible) already includes Sonic and Knuckles (with lock on games).

The version on partnernet does allow you to DL the other sonic games from with in S&K, but not sure about the retail.

So it's out and apparently doesn't have the level select/save feature that the original had. FML.

Were you suprised by this? Sonic 3 didn't have it, figured this wouldn't either.
Already ran through this with Sonic, and failed harsh at getting all 7 emeralds. Gona finish this up tonight with Knuckles.

I actually never got neither Sonic 3 nor Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection because they don't contain the complete game...
Is the old Xbox collection the real deal at least? Maybe I should just pick that up instead. :\
