5 unlockable games? Will they be full versions of classic games or just small mini games? Maybe well be able to unlock Sonic Cd, which sadly they missed out. Whatever it is, im so buying this when it come sout on PAL.

The best part is that you can play as Knuckles in Sonic 1, 2, and 3. This is going to be a good Christmas present!

Where the hell am I going to get the time to play all these games?

You know, I love Sonic. I really, really do (well, 2D Sonic anyway). But I'm not jumping for joy over Sonic Mega Collection. It's Sonic Jam plus three crappy games (okay, Sonic Spinball wasn't bad, but it wasn't uber-spectacular either). I'm not going to hold my breath for anything special with the unlockable mini games either. I'm sure Yuji Naka said that they didn't have enough space on the disk for Sonic CD (I'm guessing that no Sonic CD means no Chaotix ).

Instead, I'll patiently wait for Sonic Advance 2 on my beloved Game Boy Advance. Classic Sonic Speed!!

I'm glad my Genesis and Saturn still work (almost) perfectly. I'm running low on cash as is, I don't need to re-buy some classics just yet.

*sigh* the unlockable games have been announced:

1. Knuckles in Sonic 2
2. Knuckles in Sonic 3
3. Blue Spear (Sonic and Knuckles locked on with Sonic 1)
4. Flicky
5. Ristar.

I think Sonic Team are being a bit lazy latly. Those first 3 should have been playable from the start, and why Ristar? Whats that got to do with Sonic?
