Topic: Sonic CD

Sonic CD is going to be released on PSN and XBLA. Disappointed it's not coming to VC.

Just get the GameCube compilation "Sonic Gems Collection."

The Sega CD isn't supported. Games can't come to consoles on the VC if they're not supported.

It's also coming to iOS, if you have an iPhone/iPod.

Hmm... might get it on PSN, but I still have alot of games that I never touched yet. To those who played it, how would you rank this game compared to the other 2D sonics? I was interested in playing but never had the chance before.

On a side note, that intro really is the bomb. SONIC BOOM!!!

They are actually taking out Sonic Boom, if this article is correct.

Japanese soundtrack has Toot Toot Sonic Warrior which is even better than Sonic Boom. Fact.

I agree 100%. While I still like Sonic Boom, it's not even CLOSE to being as cool as the Japanese title track.

Aww... and I really want to play this one without having to hunt down a copy of Gems Collection

Btw, the American soundtrack will be missed. It had a lot of great songs on there that had a different feel than the Japanese version, including that infamous death music:

The Japanese title track's name is actually "You can do anything", which is in fact better than Sonic Boom. I can't say I'm surprised the Wii isn't getting Sonic CD, but it still kind of a downer when even the iOS is getting it. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to settle with the 360's awkward D-pad.

Nope. I like the Japanese soundtrack better overall, but nothing beats Sonic Boom.

I'd prefer the Japan / Europe soundtrack myself - US is still good though.

The PAL version of Sonic Gems was not only locked at 50Hz, but had the American soundtrack on Sonic CD... Thats why I imported a Japanese copy of Gems, plus it also has the MD Bare Knuckle trilogy on the disc.

I guess since the Japanese Sonic CD is coming to NA via XBLA & PSN, I guess we can now rename the Japanese soundtrack the "PS360 soundtrack" and call the American soundtrack the "Wii soundtrack" since you can play the American Sonic CD on Wii via Sonic Gems Collection. :

Japanese soundtrack means this song is in it (according to description ) [youtube:BZB6uMCkVL0] which makes it awesome.

I actually didn't really enjoy Sonic CD much. I was expecting something more like the Mega Drive games but it just seemed confusing so I didn't play it long.

I might download this if and when I get some extra cash. I still have a working Genesis with the CD addon and a copy of this game. Besides the XBLA version having the Japanese soundtrack is there any other difference from the original Sega CD NA version and this?

Gotta love that cheesey 1990's synthpop.

But why is the Japanese soundtrack in English?

Agreed. I had no idea how to progress through the levels. The whole time-warp mechanic wasn't explained very well. Plus the stage music was terrible.
