If S&K is released, then I couldn't care less what they do with the Genesis afterward.
I'm still hoping for the SMS Columns.

@Stuffgamer - I wouldn't really call that spitting on your faces, it's not like the Ultimate Collection was all that expensive.

Will be passing on Sonic & Knuckles as I don't need it nor do I want to download the other Sonic games onto the VC as I don't need those either.

I do want Final Fight 3 but not this week. It will be placed on my list of games I plan to get at some point though.

Edgey, Gumshoe, Godot, Sissel, Larry, then Mia, Franziska, Maggie, Kay and Lynne.

I'm throwing my money at the screen but nothing happens!

I bet North America get Sonic and Knuckles Monday! but where's Mario Kart for Europe?

I'm very pleased that Europe is getting Final Fight 3. That is one I have been waiting for. Also I'm generally pleased that decent Virtual Console support seems to have returned to Europe. Hopefully this will continue after our recent lean spell.

I hope so. It feels strange to have a VC game every week again. And to know about games weeks in advance too.

They probably needed a rest period to aquire more games for release or something. Whatever the case, the worse seems to be behind us and although we still have a lot to catch up on, for the near future, the VC looks good.

Yeah, but neither was Sonic's Mega Collection, which included lock-on. Compare that to paying $20 on Xbox Live Arcade or a whopping $32 on Virtual Console just to have full access to all the content in Sonic & Knuckles after I ALREADY spent money on that collection disc. That disc which is quite literally the ONLY release to ever include Sonics 1-3 and Sonic & Knuckles but NOT have a lock-on mode. A mode which I have on good techie authority takes EXTREMELY little work to implement.

And of course, when you call something "Ultimate," you REALLY shouldn't leave out something your core fanbase is naturally going to expect to be in there, least of all a feature related to the specific series whose name is in the title of the collection.

Sonic & Knuckles and Sonic 3 & Knuckles are my favorite Sonic games. Please COME to the VC soon, I would love to play this game with the Classic Controller!

Sonic 3 & Knuckles it's a pain to find in collection, and collection that have it, it's really a pain to unlock that thing, specially on a damn PS2, which mine is dying anyway,
I will buy this one for me for sure

Looks like Nintendo of Europe finally realized how much they messed up in January and wanted to apoligize in February. Fine with me.

Let's hope Sonic & Knuckles comes to North America this month.

I really like the look of how Sonic and Knuckles locks on to your other VC Sonic titles that it's tempting me to buy them all. I'm not going to because I have the Mega Collection - but it really is tempting!

Yeah...I wouldn't be even remoted temped to waste $32 just because the lock-on menu looks cool. Especially since the VC versions are lacking the save state feature from the collections.

suspicious look
Hummm, the VC versions save the state of the game to continue latter, and that's the real reason of why states are useful...
...Unless for... Cheating...

Anyway, there is an good deal to everyone here, if your win more with an collection, for having more games for an reasonable price buy one, if you just want one or two of the games without the rest, the VC it's the deal.

@MrPinguy: If you choose to call "reset state when I lose because these games are retardedly cheap" cheating, then yes, I do use them for that in Sonic games. Otherwise, I'd never have beaten any of them because of the retarded lives system and lack of actual SAVE POINTS/level replayability in most of them.

why are they releasing boring sonic games when they could be releasing Castlevainia Rondo of Blood and Catslevainia Re-Birth,what is it with this country releasing rubbish like they do.

Mega Collection is a far better option... I cant play 50Hz Sonic games.

How about these reasons?

1. Import VC games only come at certain points during the year, the next is several months away.

2. VC games have little basis on what WiiWare games get released. Sonic & Knuckles being released this week doesn't stop Castlevania Rebirth getting released on the same day. If it doesn't, then its just because Nintendo or Konami decided to delay it for longer.

Oh ok, so I'm must be retardedly cheap, since I beat those game legit.
(Sonic 3 and Sonic 3 & Knuckles have an zone and emerald save system, the latter one also saves lives and continues, legit, more than that well, it's lose any kind of challenge that might exist. I say this, well if you what to know about an fair save system.)

Oh Castlevania... that's tempting.
Unfortunately for you this game is one of those that in the general opinion is an good game, excellent for a good number of those.
So yes there are people waiting for this one.
