News Sega Launches 'Ultimate Sonic Bundle' On Switch eShop, But Something's Missing
Actually, several things are missing
When something is described as 'ultimate', you'd be forgiven for thinking that this essentially means "the best of the best', or "the most complete package".

I needs - when’s it coming?
This is the next Ages game to be released in Japan, I guess it will be a few weeks from now.
That just leaves Thunder Force 3, GLOC, and Herzog Zwei.
Hopefully we get some new announcements soon
As a retro re-release this is brilliant. I've played through to the ending last night and it is 10/10 for a retro re-imagining. However it is not the best version of Sonic 2 (the mobile release Taxman upgrade - widescreen support is a game changes for fast platforms).
