That sure brings me back. We didn't have Wi-Fi in our house and even when I got the adaptor, my dad was very "Oh that thing will give us viruses" over everything I did with the family computer, so I played my first ever online matches of anything in secret. Mario Kart 7 was my first real online gaming experience.
Sold the Adaptor when we had Wi-Fi and my dad was more eased over online safety. Kinda want an adaptor again for the collection someday.
Yeah, I was in no rush to buy this collection anyway so might just wait on the sale. I have many a collection, download, heck I brought the DS Collection recently as it was the only collection, bar the PC one, I didnt own. And thats mainly because I think this replacement music is going to increase the value of Sonic 3 and whatever compilations its own. Do the games run iffy on DS? Yes, but it has those 3 tracks (No multiplayer mode sadly) so it could easily become a £20+ game in due time. Doesnt help that SEGA removed digital versions of these games as well.
I would agree, these rearrangements are not as good as the OG Prototype music and would have been fine with the OG Prototype but as is....I'll just wait awhile.
A Gamecube onwards app would take up too much space, it be better suited to a Switch 2 with GBs in the 3 digits.
Yes there are SD Cards, but you're limiting it to those who can afford an SD card of decent size. Kids who only have the onboard 32GB for whatever reason would either have to delete a ton of things or miss out.
Funny enough, I picked up the DS Collection today as its the only Sonic Collection, bar the PC one, that I don't own and I have a feeling these Collections with unaltered Sonic 3 are going to rise in value soon.
And....yeah, its sure is a dodgy emulator they're using, even when playing on a DSi XL. On top of the known issues, they strangely used Sonic 3's act 1 mini boss music for Sonic and Knuckles's act 1 mini bosses.
Regardless, if you take it as it is, a DS Collection that struggles to play the games, its at least far more playable than Sonic 1 GBA.
@Banjo- He's the greatest musician of all time, so I can see why they can be stingy with him over other dead artists. We'll only start to see new material and unreleased stuff through a drip feed once the revenue for Jackson music starts to decline.
They likely held back on some announcements and reveals in-case there was to be an E3 this year and since there isnt, there'll likely be a regular summer Direct with some big E3-worthy stuff.
@Pandy-the-Panda I think we will soon. Since Origins is coming in 2 months I doubt we'll see Sonic 1 on the service for awhile which only leaves 1 Sonic game they can release now.
That would be awesome, but I don't think they'll just give away Pokemon RBYGSC away for free on the Apps, so its probably another 3DS scenario where we have to buy them each...
....or they end up just doing this for Mario Golf and Tennis.
Finally, an update! And the fact its a rating should mean whatever issues like the Sonic 3 music have been resolved, the collection's near enough finished and we can probably see a new trailer soon with that all important release date.

Re: Nintendo Hosting Tetris 99 'Second Chance' Maximus Cup This Friday
@Tandy255 My guess is if there is one, it was planned for after its original September release, so maybe then?

Re: Fire Emblem Fates Sales Will End On The 3DS eShop In February 2023
Well that's.....odd.
Care to do a Complete Edition on the Switch sometime?
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Special Edition Pre-Orders Delayed Until After Launch (UK + EU)
Thats a shame, but at least that calms my concerns of not having the game on day one.
Will finally put in an order today and hope I grab the LE stuff later on. Hopefully its not TOO overpriced without the game?

Re: Video Game Publisher Bandai Namco Appears To Have Be Hacked
Turns out all they found were release dates for 20 more Pac Man Compilations.
Re: Nintendo Is Adding Pokémon Puzzle League To Switch Online's Expansion Pack
@steventonysmith "Look forward not backwards"
...they are all retro games you know. Dated or not, they're all roughly the same age on this app. XD
Re: Nintendo Is Adding Pokémon Puzzle League To Switch Online's Expansion Pack
@mereel Weeeeeeell next month is the 25th anniversary of Goldeneye and we know an XBox version is coming at some point, soooo.....
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles 3 To Get An Expansion Pass Including New Story Content
Kind of a shame its not part of the Expansion Pack sub but still if its anything like 2's, it will be value for money.

Re: Random: Retro Enthusiasts Accomplish World's First Donkey Kong 2P Kill Screen
Surprised it took this long given how much harder its getting to be world champ...
Re: A Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Direct Will Be Airing This Wednesday
So remember the E3 where Xenoblade 2 took up a lot of time basically telling you how to play the game?
Yeah, they're not repeating that mistake.
But dude, I just wanna get to the game now. No need to spoil anything....

Re: Feature: Sonic The Hedgehog Compilations - Every Sonic Collection Before Sonic Origins
@Grumblevolcano It was good, but it omitted the Lock On Sonic titles as apparently there was either no time or space to put them on the Collection.

Re: Pre-Orders For Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Special Edition Open From Tomorrow (US)
B-But the game is due Late July NOE! How am I meant to wait till then to wonder if I'll get an order in or not?
Re: Party On, Dudes! Two Bill & Ted Games Are Getting A Physical Bundle On Switch
@homerstarfan13 It is, but I think at least the GB game is consider decent enough.
Re: Sega Has Considered Dreamcast & Saturn Mini But Is Worried About Extreme Costs
As is, you're more likely to see a Master System Mini or Mega Drive 3 Mini than a Saturn or Dreamcast Mini.
But hey, I can dig Mega CD games getting some rereleases at least.
Re: Shantae Celebrates 20 Years With A Switch eShop Sale, Up To 50% Off
First discount of the GBC game if I'm not mistake so picked that up to complete the set on Switch.
Re: Limited Run's June Showcase Will Feature "Over 30 Game Announcements"
The sooner Plumbers Don't Wear Ties gets a release, the sooner it'll be in a sale like Nightrap and Corpse Killer.

Best of luck to him, and the chap that will take his old role.
Re: Aspyr Is Bringing Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic II To Switch This June
Be nice if Bounty Hunter was next.
Re: Mysterious SEGA Broadcast Announced, Will Unveil A New Project
Mega Drive 2 Mini or new tech that allows for them to beam Mega Drive games directly into your brain.
Either way, MOR PORTS!
Re: PSA: It's The Final Countdown For 3DS And Wii U eShop Credit Card Payments (North America)
@Nontendo_4DS Its been how I've been doing it. Add funds via the Switch, funds are on my Wii U and 3DS eShop Acount as well.
Re: Minecraft Outsells Zelda And Mario To Be The Third Best-Selling Switch Game In The UK

You know, just in-case....
Re: Talking Point: In An Age Of Endless Delays, Nintendo's First-Party Flow Is Extraordinary
They likely held back on some announcements and reveals in-case there was to be an E3 this year and since there isnt, there'll likely be a regular summer Direct with some big E3-worthy stuff.
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Collector's Edition Goodies To Ship At A "Later Date" (Europe)
Honestly, I'll probably beat the game by the time it arrives so I can dive into the artbook without worrying about spoilers. XD
Re: Sega Plans To Leverage More Past IP With 'Remasters, Remakes, Reboots'
@Grumblevolcano HOTD 2 is meant to be getting the same treatment too.

Re: Switch Versions Of Sonic 1 And 2 Are Safe As SEGA Plans To Delist Classic Games
Welp, this is your last chance to get Sonic 3 and Knuckles on anything remotely modern incase the soundtrack isn't on the Origins Collection.
Just keep in mind on XBox, you need to buy Sonic 2, and 3 along with and Knuckles for the whole Sonic and Knuckles package.
Re: Poll: Will You Play Splatoon 2's DLC Now That It's Included In Switch Online's Expansion Pack?
Got it through a heavy discount thanks to a sale and gold coins...

Re: Three Sega Genesis Games Have Been Added To Nintendo Switch Online's Expansion Pack
@Pandy-the-Panda I think we will soon. Since Origins is coming in 2 months I doubt we'll see Sonic 1 on the service for awhile which only leaves 1 Sonic game they can release now.
Re: Poll: Are You Finding Sonic Origins' Various Editions And DLC Packs Confusing?
It's been confirmed Mirror Mode can be unlocked so I can assume the Digital Deluxe is for those not willing to do it the hard way.
I'll take the challenge if that's the case.
Re: Want To See The Star Wars: Rogue Squadron Games On Switch? Let Aspyr Know
Yes, all 3. Maybe even salvage that near complete build of 4 and fix it up for Switch.
Re: Rumour: Nintendo Has Apparently Tested N64 And Game Boy Connectivity For Switch Online
That would be awesome, but I don't think they'll just give away Pokemon RBYGSC away for free on the Apps, so its probably another 3DS scenario where we have to buy them each...

Re: Where To Pre-Order Xenoblade Chronicles 3 On Switch
Surprising there's no soundtrack. I'm not expecting another vinyl but even 2 had a CD soundtrack in its special edition.
Re: Contra Anniversary Collection Gets Three Collector's Editions From Limited Run Games
Konami, we love your money, I mean our fans!
Re: This Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection Limited Edition Is A Fan's Dream
Yup, Konami found a way to get as much money from us as possible.
Optional at least, but I'm sure enough folks are gonna pick up the limited edition. Gotta pay for the license somehow.
Re: Sonic Origins Receives Rating In South Korea, Key Art Discovered
Finally, an update! And the fact its a rating should mean whatever issues like the Sonic 3 music have been resolved, the collection's near enough finished and we can probably see a new trailer soon with that all important release date.
Re: Nintendo Acquires Land For New Development Building In Japan
Does it come with an opening ceremony with Miyamoto dressed up like Willy Wonka?
Re: Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium Announced For Switch, Will Include 32 Classic Games
So 3-4 slots to more Street Fighter II then.
Re: Nintendo Highlights Another N64 Title Coming Soon To Switch Online's Expansion Pack In Japan
It's more likely we'll get one of the NA or Europe exclusives in their place like Pokémon Puzzle League....or nothing at all knowing Nintendo.

Re: Sonic The Hedgehog 2 Star Jim Carrey Says He's "Fairly Serious" About Retiring
