When I was a child I remember Sonic was too fast and difficult for me: I wasn't able to grasp the game. Now of course I'm too old and my reflexes are aging 😅
As a side note, my Parents didn't want I played videogames so I did it occasionally at my friend houses.
I had to start working for buying my first console.
Played through Sonic 2 last night, which is a fantastic game, but it scratched the Sonic itch for me to help me wait for this to 50% off
I like the way they approach to modernize the graphics but keeping it authentic and retro…
How are people so hyped up for Sonic collection #7651?
Because it's the first time that Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles is remade, the first time that the 1 & 2 remakes are available outside mobile, because these are some of the best games ever made and there are additional modes and content.
@Pigrotto Perhaps it's a good opportunity to keep your reflexes young 😉. There is almost infinite replayability in these games so you can train not just that but memory as well.
@Banjo- Thank you: I will keep in mind your advice 🙂
@Pigrotto I’ve just started playing Sonic Mania properly after owning it for ages and with a little perseverance I’m getting better at it than I was as a kid. Finally! 39 years old.
@BundyDanger I'm happy you are having fun and mastering the game. Anyway 45 here... 😅
@Banjo- I literally just bought Sonic 2 with 3D enhancements on 3DS a few days ago. And I just saw it come up as "recommended" in the Windows store for Xbox. And it's in plenty of collections
In B4 "durr hurr it's a remaster not a port becuz raisons". From what I am seeing you may be able to make that argument with Sonic 1, but not Sonic 2/3 and CD. And even then I would consider it more rom hack than remaster.
Hopefully I am wrong but this does look pricey for what it is. Why can't they include the Game Gear games or Knuckles Chaotic?
