Fun fact: The Sonic Classic Collection was actually made by a guy who made a homebrew genesis emulator, Sega contacted him and asked if they could comertialize the emu by making a sonic collection

Sonic Jam’s existence probably made more sense in Japan, where the Sega Saturn was way more popular, but ironically Sonic wasn’t a huge hit in that country, meaning Jam possibly could’ve been a lot of Japanese players’ introduction to Sonic

I would've loved a Sonic Advance Collection, those games deserve more love imo.

[justdontbother]

probably the most fun I had was with the Sonic Classic Collection, with Sonic 3 and Knuckles in particular.
I had Super Tails, Hyper Sonic, and Super Knuckles because my younger self just couldn't be bothered to go back and get the Super Emeralds for the 3rd time
I should really go back and finish it

Sonic Mega Collection was my first introduction to older Sonic games back then. And it had Ristar!
And then Gems Collection which i wasn't that much into other than for Sonic CD.
Maybe that's why i don't see value in Origins. I've gotten so spoiled with different Sonic collections that $40 for 3 genesis games and CD is too much.

I actually hate it when people talk negatively about the music of "Sonic R" because I personally think it's quite nice and catchy to listen and sing along to, and it also happens to be the very first game with actual lyrics in its music that I was able to hear at a young age (not counting the arcade versions of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" and "Revolution X", of course).

I legitimately think it would be really interesting and even sell decently if they made a collection of all the meme-y sonic games, like Shadow the Hedgehog, 06, and Unleashed, to name a few.

Super Mario All Stars:

another fun fact: sonic classic collection was meant to inclued more games but those games were scrapped

[gracekim]

I must admit I’d like to give Sonic 06 a try considering I’ve tried Shadow the hedgehog. The latter was…ok. I mean I love the idea of multiple endings but…it felt so different controlling him compared to Sonic heroes😅

[gurvmlk]

Taito Legends, and Capcom Classics Collection were also collections that had sequels. I know this because during that generation, I was that guy who was buying pretty much any compilation game that was put out there.

The starting of the video made me so happy it is way too legendary

[NunofYerbizness]

A good video, though Flicky isn't available at the start in any release of Sonic Mega Collection. Also, Sonic Gems Collection's aesthetic carries a bit from the Xbox/PS2/PC exclusive Sonic Mega Collection+, and those games are in Gems Collection to an extent; They can only be accessed through unlockable missions, and also they have a timer.

[-Bit.Rejoice]

Let's admit it, sonic megacollection is unbeatable

[jumpmadmadness]

Say what you will about Sonic R, but the soundtrack made me come back for more 🎵

[starleaf-luna]

sonic jam is special however, as the games aren't emulated like the newer collections and rereleases, but instead they're straight ports to the saturn

[shenmuebaloff]

I always I asked myself if in the Sonic Mega Collection Japanese version they add Dr Robotnik mean bean machine or Puyo Puyo?

[AverageNintenGuy]

Sonic Classic Collection on the Nintendo DS was my first experience with Sonic the Hedgehog, God that was probably not a good experience

[KingOfFire]

I have been waiting for sonic origins for a pretty long time now

[andrewpappas]

I remember playing Sonic Gens collection on my GameCube when I was younger, good times
