Sonic The Hedgehog GBA 15th Anniversary Edition

[joshnickerson]

I read on Planet Gamecube that Sega plans on porting over Sonic's first Genny game over to the GBA, with a couple of new features, namely the spin dash and the ability to save, at the budget price of $20. Anyone else hear about this? Kinda pointless, considering Sonic Mega Collection and the upcoming Virtual Console, but hey, I guess if it sells...

[SirDrexl]

It's not any more pointless than the numerous other ports. Sometimes people just want to play a game they already have on the go.

[Matt-El]

Yep! I sure do want portable genesis sonic without carrying around my big nomad, so this is a plus. Now if Sonic 3 and Knuckles can get released on GBA.....

[Iron Draggon]

COOL! We need more Sonic games for the GBA! It would be great if they'd do like they did with DKC and release all of the 16BIT games in the series for it. That would rock!

[DigitalSpace]

While that's not a bad way to mark Sonic's 15th anniversary, I wish Sega would have thrown in at least one more game, like Sonic 2. But if this is true, it's still cool, and it's nice to hear that the GBA isn't entirely dead yet.

Oh, wow, if this actually happened I'd be all over it. I wish there was a way to play the original Sonic games on the go.

! Yeah really, but I think he meant carried in his pocket.

So when is this game coming out? Shouldn't it be out already? His birthday was yesterday! Where's the game?

I really do hope that this is the start of another new Sonic trilogy for the GBA. If they would give us Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 for the GBA, that would be really great! Especially if they followed them up with Sonic & Knuckles with lock-on tech!

OK, I know that last one will probably never happen, but Sonic 1-3 for the GBA would still be really great to have!

[Emuaust]

yeah baby, fck sonic advance just giimme classic PROPER
sife scrolling Sonic fun,

Sonic Rush Excluded

[Chuplayer]

Are there going to be any special editions like the Sonic Adventure 2 10th Anniversary Set? Even if it's Japanese, I'll get it.

[GrayFox]

We need more 15th Anniversary stuff now.

[MegaDrive20XX]

Sonic 1 with the spin dash from Sonic Jam in tact? If it has a good number of extras, it may sell well. Why look at Super Mario Advance for GBA, just a simple port of SMB2 from the Super Mario All-Stars Collection, it sold like hot cakes simply because it was a launch title however. Yet the new features added, made it a sure-fire winner.

Budget?

If it included ALL Sonic games (1,2,3,S&K, plus the combos) then I would buy it. But $20 for one fifteen year old game? Nah.

He just needs bigger pockets then.

Honestly though, I've never been able to get my hands on a copy of Sonic Jam, so I'd buy this just so I could play Sonic 1 with Spin Dashing. Sonic 2 however I'd rebuy even without any extras/enhancements.

Yeah, $20 is kinda steep for the first sonic game. Sega should seriously think about putting at least 1-3 on the one cart to make it worthwile IMO.

Unless thw whole game gets reworked with upgrades and the such like with the SMB and FF advance games.

[MrRoboto19XX]

Alright, is it just me, or 15 years ago did you guys think "Man, I wish there was some way to play sonic games on my gameboy! That would be so cool!"

I know I did, the 1991 me is going insane right now probably running around in his Vaurnet France t-shirt, and telling all his friends this.

The spin dash and save feature will do wonders for this game, especially the spin dash.

Oh, and if youre going to get a nomad, I guess you could say that youre going to need some deep pockets in more than one way!

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.

Thank you, Im here all week.

well I just placed a preorder for it on ebay... it's supposed to ship this Tuesday, November 14th... hope it doesn't get pushed back... I preordered the new Hot Wheels game from the same seller while I was at it... it's supposed to ship on the same day... so I should be getting two new GBA games soon... hopefully by the end of the week... the seller ships by UPS ground, so they should arrive quickly...

If it was 1-3, I'd be all over this. One classic game for $20 is too steep for me.

This wednesday I heard?
