![]() To add insult to injury, the Sonic Mega Collection and Sonic Gems Collection compilations had over 20 games each for a much cheaper price nearly 20 years ago, when combined, containing all of the games you see here and 35 other games, proving that this compilation is nothing short of a ripoff.Similar to Rockstar Games with Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition, Sega has decided to delist the emulated versions of the original games (and the 2011 Sonic CD remaster) from all digital storefronts in light of the compilation's release, with only the mobile and 3DS versions being unaffected (the latter system's releases will be delisted anyway along with every other digital game on the system following the eShop closure in 2023).You could get the first two Sonic games and Sonic CD on mobile devices for free (and optionally pay $3 each game to remove ads and play them offline), unlike this compilation, especially since it uses the aforementioned mobile remasters of those games. The compilation's $40 price tag is WAY too much for remasters of 30+ year old games.The compilation was originally teased in 2020 following the success of the 2020 Sonic movie, and was shown off on during the Sonic Central presentation made in honor of Sonic's 30th anniversary, before being released for Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S on June 23, 2022, 31 years after the release of the original Sonic game. ![]() The remasters in the compilation are powered by the Retro Engine, developed by Christian "Taxman" Whitehead and used in the previous remasters of Sonic 1, Sonic 2 and Sonic CD, the former two of which were previously exclusive to mobile devices, alongside Sonic Mania. It features remasters of Sonic the Hedgehog (1991), Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (1992), Sonic CD (1993), and Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles (1994). Sonic Origins is a compilation of four classic Sonic games developed by Sonic Team and Headcannon, and published by Sega. Knuckles the Echidna (excluding Sonic CD) "I make 31 years look good." Well, this three-quarters baked abomination of a remaster proved otherwise, Sonic!
