What did you think of this great innovation?

>>	Anonymous Wed Sep 30 22:01:38 2015 No.2712198 You mean splitting games in half to double profits? The movie industry sure appreciates it, how they do that with the finale of every novel-based series now.

>>	Anonymous Wed Sep 30 22:14:27 2015 No.2712212 this is pretty much hardware DLC. But at least the game is damn good

>>	Anonymous Wed Sep 30 22:21:22 2015 No.2712226 The most interesting thing about it is the second rom for sonic2

I thought I was ripped off, specially when I went to the level select screen for sonic 3 and found that some of the levels I was supposed to get with sonic 3 were only available if I bought a whole other game.

This was bullshit, and the beginning of the decline of the Sonic franchise.

All this aside, however, both games together make what I believe to be the greatest Sonic game ever made to this day.

Also fuck you SEGA, you lazy assholes, the least you could have done is take the levels off the level select screen so we didn't know we were being ripped off.

>>	Anonymous Wed Sep 30 22:56:51 2015 No.2712278 >>2712198 If it were one game, it would have been an enormous $100 cartridge.

>>	Anonymous Wed Sep 30 23:59:32 2015 No.2712393 >>2712212 >lol DLC But the first cartridge is physically situated as an add-on to the second game.

>>	Anonymous Thu Oct 1 00:04:19 2015 No.2712406 >>2712278 Kinda like Virtua Racer or PSIV?

>>	Anonymous Thu Oct 1 00:21:12 2015 No.2712436 I heard that S&K sold more copies than Sonic 3.

>>	Anonymous Thu Oct 1 00:32:11 2015 No.2712458 >>2712236 uhh what? i've never seen mushoom valley or sandopolis on that screen before

>>	Anonymous Thu Oct 1 00:57:13 2015 No.2712495 >>2712436 Cuz you could play as badass knuckles

>>	Anonymous Thu Oct 1 03:45:23 2015 No.2712646 >>2712278 If it was one game, they wouldn't just streamlined it and cut out unnecessary shit in order to get it down to one cartridge. Which is exactly what they did with Sonic 2.

That's what I'm saying

Some zones just seem to drag on, particularly Marble Garden, I feel it could have been shorter

Launch base could have been cut down a bit too

They focused so much in making big long zones when Sonic 2 had hit a sweet spot where you could go to a new zone quickly and avoid them dragging on

>>	Anonymous Thu Oct 1 03:57:55 2015 No.2712661 >>2712393 But he didn't say it was DLC he said it was basically a hardware version of DLC ie serving the same function to a game then as DLC does today, learn to fucking read tbh.

This is what I don't understand about S3&Kfags. The two games on their own are great, but still fail to reach the perfection of Sonic 2, mash them together and it's an arduous and bloated chore.

The whole "lock-on" technology is a fantastic concept though and too bad it wasn't utilised earlier, we might have seen some interesting shit released.

>>	Anonymous Thu Oct 1 19:44:59 2015 No.2713805 >>2712194 Speaking of Sonic 3 and Knuckles, where can i buy cheap Sonic & Knuckles \|EUR\|USA\|JAP\| and Sonic 3 US or Jap version?

>>	Anonymous Thu Oct 1 19:50:39 2015 No.2713819 >>2713805 Anywhere.

>>	Anonymous Thu Oct 1 19:51:24 2015 No.2713821 >>2713805 Sonic 3 is like $10 everywhere but the &K cart costs a bit more.

>>	Anonymous Thu Oct 1 19:52:15 2015 No.2713825 >>2712194 i thought it was the shit

>>	Anonymous Thu Oct 1 20:39:33 2015 No.2713916 >>2712406 In a sense, yeah.
