Revision as of 15:58, 6 March 2010

Sonic Classic Collection is a upcoming Nintendo DS compilation featuring several Mega Drive/Genesis Sonic games. The ability to save mid-game and resume from that point has been added.

The compilation was confirmed to be in development November 11th of 2009 when the compilation was listed, along with the included game list, on the bbfc website.[1] On November 18th Nintendo of Australia posted a news article which revealed the compilation was to be released on the Nintendo DS.[2]

Game List

Sonic the Hedgehog
Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Sonic the Hedgehog 3
Sonic & Knuckles
Knuckles in Sonic 2
Sonic 3 & Knuckles (listed as Knuckles in Sonic 3 in the collection)

Emulation

Sonic Classic Collection uses a modified version of jEnesisDS by Stephan Dittrich, who now works for SEGA and was the lead DS programmer of this game. The ROMs used in this game were modified to not show features that the DS couldn't use, such as 2 Player mode in Sonic 2 and Sonic 3, as well as other things such as Sonic 2's options screen and Level Select. The ROMs used also had some sort of "lock" which restricted the ROMs to only play using jEnesisDS.

Extras

An art gallery featuring 30 Sonic pictures previously seen in Sonic Jam and Sonic Gems Collection, and a credits screen are the only extras that appeared in the final game. The following were confirmed by the Australian Ratings Board, but never appeared in the final:

Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood (VIDEO)
