A Blast Processing from the past.

Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2017

Platform For Display: Nintendo SwitchVerified Purchase

I never had a Sega Genesis growing up, I was born at the end of that generation of gaming and had my first game in experience on consoles like the PlayStation and the N64. But I remember playing the Sonic Advanced gba games, and I did play the Genesis classics later on. Out of all the Sonic games I had played up to this point Sonic CD had always been a personal favorite.

,As a kid I was a pretty big Sonic fan, if I had been born a few years earlier I would have picked Genesis over SNES.

That out of the way let me say that this game is nothing short of fantastic. I adore this game, the pixel art is beautiful, and the game runs smooth. Sonic is so fast, and the controls are so tight. It's just nothing short of amazing. Christian Whitehead has really out done themselves here. This feels like the perfect Sonic game for anyone who missed the old 2D goodness of the 16 bit era. Truthfully I was actually more excited for this game than Forces (not that I'm not excited for that, getting SF for Switch on launch) and this game was worth the wait.

Graphics 10/10: perfectly recaptures the magic of the Genesis era, and makes it look even better.

Gameplay 10/10: Controls are responsive and Sonic is fast as ever.

Soundtrack 10/10: Downright amazing. The remixes on this are very pleasant to the ears, and the new tracks belong as well.

In conclusion this game feels like a long overdue love letter to any Sonic fan who longs for a simpler time. If your a fan of old school Sonic buy this game you wont regret it.

Now let me go over the collection we have here. The statue is very nice, it doesn't feel cheap, but it doesn't feel overly expensive. I do need to get some batteries for it at some point so I can hear that go old SEEGAA whenever I want to.

The Genesis cartage looks realistic and is also pretty cool. Wish I could pop it into the Genesis that the statue stands on. And the ring inside is really sweet as well. The card has some nice artwork and feels nice.

If your a fan of Sonic and a collector this is a nice set. If your just a fan or don't want to pay 60+ dollars you can buy the game for 20 dollars which is worth it.

Sonic is Back! Faster & More Fun than Ever Before!

Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2017

Platform For Display: Nintendo SwitchVerified Purchase

I haven't really enjoyed a Sonic game since Sonic Adventure 2 for the GameCube, and never liked it as much as I did the 2D classics from the Genesis. This is the Sonic game that fans have been waiting for! Not only is the game a load of fun, but with this collector's edition you get some very nice physical items. The Sonic statue that comes with this Collector's Edition, is beautiful! The statue is a must have for Sonic fans, and the gold ring hidden within a fake Sega Genesis Sonic Mania cartridge is awesome as well.

Quick Review

Pros:
- Game downloaded very quick from the Nintendo E-Shop
- Collector's Edition came packed safely and no damage to the box
- The Sonic Statue is flawless, it looks amazing and is big!
- The gold ring is a really cool extra for Sonic fans
- The game has beautiful graphics
- Soundtrack for this game is catchy and has some classic Sonic songs
- Boss battles might be the best in the entire history of Sonic
- Level design is fantastic and full of secrets
- Play as 1 of 3 characters
- 2 Player Vs Mode
- Time Challenge Mode
- Extras to unlock
- The opening animation

Cons:

- I wish the statue came with 2 AA batteries which are required for it to work

So the pros easily destroy the cons! That is the only con I could think of after spending several hours with this game and collector's edition box. If your a Sonic fan than you will want this game and collector's edition! Sonic is back and this game will remind everyone just how fun a Sonic game can be.

The best Genesis game ever

Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2017

Platform For Display: Nintendo SwitchVerified Purchase

Level design is awesome, they did a great job remixing old stages and adding new ones. The feel is perfect, it builds on the feel of the old games without breaking it.

The look and sound is great too. The pixel look is never broken (with authentic-looking sprite rotation and everything) but it feels upgraded, animations have way more frames so things look super smooth. The sound design is awesome here too, they found just the right blend of modern sound without taking away from the Genesis feel. Super nerds will be able to tell that it's a step above the Genesis's synthesis, but it doesn't get away from the feel of old games. Game music has better stereo separation and overall seems to sparkle a bit more, it benefits more than you'd think to play on a nice sound system, and audio fans will really like that. A lot of care was put into making it "classic but better."

The statue and collectors' edition pieces aren't world class in terms of quality, but at this price I think it's fair. The 'pins' on the Genesis cartridge are a sticker that seems like it'd come off of mine fairly easily. The paintwork on the Sonic figure isn't the best, but it works. The switches on the Genesis part don't feel so good though, I probably won't flip them too much as I'm not sure how well they'll hold up. The whole thing is still a cool display though, and it's definitely worth it at $70.

I haven't played too far into it yet, but this is the first good Sonic game in at least 15 years. Anybody should get it.

Looking for me that I actually got Prime to get this a discount. But for me for someone who is a big Sega fan and love Sonic. Who grew up with Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2 along with Sonic 3 with knuckles I love Sonic. Whether it's 2D or 3D. I Miss The Child Garden from the adventure days which now seems to be a forgotten and the new games. It was a time-waster but I still loved it. As far as the game the game is great. There's a few hiccups there here and there but coming from a small development team they did a wonderful job on the game. However as far what comes with this package I don't think it's worth the price. You get a statue you get a downloadable to the game which I believe should have been physical. I rather pay more money for I physical copy then get this. Hopefully they end up adding a physical copy to the future but I guess we'll wait and see for that.

Platform For Display: Nintendo SwitchVerified Purchase

Esta es la primera compra que hice de un juego edición de colectores o edición especial y es perfecto. Su caja es dura y resistente, ideal para los que no tiran ni el empaque, y es principalmente para eso. La estatua tiene mucho detalle e incluso me fascinó el audio que tiene incluido que es el clásico sonido "SEGA". La tarjeta es metálica completamente y con un diseño bueno, recomiendo mantenerla guardada en un lugar seguro y no en una cartera en caso de extraviarse. Y mi cosa favorita pero no más importante que lo demás es el anillo que viene dentro del cartucho, se ve muy bien y muy brilloso, y te mantendrá a salvo de cualquier golpe inesperado :) . Y el juego ni se diga, es perfecto y totalmente leal a los primeros años de Sonic. Ideal para un jugador que le gusta lo retro.

American code! (Some additional steps required)

It was an American code!
It's fairly easy to access the American E-Shop to redeem it - albeit a little tedious - but the product itself is great, and beyond that I've had no issues.

「¡Hagamos a Sonic grande otra vez!」

Reviewed in Mexico on September 28, 2017

Platform For Display: Nintendo SwitchVerified Purchase

¡Simplemente excelente!: Un producto hecho de fans para fans lleno de pequeños detalles que lo hacen magnífico acompañado, además, de estos coleccionables que prácticamente son de museo.
He leido que otros usuarios recibieron su caja dañada, algo que afortunadamente no pasó conmigo; mi única queja, sin embargo, -y que ciertamente no me lo esperaba...- es que el juego como tal viene como código de descarga para la consola. En lo personal, pubiese preferido una copia física del mismo, tal y como pasó con la edición especial de Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
