Why do you hurt me so Sega?

And I suspect that Sonic R (which was on the same disc) was a port of the Win 95/98 version as well. Yukh.

I wouldn't have thought that the PC version would have taken less power than the SCD version, but I could be wrong on that.
And even given that I have the original, I would definitely buy a XBLA version if done right.

CD-I port confirmed?

To be fair, it was one of the more "out there" Sonic games. While the core Sonic mechanics were still there, newish was exploration, the time gimmick, new moves, varying music, outlandish stages, and level designwas a far cry from the spaciness and legroom that 2 & 3 introduced as it expanded clutter layouts from 1.
Doesn't stop it from being awesome, but it is quite different than your normal sonic fanfare.
@Skunky:
There was an ice level? Are we talking about the same game? O_o

I harbour so much love for Sonic CD, that it's a little sad. I wish I'd never gone and sold my Multi-mega and the copy of Sonic CD I had to search high and low for, and then found for a serious bargain. (A tenner!)
I would love for Sega to acknowledge the game more. I loved the whole Past / Future dealio with the stages. And just the little things like the way Sonic spun around when he hit a spring.
And then there's the soundtrack, which was killer! At least the original Japanese / European soundtrack was. I hated what Sega did for the American soundtrack so badly that I refused to buy the Gems collection because the port of Sonic CD featured it.
I just thought... I never did complete Sonic 3! Reason to buy the DS re-release right there! :D

That said, even if it is included it's going to have to be an amazing package for me to justify buying these game again. I've already got the originals on my Genesis, the Sonic Mega Collection for my GameCube/Wii, and Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection for the 360. Admittedly, these are portable, but still...do I really need to spend another $20 or $30 for these games, especially when the last Sonic port for a handheld was so disastrously bad?
I can't imagine I'm alone there. I'm sure this will sell decently, but there are only so many times you can milk the same cow.
On a semi-related note, Sonic 2 is the XBLA Deal of the Week, for $3.

Some of us like to legitimately own the games we play. That's the point.

That doesn't give you the right to pirate it, though.

Hey, you guys think there will be multiplayer with this? I'd love single-cart sharing... Sega... if you're listening...

Yeah, they ported it to PC and the Gems collection on Gamecube (there is also a concept iPhone version). I dunno that it was a completely different engine...it seemed to have larger levels though...but not by much. I guess it would be a different engine in as much as 1,2, and 3 are different engines (though I am sure a lot of the base code is the same).

From what I've found, the Sonic games (well, atleast Sonic 3/Knuckles) displayed in a 320x224 resolution. The DS's screens are only 256x192. This means you're either going to be unable to see as much onscreen as before, or they're going to have to fudge with the graphics to make it fit. I don't see this turning out too well and will probably end up passing on it.

I disagree, all the DS/GBA games made by DIMPS (aka advance 1-3, rush 1 and 2) are, while not triple A games, solid platformers that do the sonic brand some justice.
Then sonic team develops a game on it's own and we get black knight. C'est la vive

Poor homeless Sonic.

Thanks for the cheap cash-ins, Sega, I had no idea you'd go from Nintendo's largest competitor to this.

Also, I think I'd like to see Metal Gear 4 redone entirely by this translator.
