So true

Very rare

Nice! Least you had that

@@RisingSonic17 At* 🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓

Will the physical version still work if I buy it after the digital version is delisted?

@ yea

@@BrianBates-vi7qk thanks for reply! Might buy it physically then.

and they usually do often

@RisingSonic17 Just often?! Then what about now?!!

Some people don't have those same older consoles anymore either because they're not working or just wanted to upgrade. Some don't have PCs and such. Sure, these games have been in other previous consoles, but not everyone has the finances to go on ebay to get a lot of those classics and hell, I wouldn't wanna buy a lot of older games from randoms who juiced up the price and main devs aren't even getting money from it. Accessibility and preservation should be important. Especially when, even some consoles don't have backwards compatibility or support certain games.

They were having such a good year, too, so to get hit with this news is like your girlfriend telling you you're having a baby and you ain't the father

Damn. But I also wouldn't be surprised if copyright was a reason for games like Crazy Taxi and JSR

Yeah it's a terrible situation

What profit would they even make from just removing all of their games? Wouldn't you want people to still buy your older games? That would still give them money

I think that's insane a little bit. Those games are super old now. Those should be seen as starting grounds and then see how you evolved after all these years

Reading this only made me more depressed.

Sonic Origins will have the gamegear games removed? Since when did they say that? The plus DLC code expires in over a decade. That wouldn't make sense.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a nee collection

If you wanna hold back from buying new games, I don't blame you.

Yeah, but still. Sometimes it's nice to not always depend on emulation

Oh yeah... Ubisoft is definitely up there as the worst way to do it. Lol.

Major bummer.

You never know sometimes. Nintendo certainly doesn't always do it right. Can't blame me for expecting SEGA is gonna follow in their footsteps

I hope that's the case.

thank you. thank you.

I can agree with this.

Nintendo definitely be doing this too randomly

Capcom, Konami, Capcom bandaid square Enix etc does it too.

@@INFERNO95 You said Capcom twice.

But like why can't we just have both? What's stopping them from allowing us to just have both?

It is logical to assume that people would pay 80-120$ for one microconsole than 10-25$ for one game

@azogdefiler25 It depends because porting a lot of games together can lead to some inconsistent emulating

I hope that if they will make a Dreamcast mini, they will finally rerelease Sonic Shuffle along with it.

On Steam, you can buy a bundle with 6 Dreamcast games Sonic Adventure, SEGA Bass Fishing, Crazy Taxi, Space Channel 5 Part 2, Jet Set Radio, and Nights

@@RisingSonic17also Sonic adventure 1 and 2

@ultimat3lifeform only Adventure 1 was part of that collection.

@@RisingSonic17 on steam I saw adventure 2 as part of the bundle but eh don’t want to get into a argument about it

@ultimat3lifeform it probably is and I probably forgot since I just bought it separately.

When It can be most convenient to em💀

Yeah. I stated this in terms of why Crazy Taxi and Jet Set Radio are on that list, but even I still don't agree with it. Since those games are how those IPs got started to begin with. I just think it's silly to remove these old games for those interested in wanting to try them the "legal" way.

Apple tv 4k

Or they want to move their old games to Gamivo. After the delisting of the original non-remastered classic Sonic games, SEGA moved Sonic 1 to Gamivo as a Steam digital key. There's a chance SEGA may do the same with the other classics.

@ThunderTheYellowJolteon I didn't even know that was a thing. Interesting

​@@RisingSonic17 I just discovered it from a video called "RTX 3070 vs RX 6700 XT - Which is Better in New Games?" made by this user called Testing Games. I urge ANY person to buy the old SEGA games from Gamivo instead of Steam, since SEGA obviously wants their games to be preserved better with Gamivo and Steam keys.

If there was any chance to get those games, you need to get them now then.

@@RisingSonic17 I should

@@Nights-gh2hn pirated versions of the pc ports also work and I believe they even have some improvement mods and fixes on there as well.

I'm lucky to have those still. They'll be valuable

While I like Sonic Origins, I DO know when others are right, and that statement of being inferior to the actual classics is totally true, but as you said, is much better than the GTA Trilogy, still that doesn't excuse to prevent other people playing the older versions (like in my case for example, I still find myself playing the original Sonic 3... & Knuckles more than the Origins versions... especially if I don't want to play as Amy).

I miss the time attack mode for the special stages in Sonic CD. Why the Sonic Origins version of Sonic CD doesn't have that?! Also MJ Sonic 3 music is superior to whatever the new songs in Origins for Sonic 3 are.

@@sonicmaiden2871 Funny enough, the Origins songs are actually from one of the Sonic 3 Prototypes/PC Sonic & Knuckles Collection, yeah, is baffling that unless people go to "questionable" methods to play the old versions, they are forced to use the re-releases (which usually are worse than the originals, in this case it could have been worse as is still good enough to not fully suck, but still), sure, the PC version of Origins can be modded to fix some of that stuff to some extent (like having limited lives in both normal and mirror anniversary modes which are in widescreen AND in Sonic 3 the MJ songs in the 3 zones that are featured) but it would take time to make them feel very close to the classics (I doubt they can do a 1 to 1 recreation)..

@@PikangsFutaba true and I know. Sadly I have the ps5 version so I can't mod that but I also have sonic mega collection on ps2 as well so I have a Sonic 3 version with the og music as well. Mega Collection is also on PC so you could pirate that since it's technically abandonware (aka i doubt Sega will ever rerelease that collection with the same name and that's what it makes it abandonware). I heard the best way to play Sonic 3 is Sonic 3 air which does require the rom file. That is a nice unofficial way to play it since it has lots of customisation options and plenty of mods released for it as well. Bit yeah thankfully we have plenty of options to play sonic 3 at least.

@@sonicmaiden2871 Oh yeah, A.I.R. , I'm lucky that I was able to get the delisted rom file from steam and I can play that version of Sonic 3 (and recently it got a mod to add Amy with her Origins/Superstars moves... and extras if you want to enable that while keeping the original physics, also giving the option for both the Prototype/Origins and good old classic MJ's tunes for the 3 Sonic 3 zones (let's be honest, unless if it's for curiosity or for a change, the MJ's tunes are what most players are going to use because obvious reasons)... oh, and also for good measure adding to Sky Sanctuary Zone in Sonic's route the Sonic 1 and 2 boss themes for the throwback boss fights), funny that I have the option to use GCN vanilla Mega Collection, Ps2 Mega Collection Plus, I still have both Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles to combine them in the full experience, A.I.R., the official emulation on Steam (that I got before it was delisted due to Origins release) and Origins, of all those choices, I go A.I.R., then any OG version related methods like Sonic Mega Collection and the actual Sega Genesis carts (special mention to the Sonic 3 Complete hack... which probably inspired A.I.R. , only difference is that if you have an Everdrive, that's the closest thing to A.I.R. you can have on an actual Sega Genesis or Emulators like Genesis Plus GX on Wii), and finally Origins (yup, again, the kinda worst way to play it... but compared to other non-emulated re-releases is still a good experience, especially if you have the PC version to axe the Prototype tunes in favor of MJ's tunes, while this is specific for Sonic 3, in general, while it's not a 1 to 1 experience for all 4 games, we have to admit they really did their best to make the games behave as close as possible to the original deal, sure, they failed in the long run, but they made sure the games worked almost 100%... I say that because there's a collection crash bug in Sonic 3 if you use the sound test code to remove the "& Knuckles" legends in Sonic 3 and enter the Slot Machine bonus stage, as soon as the game is about to make the bonus appear, the collection dies on you and it closes itself, on consoles you get the error message of course).

SEGA doesn't give two fucks if you emulate their old games. They just ignore emulators like if they're non-existent. :)

Worth every penny. Very comfortable too.

I actually didn’t know that. Are the SEGA Genesis Clsssics and Dreamcast Collection on there at all?

You can keep games on Steam as well, using Steam keys or just buying games that don't have DRM in them.

Delisting always sucks

Just get Paramount or BANDI NAMCO Entertainment to buy SEGA and "uncensor" whatever.
