How Many Ports of Sonic 1 (1991) Exist? - Sonic The Hedgehog Release History

Sonic The Hedgehog is one of the most iconic games of all time, but it's also one of the most rereleased games of all time! In this video, I go over nearly every port of the game, seeing how many times SEGA has repackaged and rereleased it. This is the rerelease history of Sonic The Hedgehog!
In this video, I go over all of the releases on the SEGA Genesis, Sonic Jam, the many mobile phone ports, and even some bootleg and unreleased ones too! Does Somari sound familiar? It will after this video!
Thank you for watching!

11:05 Slight correction, the 3DS version technically is emulated and the emulator they built supports the 3DS's 3D function. I know as I've taken apart the emulator myself and swapped out the internal ROM to play Sonic 3 Complete on my 3DS a few years ago.

[@Fattydeposit]

The lines are blurred between emulation and port with those M2 3D remasters. The emulator they built - the 'Gigadrive' - does indeed run Mega Drive ROMs but every game in the series was disassembled and completely rebuilt in order for 3D values to be assigned to graphic & sprite layers. They're both emulated and enhanced ports simultaneously.

actually, there WAS a Sega Smash Pack Vol. 2 ... ... it was for PC. Seriously, that was my first time playing Kid CHameleon and Comix Zone. and Shining Force.

[@FoxMan_FF]

Thanks for covering all the different versions of Somari! I was worried you weren't going to talk about them- they're really neat stuff. The one featuring Hummer Team's mascot in particular is interesting as it's only appeared on their Famiclone plug and play consoles, and there hasn't been any evidence of a physical cartridge, if I recall correctly.

[@PatMacYT]

You're right! I thought that was so interesting, I wonder where the members of Hummer Team are nowadays. Maybe I'll cover more of their stuff someday. I also appreciated how the cart of the Doraemon game says "Socat", as in the Somari of cats.

[@FoxMan_FF]

If you do talk about Hummer Team again, definitely look into their demake of Super Mario World. Sure, it's been talked about to death at this point, but there's no denying it's technically impressive for the Famicom- it did things that Miyamoto claimed could never be done on the system, like riding Yoshi.

[@melaniemaldonado2198]

[@rosesske2551]

mrmimeisfunny Like that recent one where a McDonald’s employee figured out how to get Doom to play on the cash machine.

[@sloppynyuszi]

I think official will be Sonic, unofficial will be Doom. Sonic 1 is available on Game Cube, Dreamcast, PS2, PSP, DS, Wii, 3DS, Java mobile phones, and there aren’t official Doom ports on those. I think the SNES, 32X, Jaguar, 3DO and Playstation are the only systems Doom exists on that doesn’t have Official Sonic.

[@CallingSkoot]

The "Japanese" version of Sonic 1 (A.K.A Rev 1) is actually just worldwide, the US and Europe got the updated version in later production lines. It's only known as the Japanese version because that was what Japan always had since they got a late release. Still have yet to find an American copy of Rev 1 Sonic 1 though. Also, it didn't "patch" the spike "bug" because the way spikes worked in Sonic 1 was intentional, but they changed it in later games. Although in Sonic Mega Collection the Sonic 1 ROM did get modified to change the behavior of the spikes to how they do now.

[@VOAN]

I agree man, kinda disappointed he talks about the hacks and the AtGames stuff but refuse to talk about the only single port that SonicTeam made that's bad. The game is not like CD-i Zelda and Mario games where those aren't made by the real game developer, those were truly trash but Sonic Genesis was not made by trash studio like Philips, Sonic Genesis was made and ported by the same team that made the original Sonic and they still failed. That's like if Nintendo ported SMB3 to GBA and failed which they didn't or if Capcom ported Super Street Fighter II Turbo to GBA and failed which they too didn't.

The spike bug is still in the Japanese version of sonic 1, it was always intended behavior which wasn't corrected until sonic mega collection. though the Japanese version of sonic 1 contains a hidden credits scene containing the actual names of the developers

[@DekRollins]

That Somari boxart at 16:08 actually has it's background elements based directly on the JP art for Sonic 2. And the Japanese release of Sonic 1 definitely still has the spike glitch, as that wasn't removed until Sonic Mega Collection. Great video by the way, lots of cool info here. Now I know that the number of times Sonic 1 has been rereleased is even more absurd than I thought, haha. I love the effort and research you put into your videos, despite any goofs or oversights that might happen, and you never cease to entertain either. Keep up the good work! As far as the "definitive" version of the game goes, I actually don't consider the Taxman version to be in the running. As many technical improvements as there are, I think forcing the widescreen aspect ratio hurts the game. A good example is the Green Hill boss, where the wider aspect ratio means the platforms are moved further apart, making it more difficult to move between them in one jump. I also don't like that you no longer have the ability to cheap shot Eggman before he's ready, since it hinders the use of the invincibility monitor in the tree.

All this before the release of the Sonic the Hedgehog movie so... definitely will be more releases to come and I never ever tire of seeing Sonic 1 it's an epic and timeless work of art

[@EpicMarioPlayer]

17:57 - Street Fighter 2 alone has more rereleases than probably every other game combined.

[@ahok1937]

[@exonerative]

You didn't talk about Sonic Genesis on GBA? What a bummer! *You put it in the thumbnail!* Do a video about it!

[@joshmartimez2235]

Nice. I love the Sonic games on Genesis. Sonic 2 was the first Sonic game i ever played in 1992. Good job on tbis video.

[@random_gamer_guy82]

[@aze_9]

[@EarlTheGamerRevived]

[@yagzbaransonmez3532]

6:07 man i remember playing sonic 2 on my PSP. It is still on the shelf but the console is dead.

[@veralanngaming]

The Sonic Genesis one made me laugh. Well played

[@jdb2002]

What console has Sonic been on? Yes

[@jensenpedigo4316]

All

[@cosmickirbster7996]

Bold of you to assume I am not already familiar with Sonari.

[@Possibility-Productions]

I love your sonic videos and your videos

[@SEGAbits]

Probably already pointed out, but the Sonic 1&2 Whitehead remasters are playable on Apple TV with controller support. Great video!

[@asajokeforearlyhalloweensa3244]

1:58 "Knuckles in China land" 💀💀💀

[@Itz_YoshiMelon]

“The sonic 1 and 2 whitehead ports aren’t on any consoles or PCs yet, the reason is unknown” That aged well lmao

[@clonefighter1996]

Thank _Team Forever_ for that! No, really. S1 forever and S2 Absolute are amazing

[@Itz_YoshiMelon]

@@clonefighter1996 I was talking about that and sonic origins

[@shadicTPZ]

[@arandommodderandrandomgame8724]

Sonic + Mario = 15:25

[@emilyapricot1313]

I've played a lot of these. Whenever I get a new System, Genesis Sonic games are a must own.

[@CZPC]

I thought the Ouya was a fever dream I had. I hate you for proving me wrong.
