The Definitive Way to Play Sonic 3 (And More)

For those of you wanting me answers as to why I didn't talk about the Sonic 3 prototype, and other music-related questions, I posted a second video -- though it's more of a podcast. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXXWt7BUFsU

Sonic 1&2 on Mobile only:
“Let me out, let me out!

Sonic 3 on Steam only:
“Let me in, let me in!”

Man, I could listen to you talk about Sonic's history for hours even though I know most of this already. You're just a chill, nice dude.

"I don't like to talk about piracy."

spends ten minutes in detail on how and what to do

18:57 - 19:14 Welp, that's it. You've earned my subscription right here. So many channels are scared to talk about emulation, and when they do, it is mostly "DON'T! EMULATION IZ BAD!" Glad to see you're practical instead of moralist.

Also, I just came from your Definitive SADX video, and I'm only halfway through this one, but I can already tell the quality of your content is top notch. Keep doing your thing, man, we need more talented content creators like you in the Sonic community. I hope your channel blows up soon, you deserve it!

GUYS CYBERSHELL'S BACK-
oh nevermind

24:28 - I just want to make a note here that these uncompressed roms are all roms that can run in an emulator of your own choosing.

"You can buy Sonic 3 on Steam right now"

Oh how this video did not age well...

This is the first video I've seen from your channel and the thing that stands out greatly to me is the fantastic production value in your videos. It's so professional and clean.

This was a wonderful breakdown, no detail spared. These videos are great, thanks so much.

It doesn't make sense for him to be unsatisfied with the sega genesis hardware at all.

He had already released the Moonwalking game for the Genesis four years prior and also had a Master System version of the game.

He most likely already knew what the genesis was and wasn't capable and was ok with it enough to release a game with him as protagonist and with his musics as soundtrack for the game.

The statement that he didn't like the genesis sound capabilities was probably a PR movement in the attempts to save face. He was already being bashed left and right. They probably just wanted to avoid giving more attention to the accusations.

So, it's not impossible that he didn't like the sound of the genesis but it is mostly unlikely and I would dare say it's a bit naive to truly believe it.

A dream would be the widescreen ports of 1, 2 and 3 to Steam as a collection in one purchase.

"some of the most ported games of all time"


[laughs in Lemmings]

I mean, they could always use the music from the prototype.

Sonic 3 is the magnum opus of the Genesis. Before Sonic Mania, almost every classic sonic fan would rate it as their favorite.

Fun fact: You can actually play as Knuckles and Tails in the Sonic 2 retro engine remaster as well. If you manage to access the sound test, level select, by entering in 00, 00, 00, 00, you can access an advanced options menu with some of the options from the Sonic 1 remaster, and some entirely new ones. Among these new ones? The ability to play as Knuckles and Tails.

Great content, dude. Thoroughly researched and highly produced!

"Genesis has a horrible sound chip for voices"

For Apple device owners, You can also play the Retro Engine Versions of CD, 1 & 2 on Apple TV. Especially good since tvOS 13 now supports Xbox One & PlayStation 4 controllers (like iOS 13)

Edit: Not saying you have to buy one, just letting people who happen to have Apple TV’s know this is another way of playing these.

the Sonic Mega Collection and Sonic Gems Collection on the GameCube have every Genesis and nearly every Game Gear Sonic game, so it hurts that they're not doing that anymore :/
