Considering how this is an emulation, i doubt they could include Knuckles Chaotix. It requires a pretty decent computer to run under emulation. At least, far faster than what the DS can handle. Actually, that game has never been remade, ported, or put in an official emulator to this day. As for Sonic Advance, why? Either way, it's milking one franchise or another. And you can't still play those if you have a DS Phat or Lite.

Kega Fusion for PC plays Knuckles Chaotix just fine. Just sayin'
I know, i said officially. 32x was the only system it was ever made for. And Fusion requires a PC somewhere near 1ghz to play Knuckles Chaotix well enough. Even that wasn't enough for my old Pentium 3 laptop sometimes, as it lagged. I'm saying DS probably couldn't handle an emulated version. Port though...

Kind of a letdown that they couldn't put Chaotix in Gems Collection either, maybe even ps2/gc/xbox couldn't handle it or some stupid shit... Oh well, enjoying it in Fusion.

Another problem is that development time and budget are always much more limited for handhelds. They're forced to find the cheapest and quickest ways to put games on handhelds. All the companies do this......some just manage their time and resources better than others.

To be honest, I don't think SCC would have been as good if they would have tried to port the code instead of just emulating it. Everyone would have complained about SCC no matter how it came out.

I'm enjoying SCC for what it is. The last time I really played these games was way back when they were new in stores. It's nice to have an on-the-go version, even if it's not 100% perfect. It's still fun to play.

yo dawg i heard you like emulators, so i put an emulator in your NDS game so you can emulate Sonic the Hedgehog on your NDS




thats pretty much all this is. one emulator.

It's an emulator that's for retail. Sega didn't make the game to compete with JenesisDS. They made the game to give Sonic games to consumers, aka people who buy games, aka people who don't use flashcarts, aka people who don't use emulators. People seem to forget that and bash it for it.

My full review is here. For those who don't want to read...

- The game is aimed at bringing older Sonic titles to a newer generation who didn't experience Sonic, not to please Sonic purists.
- A good way to bring Sonic on-the-go
- If you have a better method of playing these games, whether it be on their native systems, other platforms (like Sega Genesis Collection for the PSP which has great emulations of Sonic 1 and 2 or buying them through the Virtual Console), then you should stick to that. If the DS is your sole platform or your only portable platform and you want to play these games, this is a good choice.
- Not perfect emulations, but the games still keep high framerate most of the time and are still more than decent emulations.
- As long as the games are playable, who gives two shits about how they're playable? People bitch about Sega being lazy by outsourcing to JenesisDS and other crap like that, but in the process forget that these games play more than fine and that the games are still great.
- Overall, 8/10.
