About fucking time! Sadly so far this is the only major "new" addition, as it looked like M2 were looking into including cut content:
Guess it didn't pan out?
That's presumably the reason, yes. Sega stopped re-releasing the game around the time MJ died (roughly). Seems like they prefer to pretend it doesn't exist now.Is there some reason why Sonic 3 and Knuckles isn't expected at all? Is it the Micheal Jackson music?
That's a shame. It's such a great game, and was insanely ambitious for its time. Would be a huge loss if they can't resolve this going forwards.That's presumably the reason, yes. Sega stopped re-releasing the game around the time MJ died (roughly). Seems like they prefer to pretend it doesn't exist now.
I mean, an M2 port will always be appreciated, but why does Sega continue to refuse to release the Christian Whitehead ports of Sonic 1 & 2 to console/handheld?
For me this is the biggest bullshit.I mean, an M2 port will always be appreciated, but why does Sega continue to deny us the Christian Whitehead ports of Sonic 1 & 2 to console/handheld?
They do have an alternate soundtrack though and even readymade MD mixed versions found on protos. I'm hopeful a potential Wave 2 of Sega Ages will also include a S3K with that if need be.That's presumably the reason, yes. Sega stopped re-releasing the game around the time MJ died (roughly). Seems like they prefer to pretend it doesn't exist now.
I don't think anyone is discounting M2. They do amazing work with porting and remastering old games. It just seems like all the work they've done with Sonic 1 & 2 are unnecessary when we already have definitive versions of these games on iOS/Android.Kinda sad to see so many people asking for Taxman's versions incessantly. M2 versions are great on their own right, aiming for accuracy with a few QoL extras.
Personally, I like them more than Taxman's and can't wait to double dip on the game (I have it on 3ds too)

That would be worth a lot more than 20 dollars.I just don't understand why they don't port the Taxman remakes, they're essentially perfect and actually BETTER than the original releases... I'd honestly pay $20~ for Taxman's Sonic 1, 2, 3&K, and CD on a Switch cart.
I'd argue they're not the definitive versions yet because they aren't off mobile. No offense to mobile gaming, I love lots of mobile games, but taxman's Sonic 1 & 2 should get a chance to exist outside of iOS and Android.These statements contradict themselves
This is like saying that because the PS2 version of Virtua Racing exists, there's no need for the Sega Ages version of Virtua Racing to exist, or OutRun when the 3DS version exists.
Just restrict your jumps to when he lands and lowers his body. Takes longer but much safer, Sonic or Knuckles.I remember Knuckles in Sonic 2 being an awful experience due to the final boss. Knuckles jumps slightly lower than Sonic so you always get hit by the spikey hands of the boss. With Sonic you can do it with the right timing but with Knuckles it's much harder. Knuckles didn't add much to Sonic 2 in general. Disappointing.
I'm pretty sure no MJ music actually made it into the game, so that shouldn't be the issueYay! Can't wait!
Is there some reason why Sonic 3 and Knuckles isn't expected at all? Is it the Micheal Jackson music?
I really want Sega Ages versions of Phantasy Star 2, 3 and 4. I've got the Sega Ages version of the Master System original in my backlog.This is actually neat and I hope upcoming Sega Ages releases include such drastic changes (Still need Phantasy Star 2).
The Whitehead releases are superior, but they continue to get different developers to start from scratch.
It's absolutely ludicrous how many various versions of Sonic 1 and 2 there are. The Whitehead releases are superior, but they continue to get different developers to start from scratch. I don't get it. Port the mobile versions, you goons.
Actually they need to do Puyo Puyo 2 and thats it, we dont need more Columns lol.
The report mentions "more actions" so I don't think Tails flying on command and the drop dash are out of the question.
You are certainly right about that. These impressions are me as a kid, haha. Haven't played Knuckles in Sonic 2 since probably 1994. I never really thought he was a worthwhile addition in the other parts of the game either.Just restrict your jumps to when he lands and lowers his body. Takes longer but much safer, Sonic or Knuckles.
Wouldn't what you just said in turn be disrespectful to Taxman and Stealth's work on the iOS/Android versions of Sonic 1 & 2?These statements contradict themselves
This is like saying that because the PS2 version of Virtua Racing exists, there's no need for the Sega Ages version of Virtua Racing to exist, or OutRun when the 3DS version exists.
It honestly feels disrespectful to M2's work
Yay! Can't wait!

I've seen people not like that the Taxman versions have widescreen. I see widescreen as a net positive for the games personally but hey, opinions.I would like to hear why you prefer M2's versions, which usually only have a few modest enhancements, over the Taxman versions, which are widely beloved?
