Some fans think that Knuckles’ Chaotix is a forgotten gem from its time and deserves a proper remaster as well.
That’ll be in the ultra mega deluxe version for an extra $50

A fan expresses his love for SEGA games however he thinks that the game company should release just one version of the Sonic games with everything included. They also talk about affordability from the fan’s perspective.
SEGA I love you. You are my favorite game company of all time, but I have to agree with the comments here. Get rid of all these different versions of the game and just release one with everything in included. Trust me, your target audience can afford it.

This fan is in particular annoyed with a rumor about how most of the modes in the game are locked behind paid DLCs. They are also annoyed with the fact that the developers are not providing the original music for Sonic 3 and Knuckles.

Just learned that some features and modes are locked behind paid DLC. This is BAD! The only thing that would be understandable is if you offered the original music for Sonic 3 and Knuckles because you'd have to pay royalties, but you're not even offering that! 👎

Color me sceptical but I want to see someone play this first before buying this. The originals were amazing and lets be honest the latest sonic games were not….
