Sonic, the world’s fastest hedgehog, continues his adventures in this fourth installment of the Sonic The Hedgehog™ series. This time, he buddies up with his former enemy, Knuckles the Echidna, in order to defeat the evil Dr. Eggman (a.k.a. Dr. Robotnik). At the end of Sonic The Hedgehog 3, Dr. Eggman’s ultimate orbital weapon for global domination, the Death Egg, was badly damaged in an epic battle with Sonic. The Death Egg, losing power rapidly, hurtled back down to the planet below and crash-landed on the mysterious Angel Island again. Now Sonic and Knuckles must put a stop to Dr. Eggman once and for all before Eggman and his no-goodniks find the secret to Angel Island’s floating power, the Master Emerald. This game features Lock-On Technology, which allows you to play as Knuckles in other Sonic titles available for the Virtual Console, including Sonic The Hedgehog 2 and Sonic The Hedgehog 3, as long as these titles are part of your Virtual Console library.

WOO!

What im looking for is the ability to save. I bought Sonic 1 when SEGA had $5 Genesis games, and i still havent beat it.

Awesome, that's the first time Lock on is included since the Megadrive.

Well I wanted Ogre Battle

But I know this will make enough people happy that I don't really mind

Huh, they can do that!? I bet Smeags will be happy :D

That's pretty cool, actually.

At first I was more interested int he thread because with VC I though Valkyria Chronicles

... You thought Sonic and Knuckles had joined Valkyria Chronicles? xD

Well... Crazier things have happened, I guess... Actually... I'm not sure they have.

Really?

In what other compilation/re-release of Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles can they be combined?

Well, Sega can put it in... as a prize or DLC

Damn it, that's just an awesome idea!

None too compelling when you have Sonic Mega Collection (and an already 100% cleared Knuckles file)
