Poll: 46% Think $99 Sonic Compilation Worth it Only with Major Enhancements

It Will be Bought, But there Better be Big Benefits
The results of the latest TSSZ News @Issue poll indicate that, after so many re-releases of classic Sonic fare, there remains a market for yet another compilation–as long as it’s souped up.
The poll, which had a sampling of 575 voters, asked if any $99 Sonic compilation would be worth it. It was a question concocted originally by a memo leak that detailed conversations between Sega and Sony to provide just that, and it came back to pass when ratings surfaced for what turned out to be Sonic Classic Collection for the DS.
The poll showed 46% thought it would be worth it, but only if major enhancements were added to the game. Beyond that, 37 percent outright said no. Only ten percent said yes, and seven percent were unsure.
A new poll is now available for you to vote on.

As much as I love the old series – SEGA can only slap a new bumper sticker on them so many times. \D Seriously, the amount of times they have been released is ridiculous.
those games are awsome every single day people plays them or buy them, that’s how much people love SEGA and SONIC THE HEDGEHOG…
SEGA should relauch the Sonic Adventure series for the Xbox360º or for XBLA that would be AMAZINGLY AWSOME!!!!
SEEEEEEEEEEGGGGGGGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
While it’s true that SEGA is becoming notorious for rereleasing the old Sonic games countless times, only 2 game discs are actually worth owning for the definitive old school Sonic experience, Mega and Gems Collection. The other releases were either stand alone titles, like individual Sonic games on the Virtual Console and Xbox Live, or were packaged with other SEGA compilations.
It wouldn’t hurt to get one more compilation that really makes Sonic SONIC. You know, everything Gems and Mega had together into one disc plus a batch of other Sonic games that have yet to appear in a rerelease such as Knuckles Chaotix. Of course, even with all of that, it would hardly make it appropriate for the $99 budget, especially since its a compilation game. Only thing I can imagine to make it appropriate for shelling out $99 is some major enhancements as well as releasing a collectible figure, like that $100 classic Sonic model.
I’m not on TSS, so I don’t know what No Drama ’09 is. I assume it’s a thing to stop the arguing between contrasting Sonic fans on TSS. That right?
It’s just stupid. How many times do they really think they can re-realease all thses titles on discs to other consoles?
But for the DS….might be something worth downloading for DS fans. I mean 99$ for a DS game!
No Drama 09? What if you wanted to create a fan fiction video adaptation?
