Sega needs to fix the frame rate issues, slowdowns, sound effects, and the crop screen sizes for Sonic Classic Collection DS to be perfect size similar to sega genesis and the graphics and screens not squashed in the final version and the lock-on games for Knuckles in Sonic The Hedgehog 2, Sonic 3 and Knuckles have been confirmed? Does Sega of America have the official release date for Sonic Classic Collection for Nintendo DS? Will Blue Sphere be included in Sonic Classic Collection for Nintendo DS? Also want the games running at full speed with no glitches and screens not squished and want them in perfect sizes and the letters big.

Fun fact: if they would port this game to DS instead of emulating it, there would be probably some loading times, but no issues like this one, because they would have to copy one map at time and not load one GAME at time.

Definitely hope it’s the first. Not being able to play as Tails in S&K or being limited to playing S3 and S3&K seperately would be incredibly annoying/disappointing..

This can mean two things:
a) Mislabel on the DS side. KiS3 is actually S3&K.
b) Mislabel on the ROM side. They didn’t change the logo (either they will do that eventually or they are too lazy).

@stan:
Take a look at the third and fourth screenshots up from the bottom right. The screenshots show the title screen of S3&K that we all know and love.

[DOUBLE POST]

Hey, I didn’t notice S3&K title screen! Now I’m seriously confused.

@SuperLink and Solus:
Ahem. “As everybody know”, DS has 4MB of RAM. S3&K takes, guess what, 4MB. And you need additional RAM to emulate Genesis RAM, some technical stuff, and to place the emulator itself in it. So, summing this up, there is not enough RAM in DS to emulate S3&K. You would need additional “RAMpak” like in case of DS Internet Browser or use some advanced techniques (paging? Anyway, Sega can’t do that), or port the game instead of emulating it.

Because of that, Sega came up with pretty absurdal idea. Instead of S3&K, they decided to create KiS3 and probably (I, the fan of Tails, hope so) TiS&K. It’s rather simple thing to do for hackers, I suppose, and even simplier for Sega.

*sigh* Nevermind false alarm, they just call S3&K “Knuckles in Sonic 3″ on the bottom screen, for some reason.

You want people to point out odd things? There’s something I noticed almost right away…

Why does it say “Knuckles in Sonic The Hedgehog 3″ instead of “Sonic 3 & Knuckles”? Seems like these could be more fakes to me, or even implying that S3&K isn’t in this collection at all…

Not sure if this is new but, I heard someone played this game, he said that he played Sonic 1 and 2, he said that Sonic 1 ran well on the DS(i), but Sonic 2 had some slight frame rate issues, this might apply to Sonic 3/Knuckles, he also said that the “Save/Load” feature won’t load your last location, but the start of the act instead.

Even though I have this already on my PSP, I plan on buying this game.
