WTF is "needlemouse"?

a reason for nerds to hyperventilate and then blame someone else for their own crushing disappointment


I bought S&K. Easy 200 gamerscore

Why didn't they just release S3&K from the start instead of releasing just Sonic 3?

Because you can't nickel and dime your customers that way.

I'm of the opinion that you should already own a cart copy of Sonic 3 as well as Sonic & Knuckles if you're even going to post here, but hey. Maybe that's just me.

[Rusty Venture]

I'm in agreement with you Jerry.

If you don't own Sonic 3+Knuckles then you should be banned.

Why don't you go back in time and ask 1994 Yuji Naka? Black hole, starship, Superman, and/or copious amounts of whiskey required.

1.21 gigwatts and a speed of 88mph.

They didn't put it all on one cart (although it was planned that way) because it wouldn't fit.

Lol, Needlemouse is a fan project. GG Sega!

Why i don't care about Sonic hitting XBL.

1. Already own them both on cart (CIB)
2. Already own the PC version (CIB)
3. I don't pay for teh romz
4. I'm Batman!

That's true, but thanks to the elves we can now enjoy Sonic 3 how it was meant to be played:



It's just been one of those days I should have been more specific, what I meant to say was:

Why didn't Backbone or whoever is porting the Sonic games to the 360 just release S3&K from the start instead of releasing just Sonic 3?

But I think Jerry answered that question already.

I actually looked at how much MS points both Sonic 3 and S&K actually cost and it's not that bad. It's slightly less than 12$, which is cheaper than it would be to download both games on the Wii. It's a pretty good deal if you ask me.

[Rusty Venture]

To be perfectly honest, paying for S3 and S&K now is better than back in 1994. That was like $50 a pop, *each*.

$100 to get a "game" you should have only paid $50-60 for *once*.

$12 now is s damn steal.

meh! real hardware or not at all if you ask me! i love this game, i love my xbox but this belongs on a megadrive not an xbox! keep being a sell out sega! its what you do best!

Old British country slang for hedgehog.

WTF is "needlemouse"?

it's also the working title for the original Sonic the Hedgehog: Mr. Needlemouse. There's a really nice documentary about it on youtube somewhere, they also interview the original developers and it turns out that Michael Jackson played a HUGE role all over the place with the game design.

[Rusty Venture]

I wish MJ's zombie corpse would come back to life, confirm he had nothing to do with anything Sonic, then do the Thriller dance.
