Sonic Gems Collection

[Ex Sega Dev]

You know what (con)version of Sonic Fighter they are using don't you?...

[Alchy]

There never was a console version of Sonic Fighters to my knowledge, except the Saturn one, and I don't see why they'd port that rather than the arcade.

[Yakumo]

Don't tell me they're porting the Saturn version !! That pisses me off because that should have been released on the Dreamcast as part of a Sonic Collection.

Did sonic fighter come out on the saturn?!

[StarWolf]

Nope

[Yakumo]

No but it was in production. I heard once that Sega were working on a PC version too.

it was in production and some of the stages characters made it in to Fighters Megamix. I never played Sonic Fighters anyway so I've no idea if it's any cop. I guess it plays just like Virtua Fighter Kids but with some weapons and stuff thrown in

[sayin999]

well if you want to see for yourself go to segas U.S. website where they got a trailer for the game, though its hard to make out if its the arcade or saturn version.

I can't get to the Sega.com page. every time I try I get sent to sega.co.jp I hate this redirecting crap. Is there anyway to turn it off?

Ack, finally Europe is getting the better treatment, then I'm stuck with a US PS2 :mad:

[Rabid Peanut-Butter]

Sonic Spinball again? That was in the last collection as well wasn't it?

[wombat]
