There's been no announcement about this for Japan, to the best of my knowledge.


Wow. Thanks for this information, Thoul!

I don't get why PS II and not PSIV (which I'd pay serious cash for, but I digress).

I'm still a bit baffled why this is being released AFTER Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection. Not that I'm not a fan of PSII but since I already have it on a disc I don't see myself buying it separately [ok I'm lying I'd probably do it but I digress...] especially since it's already been touched up on. The only thing I can see them doing is if they do more touch ups on it, but I doubt that'll happen. Oh well, maybe the achievements will be worth looking into.

SEGA is still SEGA, and still has very poor business sence :down:

It's Sega's typical pattern. They always go to PSII as the first to be released in a new format. I guess it must have had the best sales out of the the four games back in the day or something.

Yeah, it doesn't make any sense. They're releasing some other games too, but those have network play or some other feature that collection lacked (like lock-on for Sonic & Knuckles). PSII seems to just be another rehash with HD tweaks, though.
