Hello, kiddies! This is your friendly chief literary consultant filling in for ShadiWulf. I am here to bring all of you here who are my age immense joy and endless hours of celebration regarding our videogaming past! Fasten your seat belts...here we go!
Now, how many of you on R&E are at least 21 years of age? Good; good...the three of you can put your hands down now. For everyone else, this update is a lesson in proper old-school gaming.
How many of you lovely people remember this little, beautiful thread? It involved me saying the following in response to a lot of talk about a new game that came out a few months ago:
Well, for those of you who want to know, this, this, this, and (last but not least) this were all where Sonic came from. I don't care what all of you high school-aged people say: he didn't come from this, this, or (God forbid) this! Sonic was my generation; my console. That gives me a right to tell you what Sonic is.
...and finally, you must all be asking, "why is Matty ranting and raving about nothing?" Well, I'm getting to that now...
XBOX Live Arcade is finally going to show all of you Sonic's proper roots! Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Sonic the Hedgehog 3, and (last but not least) Sonic & Knuckles are all going to be released on XBLA featuring the lock-on capabilities found on the original games released for the MegaDrive so many years ago.
My (not so) humble suggestion would be for all of you people who have an XBOX 360 to purchase these games and play them through until you beat them. It's worth your time and money, and you'll be seeing the true history of our favorite speedy hedgehog. Click the link above for more specific information regarding the release.
Finally, thanks to ShadiWulf and AugieD for the tip.
