Update: SEGA have confirmed that Sonic Classic Collection will be released in March 2010 on Nintendo DS. It will include all the original games from the Mega Drive: Sonic The Hedgehog, Sonic The Hedgehog 2, Sonic The Hedgehog 3 and Sonic & Knuckles.
Not only that, but you'll now be able to save at any time - if the Chemical Plant Zone clashes with the end of your commute, just save, switch off and resume later. Easy! Plus, there are videos and artworks to be unlocked, as in previous collections such as Sonic Jam and Sonic Mega Collection.
Will you be tempted to buy and beat Dr. Robotnik all over again?
Original Story:
Eagle-eyed folk have spotted a listing over on the Australian ratings website OFLC that indicates SEGA is set to release a bunch of classic Sonic games on the Nintendo DS.
Considering how successful both Sonic Rush and Sonic Rush Adventure have been on the touch-screen portable system, clearly this cash-in could very well be a wise move. Following on from the revelation of the game's existence, though, more details have emerged from the BBFC, seemingly listing the entire contents of the package:
