Sonic fans would search for over two decades for lost unfinished copies not meant for redistribution. SEGA releasing Sonic 06 so the fans dont have to search for broken games. LOL. Just kidding. I love DRX and their contributions;)

It's so weird how these games started out just random as kids, then we grew up and noticed the environmental storytelling, the way it actually makes sense that you're moving through these areas in this order, and then.. we start wondering what the real 'canon' order is since we can see the clear revisions... anyway just to point this out as I always do, MJ didn't write the music. He didn't write music, he performed it. _The people who wrote his music_ wrote songs for this game, including Brad Buxer. And they never got paid, which is the reason those songs can't ever be used. Sega will not shell out the cash.

funny thing is, i actually WANTED this as a kid for christmas aside from it being cheap, and kinda crap, it made for a decent introduction to a handful of the NES library before i eventually got an actual NES system, and this was right when i was getting into retro gaming as a kid

The Sonic and Knuckles Collection was produced due to Sega severing ties because of Michael Jackson's suspected child molestation. Also the music used by that collection is actually the Beta Music, before Sega scrapped it for MJs tunes

Interesting video! Thank you for uploading it! As a programmer and hobbyist Game Developer (occasionally, when I have the time and energy), I wonder why Sega would have withheld resources from 3rd Party Developers? Did they really do that? And if they did... was it that they would want their own games to look better? Or that they just didn't know that they should share their work? We all make mistakes, so I am not poking fun at Sega. It's sad that they did not win enough attention in the Console Wars, because I really liked them as a Developer / Publisher, and greatly enjoyed their games and consoles as a child. I do think Nintendo understood some really fundamental concepts on what makes a game fun. And that attribute of Nintendo gave it a fighting edge in the Console Wars. But Sega's consoles will be missed. I think they are a really unique and fun company... and I like the character that they add to the video game Market. Thank you for the video! 😊

The music for Flying Battery also comes first in the Sonic 3 level select screen. I believe this is also true in Sonic 3C builds and Sonic 3 & Knuckles final, I'm not positive on the lock-on though. It was more than just time constraints though. Japan didn't get Sonic 3 until after 3C was abandoned. They needed a 4MB cartridge, Sega of Japan didn't produce these for the Megadrive, only the US did

Thanks gotta love to pick up some random bits about gaming here and there <3

The Game Fillip! Perfect for children with no necks. “Finally a game system for me!”

I wish they would have kept the Sonic sprite. The one they used in the final version looked so derpy.

What if Spinball and MeanBean Machine never existed? While Sega of Japan and USA got along better and had no barriers whatsoever? And if they've worked on Sonic 3 together? While as a full-game, but keep it as short as Sonic 2. While it was never intended to be an isometric game. And if it never got split in-half(had it not been for McDonalds)? And if Masato Nakamura returned to the series to make Sonic 3's ost? And if it came out sooner by November 1993? So in conclusion, how'd this have changed Sega and Sonic's history(even the re-releases)? What new Sonic games would've came out from 1994 onwards? Imagine living in that parallel universe. With altered memories and pov.

MMC5 technically has... One additional sound channel? But it only works in famicom which has wiring for it much like konami's chips. GIMMICK or Batman or some other SunSoft game got approval to use it's own mapper, likely because it was late days of NES, the quality of the game and company, and they still had to remove additional sound channel usage to be a full experience on American systems.

Yet you mean there aren’t a lot of prototypes yet

A lot of incorrect info in the start of the video, but it was great

its Capcom

5:02 wrong It's not eggman disguised Its a egg robo Flying battery boss os glitched and show the wrong boss sprite Egg robo only appears when you die during the fight

Fun fact, the special stages' palettes are meant to mimic the respective stage order; if you look at the 5th special stage, it's colors still mimic Flying Battery's color scheme in the final game, alluding to it's original position.

I don't think the PC version using the alternate tracks had anything to do with copyrights, as Sega released Sonic Jam on the Saturn with the same music from the Genesis/Mega Drive retail release (and this was a complete re-coding of those games, so it's not like they were simply running the ROM). I believe different people handled the Windows version, and perhaps they had the prototype material as reference rather than the retail. Some pages indicate the developer was Media Kite, so it's very possible that Sega gave them a prototype (or prototype assets) at the time they began developing the Windows port, . Also, since the Windows version used MIDI, it's very possible they opted to use the prototype music because they couldn't do the voice samples in them. Regardless of who developed this game and whether or not they were aware of the retail release's soundtrack, they did decide to make this version's music ENTIRELY MIDI, so whether by accident or design, they would've had trouble using the samples (although it's debatable whether or not they could've just opted to make it some other instrument hit the same note/key).

Kind sir, In the near future, would you be interested on dedicating a video towards the Neo-Geo? It's my favorite units for both the Arcades and Home consoles and would be really interested on what you have to say about it. I did a channel search, but I didn't see anything regarding it.

"Wearing a metal hat/head so knuckles knows it isnt him" ............. lmfao.

Recently? How recently? I had a Sonic 3 prototype rom from The Hidden Palace over fifteen years ago.

What was the secret? No new information here

You need a de eser in your mic

I got one in 2004 from the mall. I actually enjoyed it since I liked NES games and without owning one.

Awesome thanks 👍 pojr

I thought the eggrobo was just a eggrobo, not eggman in a metal hat

I remember seeing an add in magazine about the arrest

Drop Dashing was originally going to be in Sonic 3, but it got scrapped and the concept wouldn't be realized until Sonic Mania

Holy shit! 😯 I haven't heard that name or seen that logo in EONS! For a very short time, they were known as *_ARCADIA_* Corporation. I forgot what made them change their name, unless there was another high-tech company using that name. UPDATE 3:22: I thought so.

How are you reviewing nes games if you don't have a crt? You can't even review gun games.

Ooof....This was a rough watch as a long time Sonic fan....

whats the music on 11:12?

This is more like a beta than a prototype, it was dated as late as November 1993, only three months before the game was already on store shelves. The fact that it transformed so drastically from this unfinished mess into the completed product we know in only a couple months shows how arduous and extensive its crunch development was in the final stretch.

9k subs in a week? Good job! 🎉

Thank you for pronouncing HydroCity correctly.

Several things to point out: 1. All of this have been discussed already since 2019, way too late talking about all this now 2. Sonic 3 is going on 30 years now actually 3. They had to split the game in two to make McDonald's promotion with the hedgehog 4. Sonic & Knuckles actually ended up with 7 zones, 8 if you count the Hidden Place portion of Lava Reef as a separate zone 5. It was already a well known fact that Flying Battery were supposed to come after Carnival Night 6. You can say that Knuckles share Tails' paths in Flying Battery, but does that technically makes these Knuckles' own paths since Tails is not natively playable on Sonic & Knuckles standalone??? Just a thought 7. Robotnik wears a metal helmet for disguise??? No, this is another enemy called Egg Robo, who have survived Sonic's run and then went on to replace the actual Robotnik as boss, since Knuckles' run takes place after Sonic's 8. Those tracks and a few others were composed by Brad Buxer actually, who collaborated with Michael Jackson on some of them, the latter left the development reporting unsatisfaction with the sounds on the game and was subsequently not credited. Its not widely known why these "prototype" tracks were specifically replaced with the final ones, but we know now why the latter could not be used in further rereleases, the very reason why this game was constantly skipped over for many years up until recently

To be honest, when I first watched this, I thought it was from an outdated video, until I checked (because of how much people we're talking about sonic lost media)

I remember when my mom and I used to play this regularly. We mostly played Super Mario, Popeyes, and Circus Charlie.

Forget 2000. These were still on sale even on flea markets for many years. But that was until like 3 yrs ago. And that was the same damn time I finally wanted to buy one and try it , yet saw I was way too late for the party when I noticed they were long gone. Last year however, I spotted a lady at a flea market who had only one box of this system but I was so friggin' skeptical and passed on it. Now there are these lame bootleg small nes consoles. I'd say those are worse.

u are AI

What a waste of 12 minutes. Badly researched, full of errors and with no new information at all.

The whole idea of Ultra was Nintendo's idea. Konami asked for an exception to the 5 games a year cap Nintendo gave their licenses and they said no. However, they said, there's nothing stopping you from obtaining a second license. The whole thing was written about in "Game Over" and there was nothing nefarious about it. Just good business for both companies.

Bible adventures was my jam and i am prepared to fight.

IM TAKING MY BUSINESS NOWHERE LOL

1. Nobody who paid any attention was confused about Ultra being Konami. This wasn't a secret. 2. Nintendo was completely fine with this "loophole". They didn't have to license Ultra. The reason why other companies couldn't set up their own Ultra was because Nintendo didn't allow it. 3. Still, companies frequently licensed games to other publishers to release in the US. Galaga was released by Bandai, for example. 4. The decision to release on Ultra or Konami was sometimes based on a franchise, but they also had to consider which label had open slots on which platform.

This console is not a Game Boy clone, unlike the Mega Duck. It does use a slightly worse version of an extremely common chip, the 6502.Variants of this powered most of the 8-bit home computers and the NES. (Others were powered by the similar Z80). In a portable console without special graphics hardware this chip was going to be underpowered. The console could not have beaten the Game Boy, nor was it intended to. Only in retrospect might this seem like a thing. 3-years on, this was a designed to look like the Game Boy. In modern terms, "We have a Game Boy at home". The Game Boy was already not the best of hardware, and this was worse in nearly every way. The market of people who couldn't afford a Game Boy but would buy lots of software was not large. This system was always supposed to be bargain bin trash.

You needed more research here. This isn't just a possibly a knockoff. It's a near 100% clone, the only change to remove the Nintendo lockout feature and rearrange addresses to avoid legal issues, I would assume. When you say "The CPU is similar, both clocking in at 4 MHz" you are wrong. It has the same CPU. It has the same System on a Chip, an SoC designed for the Game Boy. It has the same two 8K memory blocks. Everything here is compatible with the Game Boy, except the physical slot, register locations changed, an the system does not have the boot logo screen which serves as a Game Boy lockout chip. A Game Boy rom is mostly identical except for the data for the boot logo, and the register locations used. Emulators can play the games easily. You would need to do a little more address changing to make a compatible physical rom. Cloning is common when systems are made of standard parts. Sega's SG-1000 is almost identical to the Colecovision.

This video could have been made 4 years ago.

probably my favorite part of this game was its soundtrack

Nobody wants that😅
