Merchandise: Mega Drive Megatron is Now a Thing

Sunday, February 9th, 2014

Takara Tomy have revealed the action figure to end all action figures in the form of the Transformer Megatron who can now transform into a Mega Drive!

The figure was revealed at the recent Winter Wonder Festival in Japan but without paintwork. Presumably the figure is due for a Japanese release but no word has been given as to when this will happen at this time. Fingers crossed the figure makes it to the West as well!

Sonic 2 Remastered Releasing Tomorrow; Hidden Palace Zone is Unlockable

Wednesday, December 11th, 2013

Christian “The Taxman” Whitehead returns once again with a Retro Engine-powered port of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for Android and iOS devices. The new version of the 16 bit classic launches tomorrow and will be a free update for those who already own the existing port of Sonic 2 for these devices.

Along with the usual enhancements of a widescreen display and more accurate controls, Whitehead has seen fit to add Hidden Palace Zone as an unlockable bonus stage. This is not the Hidden Palace Zone from Sonic & Knuckles either; this is the version that was discovered in Sonic 2 Beta. Whitehead has obviously not left the stage incomplete and has given it a lovely makeover which now includes gimmicks like the water jet you can see above.

SEGA Tunes: This Unreleased Jetzons Song is Remarkably Familiar

Monday, November 11th, 2013

More details have emerged in regards to Michael Jackson’s involvement in the Sonic 3 soundtrack and it’s coming from an unlikely source. Brad Buxer who used to play keyboards in The Jetzons was working with Jackson on the soundtrack to the game but in a previous interview he wasn’t aware of what songs made it into the final release.

A staff member over at Sonic Retro has discovered an amazing similarity with a Jetzons song called ‘Hard Times’. Check out the song below and you might be surprised as to how similar it is to a song that features on the Sonic 3 soundtrack:

Yep, that melody is unmistakably Ice Cap! What an amazing find!
