You're right. In fact, it's probably even a bit off-topic since by nature of the game not being out yet that means we can't be playing it. That being said, I find it to be quite homely here and I just finished unpacking this post so it would be a hassle to pack it back up again.
Anyways, as far as I'm aware this is the first time Sonic 3 is getting a port which isn't just the original ROM wrapped in an emulator. It also looks like we're also getting the Sonic 1 and 2 enhanced versions on a non-mobile phone platform now too. We can finally enjoy Sonic 2 with proper wide screen support and 60fps special stages without having to use garbage touchscreen controls. The 2 and CD mobile versions also threw in some re-imagined scrapped content so I wonder if they'll do the same with 3. Perhaps we'll see an updated version of the PC soundtrack.

So I'm glad the definitive versions of 1 and 2 are being released on something other than mobile of course, and 3&K getting the same treatment is a blessing, but I can't deny the price is a little steep and that the standard / pre-order / deluxe / deluxe pre-order tier thing is definitely a mess. That being said, I'm looking forward to its release. When the mobile versions came out you had to buy them- no free to play option like they have now filled with ads- so I have 2 on my phone and it's nice but I'm looking forward to it on something with a controller.

At least PC will probably have a pretty good mod scene.

this is the first time I've really been excited for a sonic thing in years. There are questionable things about this release, but the package existing at all owns.
Questionable things include: Also it's $40 for a compilation of games that are around 30 years old. The updated versions of everything but 3 and Knuckles is on steam for $5 each. Sonic Mania wasn't even $40 new.

but don't you think Character Animation in The Main Menu is worth $20 alone?

Were coins in the mobile versions already? Whatever they are, they seem to be replacing lives.

They're a currency specific to this version for unlocking things in the museum and stuff. They replace lives in the anniversary version.

Every few years I try to get into classic Sonic, but it never sticks. I just can't unlearn the completionist mindset I picked up from Yoshi and Donkey Kong games. A game where you just go go go, grabbing what you can and ignoring the rest feels fundamentally wrong to me. I get demoralized when I mess up a special stage or get hit and lose all my rings. I didn't even like Mania and everyone said that's the most beginner-friendly Sonic game.
