Sonic 2 on XBLA this week!
It goes without saying that Sonic 2 for the SEGA Genesis was, without a doubt, one of the best 2D platforming games to ever be made. Ever. Period. With the release of the first Sonic the Hedgehog a little ways back (along with our corresponding contest), it was all but certain that we would eventually see Sonic 2 make it’s way to the Xbox LIVE Arcade.
This Wednesday, according to Microsoft, seems to be that day. Promising to stay true to the original while taking full advantage of HD Graphics and enhanced sound, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 will be made available for download on XBLA this Wednesday, September 12th, for a measly 400 MS Points.
If you don’t buy this, you hate video games, democracy, and babies.

Why should I pay 5 bucks for a game I already own?

Let’s see, HD, achievements, Leaderboards, coop, etc…
I see it as an upgrade to the title, and $5 is cheap.
To put it into perspective, people buy Madden every year for $50-$60 and it is essentially the same game. Why not drop an extra $5 on an improved version of a classic?

I remember playing this with my sister all the time when we were younger.
It was always just so freaking fun! Obviously, hopefully, there will be no slow down on two player as it was prone to do.
And tails was stupid. But I thought more cute, especially when playing with him as the second player..
