This game ABSOLUTELY deserves an Arcade1up release for sure, especially with the ability to swap between Eggman’s classic and SATAM designs, along with Sonic the Fighters and the Mega Play versions of Sonic 1 & 2 being added so it’s not just one game
It's such a shame this game didn't get an international release. If they released this with English voice acting, I could see this being a big hit. I mean, sure, it's not a masterpiece, but if I was a kid in the 90s and saw this, I definitely would have poured some quarters into it.

Interesting that the English script the localization team made didn't mention the tower in text when it was self-destructing - maybe the Robotnik dialogue when you encounter him in the tower was meant to be simpler in the World and USA releases?
Going by SATam Robotnik being there, I could have seen them having Tails and Sally be playable (instead of Mighty and Ray) had it come out in the West!
This hack of SegaSonic The Hedgehog is accurate to what would happen if it were Westernized when it comes to localization. At least most Sega games change the cover art and not sprites and assets from the game.
The sprites of the SatAM Robotnik were unused in the final version of SegaSonic The Hedgehog and a version of them but with Eggman instead of Robotnim were used in the final game
I remember this game and I played this on MAME but little fact about this. Not only it didn't get a international release but they were planning to put this game on Sonic Gem Collection which sadly due to the controls which couldn't fix because the game itself only use that track ball thing and couldn't emulate the controls on consoles. It sucks but they could've tried and one game has that track ball controls and fixed like Marble Madness on Midway Arcade Treasures 1.
I love the fact that all the english stuff is in the code of the original japanese version yet the people running SEGAWORLD UK & Syndey couldn't even be bothered to turn on the english text
Someone try to get Jim Cummings, and Jaleel White along with a few other voice actors to redub the voiced Japanese dialogue; that way, it’d truly be an english arcade release! I’d like it to be a reunion of sorts-you know, like for old time’s sake. And of course, other voice actors are more than welcome to join in!
16:36 I was confused as to why there wasn’t a flame coming out of Robotnik’s Eggmobile until I looked closer and saw tiny bits of the flame sprite coming out of the exhaust due to Robotnik’s Eggmobile being bigger than the original sprite for Japanese Eggman’s Eggmobile
Im not a Sonic fan but this game looks good. Not just for it's time, it almost looks like a modern 2D game. Im not really seeing any particularly unique effects, but the effects that are shown are pulled off very well. In particular, the animation is VERY smooth, which enhances the 3D look. A lot of the effects would be a lot less impressive with fewer frames of animation. Like the bridge falling when you run across - on a home console of the time you would never see so many frames to that animation, and the logs would stand out as flat sprites. But they animate so smoothly here as to convincingly portray depth and almost look like actual 3D objects. I am impressed.
@@thediamndjvckuh you do realize Sonic wasn’t much of a huge hit back in the day in Japan in fact the MD didn’t really do that well and the Saturn was Sega’s best selling console over here beating the N64 in Japan I guess they knew they weren’t also fond with the N64 like myself. small trivia but Sonic X was actually a failed anime in Japan and did well in the west which was the reason why S3 was green lit and be west only which is pretty crazy
Yeah, that reasoning makes no sense. They were aware that Sonic was always more popular in the west. If anything, one would have expected them to release it in the west even if it was cancelled for japan. No one quite knows what happened in reality.

If they ever rerelease this game on modern systems, I hope there is an option to play the english version with the Saturday Morning cartoon, and comic design of Robotnik. The fact those were officially in the game data shows they planned on releasing that game with those designs in America.
SatAM Robotnik clashes with the art style like a sore thumb, I much prefer the original, I grew up with this game back in the day playing it at our local arcade.
I highly agree, the fact that this moment at 16:40 is meant for the original (Classic) Eggman video game design, it doesn’t fit with SatAM Robotnik since that version is more menacing and more darker than original video game iteration.
It would have been great if this game had an international version with english voices and english subtitles Besides Eggman's design for this region sounds great for that time in the 90's in America
I don't know, I really think that isometric view doesn't work that well for a Sonic game, it just doesn't feel fast, which should be the entire point of the game.
