I'm still not convinced that the "new" Super Sonic music for Origins isn't unused music from the cancelled Sonic 4 EP 3; it's got roughly the same composition style as Sonic 4 EP2.
I think the Mister is cool and all, but honestly I have seen some video's exploring the difference between hardware and software emulation and the advantages of both.... I would pick software over FPGA, wouldn't mind some sort of hybrid approach but I can only imagine how complex that would be and how expensive.
