lol good catch

 

[QuickSilverMC]

lol.........
so is this the real and not demo or other thing?

 

[stivsama]

Err, should i worry about continuity?

I can't figure out why after all of Sonic's speed, I still find him quite boring.. I hope things don't get redundant here.. Or maybe I should be getting something I hadn't.. Oh well.. Here's to sega supporting Nintendo again!

 

[x_comp]

Ah... Sonic Advance 3. Everyone's probably played the beta version to death already.

 

[Costello]

this is OK now, I've edited the topic's title

please forgive Thug, he's kinda busy and he had to hurry...

 

[Skelv_tnt]

If it's the USA version why does it come also in the main european languages and in japanese?

 

[Darkforce]

Sega do that quite a bit with their games...they code all the different languages inhouse instead of sending the game away to a European branch or whatever...kinda weird considering they sometimes do this with games that don't even get released in countries they made translations of it for.


Anyway Sonic Advance 3...sorry guys but to all those doubters out there thinking the earlier rom was just a beta, all I can say is... told ya so.

...I said the version was released ages ago was very likely to be the actual retail version and juging by the (U) release it is...*sigh* as usual no one listens to me though.

But yeah the two games...gameplay wise from what I played (had both games running side by side in VBA) the games are exactly the same...all the menus, graphics, sound etc... Sonic still ran at the same pace and so on.

The only difference between this release and the one ages ago is that the earlier rom was the (E) version whilst this is the (U) version.
For anyone who cares here are the different rom headers:

...No doubt when the "real" (E) version does actually get released by a group it will be identical to the "beta" version.

Alright! Woohoo! Fantastic! Amazing!

Oh yes, the great games come when i get my interent back (FINALLY!)! Hooray!

Now, let's praise to the lord that Shadow is in it...

 

[tfoshay]

How do I download this rom? I'm so confused.

How do I download this rom? I'm so confused.

No ROMs will be found on GBATemp.

mIRC is your friend. Always remember that.

 

[ConraDargo]

Unless SEGA has finally added some bonus stages, I'm not downloading this rom...

Sonic was so much more fun on 16-bit.

 

[bluemax]

I missed out on the beta, but I think I'll give this a play after I get tired of Mario VS Donkey Kong.

 

[DjFIL]

So far it's not too bad. Kinda wierd going around one world to get portals to the actual stages. Couple new innovations (ie. the see-saw launch board) already found in the first world. I havn't figured how to use 2nd charactor yet, but that's alright. Should be fun... I've always been a Sonic fan.

 

[gba2002]

Holy crap man, rom scene explosion today.

 

[skarthebloodchild]

i didnt like the (E) edititon ,
so no need to play this

 

[Woxxy]

(E) was so beta!
It's buggy as hell, wheras this one was not.
Still found some slight bugs in this one though.

Get over it... (E) version comes after (U), ok?
