Is this coming to consoles? I haven't bought Sonic 1 yet because you can play it on Generations, but I would totally be down to buy this version.

Does anybody know if they've made any changes to stop knuckles being able to fly all the way past Marble Zone, for example? Playing Sonic 1 as Knuckles is pretty cool, but it's all too tempting to cheat.

Well, there used to be a way where Knuckles could fly all the way across the level, and past the boss, but now, the screen locks at the boss so you can't glide over him anymore.

Oh I never knew you could fly across the boss. Still would have been nice for them to simply add a wall that goes all the way to the top of the play area. Wouldn't impact Sonic play because you can't *get* to that area anyway.

Now... what's the likelihood of Knuckles being playable in the 3DS port...

How is it different or enhanced? It looks exactly the fucking same!
Have you tried reading the source or product page?

Of course not, you're Bladexdsl, and reading takes effort.

Oh you can play as knuckles and tails? So can I with the lockon roms :creep:
No you can't. You're thinking of a different combo. Sonic 1 can't be modified with the lockon due to wholly-different physics, it's 2 and 3 that can be.

Nexus 7, Sonic 1, PS3 controller = Perfect. I have a real blast playing this game and gladly bought it for both iOS and Android. When they release Sonic 2 I'll be doing the exact same thing (okay, I already owned Sonic 1 and 2 on iOS before).

Also, the Android version works in Bluestacks if you want to enjoy it there.

There's a video on Sonic Retro that shows off debug mode and some other tasty secrets, you know. I'd watch it myself but I don't want everything spoiled until I somehow acquire the money to buy and play through this port for myself.
