there were a lot of problems with a lot of these titles. Biggest hits where Mega collection and Gems collection, but they released a lot, across lots of platforms, even the PS4 got in on it.Īnd.

Utterly nothing to support it.ģ2x to PS2 Era Emulation issues: During the early to mid 2000s Sega were re releasing a lot of games. some of them are a bit nuts, one or two have completely vanished. The only thing which supports this theory is that it's come to light following the All Star games that Sega doesn't own a lot of their characters and they need approval from the owners.

Sega doesn't own Mighty: Basically there was a belief that Mighty wasn't fully owned by Sega and that the creator of him refuses to let Sega use him. Its absence in Sonic Gems Collection is also a little bit confusing because they even include artwork from it in the games' Museum feature, which makes ya wonder if they were originally going to include it or something, especially since it seems like such a natural addition.Īs for the emulating thing, plenty of people seem to emulate it perfectly fine on their personal computers, so I don't know why Sega would be unable to do the same thing.Īll things considered, it's not super surprising that they wouldn't bother releasing an obscure and not-that-great title, but they've done it for other games, so it kinda makes you wonder. This basically make sense, but it's still a bit weird that they wouldn't do it for Knux Chaotix when they've done it for titles like Sonic Blast, Sonic the Fighters, Tails' Skypatrol, etc. It's just not any kind of priority for them. Chaotix adds several new power-ups and 3D bonus levels as well.It wasn't very good, not many people know or care about it, and it was on kind of obscure hardware meaning it would probably take more work to port/emulate it and get them little in return. There also two characters whose sole purpose is to slow you down, Heavy the Robot, and Bomb. The new characters that appear are Vector the Crocodile, Mighty the Armadillo, Espio the Chameleon and Charmy Bee. Therefore, when you play the game you are always attached to another character.Īlthough the basic gameplay of Knuckles Chaotix is similar to the Sonic games, the bungee cord between the two characters creates new challenges. What's worse, he has imprisoned several of Knuckles' friends in the "combi confiner." This contraption only allows Knuckles to free one of his friends at a time be attaching a tether between himself and them. He wants the power emerald which supplies electricity to the entire island. Robotnik, as usual, has an evil plan for the park. It's his job to protect the park and make it a happy place for visitors. Knuckles works at Carnival Island, an amusement park. The starring character in this title is Knuckles the Echidna, who first appeared in Sonic the Hedgehog 3.

Knuckles Chaotix is a spin-off of the Sonic the Hedgehog series of Genesis games.
