He can still influence films as a producer.

Well that didn't last long. The Dumbledore movie took the #1 spot this weekend. Sonic 2 is now #2.
However, it's not all bad news for Sonic 2. Domestically it is now the third highest earner of the year, and including worldwide numbers only bumps it down to number four. Interestingly, Dumbledore is being carried by worldwide numbers. Domestically its opening weekend kinda sucked.
Didn't find a dedicated Sonic thread, but....
With the movie doing well, and a new fancy 3D game still purportedly due later this year, Sega is striking while the iron is hot.

Sonic Origins is a collection of 1-3, Knuckles, and CD. Will feature a classic and remastered visual modes, extra animated content, and museum element. I believe this is the first time in over a decade Sonic 3 has been made available in a collection, though I'm less than thrilled with the lack of additional games. Hell, looking at the myriad of DLC being offered, it feels more than a little like a money grab. Especially at the ridiculous $40 (STARTING!) price point.

Huh interesting. That pipe organ boss is from the Sonic 2 android remake. They had a completed Hidden Palace Zone that could only be accessed in no-save mode.
Thing is: I'm pretty sure SEGA made them take it out, though I might be getting confused with the Dust Hill Zone. Extra interesting is that this suggests these are based on those remakes, which, in turn makes me wonder if the Sonic 3 here is related to the proposed Sonic 3 remake that the same studio wanted to do before Sonic Mania happened.

Just getting Sonic 3 officially again is worth the price tag. Sega has been about as hands-off as possible when it comes to ROM hacks but I like there to be an official option.
Headcannon studios is the ones behind this collection, so yeah its a collection of their remasters, and the Sonic 3 one they've been working on, being sold togeather.
As for other games? Well, there is a screenshot out there that shows Robotnik's base from Spinball in the menu options.
Ahh, cool. I'd not had a chance to read up on it yet (just skimming at work), so that's actually really cool and makes the price tag feel a lot more reasonable. Especially if there's some extra games included.
It looks more like an actual remaster than most "Remastered" games these days.
"Story Mode" and "Mission Mode", there, in the Japanese text.
Honestly, I've been reading it as "Sonic the Hedgehog thread 2" for a while, now.
So Mighty and Ray will probably be playable in Origins, by using their builds from Sonic Mania?
Cool animation! Just putting a YouTube version here but it's the same as the hero of Hyrule, I mean, the link above.

I mean, I guess in the sense that it doesn't literally look worse in any noticeable way I guess, but it's literally just the exact same graphics in the same resolution with widescreen support added.
Also, it's been pointed out that it's half the games that were included in those PS2-era compilations but for a higher price. You're paying exclusively for those cutscenes. Enjoy.
Yeah, it became a lot better proposition, when they turned out to be the Headcannon remakes. Like, those are ground up recreations of the original games with a lot of extra content. Assuming that this comes with all the previous stuff and S3&k has been given a similarly loving rebuild, it's a really good price.
Like, if these were just base-ass emulated ROMs, then, yeah, it'd be pretty shitty, but Headcannon has proven their quality over and over, so I have some optimism for this.

I love Sega.
I wouldn't credit Sega too much. They're still the same people who have repeatedly shot themselves in the foot with their own in-house developed Sonic games. Their embracing of fan developers is more a sign of desperation than love for their community.
Like, in that same thread, people are harassing Stealth over the DLC model, but that almost certainly comes directly from Sega executives.
