Maybe this Sonic 1 is the high def one they mentioned at one point. Certainly can't be any worse then that fifteen minute GBA remake, though I have to say these games both have rather dull achievement titles.

I like how Bomberman Live isn't out yet even though magazines had ads for it a month ago and instead we're getting crap like this.

Well Sonic isn't crap but I have no desire to play it for a jillionth time.

[Mario Gamer]

Yup, just confirmed at the conference. Both available tonight.

All of the Sonic achievements seem very easy...

'cept that last one. The "don't die" one. o.o

I'm well pleased that Golden Axe is the original arcade version rather than the MegaDrive port. I'm looking forward to getting both, just as soon as I can get my 360 back.

Both games are out. They're the emulated originals with an optional smoothing filter, and in Golden Axe's case online co-op play. I haven't tried them myself yet (saving my points for Bomberman and Marathon)

I might get Sonic for the achievements.
