Sonic Mega Collection Japanese Website and Commercial

Post by big_smile »

Image Sega Japan have officially launched the full version of the Sonic Mega Collection Plus site, although in reality only two of the four sections are fully complete.

Navigating the pages with translation software can be difficult due to the Flash interface of the home page, so here’s a handy tour of each section together with the appropriate URL for instant access:

The first section details the features of the game. Extras-wise, it appears that Sonic Team are making a bigger effort with this version of the retro compilation as the game will feature a 'making of movie', concept art work, and a box art gallery.

Four character profiles on Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Eggman make up the second section of the site. Don’t expect to learn anything new – each profile is only less than a paragraph long.

The third section of the site profiles all 20 games in the collection. Currently, only the profile for the original Sonic the Hedgehog Mega Drive game can be accessed, but more are promised to follow shortly.

Pleasingly, the profile is much more detailed than the one Sega Japan provided for the Gamecube Mega Collection website as it features a summary of the story and details of the game play mechanics.

The fourth section has yet to launch.

In addition, Sega Chan, Sega’s Internet Broadcasting Network has released the Japanese version of the SMC+ commercial. As accessing the streaming video on Sega Chan can be a bit cumbersome, click here to conveniently download the entire broadband version of the commercial in WMV format, directly from the GHZ Newsboard (File size is 980K).

^ SMC+ will feature a special Sonic 1 version of Sonic 2!

Hmmm Xbox? This might be worth an investment, for Comix Zone alone.
