TSSZ News is reporting via the fan site SEGA Online that SEGA will be re-releasing Sonic and Knuckles from the Genesis/Mega Drive on Xbox Live Arcade. This time, it WILL have the lock on cart extras that you used to be able to use when you locked on Sonic 1, 2 or 3 to the S&K cart. In order to replicate the original experience of this as best as possible, you need to have purchased Sonic 1 on Xbox Live to access blue sphere, Sonic 2 for Knuckles in Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 for my favorite Sonic game of all time, Sonic 3 and Knuckles.

*sighs* how about a traditional sonic game for wiiware? Oh sorry I shouldn't mention such good ideas! Sorry SEGA...

I actually mentioned the same idea on another site Dash!

Aha! That's because "Great minds....?
