Kotaku seem to have stumbled upon a tiny gem of news. Sega have been busy getting some old games new descriptions and ratings from the The Entertainment Software Ratings Board. The only two games Kotaku would go as far as to confirm thanks to the added evidence of leaked screenshots.

Other games rumoured for release on XBLA sometime in the near future include Comix Zone, Gunstar Heroes, Phantasy Star II and of course, Sonic 3.

It’s been a long wait for Sonic 3 on XBLA as Sonic 2 was released back in December of 2007. There is no news yet about Sonic & Knuckles but with it being one of the main Sonic titles of the Genesis era it’s release should be inevitable. However the fate of Sonic 3 & Knuckles isn’t so sure. Both Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles were included in Sega’s recent Ultimate Collection but there was no way to combine the two.

TSSZ News wonders if there is a way of combining two XBLA games maybe if both were bought separately…

Love this game. Too bad I’ve already played the crap out of it, so I’m not particularly inclined to buy it again.

^that

I would get it only for 400 points and with Knuckles lock-on.

Does the ESRB really have to rate this game again since they already rated it for its Virtual Console release?
And where IS Sonic & Knuckles, anyways? It’s bound to hit both XBLA and VC at some point.

I love this game to death but I refuse to buy it again. Now that I own the original I’m not spending any more money on rebuying games.

this affects me in no way since I already have Mega Collection….Plus (lol)

I’ve bought Sonic 3 more times than I should; I own the original Mega Drive cart and I’ve got it on Sonic Jam and Mega Collection Plus. I’ll probably buy it on XBLA just for the convenience of being able to play it on my 360 and to get some achievement action!
