Sonic Mania Collector’s Edition Announced

24 Comments

1. Looks good enough and the price seems reasonable.

   Really hoping we can get something just as good or better for Sonic 2017 as well, also hoping that game is good for that matter lol

2. I pre-ordered it as soon as I saw the official tweet from the Sonic Twitter. That’s $70 well spent in my books!

   1. Well, $56 in my case because I’m a Prime Member.

3. Disappointed that there is no CD, but I am excited, nonetheless! I already preordered the thing!

4. Why is it duplicating my comments?

5. Man, the collector’s edition looks great, but $70 is pretty steep… well, with Prime it’s $57, but still, I don’t know if I can justify spending that much.
   It brings up a good point, though: how much will the finished game by itself cost? I assumed it would be somewhere between $15-$20, but if this edition is $70, I have to wonder if the game alone will be closer to $25-$30.

   1. This is actually cheap as hell compared to the 20th anniversary collector’s box (WHICH I HAD TO IMPORT FROM NZ)

      What a steal!

6. When does the preorder timeframe end???

   1. Depends on how many pre-orders are made, and how quickly they sell out.

7. Though I’m still getting this I would have paid more than twice what they want if the pose they went with was based off that glove tugging artwork from Sonic CD. The pose and piece of artwork they did base it off of nicely conveys all the charms of Classic Sonic though so I’m not complaining.

8. There is also a 20% discount for Amazon Prime members, making it 55.99, a real steal of a deal in my book for all the swag in store!

9. wow that looks awesome 😀 i wish SEGA can do a bundle for it.

10. How can I get it in the UK?

    1. you can get it imported from amazon.com but you have to pay a bit extra for the import charges and stuff its around £70 if you have amazon prime as you get 20% off so get a free trial for it before you buy

11. Totally psyched about the Collectors Edition, but I’m surprised no one’s talking about the delivery date listed on Amazon for the PC version. It says it will start shipping on May 31, 2017, We have an idea now about when it will be released!

    1. Games don’t usually release on the last day of the month, so this sounds like a placeholder date to me. We still know the game is scheduled for Q1, so I’m guessing this is more of an “at the very latest” type of thing than a legitimate clue for an official release date

12. And still no Nintendo platform available.

    Are Nintendo fans not good enough for this game?

    1. You had just gotten three Nintendo exclusives…

    2. No your not. You disgraced us with Lost World and Boom.

       1. And how is that the fault of Ninte do fans. We’re the victims here.

          If I have to resort to theft just to play this game……….

13. This looks great and I already have it pre-ordered, but tbh I’m a *little* disappointed with some of the pre-order bonuses.

    Now a mini-artbook, full-color novelty instruction manual and/or a CD with a few tracks from the OST would be right up my alley.

    Is it too late to add any of these things, SEGA?

    1. Different strokes I guess.

       I find artbooks to be a waste of paper, considering they’re typically just full of recycled assets we’ve seen online for years (the 20th anniversary one for Generations is a sad sad joke),

       An OST might be nice, but that sort of stuff will be available online a few days after launch (at least unofficially), so it’s hard for something like that to feel particularly special.

       1. Gonna have to disagree about the OST, the songs being pirated or not shouldn’t deter someone who was seriously willing to spend $70 on a Collector’s Edition in the first place. The novelty’s pretty much the entire point. All they’d have to do is slap special artwork on it.

          But yeah an artbook would have to have art specific to the game in it, concept art at the very least. I still think the instruction manual’s a pretty solid idea though.

14. NA exclusive, huh?
    Sounds reasonable after the EU exclusive Gens CE.
    Guess I can’t get it by walking down the street and checkng the local vg stors, not if I’d want to.
