US Soundtrack Option Confirmed for Sonic CD Port

57 Comments

1. Do we know anything about whether both soundtracks will be included in the iPhone version?

   1. I can’t see why both soundtracks wouldn’t be in all versions of the port.

2. When they called this the definitive version of Sonic CD, they weren’t freaking kidding!

3. Judging by those 5G achievements, “many achievements confirmed” it seems.

   1. ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED
      Sonic Warrior – Watched the opening. 5G
      Options – Used the options menu. 5G
      Outta Here! – Got a Game Over by remaining idle for 3 minutes. 5G
      Sound Barrier – Toggled between both soundtracks. 5G

      1. I wouldn’t be surprised if that third one was actually an achievement in the game XD

   2. The MD games had many easy achievements like this, but still rounded up to 12 and 200 points.

4. Whatever I have to pay for this, It’s Worth it.

5. YES!!! It looks like game going to have a save option and level select!!!

6. Does it have both Japanese/European and US Soundtracks?

   1. Yes, both are in. The Japanese/European one was confirmed when the port was announced.

      1. Sweet :3 🙂

   2. That’s what the article is about. :I Both got in and you can switch in-between.

7. Shut up and take my Hyper-Go-On Power (*rimshot*)

   Okay SEGA, I’ll get this game, stop it, I’m gonna buy it you’ll get my money D:

8. I was doubtful about this “port” at first, but this.. Sega just shut up and take my money!

9. Now, if only SEGA would let us choose which song we want for past, future, and present…That would be smart of SEGA.

   For those who didn’t understand me, here, for example:

   1. I want to use Palmtree Panic US music for the present and past, but I want to use PP JP music for the future.

   2. I want to use Wacky Workebench JP music for the past and future, but I want WW US music for the present.

   3. I want Tidal Tempest US music for the future, but I want TT JP music for past and present.

   4. I want Stardust Speedway JP music for the past, but I want SS US music for the present and future.

   🙂

   1. All the pasts in the US and JAP versions are the same 😕 Why would you want an option to change the past music if there’s absolutely no difference? XD

      1. Are you serious? Wow -_- xDD Nevermind then.

10. HA! I KNEW THEY’D LET US DO THAT! OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

    1. Whoops… uhhh… sorry, Shadzter. Didn’t mean to make it that long and uhhh… extend the page… Please fix it, I’m terribly sorry.

11. DAMN.

    That Special Stage! It ACTUALLY LOOKS FEASIBLE. The UFOs aren’t constantly shrinking or growing in a confusion manner!
    THOSE TIME STONES ARE MINE.

    1. I had my jaw dropped when I saw the refined 3D stages! Well done Sega, Sonic Team & Taxman!

12. Widescreen, updated spindash, both soundtracks, playable Tails, and it’s for PS3 and possibly PS Vita? SHUT UP AND TAKE MY RINGS, SEGA!

13. Good, I was wondering why the heck they were seemingly using the far inferior Japanese soundtrack. Now with the option for the U.S music and Tails being fully playable, I’m getting this day 1.

14. Videos have been taken down due to a copyright claim by SEGA of America.

    Oh well, we know what we’re gonna get now! :3c Too late, dudes at SEGA!

15. NOOOOO! I’m too late to see the video (Been deleted due to copyright). Still, this news makes me cry with joy.

16. No copyright law in the universe is going to stop the US Soundtrack. Hell to the yeah!

    1. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

17. Video taken down :'(

18. Looking good, but to be honest I’m Still not happy that the lyrics from the Jap / Eur version is missing!!! – sort THAT copyright ourt sega – PLEASE!!!!

    1. If they sorted out the US soundtrack, then let’s all hope they will figure this one out too!

19. This is superb news! I’ve never played the game with its original soundtrack, so I’m looking forward to listening to the great tunes from that version, but now I can also listen to the US soundtrack as well? Hell yeah! Aside from the lack of lyrics in Sonic – You Can Do Anything and Cosmic Eternity, the is officially perfect.

    1. Eh, the lyrics to the Japanese theme songs were a bit… strange, to say the least. I can deal with them being removed.

20. Thank God they’ve decided to include the U.S. soundtrack. I was going to be severely disappointed if it was left out. Like I’ve said at a few other places already, I don’t think the Japanese/European track is terrible by any means, but the American soundtrack is the one I prefer, since that’s the one I grew up with. I just don’t think Sonic CD would have been the same without it.

    I’m glad to know that my fear of Spencer Nilsen’s score being excluded can finally be put to rest. If it wasn’t already good enough that his music is being included in the remake, they’re including the extended versions of the songs from the Sonic Boom album. For months (even before the Sonic CD port/remake was announced), I’ve been thinking of how cool it would have been if the Sonic Boom album tracks were to be included in the game, and now it’s finally happening. This port/remake may not exactly be perfect, but it’s far from being a true disappointment.

21. Hell yeah! I LOVE the US soundtrack! I am so buying this kickass port!

22. The videos got taken down, but this is still really great! I think I might actually get this…

23. Sonic wasn’t kidding when he said that copyright laws wouldn’t stop him. I just hope Toot Toot Sonic Warrior gets its lyrics back

24. I saw the footage before it got taken down and to those whom saw it. I’m surprised no one brought it up already but, did anyone noticed the Back To The Future reference? Achievement unlocked: 5g, 88 MILES PER HOUR.

    WIN SEGA! XD

25. Thank jesus for this so much.

    Now, what i would like is the ability to switch both songs within the game, say, have the japanese soundtrack for quartz quadrant and the american for wacky workbench. That would have been a great idea.

    If only sega believed in those.

    1. Believed in what?

       1. Independant Toggles for zone songs. like in Generations were you can chose which ever song you’ll like to listen to for each of zones you play instead of the defaults.

          @John Madden Sega does believe. Go play Generations.

          1. Yeah, they believe in them ONCE.

26. I wanna watch the video :u anyone have it?

    1. I second that.

27. I’m glad they decided to give us the ability to toggle between the PAL and US tracks. Its about damn time, to bad that this wasn’t done in Gems Collection, but better late than never.

    1. However, Gems Collection wasn’t really a Gem!
       YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

28. I’m glad both soundtracks are present in the game. Here’s an idea for payable DLC. Since there is a remix of US Stardust Speedway Bad Future and a remix of Stardust Speedway “Present” in the Sonic CD 20th soundtrack. All tracks otta have a remix for the game done by Crush 40 and Cash Cash, it would be a 3rd soundtrack including their remix of Sonic Boom. They did 3 tracks so far, please go all the way, I’ll pay for a remix soundtrack.

29. I’m pumped for this! Widescreen, better spindash physics, both soundtracks, a wide range of release platforms, PLAYABLE TAILS? This really is the definitive version of the game!

30. Eveything about this re-release looks so impressive. Both JP & US soundtracks. Both are excellent tracks in there own way. The special stage looks so much smoother. Even the options menu looks nice.

    I love the fact that the Tails sprite is the Sonic 2 version. In Sonic 2 Tails flying was only AI controlled (you – the player – were first able to fly as Tails in Sonic 3). Now we get to control Tails flying using the Sonic 2 sprite for the first time. A real nice addition

31. Oops copyright claim by SEGA of America.

32. What a humbling surprise, and its one of the most talked about games in Sonic history.
    Curious if there might be remixes hidden inside (if certain conditions are met). =D

33. Video links are down. Re-link to working videos?

34. @Chris – I was able to find some mirrors of the videos which work due to not being uploaded to Youtube. I have also captured some images in case these videos are taken down, too. Please check my tumblr, which is my Website attached to this post.

35. Instant Buy. nuff Said

36. Since when does Sega have sand in their vaginas about YouTube videos?

    1. I’m PREEEETTY sure that’s nothing new.

37. I know silly to ask you but you does it contains: Level Select, Debug Mode, Hidden Speical Stage (Time Limit/Time Attack) Speical Features – Opening, Good or Bad Ending, Penceil Test (Unlock on Time Attack) and Hidden Artwork? (Requires Level Select)
