Guess the newly animated stuff they're adding for this is why it took so long.
Interesting that they seem to choose to scrap the split versions of Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles in favor of the true version. Question what this means for whatever music they use, but I will miss the Sonic 3 version of Knuckles' theme for this.
Also given they're sneaking Tails and Knuckles into games they weren't in before, I think they should have a secret unlockable playable Amy Rose, since they didn't put her in Mania Plus either. Doubt it'll happen but it would be fun.

I'm so happy to FINALLY see S3&K in widescreen HD officially. That alone for me is worth getting this.

I like that their finally porting the android version of Sonic 1 and Sonic 2 since they show off Sonic 2 hidden palaces zone boss fight in the trailer.

Cons: Digital only (at least for now I guess?) Bigger Con: Multiple downloadable versions where you don't even get everything for the biggest edition (44.99 will be the total for the biggest DLC)

Well the steam port's already looking bad.

Excited to finally have these versions on console rather than dealing with fiddly phone controls. With the possible exception of the music in S3&K if any is changed (as it is a volatile subject for Sega) these might end up being the definitive versions of the games to play going forward.
It's a pity Sega's bad marketing/DLC is overshadowing the amazing work that Taxman and Stealth have put into this project.

While I loathe the idea of further Downloadable Content for things that would be nice to have in the base game, paid DLC of being able to play as Ray, Mighty, & Amy in the classic games would be cool.

I know if S3&K is jacked with in some way that fans are going to go nuclear, especially now that they are pulling any modern port of the game. I also know this means Sonic 3 A.I.R., the best mod for Sonic 3 by a mile is in deep trouble now.

I mean, I do understand delisting the individual games in the collection you're about to sell. Kind of makes Origins a tough sell when you can buy the games cheaper on their own.
The problem I have with Origins though is when you really look at what you're getting, the only *new* remake here is Sonic 3 & Knuckles. Yeah, there's animations, snazzy menus, and a mission mode, but there's really not a lot of content being offered as the Christian Whitehead remakes have been around for a good long time. I know it's only meant to be a "definitive" collection of the games, but I dunno; I wanted a full-on remake in the style of Sonic Mania and it doesn't seem like that's what's on offer here.

The additional dubious element at work is that Sega has not offered the mobile ports of Sonic 1 or 2 on any actual video game console/computer for years, despite those seen by many as being the very best versions and fans constantly asking them to. That they're only doing so now as part of a $40/$45 dollar package with paid DLC and DRM on the PC version just reeks of a cynical and deliberate cash grab.

Sonic stream from today confirmed the MJ/Brad Buxter (Ice Cap, Launch Base, Carnival Night) tracks won't be in the game, with Jun Senoue composing the replacements based off the Prototype versions.
Disappointing (especially in losing Ice Cap's music) but the latter puts out some strong work and the PC version will get a mod to fix it so it could be worse.
