@glidem Sounds like they took the NTSC version, and just reduced the speed from 60hz to 50hz, instead of doing it properly by setting the region code to EUR in whatever emulator they are using and using PAL versions of the roms.
Got the Sonic edition for Christmas. With the exception of the Music playing at the wrong speed/pitch this is pretty decent. Did anyone else find it interesting that it included "Sonic 3D Blast" and not "Sonic 3D Flickies Island"?? Just that "3D Blast" is the American version of the game - just found it a bit random that they would use that instead of the UK game. Any ideas why? I am not complaining by the way, just a curious Sonic Nerd!
x not a megadrive thing? surely you've seen a 6 button pad before. it's strange they didn't include a y and z if they were gonna bother with an "x", though
(be prepared for question attack ;)) is the game you play one of the pre installed ones? What type of TV are you playing this on? Does it work on all TV's? Thanks :) Strongly considering getting this for my brother for Christmas! :P
it would appear that the system isn't fast enough to run the megadrive games-- the game is running at a slower speed than an actual megadrive, so the sound is also slower, which makes it lower in pitch than it should be.
Although the review was good, I think it was a little half ass. I wanted to know more about the controls, how the joystick felt, how heavy it was (this should be something to know if its going to be a key chain) and how long the battery last.
The audio seems to sound quite rubbish. But as you said, what to expect from that pricerange? Its a perfect present for a good friend or to bring to parties.
It's like a game marathon you can carry in your pocket :D ! Just be sure to bring some batteries though...

@Rey619Spear There can be slow down when comparing PAL to NTSC, however in this case it is more to do with the hardware.

Is the game you play one of the pre installed ones?
Yes.
What type of TV are you playing this on?
HDTV although would work on any television with a yellow composite connection input with two audio inputs red and white.
Does it work on all TV's?
As long as it has the connections just mentioned you will be fine and most do even very old ones.

Sound like the larger model with the lcd screen might have more grunt to run the games better.

its definitely slower than the actual game, and for a sonic game thats a deal breaker.

@SinisterSally I have had it side by side with a real megadrive, its the same speed, it sounds slower since the sound is mono.

@BigTsimReviews Oh ok. You cannot really compare this to the real thing. This is just made for fun as a plug and play device.
I'm not really interested on getting something like this, also because I'm not a old school gamer.
