Sonic CD - PAL and NTSC

Hello Sonic FANS

This video is about the Sonic CD game for SegaCD and MegaCD, and the big differences the both games have
in the Music selection.

I believe the Composer " Spencer Nilsen " has made all the tracks for the game, both PAL and NTSC.

In my opinion the best version is the PAL game, not just because i live in Europe, but the NTSC version doesn't even sound like a sonic game at all.

both musics are ok, but don't think either sound like a Sonic ost. They should have used some familiar beats and expanded on the like Nintendo had done with Zelda and Mario. This just sound like you turned on a pop station in the 90's and doesn't age well unlike the original Sonic 16bit chip tunes imo.

@videogameobsession I agree! both soundtracks have some nice music, but not sonic style.

Thanks for the comment!

ive got a question. I am getting the sonic gems collection game (pal) and before that i got sonic mega collection (pal) and when i played sonic 1 on SMC it was slow and the music was also slow is this gonna hapen with sonic gems collection on sonic cd ?

Set your TV to 60hz and the game will go a little faster, not much, but you will hear the difference.

Megadrive (EUR/PAL) runs in 50hz, and Genesis (U.S./NTSC) runs in 60hz.

Therefore the Genesis games will run a little bit faster then the Megadrive games.

You can do the same thing on SGC, but the music in PAL-SGC isent the PAL Music, its the NTSC music, and Therefore i dont like SGC...

Stupid Sega to not include the PAL music...

Although most of the japanese songs are better, you have to admit some US songs fit much better. For example: Tidal tempest bad future, boss, invincible, speed shoes etc.

[duscha55]

Im sorry to say, but i think all the European/Japanes music is better then the American version.

except for the intro and ending music, they are both great in the American version.

The Japanese version has the same music as the PAL version, but the PAL version runs on 50 FPS, and the NTSC and Japanese versions run on 60 FPS.

PAL FROM HERE TILL TOKYO ...

the games may have gone ahead in graphics but in sound they didnt even stayed on that level its so hard to hear actual tunes in nowdays games , they stack them with songs that have no real relation to the game and that was it , exception is skyrims ost , DOVAKIN !

ps , im a ps fan :p

@RockmanKenny

Yeah but because the music was streamed off a cd it is the same pitch, come on people.

@videogameobsession I dunno, sure 16-bit was good, I think Sonic CD and Sonic the Fighters/Championship had it beat.

[videogameobsession]

@supershadow64ds Yes, I know. That's what I was saying! The 16bit chip tunes (cartridge based music) is better imo.

[supershadow64ds]

@videogameobsession But its not 16bit, its on a cd
