Briefings

iam8bit launched a Legacy Cartridge Collection for Sonic and Sonic 2 on the Sega Genesis, offering complete physical copies including cases, manuals, and posters. The collection is priced at $99.99 per cartridge, which is significantly higher than the combined digital price of both games on the Nintendo Switch. While the physical items are described as 'stunning,' the article concludes that for the average consumer, the high cost makes the collection unlikely to be worth the investment compared to digital alternatives.
