Sonic 3d Flickie's island on saturn

When did this come out for the sega saturn?

Paulo

 

like a date? umm, same time it did for megadrive

I'm thinking 1996, pretty sure that's right. It was Sonic Blast in US.

 

p.s. baad font choice, sega!

It says FLICKIES ISLAND and looks a bit rude :smt043

 

in japan it was released in '99 rayer: !!

 

Thats what i wanted to know...

Why did they do this? It was after the dreamcast was around with SA...

 

Yes -- it was a VERY late release.
I've got all the release dates for JPN saturn games tucked away. If you want to know the specific one, let me know.

 

No im ok its just i got sonic 10th aniversary edition and it said 99 and i thought it was very weird for them to release it then. . . i mean why the saturn then why not just release it on the dreamcast...

 

I think they were trying to release only good games for the DC at that point.

 

now the question is , why did they released this on the saturn? (and im not talking about the late release...) :smt043

 

.

When was PAL version released then?

cheers

 

I remember reading an interview with someone who worked on Sonic Xtreme and apparently releasing Sonic Flickies Island or whatever its called was Kalinske`s (head of SOA) backup plan should Sonic Xtreme not make it... but that could all be fanboyish rumor crap :smt043
And its very odd indeed that the Japanese release was delayed until 1999, that would explain why I`ve only seen one copy here in Japan and it was 3500 yen :smt019

 

The only stranger release than that is Wario World on the GC --- a A Treasure game, published by Nintendo, released in Japan 2 years after it was released in the US. :smt017

 

Sorry to go OT, but GaijinPunch, did you get my latest PM? I havent got a reply yet and I figure something might have gone awry, just checking.

 

Re: .

1996 around then, it was made in England by Travellers Tales, who did Sonic R too.

Flickies Island is pretty good imo.

 

Was it ever released in America?

 

yeah under the name 'sonic 3D blast'

 

Oh yea, I remember that game. Why such a late release in Japan?

 

my god people, learn to read! I said WAY earlier in the discussion, 1996 release (PAL), Sonic Blast in US!

Gaijin i'm gonna pm you

 

Whoa, I'm terribly sorry that i missed that. Maybe I will "Learn to read" when you learn to calm down. No need to get angry, we are just talking. Nobody is perfect, we all make mistakes. Once again, I am sorry that I missed that, and next time I will slow down when I am reading. :smt023

Anitpasta: Yeah, I got it. I've just switched to Firefox, which bloks popupsl So, everyone remember that if I don't reply to PMs quickly.
