as ive stated, the ps2 release of sonic gems collection sold extremely poorly here compared to teh orignal cube releae, however it sold well in europe thats why its getting a release over there, one of those rare instasance where europe gets a good exclusive, sadly they didnt bother to leave bonanza bros and streets of rage games in the cube pal version since it was easier for them just to convert the us version.
Cube exclusive in the States. SOA and SOE can make different deals with NOA and NOE respectively. Exclusive in one market does not always equal exclusive in another. -hl718
