Sonic The Hedgehog 2006 - Gutted!

Hey Guys!

I just found out some interesting facts about Sonic 2K6 and how awesome the game could have been had it been released a year further down the line:

Super Sonic would have been playable with the 'Rainbow Gem' which was removed because of timelines:

The game would have been glitch free, run faster, have a day and night feature and just look more impressive:

There would also have been more playable characters and episodes instead of the heavily reduced selection:

Music from alll of the past Sonic's would have been available and Metal Sonic would also have been playable!

Here is some interesting screenshots too:

As you can tell I am SOO gutted that this game was not as Epic and excellent as it could have been.

Any views/opinions?
