Wondered this for a while, collected and added Sonic 1, Sonic 2, Sonic CD as well as the 2 Sonic Adventure games on my PSN account, yet for some reason they have never added Sonic 3 nor Sonic & Knuckles, same goes for Android & IPhone, it's pretty much the same selection of Sonic games as the PS Store etc. Any reason for this do you think, why would they not get round to releasing Sonic 3 & Sonic & Knuckles in the same way?

Admittedly I could put in Sonic Mega Collection Plus or Sega Mega Drive Collection for this, but I was just wondering..

Sonic games you can get

Sonic 1 (1991)
Sonic 2 (1992)
Sonic CD (1993)
Sonic Adventure (1999)
Sonic Adventure 2 (2001)
Sonic Unleashed (2008)
Sonic Generations (2010)
Sonic 4: Episode 1 (2010)
Sonic 4: Episode 2 (2012)


Ones you don't seem to be able to get except on physical media

Sonic 3 (1994)
Sonic & Knuckles (1994)
Sonic 3D: Flickies Island (1996)
Sonic R (1995)
Sonic Heroes (2003)
Sonic The Hedgehog (2006)
Sonic Advance games, Sonic Rush etc
Sonic's Sega Master System games, although you can get Alex Kidd In Miracle World on the PS Store but not Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle


Would like to have Sonic 3 particularly and in terms of Sega's other games, they don't seem to be interested in releasing the likes of Super Monkey Ball Deluxe which would be a good little game for the PS Store, Crazy Taxi has a release and an upgraded 720 version for PS3 as well!

Probably licensing issues.

Probably assests in the game(s) where sega don't have the licence anymore to have the games out still. Could even be something as stupid as a sample used in the music.
