As much as I enjoyed Jon's contribution to Nintendolife, his move back to his original RUclips channel allowed him to discuss his passion for video games outside Nintendo.
That is definitely quite the collection of Sonic games, Jon; I am almost envious at that, and the fact you have made this channel 1/3 a Sonic-tube channel. Any chance of you guys ever doing an 8-bits episode of Sonic?
I wish I could say the same, my first console was the Master System followed by the Mega Drive (Genesis in the US) and Sonic was the first franchise I fell in love with. But sadly I did not get all Sega consoles nor keep anything until the Dreamcast, which I lent to a friend who ruined it. (Former, but that's not the reason why.) I also only ever had Sonic 1-3 and & Knuckles and turned my head towards the Nintendo 64 after the Mega Drive era meaning I never knew the Saturn era of Sonic. I do keep most games and consoles now, though, and do have a majority of the series on GBA, Gamecube, PS2, PS3 and Switch. I haven't really double-dipped, but I did start collecting the PS3/360 era Sonic games on the 360 before switching over to the PS3 versions. And I'm now tempted, since I've been getting the latest era of Sonic game on Switch, to double-dip and get them on my PS5 now. I do enjoy the series enough to double-dip, so I don't mind. Anyways, loved seeing your collection and I always enjoy these random videos from Jon. Please keep them coming. 🤣
The most notable Sonic games I own are both the Sega Pico releases! A US release Sonic's Gameworld and UK release of Tails and the Music Maker. Only bought them because I randomly found a boxed Sega Pico in a pawn shop for £45 while out shopping one day, getting it home on the train was a big struggle lol
At one point I also started collecting the Japanese boxed releases of the old games. Mostly because of their wild cover arts! Some of them are surprisingly cheap to get (some others, not so much!)
That Mega Man joke at the start hurt a little bit. I love Sonic (my first console was a Saturn), but Mega Man is near and dear to my heart, my favorite series.
What about the SEGA Classics Collection games for the 3DS? I would suggest getting those in the near future. Volume 2 is the only way to get a physical release of Sonic the Hedgehog 3D Classic. Additionally, I'm also pretty sure that Volume 3 (Japan exclusive) has Sonic the Hedgehog 2 3D Classic. The PAL release of Volume 2 is still pretty reasonably priced, but I imagine it will steadily increase in the future after the 3DS eshop shuts down and people realise it's the only (?) official way to play Fantasy Zone II W - which by itself makes the collection worth it..
Here is my collection: Digital Sonic 1 2 3 and Knuckles (Wii) 06 Unleased SA1DX SA2B (360 Physical Heroes Shadow Riders (GameCube) Secret Rings (Wii) SA1 and SA2 (Dreamcast)
Think the only ones I’ve not played are knuckles chaotix, school house, Shuffle, pocket adventure, the rivals games and the Kinect riders games. I’m really sad I don’t have the means to play the advance games anymore
Hey Jon. Could you look over Conduit 2 on the Wii one of these days? I feel it is a highly underrated Wii exclusive that doesn't get nearly enough praise. Just a real solid FPS.
Got that one... oh, that one too... I'd try to get the GG and MS games but I don't have the consoles so... Also, my Sonic 2 is weird: box without cover, PAL manual and japanese sticker on the cartridge
Sooooo, you're saying you like Sonic games 🤪 That is a great collection. Though for me the gamecube SA1 and SA2 were the best for their time. I regret trading those. I clocked a lot of hours with those. But now Generation takes the lead and probably Frontiers will soon.
*nice collection Jon but you need to get the Japanese Mega Drive games as they have nicer and different boxes and maybe a JAP Mega Drive as they are cheap now in order to play them full screen and full speed sir!* 💡
I would like to thank Jon for making GVG his Sonic dumping ground. Please, from a Sonic fan, never stop Sonic-ing.
Agreed 👍
Fun fact, this channel was originally his personal channel, but he donated it to GVG when they needed a place to stay

@@KiraKiraK1lla Yeah, I was there when this was just Jon’s channel. What a humble start.
@@KiraKiraK1lla He's an incredibly smart dude
If Jon collects two more versions of Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed and then collects 50 rings, he will become Super Jon!
Jon out here being a positive force in the Sonic community and we love to see it!
I'm really happy jon's here.
He's been making most of my favorite videos on this channel.
Collection tour videos are some of my favorite content. That's a mighty impressive Sonic haul, Jon! Keep up the great work.
I remember your “game for every smash character” back on Nintendo Life and I am so happy you’re doing more stuff like this. 😊

Maybe! Got a few grab bag 8 Bits episodes lined up but can for sure look into a Sonic one later
@@GVG Thank you 🤩
Always enjoyable to see Jon collection videos. Keep em coming!
We don't talk about the official sonic 4 though.
I kinda want to play them all after seeing the collection
I mean 3 is technically the 4th game because of CD
Just a small update since I saw a short, Jon did end up getting Sonic Genesis for GBA for his birthday. Complete too!

I completely forgot that Zero Gravity released on PS2. It's crazy how long the PS2 lasted after the PS3 released.
Yeah, it really is a strange anomaly. In fact the PS2 version never released in Japan despite the fact it was being made by a Japanese developer.
I love this collection so much!
The GC ver. of SADX and SA2B are the best because of the unique connectivity with the GBA bridges all 6 Chao Gardens.
Pretty good collection!! Having 5 different copies of Sonic Racing Transformed is truly astonishing feat
That Mega Man joke at the start hurt a little bit.
I love Sonic (my first console was a Saturn), but Mega Man is near and dear to my heart, my favorite series.
Had NO IDEA there were this many Sonic games! Wow!
Beautiful Collection Jon. I so regret giving away my Megadrive, Master System Converter and 32x with a nice collection of Sonic games to go with them.
Sorry to hear that you’re dying Jon 😔 You’re flowing with time, you’re flowing into the light. Disappearing.....

Here is my collection:
Digital Sonic 1 2 3 and Knuckles (Wii) 06 Unleased SA1DX SA2B (360
Physical Heroes Shadow Riders (GameCube) Secret Rings (Wii) SA1 and SA2 (Dreamcast)
One hell of a Sonic day today.
Think the only ones I’ve not played are knuckles chaotix, school house, Shuffle, pocket adventure, the rivals games and the Kinect riders games. I’m really sad I don’t have the means to play the advance games anymore
No mention of Sonic Colors Ultimate?
You don't have Sonic Riders Zero Gravity?? It's one of the best racing games ever
I can't stop staring at the EU box for 3D Blast... its.... something.
If you haven’t played sa2 on an original Dreamcast, you haven’t lived
I am so much of a Sonic fan I ordered Sonic X on bluray and I don't even have a US bluray player to play It on.
I've been working towards a complete collection, and so far my show piece is a full in box copy of Wacky Worlds Creative Studio.
I’ll always come for the Sonic content
So jealousy right now, never stop Jon!
They should just make this the Jon channel
One could say it's a Mega Collection.
hey jon can you show your puyo puyo collection?
YESSSSS JON AND SONIC, COULD THERE BE A BETTER DUO!?!??!?!?!?!
I loved this John
A super sonic thank you to you
My question Jon is - have you played and beaten all the Sonic games in your collection at least once? :)
Mostly! A few 8 Bit spinoff I haven't finished but pretty confident I've done everything else
10:53 that was a dark ending
Hey Jon. Could you look over Conduit 2 on the Wii one of these days? I feel it is a highly underrated Wii exclusive that doesn't get nearly enough praise. Just a real solid FPS.

The Master System games are secretly the best ones. The slower pace makes them better platformers in my view
Showing up to my wedding 🛌
Showing up to another Sonic video by Jon 🤵
Got that one... oh, that one too... I'd try to get the GG and MS games but I don't have the consoles so...
Also, my Sonic 2 is weird: box without cover, PAL manual and japanese sticker on the cartridge
Nice collection bro
How does he have almost every Sonic game while I'm stuck with the digital versions of the Xbox 360 trilogy ?
Sonic Pocket Adventure Sweep!!!
Do you die inside a little bit every time you buy another Sonic game that ends up being a disaster?
No US only release "Sonic the Hedgehog Genesis" on the GBA Jon? I don't blame you lol
I’m not so sure if having a collection of sonic games is something to brag about
There is a reason sonic 3 is actually 4. It's because sonic cd is cannon in the original trilogy
Hello Scott the Woz.
Love your collection 💙💙💙
Got sonic 1 complete in box for Xmas and on Xmas day I’m getting another sonic game!
Edit: for the Genesis not Megadrive
Disappointed you don't seem to have Sonic the Hedgehog 2 through Sega Genesis - Nintendo Switch Online.
Nice collection !
Sooooo, you're saying you like Sonic games 🤪
That is a great collection. Though for me the gamecube SA1 and SA2 were the best for their time. I regret trading those. I clocked a lot of hours with those. But now Generation takes the lead and probably Frontiers will soon.
Hello Jon 👋
Sonic or Mario can never decide both are so cool though🙂🙂🙂✨️🎇🎆🎆
I’m so jealous 😂
I jon too howwww
NGAGE! #ChocoTacoSupremacy
