I wonder how Sega will handle the timeline after Sonic Chronicles (assuming it's canon). It's supposed to take two years after Sonic defeats Eggman, right? So, I guess one could presume that Sonic isn't 15 anymore...I hope Sega doesn't screw that up in any upcoming Sonic games that take place after Sonic Chronicles assuming the RPG is canon...

Bioware said they're going to try and explain previously unexplained events and fix up the timeline somewhat with Chronicles, so I sort of hope Chronicles is canon, but I don't like the idea of the timeframe being spelled out. Sonic characters shouldn't get older...

I don't care about them getting older. I honestly wouldn't mind that. I just care about the series plotholes that Sega managed to create. Like the moon from Sonic Adventure 2 automatically being back to normal, or why the hell Eggman Nega is either siding with Eggman (Rush games) and an enemy of Eggman (Rivals games).

As far as I'm concerned, Sonic 06 and the Rush games are non-canon.
And even Sonic X provided and explanation for the moon... Why can't SEGA?

When Sonic X provides explanations for things and you don't, then you know you're screwed.

Maybe. Sonic 06 probably isn't canon to begin with. That's the only explanation as to how Elise got that Emerald. Silver can't have just given it to her in the past, because how would that emerald been used in all the previous installments? It just doesn't add up. But what about Sonic Rush? I'm just asking, but why do you believe it's not canon? And even Sonic X provided and explanation for the moon... Why can't SEGA?
Really? What did they say?

Oh woops. I meant Rivals, not Rush. Too many Sonic R___ games. And even Sonic X provided and explanation for the moon... Why can't SEGA?
Really? What did they say? I forget mostly. In one episode... Eggman repaired it, and I think it was actually part of a trap. The half of the moon he repaired was made of tech, and he used it for.. Something. Oh yeah. I think he made it constantly block out the sun. So he could sell these devices people placed outside their homes for sun-quality light, and they also served as mind control devices.

Ugh, Sega needs to get their head out of their ass and tell the fans what the hell is going on the the continuity of the Sonic franchise. -_-

You know, the only Sonic games I can think of that haven't been released in a compilation yet are Knuckles Chaotix and SegaSonic. I think if Sega could release a Saturn compilation with NiGHTS, Panzer Dragoon, etc and with those as unlockables I think they would make quite a bit of money in sales. Hell with just NiGHTS they'd get sales just as good as how Sonic CD raked in sales for Sonic Gems Collection.

They're already remaking/porting the original NiGHTS for the PS2.

The Japanese Sonic Team is doing that, right?

I have no idea.
Though the problems with NiGHTS 2 were more in the new ideas, and the fact that analog sticks in Nintendo controllers generally don't allow perfect circle motion. The plastic part is shaped like an octogon or something, so flying was less smooth.
NiGHTS port/remake won't have either of those problems. But don't get your hopes up, it might not even come to North America.
Anyway, yes, SEGAsonic and Chaotix are the only non-compilation Sonic games predating Sonic Adventure that have yet to be in a Sonic collection.
Though even with other SEGA games, they wouldn't really hold their own. Critics would probably score them lower for scraping the bottom of the barrel, so it would be better to just include them as side things in a future real Sonic title like they did with SADX.
Sonic Adventure DX had... Sonic 1 Gamegear Sonic 2 Gamegear Sonic Chaos Mean Beam Machine Gamegear Sonic Drift Spinball Gamegear Sonic Triple Trouble Sonic Drift 2 Tails Sky Patrol Tails Adventure Sonic Labrynth Sonic Blast Gamegear
Sonic Mega Collection had... Sonic 1 Genesis Sonic 2 Genesis Sonic Spinball Genesis Mean Bean Machine Genesis Sonic 3 Sonic & Knuckles Sonic 3D Blast
Sonic Gems Collection had... Sonic CD Sonic the Fighters Sonic R
I know some of those had more, but I didn't count them if they had been put in a collection already.
