March was Genesis month at SEGAbits, but it looks like we love the Genesis too much to stop talking about it! On our two podcasts this week, we kept up the 16-bit spirit by focusing on Sonic’s early titles. In episode 59 of the Swingin’ Report Show, George and Barry are joined by Sonic Retro’s Bartman to look back on Sonic’s spin-offs: Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine, Sonic the Hedgehog Spinball, Sonic 3D Blast and, only because Bartman brought it up, Wacky Worlds.

SEGA Channel Retro Highlights: Sonic Lost World Zelda DLC and Sonic on your PC
On our most recent SEGA Channel Retro stream, we got to check out the DLC for the recently released Legend of Zelda Zone for Sonic Lost World. If you think that’s old news, then how about going old school? We also took a look back at SEGA’s attempts at bringing the blue blur to PC with sister site SEGAbits during their Genesis month with a look at Sonic & Knuckles Collection and Sonic 3D Blast (Or Flickies Island if you’re THAT guy…) complete with the awkward bonus stages. We even got a look at SEGA Smash Pack 1 and 2 on PC that features an interesting, exclusive screen resolution for the 2 Player VS. mode in Sonic the Hedgehog 2. All this and more is currently rehosted on our YouTube channel. You can also watch the original, uncut stream on our Twitch page here.
