iam8bit just announced a $100 reprint of Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for Sega Genesis. I think it's a massive rip-off and loot box scam. In this video, I break down what's actually included in this collector's edition re-release, compare it to original pricing and other reprints, and explain why I think iam8bit is overcharging fans for nostalgia.
We'll cover:
- What's included in the iam8bit Sonic 1 & 2 Genesis reprint
- Why this $100 price tag doesn't add up
- iam8bit's history of pricing collector's editions (and why this isn't a one-off)
- Whether this re-release is actually worth it for collectors and fans
- Better alternatives if you want to play Sonic 1 & 2 on original hardware
If you're a Sega Genesis collector, retro gaming fan, or just curious about iam8bit's reprint pricing, this video is for you.
- Like this video if you agree iam8bit needs to rethink their pricing

- Let me know in the comments: would you pay $100 for this?
