@Yawackhary Didn't the distribution rights return to Sega? I recall reading about that after THQ came back from the dead.

Reminder that Sonic Advance is older now than Sonic 1 was when Mega Collection released, and there's still no re-release of the Advance games in sight. Utter BS.

@Danny Jarguin THQ had distribution rights to the Advance series outside of Japan and they went under in 2012, the rumour being that the paperwork is missing. Also Advance 1 & 2 were published by Infogrames in Europe/Australia and while they didn't go under the company was split (it became Atari, the distribution side later became Bandai Namco Europe somewhere in the mid-late 2000s while the publishing side became messy due to so many changeovers over at Atari).

Personally I don't believe Sega losing the rights to their own games but it is what people had said. It would be a Sega move though if it was true.

i will never understand why Advance 1, this and 3 were only exclusive to Japan
