SEGA should have stuck to that format instead of trying to fuck around with 3D and subsequently delaying everything to do with that properly until the Dreamcast.
They also should have done a 2D game on the Saturn, which they could have had they decided not to fuck with Chaotix and put it on the 32X.
Shame that we'll never really get any more early Sonic 3 stuff though, getting that prototype was hard enough due to how locked down development was. At least we got this out of it, if only they used it for Origins. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkcPFsyNP8I
