XBLA: Sonic & Knuckles XBLA Bound, Complete With Lock-On Technology
Dutch website SegaOnline has gotten its hands on some supposed leaked screenshots of Sonic & Knuckles for Xbox Live Arcade. Much like their previous leaks they've turned out to be quite real.
The screen shot simply shows the interface of the Sega Vintage Collection design, but clearly shows the ability to "Lock-On" with Sonic 1, 2 or 3 from within the game. This ability was completely omitted from the retail Ultimate Genesis Collection with a large outcry from fans who wanted the feature, to play Sonic 3 & Knuckles like it was meant to be.
Whether or not this screenshot is real like the others is currently unknown, but considering the track record of things getting leaked for Xbox Live Arcade it would not be surprising at all.

Excellent! Seems like that message requires you to own the other game for the lock on technology to occur, which makes sense.
The series on XBLA still lacks leaderboards...which is a feature that could add a near infinite amount of life to the title.
I have this game bought many times over on many platforms, so I'll probably pass. But with leaderboards (points, time, points + time; for each level) I wouldn't hesitate.
