Sonic Adventure 2 Battle

Sega's port of Sonic Adventure 2 to the Nintendo GameCube. Released in 2002, it is the second game from Sega for the GameCube (the first being Super Monkey Ball) and the second Sonic the Hedgehog game to appear on a Nintendo machine (the first being Sonic Advance for the Game Boy Advance).

The game is identical to its Dreamcast cousin with a few exceptions...

• Emphasis on multiplayer modes
• Advanced Chao raising data
• VMU capabilities removed and replaced with Game Boy Advance link to Sonic Advance and Sonic Advance 2
• Distribution of emblems tweaked to make the game more difficult
• Of course, all references to Dreamcast stuff (controllers, VMU, etc.) have been replaced with Nintendo counterparts
• Big the Cat cameos have been removed

For info on the game itself, check out the Sonic Adventure 2 node. Tracking down this GameCube port is quite easy as it is readily available as part of Nintendo's Player's Choice program, meaning that it has been re-released at a low price.
