Sonic Generations Coming to the 3DS in November 2011

June 1st, 2011 by Staf

Sega has confirmed that Sonic Generations will indeed be coming to the Nintendo 3DS system and they gave a rough release date of November 2011. It’s nice to see that Nintendo will still be getting some Sonic love.

We’re excited to confirm that Sonic Generations will be released on the Nintendo 3DS  in November 2011! Set across three defining eras from Sonic the Hedgehog’s twenty year history, Sonic Generations for Nintendo 3DS will see SEGA’s mascot speeding through new stereoscopic 3D levels designed exclusively for the handheld console.

“Sonic Generations for Nintendo 3DS will combine brand new technology and twenty years of Sonic the Hedgehog videogame heritage” commented David Corless, Global Brand Director for Sonic.  “Couple this with the ability to play as both Classic and Modern Sonic and you have the perfect gaming celebration for the landmark anniversary of our much loved mascot”

The specifically designed Nintendo 3DS environments, based on iconic levels from popular Sonic the Hedgehog titles, will include an exclusive unlockable ‘Special Stage’ allowing players to become even more immersed in Sonic’s world.  Sonic Generations for Nintendo 3DS will also take advantage of the StreetPass™ feature by enabling players to collect new content and unlock bonus material each time they pass another player.  In addition to this, the new two-player versus mode means fans can battle it out across some of the most recognizable Sonic environments in a completely new way.

Sonic Generations for Nintendo 3DS follows the same storyline as the previously announced platforms, with Sonic and his friends pulled back through time due to a mysterious new power which is causing chaos throughout the universe by creating strange “time holes”.  Sonic Generations will be available for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3,  Nintendo 3DS  in November 2011.

For more information please visit www.sonicthehedgehog.com/generations

This now gives us an official confirmation on the Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and Nintendo 3DS versions. Which will you be picking up and playing later this year? Share your thoughts on this at our forums!

New Teaser Revealed On the Sonic Facebook Page

April 7th, 2011 by Staf

The official Sonic the Hedgehog Facebook page has updated with a teaser for an upcoming game. The trailer starts out with Sonic running through a Green Hill style area. Suddenly a second Sonic starts running along the first one. Why the second? The first Sonic is the Sonic that we are all familiar with, while the second one is classic Genesis era Sonic, complete with short spines and black eyes. It then gives a launch date of 2011 and lists the Xbox 360 and PS3 as consoles.

What could this game be about? Perhaps the rumors of classic levels being redone in 3D is true. Feel free to speculate in our forums!
