Sonic the Hedgehog 3 was released 19 years ago, February 2nd, 1994, in the U.S. Because the game was released on that particular day, its publisher, Sega, says the second of February is “Hedgehog Day.” Via its official blog, Sega yesterday said that, although it’s not ready to go into any specifics, great Sonic ‘stuff’ are coming this year. Although this is just a rumor for now, sources who claim to be close to Sega said that a new Sonic game for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS will be revealed this month.
On February 2nd in 1994, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 was released in the US, and it was dubbed “Hedgehog Day”. For the past few years, we’ve revived this day as a holiday for all Sonic fans. We’ve got some great stuff coming up this year, but we’re not ready to talk about it just yet.
Sonic 3 and Knuckles is my favorite platformer of all time!
I have faith in SEGA
Generations and Colors were pretty damn awesome
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles is my favorite Sonic game! ^__^
Mine too!
please be a 3DS remake of these two… PLEASE!!!
Wow, you have low standards when it comes to good platformers. Sonic 3 has aged.
You Sonic fans aren’t covered in wool, you LIVE in it!
I can’t wait to see what Nintendo idea SEGAss steals next! I mean it’s been happening since the Genesis vs Super Nintendo era!
Sonic 3 and Knuckles has aged pretty damn well apart from the graphics
Such a tease~
ANNOUNCE THE GAME ALREADY!
no you have to wait
yes! :D
I was expecting something… maybe not Adventure 3 like lots of fans wishes (Adventure 3 was Heroes, (and 4th was) / or Sonic 06)
But I was expecting seeing the hedgehog on the Wii U for Real (ASR Transformed was a party game so it doesn’t counts as a Sonic game)
Sonic 3 & Knuckles. One of Sega’s best games of all time. This sounds interesting since I’ve been a fan of the char since his genesis days
knuckles was my first old sonic game it was so cheap on the xbox market place and it was like 2$ and i was like this game is probably the worst sonic game, nope the best and then 3
They are not going to bother with exclusives on Nintendo platforms save for Mario & Sonic.
Hey Aeolus, I’m just curious.
What gaming consoles/handhelds do you own?
Everything currently on the market excluding 360 and Wii U.
Cool
I own a PS2, PS3, Gamecube, Wii, GBA, DS, 3DS
Damn, Aeolus’ got dough!!
That’s a pretty vague answer…
In response to Aeolus-
Sonic games generally sell better on Nintendo consoles (ironically), so this is great to hear that Sonic’s over rated ass won’t have anymore Nintendo exclusive games. We don’t want the bastard anymore! Fuckers!
“Sonic games generally sell better on Nintendo consoles (ironically)”
No, they don’t.
Yes they do and there is evidence.
No, VGChartz is not evidence.
Yea i forgot sega deleted from history all the exclusive sonic games they have done on Nintendo consoles and handhelds.
I think he was talking about in the future, but either way he’s wrong. SEGA has always given Nintendo console quality exclusives, I don’t see why that tradition would end with Wii U.
Exclusives like…Oh, Colors and those low budget storybook games. Safe to say after Generations they don’t see much point in that anymore.
Ah, Sonic Colors?
So? That’s 2010. Before Sega’s shift in focus. Wii never got Generations and that’s fact. 3DS on the other hand got a cruddy 2.5D version from Dimps (LOL) that was made in 6 months.
Pathetic.
Except the 3DS version was the Generations of the Handheld Sonic. So you’re incorrect in that department. Besides Dimps made the Sonic Advance and Sonic Rush games which were very great games.
The fact is, it was watered down crud that only existed because Nintendo fans kept bitching, the plot was identical and the game sucked.
Pfft, you really are sad little crettin.
Sonic Adventure 3 Battle!!! Thats ALL I WANT!!
http://youtu.be/WuGsRmEEx6s?t=7m30s
This is Sonic adventure 3.
Have fun!
Here’s another video of it. and it’s already been out for 6 years!
http://youtu.be/ze582VGaAkY
A game that uses the mechanics of Sonic 3 and Knuckles I assume. Be nice to hunt down both the chaos and super emeralds again
Guy lets not celebrateor have good opinions about this cause,aeolus, adarazz and jellybean will start saying there is all lies (even though they are rummors) but you guys know how they are trying to down play everything Nintendo.
sonic games suck now, colors was the best new one and it wasnt that good, to much like mario for a sonic game, make a good one like how you used too or one like adventure 2 , i think nintendo should make a sonic game and sega should make a mario game just to change things up
HOW have recent Sonic games been SIMILAR to Mario?
Are you telling me that any platformer game will be too much like Mario?
Look fucker. it only takes a covered in wool fanboy to think Colors is original. A developer said himself that Colors was designed to play like a Mario game…if it wasn’t obvious already!
yes, seriously, colors, not anything else, just that game, it didnt feel like a sonic game to me and felt like mario, what was annoying, when did i say newer sonic games, and even the developers said it, so im not wrong
Quote him.
…that’s what I thought, dumb***
If you actually did your research, Colors got its inspiration from the day time levels of Unleashed. Stop being such a dick to people.
And I’m replying to SEGA’s sorry aka SEGA troll.
Also, if you hadn’t noticed, your name is flawed. SEGA is a company, not a developer. They publish their games and oversee development.
So try harder, 11 year old troll who cannot admit the fact that Sonic was once popular than Mario back in his “glory days”. Grow up.
fucking shut up fanboy old sonic games are awsome, fag, sega is garbage now episode 1 and 2 are you kidding me, i didnt know there was such thing as a sega fanboy now, get over it i really do hope that sega can pull off a great new sonic game, generations was just old levels wasnt it mostly, i played a demo and thought that was awsome and felt like a great sonic game and just because im on anintendo sight doesnt mean i like mario dip shit fuck you nintendo is the same with its mario games really, when you look at the new series get rid of it there not different enough i thought the sega nintendo hate was over but i was wrong, get over it,
sorry haha
just assumed you were talking to me, just did this to someone else, haha, people on this
First I would like to say that paragraph is an absolute disaster. I know English isn’t your first language, but if you want to be taken seriously you’re going to have to have much better spelling and grammar (this is not intended to be racist, please don’t perceive that way).
Anyway, I don’t try to “down play everything Nintendo”. I may criticize for time to time when I truly believe they are making a mistake or bad decision Nintendo is not a perfect company by any means and just because people like yourself, Unation, and Rey Hardy are blind to that, doesn’t mean everyone else is as well.
I know you will find this hard to believe but I actually like Nintendo. I bought a Wii U on launch day, that is more than you can claim to. Please realize just because I have a different opinion on Nintendo and the video game industry doesn’t make me wrong.
Let them be blind, this is a site dedicated to the fanboys. Now we are all going to the super bowl and tell the 49 ers we they make a touch down they have to be quiet cause the visitors fans will be sad.
I don’t think they’re blind to that except they just defend what they like; but who are you to tell them what not to like and force your ideas/opinions on them? Just like you can’t stop trolls from trolling. There’s a market for everything y’know even shit.
My god your english is horrible. If you couldn’t spell, you could have at least used spell check.
Don’t say that. Now he’ll think your a racist.
The proven recist here is you now about his commemt tramar check on my phone is lock in spanish meaning that it only spell check in spanish.no you dont critisice Nintendo from time to time you do it always and in each post, you also critisice unation for insults even though your first reply to every positive comment is are you stupid.
it just didn’t feel like a sonic game to me POWER UPS, STOPPING TO DO PLATFORMS and i think nintendo sucks, from what they used to be, have any of you played the fucking super nintendo , and you cant say the wii sucked, and nintendo of america fucking sucks how am a fanboy, skyward sword sucked NSMB sucks and is fucking getting old, kirby is for kids, and im sorry for the spelling, im not checking and need keyboard practice, probably have dyslexia or something i know how to spell, sometimes i see i spelled the words wrong and like what the fuck i didnt type it in like that, or its because i dont go on the computer a lot, because its boring, more stuff to do and, im purposely making my sentences shorter we are not in school and i dont care, you fucking nerd, if you want me to use fucking complete sentences fine you fucking piece of shit, is everybody on here so annoying, is there anything else you want me to fix, do you want me to praise pc or something or how the grass is green, accusing somebody of not being in this country because the way they spell, i didnt think i spelled that bad or my grammar on here anyway
Dude, he was talking to Nintenlord, not you.
Yeah man, I so want to downplay Nintendo, I must hate them. I mean, I’m buying a Wii U in 2 months and have 7 3DS games on pre order! JESUS CHRIST I MUST DESPISE NINTENDO OR SOMETHING!
figured that out after looking at it more, but people on this sight just piss me off sometimes i just you hate nintendo you are a troll, you are a fanboy, just because your not a total suck up
Was this in reply to this comment or my other one? But I agree, I mean it’s easy to tell who is a fanboy & troll, but some people go overboard in the labelling.
Just because i defend Nintendo from people that should not be here im a fan? Yes Yes i am but of gaming i own each console and know the plus and negatives of each one and wen a idiot comedia here bashing Nintendo and i say what those negatives thing are im being a fan boy? So if you like so much sony and have the need to defend them why not go to the ign forums or other multyplat site?
How many want to bet it’ll either be SA3, or S4 III/ S5?
Hey sega, how about making “good” sonic games once in a while.
Generations was great and Colors was decent, in my opinion. Not sure what you consider a “good” Sonic game though.
“Decent” but not “good”, right? Further proving my point.
Sonic Colors and Sonic Generations are great Sonic games to play after the “bad” years of Sonic. They are little short, but fun to play.
I think they’ve all lost their touch; needs to go back to the drawing board. I have to admit, some of Nintendo’s new releases haven’t been as expected either. Maybe they’ll recover though. It ain’t just N, the longer the franchise go, they lose touch. Think Silent Hill, RE, Tomb Raider, Twisted Metal, and so on.
Sonic. Shuffle. 2.
I hope we’ll see something of a Classic Sonic game this year.
Sweet, although i still rhink they should go for a different gameplay style.
Sonic 3 and Knuckles is my favorite Sonic game of all time. I replayed so many times. I have been playing it since 1994 up until 2011, I think. I am thinking about playing it again. :)
Please be a Sonic adventure 3 or heroes 2. Please?
SA2 is my favorite Sonic Game Of All Time. Love The Chaos!
That would be the first time in some years..

If Sega ever made a great game, I’d be shocked. Though that’s not a fair thing to say, since I don’t hate them now like I used to. And some of their games do seem interesting (such as Super Monkey Ball). I’ve just never been a Sonic fan. I like the character of Sonic (and I like to collect Sonic figures etc.). I just don’t like Sonic GAMES. I always hated how fast he runs. I can’t control the damn guy. He runs all out of control and I get motion sick from it. Everything spins by too fast.
I always thought SEGA was out of their minds in the past when they had those commercials comparing the Genesis to the Super NES, and they acted like the speed of Sonic games was what made them better than Super Mario World etc. The speed is what RUINED Sonic games for me! Well, I also hate the robotic themes and stage layouts (whatever you call it) in the games.
All I want is a 3D Sonic game that is all about Sonic trying to beat Eggman/Robotnik no matter what machine he makes for himself, only more variations during the boss fights.
No more stupid pokemon copycrap or human cities.
When you say that it’s coming to Wii U and 3DS you mean that the Game is EXCLUSIVE? or multiplatform and the Wii U & 3DS are included?,
I wouldn’t mind a 3rd Sonic Rush game to be honest
I love how people are still on the “everything sonic related sucks” bandwagon that was broken ever since 2010. Anyway, Sonic 3 & Knuckles is definitely my favorite platformer of all time, and goes down in my Top 3 favorite games of all time. And I’m not even an overall big fan of Sonic.
You got the thing
Is sonic 1 and 2 and 3 on the wii u?
