Update: Sonic & Knuckles and Sonic 3 will be widescreen like the other releases in the collection.
SEGA announced during its Sonic 30th anniversary stream that they will be releasing a classic 2D Sonic collection titled Sonic Origins. The collection will make its debut next year and includes Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Sonic & Knuckles and Sonic CD all in full HD for current platforms. You can check out a teaser which was showcased during the event down below!
Oh wow, more re-releases.
That’s Nintendo’s bread n butter my guy.
Pretty sure you mean Sega.
Nahh I meant Nintendo
What part of this re-hash do you think is Nintendo’s doing?
Well if you want my honest opinion I was just stating that Nintendo is the King of re-releases. Every generation they port retro or older games for a modern price. I mean it’s, Nintendo so their ports are usually good quality (still to pricey). I know it has nothing to do with Sonic, but I don’t care :)
Seems Sega had the sense to port Taxman’s excellent widescreen remakes this time rather than simply slap a ROM and an emulator on a disc and call it a remaster as in the last 1,384 times they ported Sonic 2.
But why not give Sonic 3 the same treatment? Didn’t they have Sonic 3 & Knuckles running in the retro engine like 8 years ago? The 4:3 sticks out like a sore thumb next to the others. Baffling as always, Sega
Someone at Sega confirmed the S3&K clip was a placeholder and it’s actually widescreen
Can confirm. I saw the tweet
they should at the very least include the HD editions in addition to these, since those still dont have a physical release yet. I would love the updated version of Sonic CD with the switchable soundtracks and playable Tails. the Sonic 4 episodes would be a nice bonus as well for similar reasons
This is wonderful news to see Taxman’s remasters of Sonic 1 and 2 finally coming to console. And 3K also getting the remaster treatment. I guess this is what we’re getting instead of Mania 2 – that would have been cool but I’ll take this.
Sonic’s actual origins: Christmas Island
Doing who knows what against Eggman, we may never know?
As expected it’s just the same megadrive games again that have been rereleased a million times. Not surprised just disappointed
Now do this for sonic adventure, sonic adventure 2 and sonic heroes.
sonic mega collection and sonic gems on the gamecube had more games on their disc than this. Shame sega,what a shame
No Knuckle’s Chaotix. I mean in this re-re-release, they’ve couldn’t like add Chaotix?
