Sega’s Sonic Origins<\/em> collection will bring Sonic the Hedgehog<\/em>, <\/em>Sonic the Hedgehog 2<\/em>, Sonic 3 & Knuckles<\/em>, and Sonic CD<\/em> to current gaming platforms on June 23, the publisher announced Wednesday. (That’s Sonic the Hedgehog’s canonical birthday, if you want to get him a gift card. )<\/p>\n

Sonic Origins<\/em> will be released digitally for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X, and will cost $39.99. A “Digital Deluxe” version with extra perks, including more challenging missions, special character animations, and music tracks from other Genesis titles, will cost $44.99. <\/p>\n

Inside the four Sega Genesis-era Sega Genesis games, Sonic Origins <\/em> will have a variety of special features like an Anniversary Mode that displays widescreen images and allows players to earn medallions for completing challenging missions. Sega released a screenshot Wednesday :<\/p>\n

Medallions can be spent on content from an in-game vault, to try out special stages, and other items. A digital pre-order bonus offer includes 100 medallions, as well as Mirror Mode and a Mega Drive-style letter box. <\/p>\n

Sega announced Sonic Origins<\/em> last May, during Sega’s Sonic Central livestream. The new collection is notable for its inclusion of or NeSonic 3 & Knuckles<\/em>, a Genesis game that has recently been excluded as part of classic Sonic the Hedgehog rereleases. Sonic 3<\/em> was not included as part of the Sega Genesis Mini library (though Sonic Spinball<\/em> was), nor was it given the Sega Ages treatment for Nintendo Switch, the way Sonic the Hedgehog<\/em> and Sonic the Hedgehog 2<\/em> were. <\/p>\n

Sonic fans have speculated, without confirmation from Sega, that Sonic 3 & Knuckles<\/em>‘ rerelease is complicated by thorny music rights. Sega did not approve of Sega’s use of some of Jackson’s songs in the Genesis game’s music. Some rereleases of Sonic 3<\/em> (like the 1997 Windows PC port) have featured different music tracks, said to have been swapped in from an earlier version of the game. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
