Sega Announces Sonic Classic Collection Quote: If you haven't had your fill of classic Sonic the Hedgehog on every other platform, then Sega has you covered. The publisher has announced that they will once again be bundling together their mascot's classic adventures, this time for the Nintendo DS.
Sonic Classic Collection features Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Sonic & Knuckles. It will also introduce a save feature to Sonic 1 and 2, which is a first for those games, and a video recounting his history.
"The original Sonic the Hedgehog games were the start of a pop culture phenomenon that extended beyond just the video game world," said Sega of America vice president of marketing Sean Ratcliffe.
"The Sonic Classic Collection will introduce a whole new generation of gamers to this beloved Hedgehog and take them back to his humble beginnings."
The classic Sonic games were most recently compiled in the Sonic Ultimate Genesis Collection, which was released earlier this year for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. In addition to the aforementioned games, it also included Sonic 3D Blast and Sonic Spinball. The first two Sonic games were also included in 2006's Sega Genesis Collection, and can be found on the Wii's Virtual Console service along with Xbox Live Arcade.
So this certainly isn't the first time that the classic games starring Sega's mascot have be re-released, but it is your first chance to have them all in one place on the Nintendo DS. It'll be out in Spring 2010. | I'm sold. __________________  |
