The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
Sonic’s latest 2D outing featured a very cool collector’s edition that any Genesis owner would love to have! It’s a beautiful addition to any game room and makes for a great conversation piece. Complete the package with Data Discs vinyl release of the soundtrack, and you have one of the best collector’s sets released this year.
Sonic recently returned with an all-new, 2D adventure that takes the franchise back to its 16-bit glory days. We give it a full hands-on to see if it’s the game we’ve all wanted, and while there might be more of the Genesis games than new content, what’s there is exceptional.
Sonic’s adventures on the Game Gear tend to be underappreciated, and that’s a shame. Far more than mere ports, they’re solid platforming goodness that Sega fans should take some time to enjoy. His second outing is one of the handheld’s classic titles that captures all the charm and action of its 16-bit sibling.
In 2013, Sonic returned for another adventure that many hoped would help erase his prior 3D history. Sonic Lost World on the Wii U is a step in the right direction, though it takes a little time to appreciate. It’s not perfect by any means, but there’s enough meat on the bone to make this one 3D Sonic game worth checking out.
This month marks the 25th North American anniversary of the world’s most famous hedgehog! Instead of looking at all of his games, we’ve decided to honor the Blue Blur by examining how he’s managed to endure for so long. There’s a lot more about Sonic to think about than games, and his appeal stretches to many other areas. Happy birthday Sonic!
