Review 3D Sonic The Hedgehog (3DS eShop)
Sonic with a dash extra
The modern gaming scene may still be regularly broken down to battles of hardware technology and game exclusives, but back in the early '90s it was also a battle of mascots. The original Sonic the Hedgehog was the catalyst for the famous Tokyo-based company in the early days of the 16-bit battle for supremacy, as it delivered...

What is the best Sonic game?
Sonic the Hedgehog — the blue dude with the most 'tude — first sprinted onto the Mega Drive in 1991, when Sega finally presented a credible challenger for the platforming throne that Mario had been sitting on since the mid-1980s.

News Head of Sonic Team Explains Why Dr. Robotnik Started Going by "Eggman"
Localization strikes again
The main nemesis of Sonic the Hedgehog is one who has gone by a couple names. In the earlier, Genesis-era games, he was mostly referred to as Dr. Ivo Robotnik. In the later games, he still retained this name, but was referred to often as Eggman or Dr. Eggman, obviously in reference to the shape of the villain. This may...

About The Game
Sonic The Hedgehog, now in 3D!
The evil scientist, Dr. Eggman (aka Dr. Robotnik), has snatched the animals of South Island, turning them into robot slaves.

awesome! i always wanted a remake of all the times i first started my adventures.
and in 3d too!!!!
Ikr Sonic Adventure was AWESOME!!!
I wonder how framerate will be...
@rudyseidl I'm pretty sure it'll be nothing like Sonic Genesis for GBA.
Well, it's been almost 2 months since this was announced for NA and EU eShop. When will this come out already?
Microsoft is paying Sega to hold them back 7 months until the M$ 3DXBtwo handheld is released
Can't wait to have the original Super Mario Bros., the original Mega Man, and the original Sonic the Hedgehog together on-demand for play anytime on my 3DS!
@DinoandAllen Yes.
It's being made by M2. It will be excellent.
Was going to buy SMB3 but seeing as it will probably be a while 'till that comes out gonna go ahead and buy another game I love dearly. Hoping the 3D will be good.
OMG how awesome
This is one of the best editions of this game I have ever played, and hope it is successful enough that they bring the rest of the Genesis/Mega Drive Sonic games to the 3DS.
Game is pretty sick. Hoping that 2, 3/Knuckles, and CD will get the same treatment in due time.
Yea, Sonic 2 with Sonic 3 and Knuckles would be great to see in the future.
This version of the first Sonic is excellent.
Yeah this game definitely brings back memories...I have this game on my iphone. I play it once in awhile every now and then.
This game would be even better IF YOU COULD loving START!!!
this game is fun but hard
