Review Sonic Generations (3DS)
Spin cycle
A lot can change in 20 years. When the original Sonic the Hedgehog launched on 23rd June 1991 we didn't even have the Super NES in the West, and the thought that Nintendo and SEGA would one day work together was less than laughable. Yet here we are, two decades later, playing a celebration of Sonic's career on Nintendo's latest console. A...

First Impressions Sonic Generations

June was Sonic's 20th anniversary, and later this year Sega celebrates with Sonic Generations, a project that aims to combine the hedgehog's best and, admittedly, worst moments. 3DS owners get a very different version to PS3 and 360 fans, both for better and worse. Sonic Generations on 3DS joins traditional 16-bit style platforming...

a new sonic in 3d
a sonic for 3ds! well hopefully they make the game style like the wii games
Please make a good one like Colours. Please
sonic will look awsome with the 3D afect
what if they use the analog pad to make it like the crappy sonic 06
the hedgehog? this could get interesting...
Ok now where talking _
This is going to be a very good comeback for the dude in blue with the red shoes. This will be the first game I have ever preordered and I cant flipen wait!
I buy the game if it is good
But first I need a Nintendo 3DS LOL
Welcome back, fat Sonic!
yay sonic games for the 3ds and yes welcome back fat sonic.
lol
According to Wikipedia the game is coming out on my Birthday (11/22)
as long as it has ALL the content as the XBOX/PS3 version I'll bite.
Those screens... are Sonic 2 style special stages!! awesome!!! ;D
i cant wait so i can be the older, cooler sonic
super sonic the super hedghog
This makes Super Mario All Stars look like a joke.
How come the 3ds doesn't get a collectors edition =^(
3d sonic WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
hope it has debug mode like(or better than) sonic 2
i like it on wii or playststion3 better
Is this going to be the same as the Sonic Rush series with different stages?
I wish this game was getting the recognition that Super Mario 3D Land was getting (I mean c'mon that game looks like it will own like a ) but I was expecting more from this game. Still looks like it will be good with the 3D Special Stages.
I think the 3DS version is so much better because:
-Better level selection such as Emerald Coast, Mushroom Hill, and Tropical Resort
-Better Bosses
-It's portable
-It just plain looks funner
I wish they make the 3ds one like the ps3 and xbox 360. The modern sonic is played almost like the classic sonic. I wonder how online play will be.
Go Sonic!
LOl the release in Europe is at nov 4th not nov 25th...
That's the xbox version
whoops, you're right
If anyone wants to add me my fc is 1203-9370-6806. Tell me you have added me after you have.
Emerald Coast, Radical Highway, Mushroom Hill, Emerald coast, Tropical Resort, Casino Night, Emerald Coast, Windmill Isle, EMERALD COAST! THIS VERSION IS SOOOOOO MUCH BETTER!!!!
Here's why it's better: The console version was ALL WRONG! They had a horrible selection of stages, no extra features, the gameplay was not very good, and it was a horrible way to celebrate Sonic's 20th Anniversary. The 3DS version has stages that are more memorable, fun, and Favorited, Online Multiplayer, Pick up and play gaming, and well, It's just too awesome to explain.
Can't wait for Sonic Generations!!! November 25th here i come!!!
@PlatinumGamerX I'm actually really enjoying the HD version; most of the stage choices are spot on for me, plus I love unlocking the artwork and sound. Can't wait to play this one though as I hear it's actually a lot better.
@Nintendolife
9 or 10 games out tomorrow.
I bet you're so thrilled. :/
What a greate game!!
Sonic is epic so i'm looking foward to this
@35 It's already out!
SO AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I got all S's on the story mode, has anyone else here have too?
((and I have 9999 points online.))
This game is awesome! However, Sega should re-release Sonic 1-3 with the same graphics as Generations!

I rented it. And I think that's all this game is worth. Just a rent. Don't get me wrong, I still think the game is fun, but I just think it isn't worth the €25, when you can get it for a week for €0,75 (Dutch library logic)
