Sonic CD Heading for XBLA, PSN, IOS, and PC

Brand new trailer!

"METAL SONIC! AMY-ROSE! ROBOTS! IT CAN ONLY BE SONIC CD

LONDON & SAN FRANCISCO — 25th August, 2011 —SEGA® Europe Ltd. and SEGA® of America, Inc. today announced that Sonic CD™ will debut on mobile phones and consoles everywhere. Originally released for the MEGA CD™ system in 1993 and with Metal Sonic and Amy Rose making their introduction, Sonic CD is coming to digital platforms with music from the original Japanese soundtrack. The beloved prequel to Sonic The Hedgehog 4 ™ Episode I is coming to iPhone® and iPod® touch, iPad®, Xbox LIVE® Arcade for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation® Network, PC Digital Download, Android and Windows Phone 7 and will be available for download this winter.

"Ask any Sonic fan to name their favourite games, and Sonic CD always ranks near the top of their lists," said Haruki Satomi, Vice President of Digital Business at SEGA. "Sonic CD marks an important chapter in Sonic's history, bridging the gap between his oldest adventures and his new digital exploits like Sonic The Hedgehog 4 Episode I. We've made sure the re-mastered edition has everything that Sonic fans want to see with all of the original colourful ****c zones."

Following the ****c story of the original, Sonic CD sees Dr Eggman plan to cause chaos and take control of the future by stealing Times Stones from the Little Planet. Sonic must speed through levels and travel through time whilst fending off Eggman's robots to recover the Time Stones, and save Amy Rose from his mechanical twin, Metal Sonic! This fast-paced game will return with brand new features including enhanced widescreen graphics, iOS features, Xbox LIVE Achievements, PSN Trophies, PC Achievements and more."

New art, remastered, Japanese soundtrack...this is great.

It's been comfirmed that Taxman is re-mastering the game using the Retro Engine!

I hope they don't make it a Sega vintage version,sure it was nice to save and load at any point,but you can't do anything at the title screen,which means no cheats,and I won't be able to see the beginning"Sonic Boom" video at full screen,At least give me some freedom >_>

That's why you buy a damn Genesis, like mine.

Bout damn time.

It would be nice to see it on PSN and Wiiware too, Sega all the other Sonic games are on those services you know.

And where the hell is Knuckles Chaotix already?

I'd prefer Knuckles' Chaotix. I don't care for this game.

Then again, I don't have an Xbox. So it doesn't affect me.

Also,don't the XBL and PSN versions of Sonic the Hedgehog 1-3 have widescreen?

It's on PSN?

Eh... still not getting.

Sonic CD will have both soundtracks! Slin from Sonic Retro has comfirmed that Sonic CD will have both the Jp/Eu and US soundtracks. I'm still definitely going to use the superior Jp/Eu soundtrack. =PMobilechicaneX

I liked the US one, the bad future last zone (forget the name) PAL version has pretty creepy speech (including "Sonic dead or alive, is mine")

It's on PSN? Great. Here's hoping it'll be available on PSN Asia but I've a feeling it will be.

And once again Sega acts like the Wii doesn't exist anymore. Oh well at least Wii owners can play Sonic Gems Collection. And don't say the game wouldn't fit on the Wii's download memory. You can get SD cards and if the system can upload N64 games, it can handle a Sega CD game.

They don't even have to remaster it for the VC. The VC audience would like to play it in it's original form.

Serioulsy f%$# you Sega.

Though hopefully this is a sign we might see Knuckles Chaotix show up eventually. Though Sonic CD really seems to be one of those "love it or hate it" Sonic games. For many it's either the best Sonic game ever made or the worst piece of crap outside of modern games. I may download it for the PSN but right now money is tight not to mention several other games on my "must download" list I haven't gotten to.

• Deathspank
• Castle Crashers
• Bonk's Adventure
• Maybe download the original Crash and Spyro from the PS1 library

Fun fact: on the windows 95 version they didn't bother doing any sort of protection on the data. With a little computer magic, you could insert any music in anywhere you liked.sonicphc

*Thinks about Robotnik's boss music being This Day We Fight by Megadeth*

Awwwwww yeaaaaah.

A timeline?Sega needs to make an entire timeline,I still want to know when some of these games take place >_>

..wait,Sonic 4:Episode 1 happens,Sonic CD,then Sonic 4:Episode 2?

(Duh,he's confusing me!)

Come on, they can't just change it like that. Sonic CD's been accepted as before Sonic 2 by most people since about the time it came out, and now they're changing it for some port of the game? Wonderful, if they plan on being able to tell all the fans that.mariostar0001

I blame Nintendo and there strict File Size limit,its possible they can have a 3DS download,since they most likely have no file limits there,but I doubt that would happen.

..and my bad,that Sonic Retro Article confused me.

If anything, it actually makes more sense that CD takes place after 1, 2, 3 and Knuckles.MobilechicaneX

The fact there was a spin dash but not a proper spin dash animation because it was between 1 and 2 is my proof.

No. The timeline now goes like this: Sonic 1 > Sonic 2 > Sonic 3 > Sonic and Knuckles > Sonic CD > Sonic 4 Ep 1 > Sonic 4 Ep 2 MobilechicaneX

Oh joy, this will be fun.
