Sonic Generations gets 3DS Release Date!

Over the past couple of weeks, Sonic Generations was confirmed for the 3DS with little information. Now though, the game has been given a release date!

SEGA® Europe Ltd. & SEGA® America, Inc., today confirmed Sonic Generations™ will be released on Nintendo’s new handheld system, Nintendo 3DS™ in November 2011. The game will be set across three defining eras from Sonic the Hedgehog’s twenty year history, and will see SEGA’s mascot speeding through new stereoscopic 3D levels designed exclusively for the handheld console.

“Sonic Generations for Nintendo 3DS will combine brand new technology and twenty years of Sonic the Hedgehog videogame heritage” commented David Corless, Global Brand Director for Sonic. “Couple this with the ability to play as both Classic and Modern Sonic and you have the perfect gaming celebration for the landmark anniversary of our much loved mascot”.

The 3DS will feature environments designed specifically for the system, all based on iconic levels from previous Sonic the Hedgehog titles. They will also include an exclusive unlockable ‘Special Stage’ which will allow players to become even more immersed in the world of Sonic.
The game will also take advantage of the StreetPass feature, allowing players to collect new content and unlock bonus material whenever they pass another player. There is also a two-player versus mode which will allow players to battle it out across some of the most recognisable Sonic environments.
