Sonic CD to be released on Mobile Phones and Consoles!

As it is the 20th anniversary of Sonic The Hedgehog, SEGA has been doing everything to make this year better for one of their most well known franchises. A number of Sonic titles – both the classic sidescrolling ones and the 3D platforming games have been re-released over the last few years however one that perhaps hasn’t been as recognized is Sonic CD. Released for the Mega-CD in 1993, it was the first series to introduce two of the now semi-recurring characters in the overall series – Metal Sonic and Amy Rose. This game is due out on the following consoles *Takes a deep breath* iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, XBox Live Arcade, Playstation Network, PC and both Android and Windows 7 phones this summer. Also included will be the original Japanese soundtrack, a nice bonus for those who have only played the English version of the game.

Haruki Satomi, Vice President of Digital Businesses at SEGA had this to say –

“Ask any Sonic fan to name their favourite games, and Sonic CD always ranks near the top of their lists. 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 classic zones.”

The following is the official statement on the game as taken from the Press Release:

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.
