Sonic GBA remake details News
GameBoy Advance News by Tom Bramwell
SEGA's Game Boy Advance port of the original Sonic The Hedgehog game, announced as part of Sonic's 15th anniversary celebration earlier this year, is due out on 14th November - and SEGA's offered a few more details of what's going into it.
Dubbed "Sonic The Hedgehog Genesis", the GBA title promises "perfectly ported" versions of each of the Megadrive original's seven zones, along with a special Anniversary mode that allows you to use the Spin Dash ability as well.
You'll also be able to take advantage of a proper save feature, recording progress and high scores, rather than having to start again every time you load it up like the old days version, with unlockable songs from the original soundtrack completing the package.
There's currently no word on a UK release for Sonic The Hedgehog Genesis, but if you're really keen you can always import it. Check out recently released screenshots for more retro gawping fun.

"Never has the word "just" been so badly used."
So you'll "just" pay for the same game yet again then? :) |

Yes. Well, I would if I had a GBA. It's an absolutely fantastic game and provided it's ported well is already suited perfectly to the portable platform. I'd throw more hours at it than any other GBA title I can think of and I'd be gobsmacked if I was alone in this mindset. The only bad thing about it is that it proves nobody has made a better platformer in 15 years, including SEGA themselves. Of course, this is all just my opinion. But I think I've answered your question. And though I agree it's unfair to charge the same price as a new, original GBA game, if there was a £ > fun ratio this game would score very, very well. |

Hrm.
I'm a huge Sonic fan, but after like.. four compilations we finally get - on Sonic's 15th anniversary - the first game again, pretty much untouched (apart from save features, yay..) on *the system whose carts stick out of my DS Lite*. I find it genuinely difficult to care, even the tiniest bit. The least they could do is snazz it up like the Marios on GBA. If you want to play the original Sonic in its "purest" form, there's a billion ways to do that already. |

Yeah but the fun factor pick up and play of 2D games hasn't been replicated that well (or that much) in today's day and age of gaming.
The fact that you can play these titles on the go just makes it more tantalising. :) Although i refuse to pay a quarter as much as Nintendo was selling their Nes classics ages ago. |

Excellent! Everybody can relive their fond Sonic memories then. :)
Unfortunately for Sega, this will actually make people even more aware of what they did to the franchise over the last years and hate them for that... |

Er, I'd hope this is going to be a budget release or something, like, for a tenner, because if that's all it is, then it sounds like a rip off :/
They could easily fit the first three/four Sonic games onto one cart, surely? |
