with the release of Sonic origins Coming this summer, will be the first time in a long time Lang The time when all the great classic Mega Drive / Genesis Sonic games will be bundled and playable in one collection. So it’s not surprising that Sega has announced that it will be removing several versions of classic Sonic games on May 20th.
However, there’s no need to panic if you’re a Switch owner. Both Sonic the Hedgehog and the Consequence The SEGA AGES versions are safe, as is the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pass version of Sonic the Hedgehog 2.
This news was distributed to several people in a press release and in turn shared on Twitter by Eurogamer Managing Editor Matthew Reynolds:
SEGA today announced that the company will be removing digital versions of the indie titles featured in the upcoming game Sonic Origins on May 20, 2022.
These include Sonic the Hedgehog 1 and 2, Sonic 3 & Knuckles and Sonic CD. There are two exceptions – Sonic the Hedgehog 1 and 2 will continue to be playable on Nintendo Switch via SEGA AGES, and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 will continue to be playable on Nintendo Switch Online+ via Sega Genesis.
It’s not uncommon for things like this to happen when classics are repackaged and re-released, but it does mean that the age-old argument to keep games has reignited – and with good reason.
It is not clear which versions of this write-off Wille Effect; Will people still be able to download Christian Whiteheads – one of the main minds behind it sonic mania – Sonic versions 1, 2 and Audio-CD? Or are the 3DS versions of the M2 by Sonic the Hedgehog and Schall 2 Can they be removed before the 3DS online store closes next year? We’re at least happy that Switch owners still have access to these games, but it’s undoubtedly disappointing for those who want games on other platforms.
