Sonic CD Arrives in Time for Christmas
SAN FRANCISCO & LONDON - December 13, in the year of our Lord 2011 -- SEGA® of America, Inc. and SEGA® Europe Ltd. today announced that fan favorite Sonic CD™ will be released on multiple platforms starting tomorrow, December 14. Relive the story of the 1993 original, which sees Dr. Eggman again attempting to take control of time by stealing the Time Stones from Little Planet. Sonic must speed through levels and travel through time while fending off Eggman’s robots to recover the Time Stones and save the smitten young hedgehog, Amy Rose.
One of GamesRadar’s top 100 games of all time, the revamped version of this popular title includes the original Japanese and US soundtracks as requested by the fans, and, for the first time, the ability to play the game as Sonic’s best friend, Tails, unlockable by clearing the game for the first time. Sonic CD also features the first appearance of Metal Sonic, one of Sonic’s most enduring nemeses.
“Sonic’s 20th Anniversary has been a banner year for him – as well as for everyone at SEGA,” said Haruki Satomi, Senior Vice President of Digital Business at SEGA of America. “Gamers around the world are rediscovering their love of Sonic through his adventures, new and old.
