Sonic Generations (Nintendo 3DS)
System(s): Nintendo 3DS
Publisher: Sega
Developer:
Genre: Platform

Sonic Generations, called Sonic Generations: Ao no Bouken (ソニック ジェネレーションズ 青の冒険) in Japan, is a Sonic the Hedgehog video game by Sonic Team and Dimps for the Nintendo 3DS. This version is different from its console brethren by having entirely different stages. Both titles exist to commemorate Sonic the Hedgehog's 20th Anniversary.

Sonic Generations allows players to control both the pre-Sonic Adventure and post-Adventure designs for Sonic the Hedgehog and will feature remastered levels from Sonic's previous adventures. The game is divided into three eras: the Classic Era (pre-1998), the Dreamcast Era (1998-2005), and the Modern Era (2005 onwards) - "Classic Sonic" playing through the levels from a 2D (or 2.5D) "classic" perspective, "Modern Sonic" tackling them in a 2D/3D perspective, similar to Sonic Unleashed and Sonic Colours.

The game was first announced for the Nintendo 3DS in a Nintendo Power magazine, paired with a November 2011 release date for all platforms.

Gameplay

The gameplay will be split into two separate gameplay styles, separated by the character used.

The Classic gameplay style will be strictly 2.5D. Sonic will control more like his Mega Drive/Genesis counterpart, using Spin Dashes and the Spin Attack to hit enemies.

The Modern gameplay style will be 3D with transitions to 2.5D. This gameplay style represents his more recent titles Sonic Unleashed and Sonic Colors, where you use the Sonic Boost and the Homing Attack to advance.

3DS Differences

  • The 3DS version of Modern gameplay is more in line with Sonic Rush/Rush Adventure/Colours DS with Boosting and Homing Attacks kept on the 2D plane. The camera however can show Sonic at all angles compared to previous portable titles.
  • The levels and the bosses in the 3DS version are NOT be the same as its console counterparts.
  • As shown in gameplay of Green Hill Zone, the game has the exact same level design for the Classic Era levels versus original layouts.
