This “Sonic 4″ Is Actually 14 Years Old

Sega may have you thinking Sonic 4 is on the way, but really, it’s already here. It was released in 1996, for the Super Nintendo.

This is a game called “Sonic 4″, a hack which took the existing Speedy Gonzales: Los Gatos Bandidos (by Sunsoft) and added some extras to it. Like Sonic, Sonic’s rings, and little Marios in cages, which Sonic has to rescue.

Sounds bonkers, I know, but the proof’s in the video.

    I know *this* is going to sound bonkers, but that was the first “Sonic” game I ever played =P I didn’t think it was too bad at the time.
    Ahh…memories…

    I dont think that really qualifies as a legitimate sonic 4. ITS A PIRATED GAME.

    P.S Why have sonic save Mario if the game is being made for SNES? Isnt that admitting that sonic is better?

    He doesnt even roll into a ball… that looks like a really bad hack job.
    What was with the little animation at the end of the scene, so crudely done.
