Sega has begun prepping us for exciting announcements, warning that “There’s something big coming this week to the Sonic Facebook page” and that the company will “start celebrating on Thurs 7th April”. Could that celebration be related to the recently unearthed Sonic Generations web sites?
New domain registrations for SonicGenerations.com and Sonic-Generations.com were spotted by expert URL finder Superannuation earlier this week, potential clues about Sega’s plans for a new Sonic the Hedgehog game.
Last year’s effort, Sonic Colours for the Wii, was warmly received by fans and critics, so let’s hope Sega has learned from that game’s smart use of 2D and 3D gameplay and its lack of Sonic sidekicks.

Wednesday, April 6, 2011 at 9:17 AMThis massive news will obviously be Sonic 4 – episode 2!
Anybody who expects anything bigger than this doesn’t know SEGA very well and deserves to be disappointed…
Kidding…
Kinda.

Wednesday, April 6, 2011 at 11:22 AMIt’s a patch for the Megadrive/Genesis re-release to avoid emulation glitches like in the picture above. Sonic is supposed to be BEHIND the banner!

Wednesday, April 6, 2011 at 1:14 PMDude noone wants Milkshake the Goat back or any of the stupid sidekicks. Only Tails and Knuckles should make a return. Also: lol@ anyone getting excited over a Sonic game.

Wednesday, April 6, 2011 at 4:38 PMProbably Sonic 4 ep 2, as just about everyone else has said.
That or Sonic is permanently going to stay as the werehog.
But then, I am a bit of a masochistic gamer when it comes to Sonic. I actually liked Heroes and Unleashed, and keep thinking about getting Colours. Couldn’t stand the ’06 game though.

With all the Sonic Generations URL registrations, is it going to be YET ANOTHER compilation?!?
