Play Sonic 1 in X360 & PS3 Versions of Sonic Generations
By now, you know that Sonic Generations has a lot of old-school goodness in it, from the classic characters to the iconic levels of past games. But did you know that you could play the original Sonic the Hedgehog game (aka Sonic 1) from within Generations? You do now!
This port of Sonic 1 will be available in the X360 and PS3 versions of Sonic Generations, but you’ll have to earn it! When you complete each level, you’ll get points. Save up your points and then go to the Skill Shop, where you can purchase the “SEGA Genesis Controller”, which will allow you to access and play Sonic 1. You can also spend your points to get infinite continues for Sonic 1.
Even more reasons to be excited for Sonic Generations, which is out on November 1st in North America and November 4th in Europe!

Seriously? A genesis controller to unlock Sonic 1?
Whatever happened to the real original Sonic 1 on the console that made it famous?
Still loving the new game, but I just don’t get this…

Is there anything different about this port compared to the ones already available on 360 and PS3? Or will this basically be the same emulation as before? Not that it will keep me from buying Generations either way, it just would be neat if there was something special here!

Well, apart from infinite continues! 😛

Some questions:
1) Is this the version of the game with the spike bug fixed, unlockable in Mega Collection and playable by default in Mega Collection Plus?
2) I’d like to buy spindash for Sonic 1 at the in-game shop. Any chance this is a secret item? ;D

Eh seems cool but a real sonic fan doesn’t need infinite continues.

Would be amazing if you could buy Spindash, Insta shield, TAILS, KNUCKLES, and SuperSonic for this version. Most likely not, I’m sure, but would be great.

PC version gets Sonic 3+K and 3D Blast for preorder on steam. The Steam deal is better.

A few questions.
1) Will this have anything unlockable, such as spindash or super peelout?
2) Will it have stuff from later games like save files, level select, or super sonic?
3) Is this the only unlockable game, or will you have more like Sonic 2, 3, and Knuckles, or 3D Blast?

Guys, I’m 99% sure this is just pure emulation, hence there won’t be any save files or unlockable spindashes.

Oh, and SEGA, people are still waiting for a Sonic Adventure 2 port for PSN/XBLA.

Well, at least this will please the small group that demanded 1:1 recreation of Classic Sonic’s gameplay.
In before they nitpick that too.

Thank you Pre-order service. Now, what about that extra content from the collector’s edition for us North American gamers?

Very important question, SEGA:
Will Sonic Generations be REGION FREE, on Xbox360?
Thanks in advance.

Will anything like this be available in the 3DS version?

@Private Joker – Not sure I get what you’re saying here. Sonic 1 was originally available on the Genesis. Unless you’re nitpicking about whole Mega Drive/Genesis naming thing, in which case what does it really matter?

Comment # 35
@Marcus when SEGA announced the PC version, they mentioned it will be exactly alike the console version, meaning you get this feature as well.

Sonic is so awesome. I can’t wait to get this game. Too bad it doesn’t come out a bit earlier

Wait, what about the 3DS? I think the PC is getting Sonic 3… but those of us with 3DS’s? What are we getting?

Comment # 39
Will the 3DS or PC have anything like this? And now I can see why you didn’t realese this on the Wii.
1. The Wii has no HD graphics.
2. The Wii is enduring it’s final moments and you’d be more likely to realese this for the Wii U (next year).

Eh, not to sound unappreciative, but other sites have already reported this. It’s a great addition, though. I’m surprised there isn’t an official Sonic Generations website like Japan has with loads of goodies like wallpapers and images. What’s up with that?

Infinite continues will be needed for people who can’t beat Sonic 1 like me and My sister who HAS beat it to make it easy!

Please Sonic 2,3 & Knuckles too?
I suppose CD won’t be in as you want to sell that separately, but yeah, it should have the genesis games.
Also rewards usable for the main game after you beat the ports.

What a joke. I mean, cool idea and everything, but most Sonic fans already own the classics in some way, shape, or form. All of you who whine about PC not having this should just STFU right now, cause Steam had a deal where they gave you Sonic 3 & Knuckles, AND Sonic 3D Blast. If you want any of the other classics that damn badly, then spend the $5 for each one or better yet just get the old Sonic Mega Collection game.

This comment doesn’t belong here, but where else would I put this statement? I think for next Generation consoles (XBOX NeXt, PS4, WiiU, etc.) Sega should make a 3rd installment in the adventure series, but NOT a Sonic Adventure 3. Make Sonic Adventure Origins, that a way you can explain what happens between Sonic 4 and Adventure 1! Give Sonic his momentum based platforming back, with Generations speed at the same time! But make it where you have to break the sound barrier to go faster like in Sonic Advanced series. Turn slide into a spin animation to make it look like he’s rolling, and use the Unreal engine 4! (With cell shading) Anyone agree?

That’s awesome! I heard about this! Sure, I have the Genesis collection, not to mention an original Genesis, but this is cool for those who don’t, especially the infinite continues! That’s helpful! Also love the in-game Genesis model!

Wouldn’t it make more sense to buy the game cartridge from the shop, rather than the controller?

So i guess there isn’t gonna be a save feature for it? Damn. but I guess I’ll still purchase it with my points.

Comment # 52
Not that I don’t like Sonic 1 or anything (’cause I do), but wouldn’t it be better to save content of the game for more NEW levels, instead of remaking games a lot of us already own? Then again, this would be a good introduction for the new Sonic fans to the classics, so it’s not all bad… and I’m gonna get this game either way! NOVEMBER IS TOO FAR AWAY!!! DURRR!!!

Why I need sonic 1 in my pc version if I already have Sonic 1 in my steam, plus Sonic 3&K and (urgh) Sonic 3D Blast? It’s pointless this extra to the PC version.

So glad to see Sonic 1 as a hidden goodie within Generations.
Without a doubt there will be more surprises. =D

Dear SEGA, will we be able to unlock a SEGA 32x controller so we can play Knuckle’s Chaotix? Or maybe an Arcade unlockable that will let us play SEGASonic the Hegehog (the one with Mighty the Armadillo, and Ray the flying Squirrel?
Sincerly,

How are people complaining about something that you’ll be getting FREE OF CHARGE?
You’ve already likely committed to buying the new game… Why not a free extra?

If you are upset about this not being for the PC version: Go prebuy it on steam and you get Sonic 3 & Knuckles and Sonic 3D Blast for free =D
