Sega Announces Two Sonic Game Collections For Switch
Nintendo Life • • technology
Key Points:
- The Sonic series is being divided into "Classic" and "Modern" categories by Sega, a decision seen as unnecessary and confusing by fans, especially since certain characters are restricted to one universe or the other.
- The inclusion of a 2023 game in a "Classic" bundle and the release of a "Modern Sonic Collection" reflect Sega's ongoing commitment to this divisive categorization, which some find odd and limiting.
- The Chaotix crew's presence in modern games is an exception to the divide, originating from their return in Sonic Heroes before the split was established.
- Recent Sonic game bundles are being released exclusively for the Switch 1, despite Switch 2 having backward compatibility and upcoming "definitive" editions, leading to questions about the selection and omission of certain DLC content.
- There is uncertainty about whether Sonic Mania Plus DLC is included on-cart or via code in various bundles, with older stock being less of a concern compared to what new releases will offer.
