So, with very little news about the new Sonic the Hedgehog title coming out later this year, SEGA has decided to re-release Sonic 1. Again. This re-release will be branded as a 3D classic, and feature, obviously, 3D. Western release has not been confirmed yet, but I'm sure it will be announced soon. And not only will you be able to buy Sonic 1 for the 1500th time, you'll also be able to buy Tails Adventure, originating from the SEGA GameGear. Tails Adventure is a Metroidvania style spinoff, that hardly has gotten the attention it deserves. Not to mention, the Taxman (Christian Whitehead) remastered port of Sonic 1 to iOS is also set to release later this month.
