Video Reflects On The Blue Hedgehog's Past 20 Years

This new trailer from Sega reflects on the blue hedgehog’s two decades of video games leading up to Sonic Generations. Generations will act as a sort of greatest hits of Sonic’s exploits, remaking old stages in 2D and 3D.

This trailer lends credibility to the previously leaked stage list, as the timeline within contains the same games as the purported list. Additionally, this trailer focuses on the rumored levels, making it even more likely that the leak is legit.

Sega also sent us this cool, super collectible Sonic 20th anniversary statue in honor of the occasion.

  • Yay! Tails is here! xD other than that, i am so sick of Sonic's 20th bday >.> from what i've learned over the years, birthdays only come once a year. Sonic's been getting stuff dedicated to his 20 years for months now, and it's getting on my nerves xD ok, we get it. it's been 20 years. Move on people! Sonic's not even that great...it's Tails everyone should be cheering for! :P
  • i might actually buy this.no talking bees or crocidiles and no talking bats with questionable character design.

  • On a high note I guess it was good they didnt show Sonic Riders p.s. i still remember my dad buying me sonic heroes for my 6th birthday.....unfortunately i could only beat it with big the cat's team.
  • I remember playing Sonic for the Genesis!

  • Amazing how 95% of the newer games were terrible... IMO
  • Enjoyed all of those up to the newer Sonic The Hedgehog, and haven't touched the games since. Nice to see Tails back, too.

    I'm still not sure about this game. After playing the demo, the game, while not floaty like Sonic 4, simply doesn't feel as good traction-wise as the originals (meaning you can barely slow Sonic's momentum once he jumps, which is concerning for the platforming segments).

    Hopefully it'll be addressed before the game comes out.

  • Hah, they even made Sonic scowl more for Sonic and Knuckles. That game really was all about the 'tude

  • I love Sonic. I know a lot of the 3D games haven't been worthy of the legacy he used to have but the old 2D Genesis games are still amazing.

  • Who else laughed when the "Still UNSTOPPABLE after 20 years" thing came up? I personally really enjoyed Adventure 2. The chaos were the best.
  • For the love of all that is good and holy Sega, don't F this up! I haven't really enjoyed a Sonic game since Sonic 3 & Knuckles. Granted I still haven't played 4 yet, but from what I read, has wonky controls. Regardless, looking forward to some good ol' fashion hedgehog action!
  • I loved every Sonic game until he went to the Xbox. I didn't have one at the time, so I kind of lost interest for a little while until the Wii came out. I recently played Sonic '06 and Unleashed at my friend's house out of curiosity. They ruined my childhood. Fortunately, Generations looks very promising. I played the demo, and it was amazing. The only problem I could find which was very nit-picky on my part was I didn't think he jumped high enough. I just barely made simple jumps across platforms. Maybe that's to add a challenge. But still, it was amazing and it made me forget all his terrible games and remember the good ones.

    AND HOLY CRAP THOSE METAL SONIC PICTURES LOOK AWESOME.
  • Never forget the speed!Sonic rules 4ever!
  • I wonder if the COD syndrome has hit Sonic or they don;t want to acknowledge that a new game comes out every year now?

  • If that video reflects on the last 20 years of Sonic, shouldn't the first several years of it show nostalgic moments of Sonic being awesome while the last 10 years or so just show a dog taking a crap? Because that's what the last decade of Sonic games has been.

  • Now by unstoppable, they don't mean that it can't be stopped, but that it simply won't be.
  • I blacked out as soon as I saw Sonic Adventures.

  • Cool. I'd like to forget most of the things I saw playing Sonic Adventure (not just 1, but 2 as well. Ugh...), but I'm intrigued.

  • I had literally forgotten that I had played Sonic Heroes until I just watched that video.

  • GIVE ME THAT STATUE THEY SENT YOU PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE TO DEAR SWEET GOD IN THE HEAVENS ABOVE CAN I HAVE IT

    plus i love every sonic game to date and you know what else. i got sonic 06 for xbox and ps3 boo yeah. Still the biggest sonic fan till this day.

  • Am I the only one who liked sonic heroes.
