Sonic Generations (Nintendo 3DS)

Product Information

Development of Sonic Generations began after the completion of Sonic Unleashed in 2008, when developer Sonic Team began discussing possible ideas for a twentieth anniversary Sonic game. [28] The console/PC version of the game was directed by Hiroshi Miyamoto, and Yoshinobu Uba was the Lead Game Designer. Producer Takashi Iizuka wanted a game that incorporated the best of Sonic's history, and offered more replay value compared to previous games. [29] The team eventually decided to split the gameplay into two separate playstyles: one representing the original games and another representing more recent ones. [28] The team chose to develop on the high-definition (HD) Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 consoles, wanting the game to re-imagine levels and aspects of previous entries with high-quality graphics. [30] A port for Windows was also made; development was handled by Devil's Details. [31] Dimps assisted with production of the Nintendo 3DS version. Sega considered making the 3DS version a port of the console versions, but instead chose to develop from scratch to make it unique [32] and celebrate Sonic's portable history. [28] A version for the Wii was planned, but was eventually abandoned due to hardware constraints. [33]

Development of Sonic Generations began following the completion of Unleashed. Sonic Team sought to re-imagine the most popular aspects of the franchise in high-definition, and developed the game using the Hedgehog Engine. Each location and many bosses in the game are previously seen in an earlier entry in the series, with the game including numerous other references to past entries.

Likewise, the HD and 3DS' version's Japanese names are "White Time and Space" (console/PC) and "Blue Adventures" (3DS).

As Super Sonic, the player is invincible and their speed is greatly increased. However the Sonics lose rings while in this form, and will revert to their standard form when all the rings are gone.
