That’s right, I said “Sonic 1 version 2.0″. No, I don’t mean that Sonic 2 is coming to iOS and Android, so stop asking. No! Sonic 3 & Knuckles isn’t coming either! Security! Get these Sonic fans out of my office! It seems not even Sega were happy with their rubbish attempt to port the original…

It’s a new year, and with it comes a new Sonic game right? I’m honestly still riding the coattails of Sonic & Danica Patrick go to the beach Transformed, so these announcements can take their time in my opinion. Anyway, Sega filed a trademark in Europe for something called “Sonic Lost World.” Shall we let…

Considering the reduced price Sega was selling the game at right from the start, the sales aren’t exactly good and probably worse than the original, which I find really surprising. But the good news is that the game continues to sell at a steady pace, and with the PC version out (and actually being a solid port with improved textures) and DLC and a patch on the way, the game should remain in the charts for at least a while longer. But for a game with Sonic attached to it to struggle this much, despite actually getting good reviews, shows that Sega may have another difficult year ahead of them.

I agree. But a part of me wonders if the new price might have actually hurt it. Not that it makes the game bad, but a lot of (wrong) people usually assume (wrongly) that a game’s quality depends on an extravagant price point. I just hope people didn’t see this as a ‘budget’ game when a lot of good work clearly went into it.
