According to my source within Sega, Sonic&#8217;s 20th Anniversary (unofficial title) may feature levels from any of the blue hedghog&#8217;s titles, be them 2D or 3D, but all will feature modernized visuals, updated music, and tighter controls.  I&#8217;ll tell you this, if its 2D levels can look as good as <\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/paulgalenetwork.com\/home\/2010\/08\/25\/fan-made-sonic-and-knuckles-3d-trailer-and-segas-response\/\">Blob Van Dam<\/a>&#8216;s Sonic video from a few months ago and the 3D zones even better than Colors&#8217;&#8230;I&#8217;ll be very pleased.  It also looks like the game will see different versions on Wii, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, 3DS, DS, and PSP.<\/p>\n<p>Next up: Mario and Sonic 3<br \/>\nThis game is another Mario and Sonic at the Olympics game, which will be related to the Summer Olympics, 2012 event to be held in London, England.  What I have been told is that Sega is really aiming to try and bring back Sonic&#8217;s popularity, but only through quality efforts (this makes sense due to Sega recently taking off of store shelves, poor to average rated Sonic games), and that&#8217;s why they&#8217;re taking out some of the mechanics that made the first two games less than stellar and are fine tuning the gameplay.  Expect this one on Wii, 3DS, and DS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sonic&#8217;s turning 20 and will be celebrating his birthday in a big way.
