A Sonic game that was originally made for one console - or in Sonic Colors' case, a family of systems from one company alone - getting remastered for release on multiple platforms is even rarer.Īfter Sonic Adventures and Sonic Adventures 2 were released on the Dreamcast in 19 respectively, they were ported over to the Nintendo GameCube with many differences.

Sonic Colors getting a remaster over a decade after its release on the Wii and the Nintendo DS is an exciting prospect because while classic Sonic games are re-released and remastered 100 times over, for a modern Sonic game to get the remastered treatment is incredibly rare. Ultimate will be more widely available than the original game, and that's a cause for celebration. What made me happiest about seeing Sonic Colors Ultimate being confirmed despite my skepticism towards the leaks is that the game is being ported not only to the Nintendo Switch, but also to the Xbox One and PS4.

The one Sonic game Sega allowed to feel the sunshine again was the former Nintendo-exclusive Sonic Colors - this time remastered under the name Sonic Colors Ultimate. I still have the PS2 versions of Sonic Heroes and Shadow the Hedgehog sitting in my bookshelf, but my PS2 itself has been in the possession of my aunt for the last two years, and it pisses me off because Sega apparently condemned those two Sonic games to eternal moratorium, never to see the light of day on current-gen platforms.

As I was watching the Sonic Central showcase, I was expecting something along the lines of a remaster of the entire Adventure-era collection of Sonic games starting with the first Sonic Adventure and ending with Shadow the Hedgehog.
