SEGA announces multiple Sonic-related releases as it marks the character’s 35th anniversary. Several outlets report that SEGA is bringing “Sonic Classic Collection” and “Sonic Modern Collection” to the Nintendo Switch, though details such as release dates, pricing, and the full game lineups are not included in the provided reports. In parallel, Video Games Chronicle and VideoCardz report that SEGA is re-releasing the original “Sonic the Hedgehog” and “Sonic the Hedgehog 2” for playable Genesis cartridges priced at about $99 (described as $100 cartridges in some coverage). The cartridge re-releases are presented as hardware-focused versions of the original games rather than digital editions.
The collected items also reference other Sonic 35th anniversary programming and product activity around the same period, including livestream plans mentioned by several listings. While these additional notes are not central to the cartridge and Switch announcements, they place the releases within a broader anniversary schedule. Overall, the sources consistently tie the news to SEGA’s ongoing 35th anniversary push.
