New Sonic 4: Episode 1 details revealed

Sonic is coming to consoles in a brand new episodic side scrolling adventure. With Episode 1 nearing its summer release date, details are starting to emerge, thanks to Game Informer’s latest issue. Here’s the latest list of new information about the title:

  • Episode 1 is a prologue to the main story
  • Tails and Knuckles are teased to return in Episode 2
  • Moves include: Spin Dash, Rolling Attack, Homing Attack and a fourth mystery one
  • Classic special stages will be returning
  • The graphics aren’t 3D, but CG pre-renders
  • If you don’t get all the Chaos Emeralds, you’ll receive a classic “Try Again” ending. Getting all the emeralds results in a cliffhanger tease for Episode 2

A possible Tails and Knuckles presence in Episode 2? Sounds great to me. Are you happy that Sonic is finally returning to his old self in a brand new title?
