The classic Sega Genesis game Sonic 2 will be released on February 20th on the Nintendo Switch as a “Sega Ages” release: https://segaages.sega.com/project/sonic-the-hedgehog-2/
A recent interview with M2, the team who ported the game, reveals that there’s a lot more to this version than just a basic port. Some features added:
- The ability to play as Knuckles, as would happen if you connected Sonic 2 to the Sonic and Knuckles cart.
- Implemented Drop Dash from Sonic Mania
- ‘HD vibration’ rumble support
- Challenge mode; Compete for fastest time to beat a level with 100 rings
- Online ranking
- CRT “Vintage” Filter; More elaborate than Genesis Mini or 3DS filters
It looks like M2 is also working on a Sega Ages port of Puyo Puyo 2, based on the arcade version. I believe this marks the first time that game will get an “official” release outside of Japan.
