Launching in March 2010, Sonic Classic Collection will include Sonic the Hedgehog 1-3 and Sonic & Knuckles.

Hey, remember when we reported that Sonic the Hedgehog 2 was slated to be the Xbox Live Deal of the Week for the week of November 30? Well, guess what? It is the week of November 30! Sure enough, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 can now be downloaded for a mere 240
; otherwise known as three dollars. That’s two bucks off, making It a pretty good deal, especially if you conveniently forget how many times you’ve purchased the game over the years.
Barring that, you can always shamefully push the purchase button anyway.

The BBFC classification site lists a “Sonic Classic Collection” coming to DS soon. Normally, with these ratings, we’d be left to speculate as to the identity of the games on the collection — however, the BBFC helpfully provided a list of games on the cart!
According to the rating, it’ll feature Sonic 1-3, plus Sonic and Knuckles — with the ability to virtually “Lock-on” and play as Knuckles in the older games. Also included in the shockingly specific list of in-game content: Sonic Chronicles and “The History of Sonic” video content and the art gallery.
We can only hope it turns out better than Sonic the Hedgehog Genesis on GBA.

According to Sega, the XBLA version of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 will soon become an Xbox Live Deal of the Week. The deal is scheduled to begin November 30 — just in time for the holidays — and will see the game’s price drop from 400 ($5) to just 240 ($3). That’s an absolute pittance for one of the best Sonic games out there, and with Project Needlemouse still a long way out, you’d be hard-pressed to do much better (seriously).

Third-party peripheral purveyor Mad Catz has announced a new licensing agreement with Sega of America, which should see all manner of multiplatform Sonic the Hedgehog-branded accessories make their way onto store shelves sometime in the future. Darren Richardson, CEO and president of Mad Catz, is positively thrilled, saying, “We look forward to offering unique and exciting accessories to fans of this truly iconic videogame and popular culture character.”
Since the words “unique and exciting” haven’t been used to describe anything Sonic-related in years, it’s hard to imagine just how Mad Catz will leverage this license — short of becoming the next anthropomorphic sidekick. (Mad Catz: He doesn’t care what you think and wears a beret!) Obviously, next year’s release of a high-definition 2D Sonic game, Project Needlemouse, represents a great opportunity for tie-in peripherals. Perhaps a luxurious pillow covered in special tear-absorbing fabric.
