Sonic just hasn’t been the same ever since he made the jump into the third dimension. As one of the most famous and beloved side-scrolling icons, it’s extremely difficult to watch the series’ steady decline.
This may all be about to change though, with the release of Sonic The Hedgehog 4: Episode 1 .
The game will be returning to its roots which is what made Sonic the icon that he is today. This time though, you won’t have to sit through painful 3D action sequences in order to get your side-scrolling Sonic fix. While the art style will differ from the Sonic games of old, this seems to be the perfect fan-service, providing just the nostalgia that Sonic needs to get him back on his feet.
After the jump, check out these brand new screens from the “Sunset” level of Episode 1.
