Sonic Generations 3DS Mixes 16-bit and Rush Gameplay

10:30 at nintendolife.com

Handheld twist on the series

SEGA's Sonic Generations on PS3 and Xbox 360 will join "Classic Sonic" — the slightly portly, pale blue, side-scrolling version of the hero — with "Modern Sonic", the leaner, laser fast interpretation familiar from recent 3D releases such as Sonic Colours and Sonic Unleashed.

Wii Just Couldn’t Handle Sonic Generations

08:00 at nintendolife.com

Not up to the task

Sonic Generations is coming to 3DS, and there was much rejoicing, but Wii owners are still nursing the disappointment that theirs is the only current home console not set to receive the spiky speedster's 20th anniversary celebration game. In an interview in this month's Nintendo Power, Sonic Team boss Takashi Iizuka reveals why:

The primary goal for the console versions of Generations was re-imagining the series' classic zones in vivid, high-definition graphics. The Wii hardware wasn't a good fit for that concept, so we abandoned development on that, and decided that for our Nintendo audience, we would make a fresh start with a N3DS version of Generations.

This isn't the first time Wii's lack of graphical grunt and true HD output has prevented a multiformat title from making the jump across, but it's still disappointing that this celebration of Sonic's 20 year career won't be coming to Wii.
