Sonic the Hedgehog Remastered is apparently going to release later this month for Android and iOS at the North American price of $2.99. No UK pricing has been announced at this time but we have our first taste of gameplay from the game below. Check out that beautiful widescreen action:
Sonic the Hedgehog Remastered is being ported by Christian Whitehead (who previously ported Sonic CD) and Stealth, a coder from Sonic Retro.
VizardJeffhog at The Sonic Stadium has orchestrated an enormous Sonic and SEGA music project called The Sonic Stadium Music Adventure 2012 which sees a huge amount (over 40) of different fan artists and musicians contribute to one of the biggest remix albums ever.
The collection spans 10 discs and 8 hours in length and it’s available to download now.
If anyone is interested, I am one half of the artist known as Two Worlds Unfold who contribute a rock cover of Lee Brotherton/Bentley Jones’ Dreams of an Absolution from the Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 soundtrack.

SEGA have announced pre-order exclusives for Company of Heroes 2.
Pre-order the game and receive the Theatre of War bonus mini-campaign which will arrive shortly after launch. Also included is 2 vehicle skin packs for use in multiplayer as well as 2 extra commanders also for use in multiplayer.
Company of Heroes 2 launches in June and is the first game from Relic Entertainment under its’ new owner at SEGA.
Aliens: Colonial Marines’ Wii-U appearance has been cancelled after SEGA quietly confirmed the cancellation to Kotaku.
Aliens: Colonial Marines for Wii-U was under development at Demiurge Studios as opposed to Gearbox Software who developed the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 versions. The Wii-U version was going to be a much different beast entirely and was going to utilise the gamepad for exclusive motion tracker action. Unfortunately we can only wonder what could have been.
The Creative Assembly’s australian division has closed. The Creative Assembly’s australian branch was responsible for Sonic Classic Collection on DS and the overwhelmingly poorly received Stormrise. The studio will close “later this year”. It is unknown whether the studio has any projects active at this time and whether they are affected by the closure.
Remember when the Brazilian ratings board outed the existence of a Castle of Illusion re-release? Well the game still hasn’t been officially announced but now we have the XBLA box art courtesy of Lifelower on Twitter.
Interestingly, the box art is completely new artwork which may suggest this is more than a simple re-release of the Mega Drive original. Could a true HD remaster be in the works?
The Wii-U version of Aliens: Colonial Marines has missed its’ launch window. The game was supposed to be released by the 31st of March as per comment from SEGA. When questioned about the release this morning, SEGA responded with a simple “no comment”.
Aliens: Colonial Marines on the Wii-U is being developed by Demiurge Studios and is expected to be somewhat different to the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 versions. Will the game see the light of day or has the negative reception already received by the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 versions changed SEGA’s stance on the Wii-U release?
