SEGA Japan’s YouTube channel has unleashed a trailer for 3D Sonic the Hedgehog 2, the upcoming M2 port for 3DS. If you have a 3D-enabled display you can view the trailer in its intended stereoscopic 3D format. Check it out below:
3D Sonic the Hedgehog 2 launches in the West in September this year for the 3DS eShop. It will feature a new Ring Keep mode which halves the amount of rings you lose every time you get hit.
A new mode called Ring Keep has been revealed for the 3DS port of Sonic 2.
3D Sonic the Hedgehog 2 will now feature a mode that allows you to start a stage with 10 rings but every time you take damage the amount of rings you lose are halved. This also means the amount of rings you’re allowed to scrape back after a hit is greatly reduced. It’s an interesting addition that should make for some challenging gameplay for seasoned players.
Also announced is 2 player co-op and versus modes will be available to play through wireless connectivity but both players will need their own copy of 3D Sonic the Hedgehog 2. The game will have the standard M2 features of quick saves and the option to play the Japanese or international version of the game.
3D Out Run is released today! You can now grab the latest port of the SEGA AM2 arcade-driving classic from the 3DS eShop and we suggest that you do because M2 have done a marvelous job in making this the definitive version of the game (and it’s portable!). Check out the launch trailer for the game below:
A fascinating new interview with M2 employees Yosuke Okunari and Naoki Horii about 3D After Burner II has gone live on SEGA’s official blog. The new interview details the difficulties in porting the game to 3DS and the increased game difficulty that was brought about by the addition of stereoscopic 3D. It’s a fascinating little read that will be continued in a second part which will go live tomorrow.
