Fan Scene: Hilariously Accurate Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 2D Fan Game

Sunday, August 21st, 2011

I’ve been unhealthily addicted to Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 this weekend. This is clearly a bad thing as the game is probably the worst in Sonic history. It’s even worse that I’m beginning to learn what bugs the game and compensate for it, making it look like there’s very little wrong with it when I’m playing. SEGA should have got me to market it.

Then I remembered a little fan game project a came across a little while back on the Sonic Retro forums. This is a 2D recreation of Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 and it’s scarily accurate. Check out some gameplay below:

If anyone wants to give this a go then the Wave Ocean demo is here and a Kingdom Valley demo is here. They’re both 1 stage demos, but if you’re a sucker for punishment (like me) then you may want to check them out.

Controls: Space to jump, C to bounce/light-dash/grind switch, arrows for movement.

Fan Scene: Sonic 2K6 2D Final Version Released

Tuesday, February 8th, 2011

4 years ago, BlazeHedgehog (infamous for his fan-game ‘Sonic: The Fated Hour’) was developing a 2D remake of Sonic the Hedgehog 06.

Why remake one of the worst Sonic games of all time? Blaze explains that he was disappointed by the game’s release as all the pre-release hype promised “a High-Def, Next-Generation return to the good parts of the original Sonic Adventure” which was obviously appealing to most Sonic fans at the time.

Unfortunately, all hope for the project was lost when Blaze encountered computer problems which meant he hasn’t been able to access the source material for 4 years.

Earlier this year Blaze finally managed to gain access to the source material and has to decided to polish up the game and release it as is (approximately 85% complete) as he doesn’t have the time to finish it completely.

Check out the below trailer to see what the final release includes:

You can download the game for free by following this link. It’s a frantic little affair that is tremendous fun to play and well worth your time. You can read more about the game by clicking here.
