While some people on the Twitter-verse are proclaiming that some stores broke street date on Sonic Generations, most are waiting for Nov. 1 to spin dash in for their chance to experience a game “20 years” in the making.
According to Sega, that amount waiting is one of the largest crowds the series has ever seen, with the developer touting that the game “exceeded all previous pre-order records from the 20-year Sonic catalog, making it the most anticipated title in Sonic the Hedgehog’s iconic history.”
Certainly not a claim to scoff at, even considering the concept of “pre-ordering” a title may not have applied back in the 16-bit Era. Given impressions from the few that have their hands on the game, the wait looks to be worth it.

You deserve the high sales, Sonic Team. You did well in taking your time to curve, chizzel and create a perfect quality game to which I will get eagerly because it has the best of both worlds! I’m happy for you, I’mma let you finish, but Sonic Generations is the best game of all time! OFF ALL TIME!!!!!!! TAKE MY MONEY!!!!!
The wait BETTER be worth it. Well I know I’m getting the special edition so I know at least that will be worth it, who doesn’t want a replica gold ring and a statue of 2 Sonic’s?

It’s Sonic’s Second Coming… /endbiblicalreference
well,how can you not pre-order this game,having to play once again as both Super Sonic’s,re-picturing those stages we wanted to see with HD(and 3D)quality and beating the crap out of those guys which tortured Sonic through his 20 years?The only way you will not pre-order this is that you don’t have the money on time…
Hopefully this’ll encourage them to bring back the classic gameplay in future titles!
I cancelled my pre-order at gamestop today so i could go buy it at best buy lol. Just beat it, this game rules!
Hehe, I’m definitely thinking this will have them retracting this previous statement of not bringing Classic Sonic back.
*Eagerly awaits seeing the green eyed freak thrown under a bus.*
I preordered it today. O_o
I ran out of money to preorder thanks to rent going up $100. X.x
