A small tidbit of newsfrom this week’s issue of Famitsuhas revealed that edgy echidna Knuckles will be making an appearance in Sega Ages’ upcomingSonic the Hedgehog 2re-release, headed to Nintendo Switch at some point in the future.
Knuckles’ appearance will be made possible by the inclusion of “Knuckles the Echidna in Sonic the Hedgehog 2,” a special mode that could be accessed on the Sega Mega Drive back in ’94 by plugging aSonic 2cartridge intoSonic & Knuckles. This allowed players to run throughSonic 2as the red menace, complete with his unique abilities.
This isn’t the only tweak coming to the Switch release ofSonic 2, as the “Drop Dash” ability from the greatSonic Maniawill also be implemented, as will a “Super Sonic Mode,” which gives players possession of all of the Chaos Emeralds right from the off. Not too shabby.
Despite this reveal, there is currently no release date for Sega Ages’Sonic the Hedgehog 2.
