A GameStop store in Germany has broken the European release date for the Nintendo 3DS version of Sonic Generations. SSMB member Thigolf went into the store today to pick up a copy of Super Mario 3D Land and was surprised to find Sonic Generations available to purchase 8 days before its November 25th release. Needless to say, Thigolf snapped up a copy and is playing it right now.

UPDATE: Thigolf has shared lots of new information with us about the game.

*The only characters in the game are Sonic, Tails, Eggman and the rivals.
*After you beat the boss (or Green Hill in the first era) youre free to choose which zone and act of the era you wanna do first.
*After you beat the rival of an era, the boss is unlocked
*The rivals are all races like Metal Sonic in Sonic CD and take part in Casino Night, Radical Highway and Tropical Resort
*The Bosses are Big Arm, Biolizard (SA2) and Egg Emperor (Heroes)
*In the Special Stages, you collect the orbs to get the boost and chase the emerald. You have to catch him within 1:30 min.
*Classic Sonic unlocks the homing attack after the classic era, Modern Sonic unlocks the stomp after the Dreamcast era.
*You can find the electric shields from the Advance and Rush games for Classic Sonic
*The missions cost 5 Playcoins each

Level info:
*The Whale in Classic Emerald Coast destroys the path behind you kind of like the Truck in the HD Version does
*In Modern Emerald Coast, he jumps out of the water and you have to do a little quick time event to make him crash against the wall (poor guy)
*Modern Radical Highway has lots of grinding parts on the bridge
*In Water Palace Classic Sonic needs to activate the switches to make the water pumps, that shoot you up, work (could be gramatically false, sorry) The level also has a bubble maschine that creates bubbles so you can cross holes
*The Back 2 Back remix in the Modern Level seems more funky and has more rock elements
*Classic Tropical Resort seems to be based more on the DS Version of Colors designwise, he also has the DS exclusive Red Wisp and has a Rocket Part at the end where so jump from rocket to rocket before they explode to get up
*Modern Tropical Resort is more based on the Wii Version and has the Cyan Wisp, at the end you grind on rails and you have to avoide falling meteors

Thanks to Thigolf at the SSMB for the heads up and the pics.

  1. o_O first the console version in texas, then spain and now a 3ds version in germany? i bet hitlar is going mad over it XD

      1. it really bugs me when people mention hitler EVERY time Germany is brought up.
        Germans hate when Nazis are brought up.
        just because they’re German doesn’t mean they even supported it.
        i don’t call the British “Red Coats”.

  3. VizardJeffhog go to the general 3ds chat.
    the HD Stardust speedway for metal sonic race/ you can hit him also.

    And I know it from the start. Classic Sonic unlocks the homing attack after the classic era.

    1. Biolizard = dreamcast boss

      I’m alittle disappointed but at the same time I can understand its inclusion. it parallels Perfect chaos in the console version

        1. Will YOU GET OFF MY BACK ALREADY. Man one was fine but now its annoying. I’m obviously not throwing you lies. How about you go to the fourms or bette yet the info is here now so read and leave me alone.

  7. gwahahahhahaha

    @Darkspine Inferno: I think there are parts you need it, but mainly to get to higher routes. But some of these passages are still in there.

  8. I think this is showing the shutdown of sonic the hedgehog, again. It seems like “Sonic CD” all over again…. I hope that SEGA revolkes the license from the companies that are releasing it early.

  11. Wait, what is the release date? I assumed it was out tomorrow, since Game.co.uk already sent out my copy…

      1. Huh. Well, Game claim they sent out my copy on Monday. Though they sent out Zelda and Mario at the same time, and they both arrived yesterday without Generations.

  13. And in an odd turn of events it seems that Egg Emperor is the modern boss. color me confused.

    Console considers it part of the dreamcast era
    handheld considers it part of the modern era. ( in all honest this seems like the more correct option.)

      1. I don’t have the game thigolf does and he has proven he has it cuz of the modern emerald coast video he posted in SSMB.

  16. What?! Biolizard is a boss in the 3DS version? Ripoff! lol i wish Biolizard was a boss in the console version.

  18. Wow…my mind went totally blank right now…so, if missions cost 5 playcoin, and there are 100. We need how many to unlock them all? It’s such an easy thing to figure out, but my mind went totally blank….0.o

      1. See! I knew it would be an easy answer. And for someone who is graduated…you’d think I would get it…wow. But thanks, dude.

          1. Ahem…people have mind blanks, that you very much. However, I will not lower myself to your level, and curse at you. Thank you.

  20. I find it interesting that the Console version has a better level list, while the 3DS version has a better boss list.

    1. True….I think both versions should of offered more bosses and levels thoughman I was disappointed with the console version choice back then 😐

  21. Play coins? You mean the things you get by walking with the 3DS system? The ones that may be the stupidest idea in the history of handheld gaming? Those are necessary? ………………ffffffffFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-

    But seriously, Biolizard could be fun to fight. I’m still not too impressed by how gameplay looks though.

    1. play coins is the only option for those of us that can’t fully use the streepass functionality which unlocks the missions as well.

  22. B-B-B….Biolizard? *SA2 FAN-SQUEAL*

    I’m hoping he meant ‘The Finalhazard’ and not the ‘Biolizard’ with Shadow. If so, LIVEANDLEARNREMIXLIVEANDLEARNREMIX!!!!!!!!!! 😀

    Shadzter edit: Please don’t make really long chains of text like your LIVEANDLEARNREMIX one, because they stretch the page. I’ve shrunk it down a bit now.

  27. It’s happening in the US too. I was in the Glenmont, New York Wal-Mart today. Guess what was in the game case, eight days ahead of street date?

    I don’t have a 3DS, so I didn’t get it.

  28. -_- yet another reason i won’t be getting the 3ds version, but the console version is…already beat it, only have 2 red rings in city escape left, curse you trick ramp

  29. @NauseousPenguin: me too oh there is audio of tropical resort modern, but I don’t know if I’m allowed to post urls to other sonic web tabliods, heck idk about the name

  30. I think we have another Street Date Break! I was in Montreal yesterday, and managed to get a copy of the 3DS version from Game Buzz in Centre Eaton. That’s er… 3 or 4 days early?

  31. I know I won’t be heard but here goes

    When I was at Sainsbury’s in Ladbroke Grove this morning, I noticed that they have already put up the Display Cases of Sonic Generations 3DS, even though it comes out on Friday right. Well the price of it is £37.99 and I’ll have the picture on SSMB board somehow.
