SONIC THE HEDGEHOG PC DIGITAL DOWNLOAD EXTRAVAGANZA!
LONDON & SAN FRANCISCO — 19th January, 2011 — SEGA® Europe Ltd. and SEGA® of America, Inc. are delighted to announce three exciting Sonic the Hedgehog adventures will be available for the PC Digital Download market from today.
Following on from the successful launch of Sonic Generations™ for the PC digital market in December 2011, the stunning new downloadable Sonic Generations™ Casino Night Pinball Stage is now available, adding to a grand adventure with Classic and Modern Sonic racing to defeat the Time Eater, save their friends and find out who really is behind all these strange happenings.
Sonic CD™ follows the classic story line from the original 1993 MEGA CD™ system game with Sonic racing through time to save Amy-Rose from his evil mechanical twin Metal Sonic. This super speedy remake includes brand new features and will be hitting PC digital stores for the first time today!
Finally, as an added bonus the much anticipated Sonic the Hedgehog™ 4 Episode I will be available, enabling PC owners to enjoy the beautifully rendered HD environments of the much-loved special stages and a variety of different Zones, all inspired by the Mega Drive era. The Sonic 4 saga will continue to grow in 2012 with the new side-scrolling adventure Sonic the Hedgehog™ 4 Episode II releasing later this year for PC digital download.

If I were a PC gamer, I would scream right now. 😀
I’m screaming in my head (cuz there are other people around, too shamed to scream aloud XD). The day just became even better!
Time for the mods! Hopefully some of those physics issues can be fixed w/ the mods. 😉
@thebluehedgehog: Hopefully you won’t need mods because SEGA’s ALREADY IRONING OUT ALL OF THE ISSUES FROM THE LAST GAME.
cool
This sounds good! Can’t wait to see the reviews and see how good it is.
“In the meantime, PC fans can finally experience the first episode of Sonic the Hedgehog 4.”
I’m not sure “experience” is the right word, Sega…
That’s my text you’re quoting, not SEGA’s :p SEGA’s words are in the press release.
Either way he thinks it might not be the right word.
Tho I don’t see why he would think that. “Experience” has no positive or negative meaning. lol
So instead of a Wii release, we get a PC release.
I’m okay with this.
I’m glad SEGA is continuing to show PC love ^.^ I hope to see another main console series game released on PC (like Generations)
After all these recent Sonic PC releases it’s not a big suprise. I was expecting S4:EP2 PC announce since EP1 was discovered in Steam Registry
Shadz, not that i don’t trust you because i 100% do allot more then TSSZ, but wheres the source of this article? i’m curious because SEGA usually puts press releases on their blog or news area but i checked both and they didn’t yet. was it somewhere else they confirmed it like gamespot?
Oh thank Christ! Being a Wii owner, I was worried that I was going to have t give this one a miss!
