Update: Nintendo has added the game to its website and like the other games in the Sega 3D Classics line it’s $5.99!

Well, it’s a little later than planned (they just said September), but not by that much. 😛
Sega of America confirmed today on twitter that the game is finally coming out at least in NA on October 8th, after having already been released in Japan back on July 22nd.
The 3DS version actually has a wireless co-op multiplayer feature where one player is Sonic, and the other is an invincible version of Tails to assist Sonic in the game, basically like you did on the TV back in the day. You’re also able to save at anytime and can now more easily unlock Super Sonic just by beating the game on any mode, which gives Sonic all the chaos emeralds when the feature is turned on.
Sadly at the moment there’s no release date yet for Europe.
Good news! Perhaps this will be the first game I’ll buy in the eShop.
I read your “Good news!” in Professor Farnsworths (Futurama) voice… :p
what sucks is that this is not the stealth/Taxman version that we love the most.
Wait… Only need to beat main game for Super Sonic. Awsome! I never could get him in any of the classics anyway.
Except this time no DAMN HALF PIPE SPECIAL STAGES WOOT I DON’T HAVE TO DEBUG NOW
I know right? I hate Sonic 2’s special stage…
Only every beat one of those anyway. They were hard.
