Earlier today the Sonic the Hedgehog Twitter announced the Sonic Mania Collector’s Edition for North America.
In addition to a download code for the game itself (of course!) on a metallic collector’s card, the pack features a 12 inch statue of Sonic standing on a Sega Genesis console – with added “Sega!” chorus when you flip the power switch – and a mock Genesis cartridge for Mania that opens up to reveal a golden ring. It’s about at close as we’ll get to an actual Sonic Mania cartridge!
The Sonic Mania Collectors Edition is priced at $69.99 ($89.99 in Canada), and is now available to pre-order at Amazon US/Ca:
Sonic Mania Collector’s Edition (Xbox One) (Canada)
Sonic Mania Collector’s Edition (Playstation 4) (Canada)
Sonic Mania Collector’s Edition (PC) (Canada)
The PS4 version briefly appeared as sold out, so supplies may be limited.
The Amazon listing also mentions a release date of May 31st 2017, which I believe is the first indication we’ve had of a solid release date. Time will tell if it turns out to be true.
No word on what (if anything?) the rest of the world is getting, but I can only hope it looks as good as this pack does!
That’s pretty cool and all, but i’d much rather have a physical copy of the game. If it was done in a faux-Mega Drive case, even better!
Wow, the Sonic twitter account actually listens.
It looks okay.
YES!! 😀
I would seriously hope we get this over in the UK as well! Would love to have this by the Generations collectors statue! 😀
I’ve pre-ordered it about an hour ago. Even if It’s North America exclusive, you can still get it shipped to the United Kingdom. Although you have to put in more money for the Importing, It’s worth every penny
Looks pretty dang awesome. I love all the touches; the metallic card, the gold ring in the cartridge.. and that stand sounds really tall! 12″?! I hope this pre-order offer is/will be offered through Best Buy in stores here in the US..!
Why not just get it from Amazon? I just pre-ordered mine a few hours ago.
Pffff… I get a Sonic Hat with Sonic Boom Fire and Ice… why on earth would I need this?!
I’m glad North America is getting a collectors edition of a game since Europe had the Generations Collectors Edition. I pre-ordered this as soon as I saw the tweet from the official Sonic Twitter!
Pre ordered and worth the import duties to the UK.
Seriously SEGA. A collector edition without a physical disc in it doesn’t even seem like a collector edition. What a waste.
Yeahhhhh I like Sonic Mania Collectors Edition a lot is like they have some neat stuff something fancy I would say to discover it!!!
Meh.
Mine!
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!
Normally I would be…indifferent towards the standard Triple A Pre-Order Bait Collecter’s Edition nonsense, but I’m actually amused by just how much better this is than the Sonic Lost World Pre-Order bonus. Not that that’s saying much. At least you get a pretty nifty statue in this one.
And still no Nintendo platform announced.
Are Nintendo fans not good enough for this game.
Take a hint! It’s not even like this game is only coming out on niche platformers or only ones nobody gives a toss about HINT HINT.
So why hasn’t it been announced for the Wii U, 3DS, or NX? It’s not like its a hard game to port.
It’s because by that time, the NX will be out, and Nintendo’s Exclusivity Deal is over. Still, what if it’s a Digital Release? I’m not complaining, since I hardly ever get ANY Sonic Stuff! The statue will look great next to my Jazwares Metal Sonic.
