At a recentSonic Generationspanel during Paris Games Week, Sonic Team’s Takashi Iizuka revealed that the originalSonic the Hedgehogwill be available in the upcoming nostalgic platformer as a full unlockable game.

Sonic Team also showed off the game’s level hub, which is a scrolling selection of doors containing levels and littered with Sonic’s furry friends. Don’t worry — their inclusion seems minimal and not too horrific.

Sonic 1is a cool bonus but it’s a shame they couldn’t include all the Genesis titles. Of course, by “couldn’t” I mean “didn’t want to” because SEGA could easily have tossed those in, the cheeky bastards.

[Thanks Isshak!]
