W najnowszym magazynie NintendoPower pojawiła się pierwsza wzmianka na temat trójwymiarowej edycji Sonic Generations. Lista ficzerów jest całkiem spora i pozostawiam ją Wam do lektury poniżej. Co warto odnotować to fakt, że gra ma być specjalnie dostosowana do Nintendo 3DS a nie „tylko konwersją” z dużych konsol. Pojawią się m.in. nowe poziomy czy dodatkowe bonusy, które będzie można odkryć używając StreePass i PlayCoins. W galerii możecie zobaczyć również pierwsze obrazki, nie są one jednak zbyt dobrej jakości bo zostały zeskanowane z magazynu.
