User blog:Flouryjarl/Standalone Sonic titles to be delisted May 20th ahead of Sonic Origins release

Gotta Go Fast… and buy some old Sonic games before they’re delisted. With the Sonic Originscollection on its way June 26th, Sega has confirmed that the standalone digital versions of Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic 2, Sonic 3 & Knuckles, and Sonic CD will be delisted on May 20th. Although we don’t have all the details, the statement shared by Twitter user @Tracker_TD does offer a few exceptions. The Sega Ages releases of Sonic 1 and Sonic 2 on Nintendo Switch will remain online as will the version of Sonic 2 included in the Nintendo Switch Online service.

Standalone digital releases of the games are spread across Steam, Nintendo 3DS, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and on mobile for Android and iOS. Of particular note are the 3D releases for Nintendo 3DS which offer a unique presentation and are a little harder to track down physically; 3D Sonic is included in Sega 3D Classics Collection but 3D Sonic 2 is only available on a cart with the Japanese release of Sega 3D Fukkoku Archives 3: Final Stage.

So without any more specifics to go on, here are links to all the standalone versions I could track down. I’ll probably be back to add some more in time:
