Sonic & Knuckles on Virtual Console next week

via Computer and Video Games


We've got more good news for fans of 2D Sonic games this morning. Following the announcement that Sonic will return to 2D action in Sonic the Hedgehog 4, ONM has confirmed that Mega Drive classic, Sonic & Knuckles will be coming to Virtual Console on February 12.

Sonic & Knuckles was originally released in 1994 and its release on Virtual Console ensures that you will be able to download the four best Sonic platformers for Wii from next week.

Sonic's tale follows directly on from the end of Sonic The Hedgehog 3 with our hero falling to Earth on Robotnik's damaged Death Egg. He manages to leap off and land in a mushroom filled woodland where he attempts to locate and destroy the Master Emerald whilst keeping an eye out for Knuckles.

Meanwhile EggRobo drops a bomb on a dozing Knuckles who then goes on a mission to stop EggRobo from stealing the Master Emerald.

Will we be able to play Sonic 3 & Knuckles though? That's all we're interested in.
