That placement in the Sonic timeline got some fans thinking: what if this game had been 16-bit, and what if it were a sequel to Sonic 3 & Knuckles? What if it were, essentially, Sonic 4? This 8-but title is actually older than Sonic’s other classic 2D adventures, releasing for the Sega Game Gear handheld a few months after Sonic & Knuckles hit Mega Drive. Most notable of these is Sonic the Hedgehog: Triple Trouble. A few of these games were loose adaptations of their Mega Drive equivalents – but a few were all-original affairs. Because the 8-bit games came out at roughly the same time as the 16-bit games, they’re rightly not as revered or beloved – but they are still, broadly, lovely little platformers that attempt to adapt the Sonic formula for much weaker platforms. But now, Sonic fans have another reason to celebrate: the release of Sonic Triple Trouble… but in a new format.įor those of you who aren’t a thousand years old, Triple Trouble is a classic 8-bit Sonic game. Sonic Frontiers has looked brilliant and troubled in alternating media drops, and Sonic Origins offered fans the definitive versions of the 2D classics they’ve been clamoring for – except they were riddled with bugs, and weren’t really definitive. It’s been a bit of an up-and-down year to be a Sonic fan.
