Nintendo Acción says new Sonic game is coming to 3DS

It’s no secret that a new Sonic game is in development for the 3DS. We’ve known that SEGA has been working on the title for almost a year, when a listing popped up on a huge list of games for the handheld during last year’s E3. It’s been a long time for sure, yet the company has been quiet about their Sonic plans for the 3DS.

Recently, there have been rumors about Sonic Generations coming to Nintendo’s portable. The project was actually listed on SEGA’s latest earnings report before being removed shortly thereafter.

Now the latest issue of Nintendo Acción is saying that Sonic is coming to the 3DS, but the magazine didn’t provide concrete details. Only the following blurb was written (roughly translated):

“Just at the end of this number, SEGA confirmed to us that a new Sonic is underway to 3DS. And we’re not talking only of the next Olympic challenge, with Mario, if not a new product exclusivity.”

So, what’s the deal? This notice only says that the Sonic game isn’t the Olympics title. We still don’t know if Sonic Generations is on its way to the 3DS, nor do we know if something else entirely is heading to the platform. Let’s hope that E3 brings us some answers.
