Sonic Origins Plus trailer

SEGA has readied a new trailer to celebrate the launch of Sonic Origins Plus. The updated release features twelve Sonic Game Gear titles, playable Knuckles in Sonic CD, and Amy Rose as a playable character in Sonic the Hedgehog 1, 2, Sonic 3 & Knuckles, and Sonic CD for the first time. The pack also contains previously released add-on content: Extreme Missions, Mirror Mode, new character animations, and additional backgrounds and music.

Those interested in picking up the upcoming physical version of Sonic Origins Plus might be disappointed to hear that not everything is included on the cartridge. Based on boxes showing up at retailers – specifically GameStop in this case – it seems that the new content is instead offered as a download code.
