Oh well, theres always emulation.
Or forking out literally twice as much for Sonic Origins, I suppose.
Sonic Origins is priced at 33/$40/40.

Theyre not leaving us the option to buy the classic versions as an alternative either.
Sega announced Sonic Originswill launch on June 23rd, which just so happens to be Sonics 31st birthday.
Or Sonics 31st 15th birthday, as RPS commenter KingFunk astutely pointed out at the time of the announcement.

It wouldnt be a birthday without an over-priced gift after all.
Not quite in the same spirit as when Sega gave away some sweetretro-style gamesfor their 60th birthday in 2020.
Theyre all over hereon Steam.
