The new Sonic Origins offers players the chance to play classic titles while introducing new gameplay modes, like Mirror Mode. Sonic Origins is a celebration of Sonic's birthday, bringing four classic Sega Genesis titles to modern consoles: Sonic the Hedgehog 1, Sonic 2, Sonic 3 & Knuckles, and Sonic CD. This follows a recent trend of bringing back retro-styled games, like TMNT: Shredder's Revenge. The titles are remastered for modern consoles, although players have the option of playing them in the original 4:3 aspect ratio, called Classic Mode. In addition to Classic Mode, Sega has remastered all four games for widescreen play in Anniversary Mode. This isn't the only new game mode; players can also unlock Mirror Mode.
Sonic Origins offers players old and new the chance to relive the past experience of classic Sonic games. In addition to offering Classic Mode, Sonic Origins also brings back a staple of old-school console gaming: local co-op. Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 & Knuckles, two of the four games in Sonic Origins, offer local co-op, just like the originals. Sonic Origins is listed for $40, but to add more content, players can also do Story Mode, where they play through all four games in one long series, with an all-new animation and cartoon added to tie the games together. Another new feature to encourage players to come back is the new Mirror Mode.
