Sonic Frontiers director - Look forward to 2D Sonic games | General News | NintendoReporters

 [![Sonic Frontiers director – Look forward to 2D Sonic games](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/sonic-frontiers-director-look-forward-to-2d-sonic-games.jpeg "Sonic Frontiers director – Look forward to 2D Sonic games")](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/sonic-frontiers-director-look-forward-to-2d-sonic-games.jpeg)It was a busy year for Sonic the Hedgehog in 2022, and it seems that 2023 will also be very busy. Having said that, Sonic’s 2D game franchise has, for the most part, maintained a low profile. The collection of vintage Sonic games known as Sonic Origins was made available for purchase late in the previous year. Apart from that, the most recent new 2D Sonic game was released in 2017, and it was called Sonic Mania.

According to the director of Sonic Frontiers, Morio Kishimoto, who responded to a fan’s question on his Twitter account, fans should expect more Sonic games with side-scrolling gameplay in the future.

**Redefining the Sound of the Past**

With the freshly restored version of Sonic Origins, you may relive the iconic adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Sonic 3 & Knuckles, and Sonic CD! You’ll race down memory lane as you try to foil the devious schemes of Doctor Robotnik in pristine high definition, from the recognizable Green Hill Zone to the dangerous Death Egg Robot. New regions to discover, original animations, and a fresh mode to celebrate the game’s anniversary are all included in this most recent update.

**Redefining the Traditional**

Experience the original Sonic games in high definition, along with all new opening and closing animations for each game in the collection!

**New Abilities to Unlock**

By completing a variety of quests and gathering coins, players may get access to more material, challenges, and Special Stages inside the Museum.

**Both Traditional and the Anniversary Mode**

You have the option of playing through the game’s multiple zones using either the “Classic” mode, which has the game’s original resolution and a limited number of lives, or the “Anniversary” mode, which features an unlimited number of lives and a redesigned fullscreen resolution.
