Sonic Origins - Animated cutscenes, Mirror Mode, and more | Nintendo Switch News | NintendoReporters

 [![Sonic Origins – Animated cutscenes, Mirror Mode, and more](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/sonic-origins-animated-cutscenes-mirror-mode-and-more.jpeg "Sonic Origins – Animated cutscenes, Mirror Mode, and more")](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/sonic-origins-animated-cutscenes-mirror-mode-and-more.jpeg)SEGA revealed new information on Sonic Origins, its planned collection of classic Sonic The Hedgehog games for the Nintendo Switch.

Famitsu published the newest set of information, which shows off the new animation sequences that will be included in the collection, as well as gameplay elements like the globe map, mirror mode, and the museum. Mirror mode, in example, is an intriguing new feature that enables players to play the game from right to left rather of left to right.
