Sonic Generations US Release Date Officially Confirmed, 3DS Date Still Unclear

SEGA has updated their Sonic Generations product page in all territories with their respective release dates for the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions. Though SEGA’s ad at IGN gave it away last month, we now officially know the game will launch in the US on November 1st, and as reported earlier, November 4th in Europe and November 3rd in Australia.

EU
PS3 & Xbox 360: November 4th 2011
3DS: November 2011

US
PS3 & Xbox 360: November 1st 2011
3DS: Late 2011

AU
PS3 & Xbox 360: November 3rd 2011
3DS: November 2011

As for the Nintendo 3DS version of Sonic Generations, there is no release date clearer than November to speak of, which suggests the game will release on that platform later in the month. We’ll let you know when a release date for the that version of the game is revealed.

    ok….kinda already knew this though

    • Yeah, SEGA’s late to the party on their own details as usual XD We’re just covering it because it’s the official revealing of the date.

  2. NauseousPenguin says:

    Alright! Nov. first is going to be better than the holiday that precedes it!

  3. SonicSilverSS says:

    Hm…The US 3DS version says’ Late 2011′ …Hope it’s still November…

    • It should be. SEGA had the PS3 and Xbox 360 version down as ‘Late 2011′ for the US before they updated it today, despite the fact they kept saying November 2011 in previous news posts and interviews etc….

  4. Now I know when I can tell my boss I’m taking that day off!

  5. CobaltOrange says:

    Can’t wait for Generations!

    So many games in October and November. But what am I saying, isn’t it always that way?

  6. now we waiting for PC anouncment…

  7. Jix Hedgehog says:

    *Makes up a song about being broke in November*

  8. I hope it’s out by Black Firday or Sidboard Monday.

  9. i hope it comes to the 3DS. i’m planning to get it for christmas

  10. i know it will, but i hope it’s ready for christmas

  11. I’d assume 3DS version is out 30th November, but don’t hold your breath.

    Also, Modern Green Hill Boost sounds really familiar… It really reminds me of Green Hill Zone from Sonic Battle on the GBA.

  12. Now with this out of the way… Boss trailer please!!

  13. Super Metal Shadow says:

    I realy wan’t to get this and WILL at some point but pity the only way I’ll get it in Nov. is if some person randomly gives me like $270

  14. So if UK/EU relase date is 4 November and Amazon should dispatch my Collectors Edition 2 days before it combined with fact that I choosed Courier Express delivery (2-3 days) Its possible I will get it on relase date :D

  15. FoxsDumbSeriesMaker says:

    This is great! Much earlier than I thought it was going to be. Now all we need is a cutscene.

  16. BlazingChaos says:

    Wow, another game to look forward to in November. Generations, Minecraft, Skyward Sword, AC Revelations, Uncharted 3, Halo Anniversary…. ur… MW3????? T_T

    Ok, make that Generations, Skyward Sword, and Minecraft.

  17. Blur of Blue says:

    When are they gonna announce the pc one?

  18. maybe they got negative fan reaction to the all-2D sonic generations 3DS, and delayed it to make it 3D! As if. I can still hope, though.

  20. Anyone know how long the confirmation email takes for the german collector set?

  21. The 3DS version’s release date in Japan is the same as the PS3/360 version’s, which is December 8th, 2011. Though the CERO rating for the 3DS version is still under examination.

    Assuming the non-Japanese versions are released first before the Japanese version, they will be released no later than December 8th, 2011. Also assuming there will be a special content for the 3DS version revealed in the Tokyo Game Show 2011, the non-Japanese versions will be released no sooner than September 18th, 2011.

    The 3DS version was developed by Dimps, the last ’3D’ Sonic stages developed by Dimps were in Sonic Unleashed (released in 2008). The 3DS version most likely started its development life as a DS game like Sonic Rush.

  22. Why November 1? I do believe that is a Tuesday. Why not Friday? It makes more sense >.> (Either way I have college both days, so I won’t be able to play it. CURSE YOU COLLEGE! CURSE YOUUUUU!)

  23. ironicly the release date for the console versions here in America is exactly 1 month after my birthday

  24. You can find boss trailers and modern/dreamcast/mega drive era trailers here: (http://www.sega.com/games/sonic-generations).
