Sonic Adventure DX To Be Ported/Remade?
According to a recent ratings entry at the Australian classifications board the OFLC it looks like we could be getting a new port/remake of the Sonic Adventure Gamecube/PC port Sonic Adventure DX: Director’s Cut. All we know right now is this new entry was rated on the 18th August 2009 as ‘G General’ and will be multi-platform.

We’ll be keeping an eye out for any future info/media on this, so stay tuned.
