With today (October 18) marking the 20th anniversary of Sega's Sonic 3 & Knuckles on the Mega Drive/Genesis, fans of the seminal platform series have been treated to a special proof of concept prototype video, showcasing the game in remastered form.
First 4 Figures has released video and images of the next statue in its growing Sonic the Hedgehog range. This nicely-dynamic diorama features the blue blur getting a lift into Sonic 3's Angel Island Zone, courtesy of his dopey pal was Tails.
DSOGaming writes: "YouTube’s ‘Eukaryot’ has released a new fan remaster of the classic Sonic 3 game, called Sonic 3 A.I.R. Sonic 3 A.I.R. is built on top of the Sonic 3 & Knuckles Steam version, meaning that you’ll need this Steam version in order to play this fan remaster."
It’s a shame Sega itself won’t allow Christian Whitehead to remaster Sonic 3&K
You know that the 90's had the best music, and Sonic brought you the best of the best.
I loved these on the Mega Drive! That's Genesis for everyone else.
I loved this game as a child. So many hours poured into it. This and Sonic 2 and Super Mario Bros 3 are my top 3 favorite games of all time.
The best platforming game to this day, Sonic 3 is legendary.
I loved standalone sonic & knuckles the most
