As surprising as Sonic Generations' remaster is, a Sonic Team's leader tells Game Rant that the game serves a purpose as Sonic X Shadow Generations.
WTMG's Aaron Price: "Of course, the music and voice acting is all great, it pretty much always is in Sonic games, and its quality is definitely not lost in the transition to the Nintendo Switch 2. Honestly, this might be the first time since playing the original Sonic games on my 3DS that playing Sonic handheld has felt so this good, this absolutely polished. Fast-paced levels mixed with being able to play in bursts in handheld mode. This might be a decade-old title, but it’s almost like this game had been originally crafted with the Switch 2 in mind, almost in a savant-like manner>"
Placing above the Switch version but below the PS5, Sonic X Shadow Generations' Switch 2 port is serviceable, but only diehard fans need reapply.
Sonic X Shadow Generations runs at 60 fps on Performance Mode, putting it on parity with the PS5 version and outperforming PS4 and XBO.
I should hope that the newest console can outperform 12 year old consoles. The bar appears to be set low with Switch 2 reviewers
