Some dedicated gaming news sniffers discovered the possible existence of a Sonic Colors remaster earlier this week. First, a German dubbing studio listed a “Sonic Colors Remastered” in their work portfolio. Next, a French retailer, “SoGamely,” listed “Sonic Colors Ultimate – Limited Edition” for PS4, Xbox One and Switch on their site. SEGA has yet to comment on this one way or another, so it’s possible that this is a mistake of some kind. However, with E3 only a few months away, it may very well be that SEGA is indeed planning to release a remaster.

Sonic Colors is one of the few 3D Sonic games considered genuinely “good” by most fans out there. I unfortunately can’t personally confirm that since I missed it when it originally released for the Wii. I’d already been burned by Sonic and the Seven Secret Rings, so I wasn’t exactly ready to take Sonic seriously again. Yet, over the years I’ve heard mostly good things about it. It’s level in Sonic Generations, “Planet Wisp,” was a blast despite being a bit long, so I wouldn’t be surprised if the rest of the game was pretty fun too.

I have to wonder how many other people missed it initially. It must have sold well-enough that the remaster is justified, but I didn’t know anyone who actually owned it during the Wii era. Did it actually sell well, or is Sega hoping to capitalize on the semi-cult status it’s accrued over the past 10 years? As for me, I think I’ll check it out if the price is right.
