Sonic X Shadow Generations: Released Last Month, Now Nearly 50% Off

A new Sonic film is zooming into theaters soon, and what better way to get ready than with a fantastic Black Friday deal on Sonic X Shadow Generations? For those who spent their childhood playing Sonic games in the 2010s, this release is a remastered version of the beloved 2011 Sonic Generations, with an exciting new campaign featuring Shadow the Hedgehog. Originally retailing at $50, this game is now available for just $30 on Switch, PS5, or Xbox Series X.

If you’re keen to revisit the first two Sonic adventures before the new movie hits the big screens, Amazon’s got you covered. You can grab the 2-Film Collection on Blu-ray for a mere $16. Alternatively, you can opt for the 4K versions, which come in limited-edition steelbook cases, priced at just $24.85. To complete your collection, Paramount’s Knuckles miniseries is also available on Blu-ray with its own steelbook case for $28.79.

Let’s dive into what Sonic X Shadow Generations brings to the table. It pairs two games, starting with a remaster of Sonic Generations, which beautifully honors Sonic’s evolution over the years. It mixes the nostalgia of classic 2D levels with the exhilarating speed of 3D stages reminiscent of the Sonic Adventure era on the Dreamcast.

The new addition is an all-new campaign starring Sonic’s edgier counterpart, Shadow. Although it mirrors Sonic’s campaign structure of alternating between 2D and 3D sequences, Shadow’s storyline stands out due to the unique powers you unlock to tackle obstacles. This Black Friday offer on Amazon is a golden opportunity to snap up this game at a bargain price. The $20 markdown is also matched by Best Buy and Target.

As part of Black Friday’s offerings, other Sonic games are seeing impressive discounts, making it the perfect time to expand your collection of speedy escapades. There’s Sonic Frontiers, which unfolds across an expansive open world teeming with massive boss battles and an adrenaline-pumping soundtrack. For a nostalgia trip, consider Sonic Origins Plus and Sonic Superstars. You can also snag both Sonic Mania and Team Sonic Racing as a bundle for the Switch.

In addition to games, some delightful Lego Sonic sets are on sale. Among them is the amazing 1,125-piece Green Hill Zone display model, now priced at $54.40 on Amazon. It holds the title of the largest Lego set featuring Sega’s iconic mascot. For something a bit smaller but equally charming, Target offers the 393-piece Tails’ Workshop and Tornado Plane playset at half price, going for just $20. It comes complete with figures of Sonic, Tails, Buzz Bomber, and Clucky. There’s also Sonic’s Speed Sphere Challenge set, equipped with a functional launcher, available for $20.
