4The ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' franchise is, sadly, the poster child for the BrokenBase ever since the titular character grew up, got SuddenlyVoiced, etc. So, what better MilestoneCelebration than getting both incarnations of the blue blur speeding their way through memory lane? SugarWiki/AndTheFandomRejoiced... and reunited, for once!

6* Another Sonic game [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewbKq3Zh08o is coming.]] And just in time for his 20th Anniversary to boot. Starts out with Sonic running through the frozen remains of the Green Hill Zone, which is pretty cool until '''[[http://i.imgur.com/mcReQ.png this guy appears out of nowhere.]]''' Fans rejoiced even more when this was announced: During the release of screenshots for ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog4'', the old-school fans kept on clamoring for Sonic's classic design, to which in response the [[WordOfGod Takashi Iizuka]] stated that [[PutOnABusToHell they wouldn't be bringing him back]]. So you can imagine their reaction when the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3HzD9vgREo teaser trailer]] hit, and a certain [[http://i.imgur.com/mcReQ.png you-know-who]] appeared next to modern Sonic after he leapt off a cliff....
7** There was also [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure2 CITY ESCAPE]], and ''both'' Sonics get to play through the stage, ''board-riding and all''. '''[[AdvancingBossOfDoom The truck is back.]]''' As Modern Sonic, it has ''friggin' {{chainsaw|Good}}s'' and chases you for '''far''' longer than it did in ''Adventure 2'', destroying buildings and ''chasing you sideways across walls''! Even Omochao makes a brief cameo! And to put the cherry on top, Sega contacted [[Music/TNTBand Tony Harnell]], the original singer of "Escape from the City", to do a rearrangement of the song for ''Generations''. Take my rings, Sega.
8** The fact that classic Sonic [[HeroicMime would stay mute]] like how he was in the original games helped too.
9* [[http://youtu.be/tV1Osnkr5Nc?hd=1 And then the gameplay trailer was released.]]
10* [[VideoGame/SonicColors Warren Graff]] [[VideoGame/MadWorld and]] [[WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends Ken Pontac]] are returning to write the story!
11* For Creator/{{Nintendo}} fans: [[http://www.gamestooge.com/2011/05/08/rayman-time-crisis-sonic-to-3ds-in-2011/ it will be coming]] to the Platform/Nintendo3DS.
12* The return of [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure2 City Escape]] and [[VideoGame/SonicUnleashed Rooftop Run]].
13* Mighty, Fang, and Ray returning!... [[FaceOnAMilkCarton sort of]].
14* [[http://www.thesixthaxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Metal-Sonic-e1310571181643.jpg Classic Metal Sonic has been confirmed]] as a boss, but his racetrack is [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehogCD Stardust Speedway!]]
15* [[http://www.randomprodinc.com/sonic-generations-tails/ Tails and his classic self are now confirmed!]]
16* Modern Sonic can be in the water without drowning right away! ... [[VideoGame/SonicColors wait]] [[NightmareFuel a]] [[SubvertedTrope second]]...
17* [[VideoGame/SonicHeroes Seaside Hill]] calls back to [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2 Aquatic Ruin]], [[VideoGame/Sonic3AndKnuckles Hydrocity]], [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure Emerald Coast]], and [[VideoGame/SonicUnleashed Adabat]]! [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkf9BhFuSPk It isn't "Green Hill 2.0"!]]
18* Shadow has been confirmed as a boss, [[http://www.sonicstadium.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Xbox.com-Sonic-Generations-Xbox-360-Screenshots-1.jpg but you fight him on the Space Colony ARK runway]] just like in ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure2''!
19* The return of [[VideoGame/SonicColors Planet Wisp]] and [[VideoGame/Sonic3AndKnuckles Sky Sanctuary]], now with more SceneryPorn than ever!
20* And now, [[http://segahd.com/2011/10/sonic-generations-now-available-to-preorder-on-steam/ the game will be available on Steam.]] Gamers without access to the HD consoles rejoiced.
21* [[spoiler:The reveal that both Past and Present Dr. Eggman's are in control of the Time Eater brought much rejoicing among the fans.]]
22** [[spoiler:Even more rejoicing ensued when a leaked cutscene showed Classic Tails actually referring to past!Eggman as "Robotnik".]]
23** [[spoiler:Then the Doctor informed Classic Tails that nobody calls him that anymore, the script seems to be written to give joy to people (Classic or/and Modern fans.) who appreciate the games and troll "fans", for example, that don't know/acknowledge the reasons behind the use of both names... But thank god they made an effort to explain that indeed Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik it's just one guy.]]
24* ''[[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic The music.]]''
25* The fact that they made [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006 Crisis City]]--part of one of the worst games in the series' history--into a total blast with zero glitches, got this reaction, and is highly considered a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome. Not to mention the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fhgJrMWSxw awesome]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fDcvxzgCBE remixes]] of an already amazing piece of music.
26* Oh, so the game's getting a rerelease for ninth generation consoles, PC, and Platform/NintendoSwitch? Eh, it looks about the same, but at least the game's console version will be on a Nintendo system for once (though at the expense of the 3DS version), and...wait. Shadow gets his own side game, with recreations of stages that haven't been remade in high definition before? [[VideoGame/ShadowTheHedgehog Black Doom]] is back as a major villain for the whole story!? And Biolizard's being brought over from the 3DS version with a new fight, letting Shadow actually refight it!?? Wow- Autumn 2024 and ''Sonic X Shadow Generations'' can't come fast enough!
