SEGA has put up some new screenshots for Sonic Generations’ City Escape level. There are also some 3DS screens of the game that we’ve seen scans for before. But these are direct shots and look much better than the scans.
Also super HD box art that we showed you before. Isn’t that exciting? Hit the jump to view.
Lol, as I pointed out on Twitter (@NiGHTSfan) I think the pic with the billboard contains a list of the characters returning in Generations. Chip, Emerl, Tikal, Silver…kinda makes sense. Also as the SEGABits twitter pointed out…there is a chopped up Sonic arm in the top-left corner….
Yep:

That screen has a chopped hand on the top, cast listing for the movie has a ton of names.
3D compatibility for the HD versions… could that be one reason they decided to make a version for 3DS?
Eh. I doubt it. Probably because they wanted Nintendo support and 3DS is the newest Nintendo platform, and it doesn't really require too much of a retooling. They'd have to dumb down the graphics on Wii, and with 3DS they can just make another Sonic Rush game…which is what they seem to be doing.
Handheld Sonic games have pretty much always been different than console ones. "Modern Sonic" for the 3DS version is basically Sonic Rush-style. Which is interesting. Makes sense, though it's a little too bad because the 3DS could definitely handle a 3D Sonic game. But oh well. Consoles are obviously where it's at for this one.
There are also Wanted posters on Nack, Bean and Bark and a Missing poster of Ray and Mighty.
