A new, very TV broadcast-like (Is that a word?) trailer of Sonic CD has now been put up by Sega. The trailer emphasizes it’s Genesis Sega CD roots, while also keeping up the “prequel to Sonic 4” thing.
Sonic CD is due out later this year for LIVE, PSN and iOS platforms.

Whoops. =P
“Where could we throw Sonic 4 in the Sonic timeline? It’s just Sonic, but we’re eventually going to include Tails. It could only possibly fit between Sonic CD and Sonic 2. Let’s go with that. We’ll turn it into a marketing ploy. Profit!!!”
…That’s not the trailer I put up earlier! What happened to the panning camera over a Sega Genesis and Sega CD?
If I had to guess why they clipped it out, it would be because this is the SEGAEurope channel, combined with the fact that “Genesis” and “SEGA CD” were written on the systems; thus, the European viewers were probably like “WAAAHHH IT SHOULD SAY MEGA DRIVE AND MEGA CD INSTEAD” in the comments section.
The full version still remains over at SegaAmerica, however:

“See where the Sonic 4 saga began”????
Am I the only one who doesn’t get that?
Does this have a release date? Looking forward to this one!
I’m going to assume late November/early December. Doubt they’d release it the same week as Generations, but they’d still want to feed off of the Generations hype.
The Sonic 4 mention is sort of silly, why not connect CD with Generations via the Metal boss fight rather than Episode 2? I guess this is SEGA’s way of keeping Sonic 4 alive, until they get around to releasing the next one.
Retro engine ftw!
