Sega during the Sonic Central livestream has announced a new retro Sonic the Hedgehog collection called Sonic Origins. It will launch sometime in 2022 for "“the latest platforms."
The Sonic Origins collection will include the original Sonic the Hedgehog games for the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive. The games included are Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic 2, Sonic 3 & Knuckles, and Sonic CD.
Sonic 3 & Knuckles being included is a bit noteworthy as Sonic 3 was not included as part of the Sega Genesis Mini library.

Wish it had the Master System titles. Sonic 1 (MS) is such a great game.
The Master System and GameGear Sonic platformers, along with teh Tails spinoffs, were a weird and largely overlooked part of the series, but they have quite a loyal fanbase (except for Sonic Blast).
If you're interested in these games and don't want to hunt down niche Sega hardware, many of these games can be found in PS2/GameCube era compilations or on the 3DS Virtual Console.
Hm... is it in 16:9 or is the video just zoomed?
Which means that they're likely finally porting over the acclaimed mobile versions.
While this titles are fine, I'd like to see compilations of Sonic games beyond the Mega Drive era. How many times has Sega repackaged Sonic 1,2,3 & CD? There are other great 2D Sonic games: the Advance series, Colours, Rush... It's sad they are always ignored like that.
I'm looking foward to play with Hyper Sonic, Hyper Knuckle and Super Tail in Sonic 3 & Sonic Knuckle.
Didn’t Sonic mania already have all the old games
Sonic Mania is not a collection.
By "latest platforms" I hope they also mean Steam/GoG, and not one of the "latest" shitty barebones stores like EGS exclusively.
I love the downvotes from folks who clearly don't give two shits about everyone getting what they want, but they care enough to downvote lol.
I know, I'm just pointing out that haters gonna hate.
I want the games to the sold on all stores, but those downvoting me are highly likely to be folks who love exclusivity bs, and thus can go jog on.
I don't suck company D like some folks do, thus I have good intentions from the get-go, because I want everyone to be able to buy the game on the storefront they wanna buy from. Not my fault some folks here are so far up their own arse, that they'd rather we do as we're told by scummy pubs.
