In a new interview with Sonic Stadium, Sonic Team leader Takashi Iizuka explained that the upcoming Sonic x Shadow Generations exciting new campaign mode Shadow Generations will feature one 3D and one 2D action per stage, similar to the original Sonic Generations. Sonic x Shadow Generations releases on multiple formats including Nintendo Switch on October 25th.
So, I noticed that Act 1 can be played outside. This probably means that there are multiple works; Is there a gameplay difference between the different actions in the level?
Iizuka (via translator): ‘Shadow Generations’ is a different game than ‘Sonic Generations’, as they both exist in a single-package game, but since they’re both Generations games, we wanted to have a similar format. So just like Sonic Generations has a 3D level you can play with high speed action, there is side scrolling gameplay for Sonic Generations… and for Shadow, [we] he wanted to make sure [it] had 3D gameplay as well as 2D gameplay.
