Sonic CD, Sonic 4, Generations DLC and more hit Steam today

by Richard Mitchell on Jan 19th 2012 7:00PM

A whole mess of Sonic the Hedgehog content has rolled onto Steam today. First up, Sonic CD, which has already debuted on PSN, Xbox Live and mobile platforms, has now made its way to Valve's ubiquitous service. Joining it is Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1 and the Sonic Generations "Casino Nights" DLC that was previously scheduled to arrive on December 26.

Though it's not a Sonic game, Sega's free-to-play Spiral Knights is getting some Sonic-themed content as well. Players can pick up a Metal Sonic costume or a Tails accessory (i.e. a pair of fox tails). Spiral Knights is free, but these items are not. The Metal Sonic costume comes free with Steam copies of Sonic CD, while the Tails accessory will require an in-game energy purchase. Both items are available until February 1.

Head over to Sega's blog to check out images of the new goodies.

I first played Sonic CD on their PC release way back in the Windows 95 days! That was a fun time. :)

is sonic cd acclaimed as the best sonic game? I played it but i still think sonic and knuckles was the best sonic game.

@(Unverified) You're correct. Visually/aurally Sonic CD is easily the best of the Genesis-era games, but the level design doesn't really hold up. There isn't as much opportunity for speed as in the other games, so the platforming doesn't feel very rewarding. The Past/Future thing is cool in theory but because of the level design it's really hard to make it work

@(Unverified)

As a person who played Sonic1, 2, 3 & Knuckles religiously, it's the worst one. It feels like a hacked rom of Sonic 1. Some of the levels take 40 seconds to beat, all the presentation is just pure random garbage. It's a train-wreck of a game.

Steam knows what they're doing. Hopefully the rumors about Wii U's online is true and it models Steam.

@Co

Really? REALLY? You found a way to rope Nintendo into a Stream/PC article? Obsessed much?

If it wasn't for the Spiral Knights items I wouldn't even be buying Sonic CD.

Curse you for getting me addicted to Spiral Knights, Steam Sale!

If anything the post-holiday stretch seems to be interesting because now all those coupons come into play. Right now a 50% off Sega coupon can get you Sonic Generations for about $7.50 if I remember right.

Interesting to find out that the coupons can stack onto sale items as long as it didn't release this year.

@Mr Esc is the namesarcasm is my

I hope it wasn't made by Cave Johnson...

Re: Installing Sonic Gen:

"No Steam Servers are currently configured to deliver content for this game. This will be corrected soon. Please try again in a few minutes."

What the hell, Steam? I thought you were supposed to be on top of this shit.

This crap brings back the nightmares, I had both Sega CD, and 32X. Both were junk imo.

The only good memory I have with Sega CD was Road Rash.... But I had to suffer for many years with games like Sherlock Holmes, and Ground Zero Texas, before anything worth a damn came out. As for the 32X, oh wow! It has a tad more color than the Genesis, but only a handful of games 'good' games.
