And on June 23, Sonic Origins Plus will launch as a physical release, and as separate DLC for digital copies. Still, it's now in a state where it’s easy to recommend to newcomers. Some of Sonic 3’s original soundtrack, however, had to be replaced due to licensing issues, meaning Origins Plus sadly isn’t 100% faithful to the original trilogy despite its best efforts. Sonic Origins Plus has improved since launch, too, with the game recently being updated to support nearest-neighbor pixel rendering for emulation that's more accurate to the original releases. It’s worth noting that Sonic Origins Plus isn’t quite a perfect collection, however. Maybe not quite as charming or feature-rich as Sonic Mega Collection for the Gamecube, but Origins Plus at least won't cost a fortune to buy. It’s a collection of excellent value, especially if you’re looking for the easiest way to play these classics on modern consoles, with unlockable extras and a fun mission mode to boot. Sonic Origins Plus is a compilation of the hedgehog’s earliest games, packing Sonic 1, 2, 3 & Knuckles and CD all under one roof.
