A couple weeks ago we posted articles about the fall of Sonic the Hedgehog and Sega in general. Needless to say there is still a decent amount of debate happening over in your comments ought to section for your article and that we haven’t even posted part 2 yet. So when i was tipped off in regards to a petition for any remastered form of Sonic 3 to be sold onto Android, it had been something we obviously had to check out.

Sure enough a web-based petition has been began with the about bringing Sonic 3 to Android (and iOS) in a new remastered version. Two developers (Christian Whitehead and Simon Thomley) have already designed a remastered prototype of Sonic 3 so the petition is actually a plea to Sega to release it. This isn’t the first time Whitehead and Thomley have remastered a Sonic game either. The duo have been accountable for a trio of remastered Sonic games in the past – Sonic CD, Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic the Hedgehog 2.

Essentially this could complete the remastered series for that duo. There is even the official website for the remastered form of Sonic 3 already live. This remastered version of Sonic 3 will come with new HD visuals and new content put into it as well as new game modes to play through for example Boss Attack, Time Attack and online competition.

Other Sonic 3 remastered features include:

Widescreen display
Enhanced graphics and animations
New levels
New story cut-scenes
New bonus modes

Hopefully the current issues Sega continues to be facing such as the releasing of 300 employees might make this a big of a harder sell to Sega. However, if Sega knew what was a good idea to allow them to do, releasing a remastered Sonic 3 onto Android could be one of those good ideas.

As of right now the petition has 2000 signatures. The greater signatures the petition gets, the better chance Whitehead and Thomley have of having Sega to get their remastered Sonic 3 game and releasing it onto Android (and iOS). You can actually begin to see the remastered game in action within the video above. The screenshots avoid the remastered version any justice as you can tell in the video, the particular game looks quite good, for a prototype.

Thanks to everyone who sent this in!
