It’s a good time to be a Sonic fan. Not only is Sonic the Hedgehog 2 the most successful video game film adaptation of all time, old-school fans have Sonic Origins to look forward to in June, a compilation celebrating his all-time 16-bit classics (most importantly, Sonic 3 & Knuckles), while there’s cautious optimism over the upcoming ‘open-zone’ Sonic Frontiers later this year (if it doesn’t get delayed like everything else). You’d be forgiven for forgetting that the hedgehog had a pretty rough patch not long ago.
