Sonic CD to be reborn on Xbox Live

We’ve been dreaming of old games since we heard those rumours of a Road Rash revival, so it’s exciting to hear that Sonic CD is headed to Xbox Live Arcade. The classic but often forgotten Sonic title popped up on a list of games set to go on show at the Penny Arcade Expo next week. Sure we liked Sonic 4 but sometimes we just want to see the hedgehog in his 16-bit prime.

Major Nelson, Xbox promoter-in-chief, revealed the list. It includes plenty of things you’d expect like Gears of War 3 and Forza 4 but near the end lurks the uannounced Sonic CD Xbox Live Arcade port.

Sega and Capcom are turning sales of several of their iPhone games to support the Japanese Red Cross in its relief efforts following the tsunami and during the ongoing nuclear effort in Japan. The games included in the sale from which Sega will donate 100% of its profits include every Sonic The Hedgehog title (so Sonic The Hedgehog Episode 4 and my favourite Sonic The Hedgehog 2 are in there). Meanwhile Capcom is donating profits from Streetfighter IV. Sega says it will donate all revenues from those games until March 22. Good on you guys!
