If you’re looking for some old-school Sonic action, it’s hard to beat Sonic Origins Plus. The recently released collection pulls together 16 classic Sonic games and gives a handful of them HD makeovers. It’s already budget-friendly at its $40 retail price, but right now you can score Sonic Origins Plus for just $30 on Switch, PS4, PS5, and Xbox Series X.

Sonic Origins Plus gives four games an HD remaster–Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Sonic 3 & Knuckles, and Sonic CD. Not only do each of the four titles have new opening and ending animations, but you can also play in Anniversary Mode (which gives you unlimited lives in widescreen HD), enjoy previously released add-on content like Extreme Missions and Mirror Mode, and you can also play as Amy Rose, along with Sonic, Tails, or Knuckles.
The collection even includes 12 classic Game Gear titles like Sonic Drift 2, Sonic Spinball, Tails Adventure, and Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine. All told, that’s 16 Sonic games for $30, which should be more than enough to keep you busy until Sonic Superstars arrives later this year. Here’s the full list of games:
Sonic the Hedgehog (16-bit)
Sonic the Hedgehog CDS
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (16-bit)
Sonic 3 & Knuckles
Sonic the Hedgehog (8-bit)
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (8-bit)
