SEGA has confirmed that Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II will be super-spinning onto the Xbox Live Arcade next month, with a wee dose of additional content for anyone who's already got Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I.

It's called Episode Metal Lock-On and features Metal Sonic in an unlockable chapter in which you get to play as the mechanical hedgehog. Episode Metal Lock-On is exclusive to owners of both Sonic 4 episodes and includes four acts that bridge the gap between Sonic CD and Sonic 4, exploring the origins of Sonic's other nemesis.

Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II will be coming to the Xbox Live Arcade on May 16th for 1200 Microsoft Points.

  • Oh man, its got Lock-On Technology! tm
  • Free bonus DLC for owners of the first sounds great! A treat for fans. This one looks like it could be quite fun.
  • Good plan but don't screw it up like you did with sonic 3 and knuckles since some of us may want to choose any level after collecting all the super chaos emeralds!
  • 1200 points still seems steep... I may have to hold off on this one for a while... Hell, I was able to get episode 4 part 1 for only 400 points... And now I play the waiting game
  • So not only will I get the game for my Windows Phone for free, but I'll also get a bonus character with four acts? I am a pleased customer.
  • That gamertag is quality.
  • i have to start playing these sonic games i dowmloaded for XBLA...bought them all when they were on sale but havent gotten around to playing them...
  • @6 I'm pretty sure you still have to buy it for your Windows Phone. So 1200MSP & £5.49 for presumably one set of achievements.
  • Sounds awesome. Great way to get more sales out of ep 1.. hope ep 3 happens......
  • cant wait. good thing i got episode 1.
  • Looking forward to seeing how this one plays out. Ep1 wasn't my favorite Sonic game but it wasn't as awful as some people made it out to be.
  • $15? Yikes. Will get it sometime this year (probably not on Day one, though.)
  • I thought sonic died in 1994
  • Definintely waiting on Deal of the Week for this (as I did with Ep I). I think $15 is steep for ANY downloadable game, especially an old-school 2D platformer.
  • 1200 is definitely too steep. No wonder they aren't making more of these.
  • @7 Thank you!
  • Sonic Generations restored my faith in SEGA's abilities to still make a great Sonic game. Hopefully this one doesn't disappoint.
  • Nice that sonic has made a comeback. Hope they keep the sonic name strong.
  • @14 Nope, that's Kurt Cobain you're thinking of.
  • Sonic will probably never die. And the series will expand so much that we will see a sonic from a over the shoulder view. Heck, maybe even first person as well
  • Wow this is ridiculously awesome.
  • why dont you come here and make me you motherfucker?
  • I'm definetly getting this. Hopefully it'll handle more like the 2D Sonic sections from Sonic Generations more than the Sonic 4 Episode I Engline, as it felt a lot better to play in Sonic Generations. I loved Episode I, but it felt a bit sluggish at times to play. @24 are you talking to the guy who spammed again regearding the fullmalls site? or do you have some unresolved issues?
  • Will this be the same Date as the WP7 version? After all they are meant to be crossing over!
  • OMIGOD! I'm Fan-Gasming!! AAAAAHHHHH!!!! *McGrin* ;p
  • According to some sites its priced at 800pts. They also published a new video why are you guys posting this old one for ?
  • I'll be getting this for sure.
