History
The initial announcement of Sonic Anniversary began with an unofficial announcement at Madrid's Gamefest event, with a "tipster" announcing that the game will be a compilation of "the best levels" to be adapted to modern consoles. Spanish Web sites Sonic Paradise and Sonic Reikai reiterated that they felt that those details were real<ref name="to be modern representation" /> and that the game will release in 2011.<ref name="Sonic Anniversary Confirmed"/>
Reception
Initial reception to the concept has been mixed. Tom Goldman of The Escapist said that Sonic Anniversary could "really pump Sonic up again," but could, if not pulled off, also give Sonic fans "another reason to frown."<ref name="SA remaking retro" /> Christian Spicer of Game Rant noted that with the flood of Sonic games late 2010, including , Sonic Colors, and Sonic Free Riders, and the announcement of pulling titles with "average Metacritic scores," the announcement of another new Sonic the Hedgehog title might seem "a little odd"; however, he claimed to be "a little interested" in the game, mostly because it could be a great "go-to game" for Sonic the Hedgehog.<ref name="Sonic Anniversary Confirmed" />
