Game Overview

Sonic is back. Of all possible scenarios, he and his buds are now the main characters in a new Japan-only arcade fighting game. Tentatively titled Sonic Fighting Game, AM2 is combining the polygon-shaped figures they are best known for (VF) with Sega's mascot and friends.

While the game is only about 25 percent finished, we have seen Sonic, Tails Fang and Knuckles. The Spin moves are smooth and Sonic is actually fighting! Rumors abound that Knuckles will be able to fly and dig, but these haven't been confirmed yet.

In an exclusive interview, Sega confirmed that a Saturn version of this fighter will be out in Japan late in 1996!
