With Shadow taking center stage, Sonic X Shadow Generations is a lot more than just a nostalgia-packed remaster of one of the best Sonic games.

Sonic X Shadow Generations ties prominent lore together with one part of Shadow's story going nowhere, but the future may be full of surprises.

Originally released in 2011, Sonic Generations was designed to be a celebration of the series. It split the action between the classic 2D gameplay of the Genesis titles and the shakier 3D stylings of the later releases.

Sonic X Shadow Generations brings together a flawed classic and a long-overdue sequel together for one vital collection.

Sonic X Shadow Generations has a bunch of returning enemies to face off in both of the titles. One of the fortunate ones is Shadow the Hedgehog, who now has his own game attached to Sonic Generations.

Shadow gains new power from his Black Arms DNA in Sonic X Shadow Generations and mastering them is essential to completing his story.

As of Oct. 31, you can get Sonic X Shadow Generations for Nintendo Switch at Woot for $39.99. That's $10 off and a discount of 20%. The game just debuted about a week ago, so you're still getting in on the ground floor here — not too shabby of a deal. This is for the Switch edition only, and you'll be getting a physical copy, not a digital code.

Sonic X Shadow Generations offers a whole new story focused on the antihero Shadow the Hedgehog. Fans have been anxious about this since its announcement back in February at the State of Play, mostly due to Shadow’s story being one that is basked in darkness.
