It’s time to unlearn decades of muscle memory

Thanks to new footagefrom a Famitsu stream(collated bythe Tails’ Channel Twitter) we now have insight into theSonic OriginsMirror Mode. It’ll take some getting used to!

WithSonic Originsquickly approaching on June 23, it’s about time we got some cold hard gameplay. The stream clocks in at roughly an hour long, providing a new look at multiple facets ofOrigins: especially the “compilation” bits so to speak. One big thing that was shown off is some footage of Mirror Mode forSonic 3 & Knuckles, which looks super nerve-wracking.

We got a deep dive into the game’s museum function, as well as the general UI of the game, which lets you swap between each title, on top of a museum and mission mode.Sonic 2will also have a character select menu.
