Sonic's 20th anniversary celebration begins Thursday photo

Following this morning's news concerning Sonic Generations, SEGA has revealed that it will kick off Sonic's 20th anniversary celebration this Thursday, April 7. Could there be a new game announcement? We don't know, that's what's so exciting about it, probably. 

Something "big" is supposedly coming to Sonic the Hedgehog's Facebook page, so keep an eye on that to find out what's going down. 

Ooh, it's so thrilling!

[Thanks, TimmiT]

Announcement for Sonic Adventure 2 on PSN/XBLA?

Followed by an announcement for the $5 DLC pack that adds most of the Battle content to Sonic Adventure 2?

I'm guessing we'll finally get to see new info on all the new Sonic games. I'm hoping we at least get a trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II. It's been months since Episode I hit, I'm ready for the next round.

Guys, it's going to be a remake of the best levels from Sonic 1 to Adventure 2. Hopefully in an upgraded Colors format. That's been the running rumor for months now, and the name Generations pretty much confirms this.

Something "big"? Oh God, NO! Big the Cat stars in his own game, CONFIRMED!

In all fairness, I think the 3D Sonic games are slowly getting better. Sonic the Hedgehog < Sonic Unleashed < Sonic Colors. I thought Sonic Colors was somewhere between average and decent. Baby steps.

I can't believe you guys don't know about this, its one of the worst kept secrets in the industry

On Sonic's 20th SEGA's going to announce a game that runs on Sonic Unleashed/Colors engine for all three platforms, and it will include remakes of classic Sonic levels from Sonic the Hedgehog up to Sonic Adventure 2. It will also feature Tails and Knuckles, since Sonic Colors was basically an engine test for this 20th anniversary game and some of the powers in that game were similar to Tails and Knuckles

It should turn out to be very good since its been in development for a while and SEGA's finally realized that sales on all their products are directly proportional to quality of Sonic the Hedgehog games. They hired a marketing firm who gladly pointed that out to them around the time Sonic Colors was first started

Yes Jim it IS thrilling. I can't wait to see what Sega has in store for us and if it's like Sonic Colors it'll be awesome. Plus if this new sonic game is for the 3DS that will be just freakin awesome especially since I have a 3DS, lol. Yeah, I'm a fan of Sonic and I don't want him to fail which is something you and other retards look forward too for some odd reason. Anyway, I'm pumped

@Todd Cobi Griffith

Jim gave two of the three Sonic games released last year at least an 8 out of 10. I don't think he wants Sonic to fail at all.

Oh that's nice tell us when it's sonic's birthday but not Resident Evil's.

I am saddened by this destructoid.

Really? Resident Evil isn't a cute cuddly character with millions of fans around the world. It doesn't even have the same characters in each iteration. Whose birthday would it be? Chris Redfields?

@ Epic-KxDtoid, Yup, the article even said it'd be announced on Sonic's 20th, just so many commenters were acting surprised I figured some of them may not have seen it
