Earlier this month, Sonic social media manager Katie Chrzanowski confirmed the full original soundtrack would not return for Sonic Origins.
For Sonic Origins, it seems Senoue took that prototype music and recreated it for use in the compilation’s version of Sonic 3, and fans aren’t too happy with the results.
Now, with Origins, it appears to be confirmed that Sega is not reusing the original music in Sonic 3.
However, fans aren’t happy that the game doesn’t contain the original, authentic soundtrack for Sonic the Hedgehog 3.
