SEGA are continuing their run of re-releases on Switch later this month with the arrival of both Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and Puyo Puyo 2 on 20 February.

The classic Sonic title includes a number of new additions and updates, including Knuckles being playable, the addition of the ‘drop-dash’ introduced in Sonic Mania, and timetrials complete with online leaderboards.

As for Puyo Puyo 2, the game is getting an English translation for the first time. Based on the arcade version of the game, it also features two-player online battles and leaderboards, a quick rewind function and a colorblind mode.

The games will cost $7.99 each in the US. There’s no UK pricing confirmed just yet, but if previous titles are anything to go by, that should translate to around £5.99 here in Blighty. You can check out some screens from the games in the galleries below.
