Sega has officially announced today the long awaited digital re-release of Sonic CD, the classic platformer that marks the first appearance of Metal Sonic and Amy Rose in the series.

The enhanced version of the game will feature music from the original Japanese soundtrack, and is coming to Xbox Live Arcade, the PlayStation Network, Windows PC, iPhone, iPodtouch, iPad, Android and Windows Phone in late 2011.

“Ask any Sonic fan to name their favorite games, and Sonic CD always ranks near the top of their lists,” said Haruki Satomi, Vice President of Digital Business at SEGA of America. “Sonic CD marks an important chapter in Sonic’s history, bridging the gap between his oldest adventures and his new digital exploits like Sonic The Hedgehog 4 Episode I. We’ve made sure the re-mastered edition has everything that Sonic fans want to see with all of the original colorful classic zones.”

The game will debut at PAX Prime this weekend, where attendees can try out the game at Microsoft's booth.
