NCircle recently released the Sonic Prime: The Complete Series (Steelbook) Blu-ray. Read on to find out more about it...

[ SYNOPSIS ]

When Sonic ignores the advice of his closest friends during a battle against Dr. Eggman, he accidentally triggers an explosion which creates a multiverse of bizarre parallel worlds. Set upon by enemies new and old, Sonic navigates these strange new worlds and meets unique versions of friends who do not recognize him, yet are key to fixing what Sonic broke. Sonic must reconnect with his friends, see them for all their complexities and learn what it truly means to be a leader -- before the multiverse scatters into oblivion!

[ ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ]

No digital copy code voucher is included. All three discs are in one Steelbook case, with Disc 1 one on the left, and Discs 2 & 3 overlapping each other on the right. Once you pull off the clear plastic slipcover (has the title on the front and the specs on the back), you get to see the beautiful Steelbook case underneath.


The front features Sonic and the crew of heroes appearing in the glow of the Chaos Emeralds, while the back shows the bad guys ready for action. Inside, spread across the left and the right is an exciting action scene.

[ NOTES ]

Sonic Prime: The Complete Series is available on Blu-ray in Steelbook packaging only. As far as I'm aware, there are currently no plans to release the set in standard packaging. Without a doubt, this is the best looking Sonic the Hedgehog series created over the past 32 years. Every scene looks like a modern video game cutscene come to life. The storyline is pure fan service and the voice acting is top notch. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
