[Original Story] Sonic Origins, the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog collection including five classic games, is going to feature two different play modes, among other additional content.

A listing for the game has gone up early on the Australian PlayStation Network, as reported on the Sonic Stadium forums, revealing that all of the games included in the collection will be playable in Classic or Anniversary Mode. The first will allow players to experience the games with their original resolution and mechanics, while the second will let them experience the classic Sonic games with a 16:9 aspect ratio and with infinite lives.

According to the new Sonic Origins listing, the collection will also feature missions that allow players to collect coins that can be used to unlock new content and challenges.
