SEGA has started to remaster and bring back a number of different games in the Sonic the Hedgehog series over the past few years, but the same can’t be said of the Sonic Advance titles. However, it sounds like the company has at least some interest in doing so.
For those that are unaware, Sonic Advance saw three different entries on the Game Boy Advance. Each one was largely handled by Dimps. The thing is, they’ve never return after originally launched on the GBA.

The Chao Garden is something that’s beloved among SEGA fans in the Sonic the Hedgehog title, but that feature won’t be getting its own standalone game in the near future.
Takashi Iizuka, the boss of Sonic Team, ruled out the possibility in a recent interview. He said that Chao Garden is something that it’s a piece of Sonic Adventure, and doesn’t seem to believe it’d make sense to “just break it off and make it a thing.” Fan interest in Sonic Adventure 3 was also again acknowledged.
