Further announcements on Sega’s Road to E3 reveals Sonic Rivals coming to the PSP.

Sonic Rivals is a head-to-head competition between Sonic and his top rivals, where the gloves are off and winner takes all! Built from the ground-up, the engine allows gamers to rip through tracks in some high-spirited single player and wireless multiplayer action against friends as Sonic returns in a whole new racing-platformer with classic 2D gameplay in true 3D environments for gamers on the go.

Sonic Rivals is scheduled for release sometime in Fall 2006 and is being developed by the Vancouver-based studio of Backbone Entertainment.
