About this game
Sonic the Hedgehog is the first of many games starring Sega's premier hedgehog, Sonic.
It's a side-scrolling platform game with a difference: speed.

Sonic rushes through levels with incredible speed, allowing him to traverse loops and jumps with ease.
The plot of the game is simple.
Robotnik has captured many of Sonic's animal friends and trapped them inside robots.
Fortunately, Sonic can free his friends by destroying the robots with his spin attack.
Robotnik is trying to control the all-powerful chaos emeralds.
Sonic must grab them before he does in the 3D rotating bonus levels.
Sonic's weapon is his spin attack; while jumping, Sonic destroys hostile robots by touch.
Throughout the platforming levels, Sonic collects numerous rings.
If Sonic is hit by an enemy, all the rings he's carrying fall out and scatter around; Sonic can quickly grab the rings back before they disappear.
If Sonic is hit while not carrying any rings, he dies.
Collecting 100 rings gives Sonic an extra life.
There is also an invincibility bonus which temporarily protects Sonic from all attacks.
The game is divided into several "zones", each of them containing three levels.
At the end of each zone, Sonic confronts Dr.
Robotnik in a boss fight.
About Nintendo Wii U
The Wii U (2012) was commercially Nintendo's least successful home console, hampered by market confusion over whether the GamePad tablet controller was a new device or a Wii accessory. Its low sales mean smaller overall print runs across the board, and several first-party and indie darlings have already become noticeably pricier than their commercial performance would suggest, since there are simply fewer copies in circulation.
Gamevaro tracks EDGE for Nintendo Wii U with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding EDGE to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This WIU release dates back to 2011.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for EDGE, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Nintendo Wii U titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
