Sonic 25th Anniversary - Offical Topic.

It'll probably never happen as it costs too much, but I'd love a cartoon in that artstyle. I really hope this game is a huge hit for Sega as this is the very thing sections of the Sonic fanbase have been screaming out for.

Picking up where Barry said he's not seeing a lot of advertising for outside the fans...

I do sort of agree, but seeing as this is a return to 90s Sonic, I think the trailers, reviews and so on should be enough. Word of mouth is the most important part of any product and seeing as this is such a well known franchise, I hope it gets around through that.

I'd love a TV spot.
I still vividly remember the Sonic n Knuckles commercials.

Sonic 2 had the best one.

OMG seen some new footage of this coming from E3. The game and the game engine look incredible!  Sonic Team really are the best inside SEGA Japan for tech these days

The villains have been revealed! Metal Sonic, "Evil" Shadow, Chaos, Zavok, Robotnik join together with a new villain.

Shadow looks cool.

For Sonic Mania, other than Eggman, there are five bosses...

[Tad]

This is just my guess for how they've designed Mania and Forces...

Sonic Mania:

Seven bosses
Six zones with two acts each, then one final zone with one act and Robotnik as the final boss.
That means Sonic Mania has thirteen acts in total.

Sonic Forces:

Now the villains have been revealed, I'm going to say there's six bosses (Chaos, Shadow, Metal Sonic, Zavok, Robotnik, Inifinite) each with their own zone with three acts - one act for each Modern Sonic, Classic Sonic and custom. That's eighteen acts in total with a big fight featuring all three in the games final boss.

Game looks fab and imo better than the new Mario (which looks slow and boring)

Might be wrong, but from what I've seen of the new Mario isn't good. Seems like they had an idea and focused purely on that while forgetting everything else. Might be another Sunshine or worse.

My only real concern with Sonic Forces is the jumping around from one character to another. I can't help but think it might have been better to drop classic Sonic from the 3D games as Mania has that crowed now.

[crackdude]

Mario won't be good, but it will get universal praise anyway.
Sonic will actually be more fun, but it will have a lukewarm reception.
