I has already played it. It's fine for a beta/soft launch (v0.1.0), you can play it without connection.
If you want a more polished app,wait until it get a WW release. Now is in Beta. I repeat, BETA.
All things considered, this year we get a Sonic game for every kind of fan at least.

Yeah, my son loves Sonic Dash, so I guess he'd love this too.
He hates Sonic Runners since it has limited lives and online play only.
So like you said, a Sonic game for every kind of fan.
-
The problem with Runners was only the bad start-up and not implementing the pay once, free ads system and the FB thing working for have gifted lives from friends.
Although the game is planned for all types of audience, this game is for late teenagers and 25-30 years old people, I mean, long time fans...but they will not buy any IAPs. So, that's why the game got so much ads, it's the only way to make money until they implemented the Pay Once system when the game is more crowded.
Obviously, the Boom Dash is for children.
But they are all free, so if you don't like it, uninstall the app, it's easy.

SEGA Technical Institute artist Craig Stitt has been posting quite a bit of lost video game concept art and now prototype footage of a game he pitched SEGA at first called Segapede and later renamed Astropede. Its a very interesting project since it seems Craig wanted this to be a part of the Sonic universe.

Interview with Sega Hardlight studio director Neall Jones (ChuChu Rocket Universe and Sonic Racing for Apple Arcade)
(https://thumbs.gfycat.com/IncredibleBitesizedBudgie-size_restricted.gif)
Apple Arcade gave us an opportunity to release two titles on a new service at launch, which is something we'd never done before.
We're really happy with the success of both games (ChuChu Rocket Universe and Sonic Racing for Apple Arcade).
It won't be a surprise for you to learn that Sonic has outperformed ChuChu Rocket - the movie definitely helped with our marketing!

SEGA Talk Podcast #54: Sonic Advance (2001)
(http://segabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Sonicadvance2-600x360.jpg)
Its funny how everyone will tell you that Sonic has sucked since it left the Dreamcast, but always ignore handheld gems like the Sonic Advance series.
Most retro fans will get angry and talk about how this is nothing like the Sonic Genesis, titles and to them I’ll say that its not suppose to be.
Its the Sonic Advance series. Being different isn’t bad.

Sonic Lost World (Wii U)
Beautiful graphics at a solid 60fps
(http://segabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/SLW_0430_2desert3_09-600x337.jpg)
The game is beautiful to look at. Textures have subtle patterns and occasional glossy finishes, enemies have glitter paint jobs with a metallic sheen.
What results is a world that is easy to take in as you run through the stages, but retains a level of detail that one can enjoy at slow speeds.
Items and enemies are easy to spot, and Sonic himself rarely gets lost in the world (pun intended).

SEGA Game Gear Micro Hardware Review – Bite-Sized Nostalgia
(http://segabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/GGM-5.jpg)
The original BLACK is the most plain yet iconic of the four and the included games reflect that classic feel.
Included are Sonic The Hedgehog, Puyo Puyo 2, OutRun and Royal Stone.
The game selection covers a variety of genres and represent some of the handheld’s best titles.
These games are also the most english-friendly, with only the RPG Royal Stone presenting a language barrier.
If one was only interested in importing one Game Gear Micro, I would say black is the way to go. Solid game selection and an iconic color.

Sonic the Hedgehog twitter teasing something with the number “3”
(http://segabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Screen-Shot-2013-06-28-at-9.15.16-AM-600x382.png)
Of course, this could mean anything.
It could be teasing an announcement on November 3rd, or counting down 3 days till an announcement is made.
It could even be another third game entirely – perhaps a third Sonic & All Stars Racing game, or an overdue modern port of Sonic the Hedgehog 3.

Sonic games now have longer development schedules for higher quality games
(https://64.media.tumblr.com/456026b678f7cb4159d4af028e24ef25/0c8e22bdee8761b0-92/s500x750/49c388b5b76f5a9a03e985ac17d5a8f57f373696.gifv)
While Sega used to release Sonic games on an almost yearly basis, Webber points out that the quality wasn’t at the level “it needed to be” in some cases due to rushed production schedules.
In response, a couple of years ago the teams involved decided to “put more time into things as [they] go forward”, hence the longer wait for information.

Retro Review: Sonic 3-D Blast (Saturn)
A seven week port!
(http://segabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/3-D-Blast-600x419.png)
Hidden in the levels, you will find Tails and Knuckles just standing around looking bored. (Tails even yawns.)
Give them 50 rings, and they will send you to what is absolutely the best part of the game, the Saturn exclusive Bonus Stage!!
For me, these stages alone are worth the price of admission.
The music is one of the most funky tunes I’ve heard in a Sonic game and the levels play like a slightly improved version of the Sonic 2 Bonus Stage.
No Tails to steal your rings, it’s a bit easier (AKA less frustrating), and the ability to roll or jump higher adds a new twist.

Crushing Disappointments: Shadow the Hedgehog

Navigating around levels and shooting enemy after enemy with a bunch of generic auto aiming weapons simply wasn’t fun.
All of the AI attacked you, no matter which mission you where playing, forcing you to kill everything in site regardless of whether you where trying to help one side or the other.
The slippery controls for Shadow himself and the absolutely horrid vehicles didn’t help matters.
Neither did the dark, drab, ugly looking graphics.

Sonic Generations (3DS)
Great 3-D graphics with HD quality models
(http://segabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/SonicGenCover-600x537.jpg)
The environments look great for the most part and the 3-D is done really well, adding a lot of depth.
This is especially true in heavily scrolling levels like Casino Night Zone.
Models are especially well done. You can see it best when in the Special stages and in the cutscenes, which now have moving 3-D models instead of just still images.

Classic 1993 Interview: Tom Kalinske
President of Sega of America
(https://i.ibb.co/wJrbBMy/Tom-Kalinske.jpg)
"I think Sonic Spinball can only be compared to one like Mario Kart.
It’s just a variant of Sonic, so it can’t be considered the third entry in the series.
In this case, we’re taking advantage of Sonic’s charisma and putting that in a pinball game, and that’s turned a good idea into a great reality."

As showcased by Sonic the Hedgeblog on Twitter, players who install the mod simply have to pick "Doom Mode" off the main menu to load up the original game.
The program weighs in at less than 100MB in total and was created by modder TheStoneBanana.

Sonic Adventure (1998)
Bringing Back SEGA’s Iconic Mascot in Full Force

The game allowed you not only to play as Sonic, but also Tails, Knuckles, Amy, newcomers Big the Cat, and E-102.
Each of the characters had a unique gameplay element and not just ‘Sonic with new powers’.
The game had an open world that the player could explore, players would have to find items to continue playing the game usually.
There is also Chao garden? Raising pets that used the Dreamcast’s VMU to feed and play with them on the go?
How many of you got your minds blown by that concept?

You Were All Wrong About Sonic: Unleashed

Not only is Unleashed one of the best 3D games the series has managed to push out over the years, but it's still one of the most unfairly judged and forgotten titles in the entire franchise.
From the best characters and relationships in the franchise, to the most jaw-dropping levels that pushed Sonic to the very limits of what was possible for gaming at the time, here's exactly why you were all wrong about Sonic Unleashed.

Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal (3DS)
Emphasis on exploration balanced reasonably well with speedy platforming
(https://i.ibb.co/K5mMYRJ/Sonic-Boom-Shattered-Crystal.jpg)
Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal is a mixed bag, but a far better game than Rise of Lyric.
I liked the exploration aspect, and nods to Tails Adventures, as well as the characters different abilities and the game playing more like a Sonic game than Rise of Lyric ever did.
I also liked the music and the fact that the game was much more in line with the TV series.

Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice (3DS)
A Big Improvement over Shattered Crystal
(https://s12.directupload.net/images/201111/b4fey9pm.jpg)
Stages are far shorter than the sprawling 10+ minute treasure hunts that were in Shattered Crystal, this time taking anywhere from 2.5 to 6 minutes to complete depending on how much exploration you do.
While the level design is largely linear, there are diversions that lead to in-game items and circle back to the main path as well as alternate routes to the goal.

There was a High Demand for the 2D Sonic Games
Interview with Sonic Team’s Takashi Iizuka
(http://segabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/SOS13-Iizuka.jpg)
In addition to the main 3D series, there was a high demand for the 2D action games such as the Sonic Advance series, so we revived the old Sonic as Classic Sonic for the 20th-anniversary title, Sonic Generations.
We initially thought that it would be a 20th Anniversary project only, however after that we had a strong demand for a new classic Sonic standalone title, that became 2017’s Sonic Mania.
We would like to take good care of these two very popular iterations of Sonic’s in the future.

Happy 8th Anniversary Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed !!!

Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed had compelling replay value, really tight gameplay and (of course) an excellent soundtrack of remixed songs.
I had a blast playing it, and I wasn't sure how the developers at Sumo Digital could surpass the quality of this game in a future installment.
I suppose Sega felt the same way, since the Sega All-Stars series has been on hiatus ever since.

SEGA on which games were most popular in the SEGA Ages series on Switch

(http://archives.sega.jp/segaages/img/ttl_thum02.png)(http://archives.sega.jp/segaages/img/ttl_thum07.png)
In Japan, it’s definitely Virtua Racing. In addition to the sales numbers, I believe that everyone was able to see the technical capabilities of M2.
But in terms of the number of tweets, Fantasy Zone was actually more popular than Virtua Racing.
For overseas, it’s more diverse. However, in terms of sales, Sonic the Hedgehog was by far the biggest seller.
The second most popular title was OutRun – especially in Europe.

A few years ago, Sonic popped up in the movie adaptation of Ernest Cline’s pop culture-laden novel, Ready Player One.
The book’s sequel, Ready Player Two, came out recently, and people on Twitter have spent much of the previous few days posting excerpts from it and absolutely tearing it apart.

If parents of mobile game-loving kids needed another warning to turn off in-app purchases, here it is: a six-year-old Connecticut boy spent $16,000 on Sonic Forces (mobile) using his mother's credit card.

Unboxing: Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog Animation Legends Blind Bag

Earlier this year, I started seeing ads for Animation Legends, a company that was selling blind bags of animation cels from a number of cartoon series from the 70s, 80s, 90s and 2000s.
The promise is that you are guaranteed to have an A rated cel (80% – 100% of a character), and the remaining cels will be randomly selected with a B (cel visibly shows less than 80% of a character) or C (cel might include parts of a character but these cels mainly include scenery or other aspects of the show) grade.

Comic book writer Ian Flynn recently confirmed this during a BumbleKast Q&A, in response to a reminder about Netflix's upcoming Sonic project: "Oh yeah, there's that too - that is not based on the IDW books."
If it's not based on this, perhaps it means Sega and co has something more original lined up for Sonic.

Jim Carrey just won a 'best villain' Critics Choice Award for the Sonic movie
(https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/782/510/0be.gif)
Jim Carrey has had an absolute wild ride of a career; and life, for that matter.
But in 2020, all roads led to his role in Sonic the Hedgehog, where he brought his own signature zany humor into the character of Doctor Robotnik.
However you all collectively felt about the Olive Garden-advertisement-laden Sonic film, I think most people would agree that for what he was given, he was pretty good!

(https://s17.directupload.net/images/190326/tlhws3vy.jpg)
Early ideas and wireframes were first explored on paper and then turned into Adobe XD click-through prototypes.
Those prototypes were helpful during the game development as they were frequently used to showcase features to the team and used as a tool to scope the work involved on each feature.

Funny Videos - Everybody is Going Crazy Over Korone Playing Classic Sonic Games
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyq1vtFVENw
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeD-lKDv87I
The female Japanese virtual YouTube star known as Inugami Korone (or Korone, for short), hooked up an old Sega Mega Drive to her streaming setup and ran through Sonic 1 from beginning to end.
Because this was seemingly Koro-san’s first time playing the game, she runs into all kinds of mishap.

Larry King's Sonic The Hedgehog impression will live on forever in our hearts
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hd3_k-OF_aU
This, in one croaked and nasal “No one, no one caaaares about meeee,” is the genius of Larry King laid bare.
He doesn’t know who Sonic The Hedgehog is. He may have only the vaguest impression of what hedgehogs even look like.
But under the gentlest of goading from Sonic star Ben Schwartz, King simply goes for it, no self-consciousness, no second-guessing.

A "fan theory / if Speed Battle had a story" of mine is either the Phantom Ruby was shattered into many pieces, or the game consist of collecting left over Phantom Ruby prototypes. That's why the goal of eacn stage is what appears to be a Phantom Ruby Shard.
When the Phantom Ruby shattered, it caused two things to happen:- The dimensions to shatter, causing characters from other universes to appear. Such as a version of Sonic and Amy from a universe where they're baseball stars, or Sonic and Longclaw from the movie to show up.
- Spontaneous creations of replicas (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Replica) of everyone. Including Sonic, his friends and the visiting versions of themselves from the shattered multiverse. Because of this it's difficult to identify who is a replica or who is from another dimension.
So the game consist of you racing replicas/alternate versions of others as you must collect Phantom Ruby shards to restore the dimensions and proove who is the real deal.

Contrary to popular belief, nobody at Sonic Team ever used the name ‘Mr. Needlemouse’
(https://64.media.tumblr.com/4fec453b7bf1d5ae91a9c698537f0e49/tumblr_o9begcnq5k1tu022ro4_1280.png)
It turns out, nobody at Sonic Team ever used the name ‘Mr. Needlemouse’. In the 1990s or at any other given time.
According to SonicJPNews, when you attempt to translate the Japanese word for ‘Hedgehog’, it’s actually possible to split the word into two. ‘hari’ means “needle”, and ‘nezumi’ means “mouse”.
But together, they compound to mean “hedgehog” (‘harinezumi’).

Damn, I kinda late to the party.

I feel like it's gonna be broken if I touch it.

I think it's like from DC Comic : Superboy Prime from Earth Prime. (Later become Superman Prime)
There are other another Superboy from another earth (earth from another dimension) : Earth 1, Earth 2, Earth 3, etc

Sonic Prime to take place in Sonic Team’s video game universe,
SEGA crossovers not ruled out
(http://segabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/sonicprimegamvrers-750x422.png)
Recently we got the official announcement of the upcoming Netflix show Sonic Prime, but not that much information has come out about what the show will actually be.
As we know Sonic Prime is being written by Duncan Rouleau, who did give us a bit of insight into what we can expect from the TV show come 2022, including talking about possibility of future SEGA crossovers.

I'm not a Superman boffin, but was Superboy that clone of Superman made with Lex Luthor's DNA? I can't remember if he was created after the supposed death of Superman after his fight with Doomsday or somewhen else. But I think no one liked Superman Prime.

No, different one.
That's Conner Kent.
This Superboy Prime is Clark Kent from Earth Prime.
Earth where Superboy is the only one superhero in his universe.
Earth like ours but plus Superboy.
He's a good guy at first, but later become one of the main antagonist of Infinite Crisis.
He murdered many members of Teen Titans on that event.
One of the scariest DC villain because of his unstable emotion but with such power, nobody can predict him.

The 'Sonic Prime' show is aimed for kids so there is no way Sonic going that route.
But the core may be same, Sonic is from earth prime / universe prime and then traveled to multiverse and met Sonic from other universe.

I too heard about this. I did consider bringing it up but I didn't know if it was legitimate or not.
All I hope for is that it would be as good as Lego Mario, but I doubt Nintendo will allow Lego to share their toys with Sega.

I think SEGA agreed to that concept recently is also because Sonic 30th Anniversary is nearing.
They need all exposure they can get.

Despite the recent shakeups in the Sonic the Hedgehog voice cast, including the departure of Sonic voice actor Roger Craig Smith, and the previously unreported by us departures of Colleen O’Shaughnessey as Tails and Cindy Robinson as Amy Rose, one cast member has confirmed they are staying.
Mike Pollock announced via Twitter that he will remain in the role of Doctor Eggman, a role he has held since 2003.

Do you guys think that Ben Schwartz is playing it cute and knows he is voicing Sonic but since SEGA hasn’t officially announced it he is pretending not knowing?
Also consider this interview isn’t to promote a upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog movie but to promote the Disney+ movie ‘Flora & Ulysses’ that he is in.

That video is based from 4chan, so take it with a grain of salt.
Also here more the leaks that spread from 4chan :
1. SA1 and 2 ports (was supposed to be remakes, but stuff happened)
2. New Sonic game (Sonic Legend?) may get pushed past 30th anniversary. Combining Lost world and Forces. No old villains, aside from Eggman. New villain is introduced. Classic Sonic returns, but this time as an unlockable, as far as I can tell, not so much a part of the story.
3. Crush 40 was brought on to redo "Open Your Heart" and "Live and Learn", but this may just be added to the next CD, because remake got shafted for ports.
4. Chao Garden was a sh!t show for the remakes, as prior code was lost and coder could not be contacted, so be happy your pet sim did not have to shit the bed.
5. Chao garden will not return in new games, but Chao make cameos. Will get their own mobile game in time.
6. Music is on point, as per usual. Graphics are fine. Aesthetic is colorful, pops like cell shading. Cubic trees from Forces make a return, from stage I saw.
7. New VAs already cast for show. Might be in new game too
8. Few fan VAs have been contacted under NDA.

Ugh some of these supposed leaks are horrible and hope they are false.
Though if there will be a remake of the Adventure games I do agree how difficult it would be to revise the Chao Gardens. I have a few ideas and sollutions myself but I don't have a say in Sega.

Sonic series tops with 3.7 million units sold in latest financial report
(https://sega.jp/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/200414_1_8.jpg)
According to SEGASammy, the quarter in the Consumer Entertainment segment has “significantly exceeded the previous forecast”, specifically thanks to free-to-play titles for mobile phones (Sonic Forces: Speed Battle, Sonic Dash, i.e.) and pre-orders from Persona 5 Strikers which will be launched in the West during the fourth fiscal quarter.
SEGASammy also confirmed that the quarterly performance from the Consumer Entertainment segment was the best they had since the pandemic started, with strong performances not only in the Full Game area, but in others as well.

That's good right? Means more good things for Sonic Team?

That's good right? Means more good things for Sonic Team?
Yeah, not just Sonic Team but also SEGA Hardlight (Sonic mobile games) and SEGA Europe (Sonic ports on Steam).
And about the rise of the sales number ....
In October 2020 Sonic the Hedgehog 2 was given away for free on Steam and those numbers are counted.
It seems like this was planned to boost Sonic's sales number for Sonic 30th Anniversary.
-
Wait... so Sonic the Hedgehog 2 was given away for free to increase sale numbers even though they were not actually selling it? Doesn't that defeat the point?
-

Yeah, and they also counted Sonic Dash and Sonic Forces mobile game download numbers as sale numbers.
It's like SEGA wanted Sonic to be at the top of SEGA's franchise.
It's still behind Total War and Football Manager before, but now it's at the top.
(https://i.ibb.co/Wz51sYm/SEGA-series.jpg)
(https://s12.directupload.net/images/201106/z7yp5ea6.jpg)
The Big Three is still the same, but the order has changed.
May be because Sonic is SEGA's original creation (while Total War and Football Manager were from acquisition)
so they wanted it to be the top.
-
Eeeh Sonic Dash and Speed Battle rely on micro-transactions though. That really isn't a possitive image to base sale numbers on though.
Like, remember the reason Super Sonic wasn't included in Sonic Forces was because Sega planned a paid DLC for it? The backlashed force their hand to make it free.
If Avatar becomes a reoccuring character, who's to say there won't be cosmetics and wispons that require special currency (Like Star Gems or ArksCash) that requires Mummy's credit card to get.

Yeah, not a positive image for fans, but investors looked on number.
SEGA : We need you to be sponsor of Sonic 30th Anniversary. Sonic is our best franchise.
Investors : Sonic? But according to your latest annual report, Total War has the best unit sales number.
SEGA : ....
This conversation won't be happened now since Sonic is at the top.
If Avatar becomes a reoccuring character, who's to say there won't be cosmetics and wispons that require special currency (Like Star Gems or ArksCash) that requires Mummy's credit card to get.
Now.. now... Don't give them that idea. ;-D

Yeah, not a positive image for fans, but investors looked on number.
SEGA : We need you to be sponsor of Sonic 30th Anniversary. Sonic is our best franchise.
Investors : Sonic? But according to your latest annual report, Total War has the best unit sales number.
SEGA : ....
This conversation won't be happened now since Sonic is at the top.
Yeah but either the investors will ask how Sega get the numbers up and might even support the method for profit, or Sega would think it's okay to get investors this way which may lead to more paid content in their Sonic games.
It's like telling your child to eat all their vegetables only for them to feed it to the dog while you're not looking. If they get away with it the first few times then they may see it as an efficient way to keep at it.
If Sega wants Sonic to have higher sale numbers and attract good investments... they could just make better Sonic games.

Even fans don't ask where this sales number jump come from.
Sales with the price of zero is still considered purchasing on Steam so it's not like they're lying.

We're bound to get a major release for the 30th anniversary. I just hope it won't be as "Meh" as Sonic Forces and be more well put together than it. But if it's gonna be a banger they may need outside help for it. After all Sonic Mania wouldn't of been successful without Headcannon.

My concern is that this may lead to a force of habbit that will cripple the effort of quality put into Sonic games. If Sega makes another mediocre or poor Sonic game that doesn't make the sales and Sega will have to resort in boosting counts with micro transactions from mobile games and freebies that everyone already have just to get investors, who's to say they won't do it again next time they need investors or keep at it?
With the arcade market not doing so good due to the pandemic, SegaSammy are turning their attention to the mobile gaming market and that will mean less interest in the console/PC gaming market. If Sega needs investors to make sure Sonic stays relevent but it's Sonic Dash and Speed Battle that's keeping him afloat over the actual games they're suppose to market like Sonic Forces and Team Sonic Racing then SegaSammy may shift Sega's interest to the mobile market leaving Console and PC gamers dry.

I was wondering when Dr. Eggman will show up in Speed Battle for the last few years. Though I imagined him actually running than just riding the eggmobile. I know the Babylon Rogues have their extreme gear but it's not like Dr. Eggman can't run when he needs to.
-
Yeah, he could outrun Sonic in Sonic 2 so why not.
And he's a genius, surely he could make an invention that could make him run fast.

Sonic The Hedgehog Voice Actor Says It Was His Decision To Call It A Day

"You know, after a while you do things and start going ‘I think I’m very pleased and I’m very proud and I’m very happy with what has happened there,’ and I think it’s time to say, ‘I don’t want to keep doing this.’
Some people would be like, “why?” and it’s like, “it doesn’t have to make sense to you.”
It’s perfectly good sense to me and it was the right thing to do, and I’m happy to have done it.’"

Industry Insiders Explain Why Video Game Movies Are Getting Better And More Popular

Dmitri Johnson, who co-produced Sonic under his company dj2 Entertainment, was involved in the movie's on-again-off-again production since 2012.
He said that "everyone thought it was a joke," during the early phases of production, but that attitudes changed following the film's highly successful release.
"Shortly after that, the incoming calls definitely increased from studios [and] networks saying, 'Hey, whaddya got next?'"

Yeah, that news was revealed in February’s issue of Total Licensing Australia magazine.
Since it's on the reputable magazine, most likely it's true.
It's just there isn't any detail about that information other than it probably will be virtual due to COVID-19.

Aw.. It would be cool if Sega made a virtual convention hall or concert and VR players can attend the crowed. Maybe in VRChat which has become a rather public VR service.
Heck Lil X Nas held a concert in Roblox of all places. But I know sometimes Phantasy Star Online 2 have special guess characters non-canon to PSO2 lore, such as Hatsune Miku, so they can do it there as well I guess.

"Sonic: The Card Game" Announced !
(https://i.ibb.co/qRvSFH0/Sonic-The-Card-Game.jpg)
Steamforged stealth-dropped news about the upcoming Sonic The Card Game at the very bottom of a list of their upcoming releases as part of the virtual GAMA festival currently going on.
The drop doesn't give away many details about the game itself, but we know it's going to be a cross between card game and race, something that makes a lot of sense considering 'gotta go fast' is Sonic's main tagline.

I think it's because it is in a constand state of development. It still works and has all it's features but there's always room for improvement. Honestly, it be nice if the Avatar menu has a search function. Would save me the trouble of having to find Avatars I like by browsing worlds all the time. It's a hassle.

I once had ideas for a Sonic card game. I dunno what I did with it. All I remember is that gold rings serve as "life points" for the player and that each card had Attacks or Abilities to pull off.
I gave up on the idea and now making a card game for Alex Kidd.
I wonder if the new card game will simply be the Sonic X Trading Card Game (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Sonic_X_Trading_Card_Game) but based on the games? Or maybe it will cover the various spin-off continuities also.
-
According to Techraptor, it's possible that the card game might follow a similar vein to Sonic Crash Course (https://kotaku.com/sonic-crash-course-the-kotaku-review-1831565488), another family-friendly Sonic game that tasks players with racing each other on the tabletop. So may be cards x board game is also possible.

Her buddies, the Chirps, are stuck in various buildings, and need to be escorted to safety.

SEGASammy expects "Sonic Prime" to “strengthen” Sonic IP

Probably they want to avoid more lawsuit over Sonic like the one with Ken Penders before.

Sonic, Amy, and Tails are Trapped in Eggman's Version of Battleworld
(https://i.ibb.co/cQT1fTS/Fascinating.jpg)
Eggman's manipulation of physics, to the point of creating entirely new and completely different places within a single tower, feels like Dr. Doom's Battleworld from Marvel's 2015 Secret Wars series by Jonathan Hickman, Esad Ribić and Ive Svorcina.
Whilst Sonic's world has always been a varied one, it still had a scale of change similar to our own Earth, nothing quite as patchwork as Battleworld.

I doubt they would ditch SatAM. SatAM is just too important to most Sonic fans of the cartoons. Plus Penders don't own any of the characters in SatAM given they're all before his era and they made it over to post-SGW. The only reason I can imagine Sega would be against SatAM in Prime would be eww, naked chipmunk!

Not from Penders, avoiding "lawsuit over Sonic like the one with Ken Penders before."
Someone from SatAM creative team could always just showed up and claim they're the one who creates the characters.
Remember how SEGA avoided releasing Sonic 3 after Michael Jackson died?
(Last ones, Steam version and NDS version, were released when he was still alive)
Michael Jackson would have no problem with SEGA releasing the game over and over again since they are always in good term.
The problem was after he died.
Whom the music that Michael created's right belongs to?
The Jackson estate lawyers or the six composers who worked for four weeks alongside Jackson (Brad Buxer, Bobby Brooks)?
Legal battle is tiring.
If they could avoid that, they would avoid that.

If it's a matter of who legally owns SatAM, that would be DiC wouldn't it? DiC was aquired by Cookie Jar, who eventually become WildBrain, the same studio making Sonic Prime.
So even if Sega doesn't have full rights to SatAM, they could still commision WildBrain who have a share of those rights to include DiC-era Sonic cartoons into Prime.

Probably, but there must be a reason why SEGA forbid IDW comic writers uses SATAM characters on the newest Sonic comic series.
May be they think better to make new characters than to use them, and all new characters (Starline, Belle, Rough, Tumble, Mimic, Whisper, Tangle) so far are great addition to the stroyline.

Probably, but there must be a reason why SEGA forbid IDW comic writers uses SATAM characters on the newest Sonic comic series.
May be they think better to make new characters than to use them, and all new characters (Starline, Belle, Rough, Tumble, Mimic, Whisper, Tangle) so far are great addition to the stroyline.

They're alright. Not my fave but they're alright.
Belle the Tinkerer is cute though. And honestly there are background characters throughout IDW whom I be more curious to learn their stories. Like Lanolin the Sheep.

From the Archie comics, I kinda like Mammoth Mogul.
Too bad Penders' lawsuit would later inspire fellow former writer Scott Fulop to pursue legal action against Archie for unauthorized use of his characters including Mammoth Mogul.
Consider him gone then.

A Sonic Colours remaster?
That's literally the only Sonic game that no one is asking for a remaster of! Way to spit in the face of the Adventure fans Sega.
Though it will probably be likely simply the same Sonic Colours game, just with the controls readapted for the Switch and the stages extended and that's all. Even as a hardcore Sonic fan as myself, even I wouldn't bother buying a Switch over it.
-
A Sonic Colours remaster?
That's literally the only Sonic game that no one is asking for a remaster of!
Not true.
There are a lot asking of Sonic Colours for Steam after Sonic Lost World released for Steam back then.
I guess the decision is for PC gamers first with console gamers later in mind, even if it will be released on console first.
Total Wars and Football Managers numbers may be a factor for that decision.

Doctor Robotnik was also spotted, though it is unknown if this is Jim Carrey or a stunt double.
Robotnik is sporting his bald head and big mustache from the end of the first film as well as a black trench coat with popped collar.
The scene appears to see Robotnik airlifting himself away, likely using one of his robots.

Has SEGA Ever Officially Called Sonic the Hedgehog “Sonic 1”?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKUyX9nD1wQ
Following the release of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 in 1992, fans began to call the first game “Sonic 1”. The name is an easy way to differentiate the original 1991 game from Sonic the Hedgehog the comic series or the junior novel or OVA or 2006 game or 2020 movie or even the character himself.
But has SEGA ever officially called Sonic the Hedgehog “Sonic 1”? Well, actually they have!

At a speed befitting of the spikey blue hedgehog himself, director Jeff Fowler has confirmed that Sonic the Hedgehog 2 has wrapped filming in Vancouver.
It only feels like five minutes ago that Sonic the Hedgehog was collecting all of the gold rings as one of the last pre-pandemic blockbusters, making $319M globally just as the world began to shutdown.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 movie plot synopsis released
(http://segabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/EzdA3IqX0Awc_lo-750x500.jpg)
The movie very much appears to use elements of the third Sonic game and its add-on Sonic & Knuckles, while also featuring the debut of Tails who appeared only in a post-credits scene in the original film.
Also worth noting, Tom and Maddie leaving on a vacation is likely to see them off screen for much of the film, a common trope in sequels when they want to shift focus to other characters.

Unstoppable: Sonic The Hedgehog 30th Anniversary Trailer Releases – May 27th Digital Event Announced
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_J-qZE77yA
SEGA has kicked off Sonic the Hedgehog’s 30th anniversary with a new trailer, titled Unstoppable, as well as the announcement of an online event.
The trailer showcases Sonic’s impact on kids over the past 30 years, and how those kids grew up to be influenced by the franchise.
Nothing real meaty is revealed, but it’s very well produced and a nice way to start the celebrations.

New Jade Wisp and "Game Over" No More in Sonic Colors Ultimate
(Famitsu Interview with Takashi Iizuka and Kazuyuki Hoshino)
(https://i.ibb.co/Qn8STGs/Segabits-Sonic-Colors-Ultimate.jpg)
Iizuka: Since the output power of consoles and televisions has gotten better since then, there’s that.
But the biggest change was removing the old life system.
“Game Over” as we know it, doesn’t fit with the current context for gameplay, so this time players can play it unlimitedly without worrying how many times they fail.
Going even further, since it’s an action platforming game, if you fail to jump, you could fall in a bottomless pit and commit an error, but we have added the function of “Tails Save” to help the player.

Tweek also moved Sonic up to S-tier.
The blue hedgehog is often placed in B-tier, but the Wolf and Pokemon Trainer player said on his podcast that Sonic has the "best win condition in the game."
Tweek explained that once Sonic has the lead on an opponent, Sonic players can simply just run around and hold onto the win since most opponents can't chase him down.

Sega Hopes 2022 Sonic Game Lays the Foundation for Future Titles,
Similar to Sonic Adventure 20 Years Ago
(https://64.media.tumblr.com/8c15fe512003ca12d1649db2f40ac7ab/tumblr_inline_oodf87Skmn1thtl7y_500.png)
"Sonic Adventure laid the foundation for 20 years of Sonic titles after its release, so in the same way I really hope that this new title releasing in 2022 lays the foundation for the following future Sonic titles – that is the idea behind the challenge for the team," said Iizuka.
"Since this title is still mid-development there is nothing I can speak to, but I did want to say that the development team has been spending their time to do something new and challenging."

SMT Liberation DX2 Adds Sonic as a ‘Demon’
(https://sega.jp/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/210625_2_0.jpg)
He is a “Speedster,” which means battle speed is increased by 50% for him. He also has the unique passive Supersonic Hedgehog, which lets him survive a deadly attack with 1 HP, starts a chain effect, and makes his next physical attack a critical hit.
You can also use 5MP to make him perform a Spin Dash to deal four-hits of physical damage to a random group of enemies. It gets the Force Pierce effect if Might is in effect. Sonic also resists wind (Garu) elemental attacks.

Sega designer tells the origin story of a gaming legend

In an interview with TechRadar, Yasuhara explains how he iterated on this turbocharged figure and the hyperreal world he was destined to inhabit: “I was thinking of making the characters something that children could draw and scribble. Simple, with circles, triangles and jagged lines.
The green ground and tender slopes were based on my memories of the Japanese countryside where I spent my summer vacations as a child.
The idea for enemies were also based on my own memories. I think I made a game out of the fun I experienced as a kid.”

I'm still not entirely sure how I feel about 1-ups being phazed from use. Ben a staple since Sonic 1 after all. I'm hoping they'll do it like Crash Bandicoot remakes and make lives optional.
And those Tails Saves look goofy. They could of made him a playable character but instead have this? Again, I hope there will be options to play SC:U like the original Colours game.

If the level is too long, I think having Tails save in the middle is a great addition.
Infinite lives still means you have to start from the beginning of the level when you die, right?

I really want to log into Minecraft, get involved and play! But I can't...
Because I have a "Legacy account" which means it's a former Mojang account that needs to be migrated into a Microsoft account.
The alternative I buy Minecraft again, but why should I if I already got it?
Also I forgot my password again. I usually don't forget my password but I changed it to something else because it wouldn't let me in the first place.

Eggman's Daughter Is the Missing Part of Starline's Plan
(https://i.pinimg.com/236x/f3/fa/2e/f3fa2e1bf4ff26793d6989e7faf81f5b.jpg)
Having broken away from Dr. Eggman, Dr. Starline has been busy constructing his own dastardly plan for world domination.
What exactly he has planned is still unknown, but his solo series, Sonic the Hedgehog: Bad Guys by Ian Flynn, Jack Lawrence, Aaron Hammerstrom, Bracardi Curry and Leonardo Ito, gave ample insight into what the mad doctor has been up to.

Sonic Colors: Ultimate – Wisp Spotlight trailer

Yeah, it made me think that ... did SEGA already had rights for Sanic?
Since Sanic was also showing up in Sonic movie.
I "think" Sega owes a degree of rights to all Sonic fan characters, but they can't use them because... well, Sega can't use them because they're half-original and the fan's can't use them for profit because they're half-Sonic characters if that makes sense.
Sanic however they can use because as far as I'm aware YouTuber 0nyxheart made no ownership claim to Sanic and I don't think they legally could because it's just a badly drawn Sonic. Sega can use Sanic because... it's a badly drawn Sonic.
I myself dunno how I feel about Sanic. Ever since Sonic Colours the games just feel... I dunno, I'm still a Sonic fan and I want to stay loyal to Sonic until I'm done with life, but ever since Colours it feels like Sonic Team think "No one takes Sonic seriously, so why should we?" sort of attitude and went ahead to emphasize the toung-in-cheek humour the games usually have to just cringe.
It's why I am not at all hyped, psyked or even care at all about Sonic Colours: Ultimate. It's the game where the Sonic series embraced it's self-joking meme culture when I'd rather have more thought-out dialogue like the Adventure games or Unleashed had. Why don't Sonic Adventure or Sonic Unleashed get the Ultimate treatment? Seems unfair to me.
-
I still think Sonic Colours: Ultimate is the way SEGA compromize due to the fact that they can't get Sonic Rangers (or whatever the title of Sonic's new game will be) in 2021 where Sonic 30th anniversarry's happened.
They at least want 2021 get a Sonic game, so that's why they add remastered of past Sonic game.

But they could of still given any other game the Ultimate treatment but they chose Sonic Colours instead. There are fans who are tired of Sonic being more of a goof than he usually is, tired of the wisps, tired of Sonic Team treating their own franchise as a meme. They call it the "Meta-era" and say it started with Sonic Colours, and they want it to end.
Instead we're back at the beginning with even more wisps and SOnic's cringy midlife crisis attitude and Baldy McNosehair jokes.
-

Yes there are, but there are more lot of fans who haven't played Sonic Colors due it's only released on 1 console, and still has no PC version.
So I still think the choice is really well made.
Do I really want Sonic Colors get remastered? No, I already play the game a lot back then.
But I know a lot of my friends do, since they never got to own Wii before.

I know, I wouldn't want to take it away from anyone who hasn't played Sonic Colours before, especially given it was exclusive to the Wii... But they could of just made it a direct export to PC like they did with Sonic Lost World? Why aren't the other ported games good enough for a remake like Colours was?

They can't. I remember reading in the interview that Wii's structure is too different compared to other consoles. Many many adjustment had to be made.
Other ported games ... already had PC version so they're not their first priority.
-
I guess. Checking the Sonic games on Wii that explains why there has been no other adaption of a wii game... Which is a pity because would love Storybook games on the PC... if control-scheme is worked out.
Well I said my piece on the matter. Nothing I can do about it other than my choice whenever to get SC:U or not.

Classic Sonic May Be Here To Stay, According to Interview
(https://sega.jp/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/210812_1_02.jpg)(https://sega.jp/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/210812_1_06.jpg)
Gaming magazine Retro Gamer released a Sonic 30th Anniversary themed issue last July, and in it contains some interesting nuggets of information on the history of Sonic, as well as some hints towards what’s next for the blue blur.
In the interview, Sonic Team leader Takashi Iizuka stated that after a successful run with Sonic Generations and most recently Sonic Mania, Classic Sonic would hopefully continue to be featured in the future.
Article : https://www.sonicstadium.org/2021/08/classic-sonic-may-be-here-to-stay-according-to-interview/
-
Classic Sonic in Generations was suppose to be a one-off and Sonic Mania was suppose to be his own game. And by Sonic Forces fans have made it quite clear they feel Classic Sonic has overstayed his welcome.
If Classic Sonic (as well as Green Hill Zone) has non-canon cameo apperances in later Sonic games then sure, that's fine. But Classic Sonic is suppose to be Sonic's past and the past should remain the past. It goes against the "keep moving for4ward" attitude the whole series has had. We're not Super Mario fans, we don't get nostalgia-high over every time World 1-1 or N64 castle get's a remake.
-
Yeah, Classic Sonic is suppose to be Sonic's past, we supposed to be moving on.
But after Sonic Mania's success (both in sales and reviews), I can't blame them if they decided him to stay.
-
Sonic Mania is so popular not because Classic Sonic was in the game, but because the whole game is suppose to emulate the Classic-era of Sonic games right down to the 16-bit (well, more 32-bit) graphics. Although Classic Sonic's inclusion to the game would of been necessary.
As for his involvement in Sonic Forces, everyone thought he was redundant by then and had enough of Classic Sonic being involved in so many things.
But typical Sega-neurotypical fashion they respond to what they see than what it is.
-
Still if there's a new game or cameo in other game, be it's classic or modern Sonic, I'd welcome any of it regardless.
Just don't force it to have both of them in the same game like Sonic Forces again.

Interview: VGM Composer Tee Lopes Talks about Sonic, Streets Of Rage, etc
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQFXa5YeZHw
"When I joined the SOR4 project, Olivier Deriviere and the other composers involved had already taken liberties that redefined SOR music, using more modern and even acoustic elements which were impossible to recreate on a Sega Genesis, so I continued further down that path by adding even more outlandish features; heavy metal, trap, dub, jungle and other elements we hadn’t heard in a Streets of Rage game before.
I took lots of inspiration from classic SOR music, but also from old movies, modern music and pop culture media."

Kinda wish there was no dialogue in it. That jade wisp crying as it retells the traumatic experiance it had and Sonic is bored and asking it to add in jokes and car chases.
(https://c.tenor.com/kel5jRlfN1wAAAAC/asshole-marty.gif)
When Sonic Colours first came out, I thought the game made Sonic more obnoxious than before. If Sonic Colours: Ultimate would have him at his most obnoxious then I won't buy it.
-
Kinda wish there was no dialogue in it.
This one I'm 100% agree.
As for me Sonic Mania Adventure, Team Sonic Racing Overdrive, and Chao in Space have a charm because there was no dialogue on them.
Kinda like watching old Disney's cartoon.
-
(Forums so slow, by the time the page loaded up it logged me out! Had to log back in again.)
While Sonic has always had an attitude they may make him come off as snarky and impatient at times he was never the sort to come off as rude to others. And that whenever he is aware there are others upset or in tears then his more compassionate side will show where he will listen to what's upsetting them and will do what he can to help them, wanting others just to be as happy and as easy as he got it in life.
While Sonic Colours Sonic is still willing to save the wisps, it feels he's doing it more for the glory and for the thrill of it... I mean yeah, that's a quality I like about him but it's not something Sonic prioritizes in when it comes to crisis. He knows he can do this, he has confidence but that doesn't mean he should be an arrogant prick about it. He's like those obnoxious YouTubers, the sort that have made millions off YouTube and use that money to go places, buy fancy things and ostupid stuff because the personality they developed for their adult life consist of "likes and subscribes".
To sum it up, here is a comparison between the most memorable cutscene in Unleashed with the most memorable cutscene in Colours.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07g3hbFIJIY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1DenmbPcHs
Practically a far cry from one another.
-
In term of story I agree, Unleashed is better portrayal of Sonic than Colors.
But in gameplay I have to go with Colors.
Wisps do add new element to gameplay compared to werehog mode.
I think Sonic's still sometimes kinda rude.
To Eggman, and other enemies of course.
He loves to mock them.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQH0alkZ25U
-
Sonic being rude to bad guys is understandable. They're bad guys. Sonic being rude to others is a sometimes thing, often those times they don't take offense to it. But I rarely see Sonic be rude to those who are crying. USually Sonic is the one who tries to cheer them up and assure them he'll save the day. While Sonic did promise he'll help the jade wisp's friends I was still taken aback by the attitude towards it.
How would you feel if your family andf loved ones were kidnapped by terrorist, that you were genuinely upset and to tears about this... and I just yawn in your face?
-
Sonic's just impatient, that's all.
And if the guy who yawn in your face could save them, then you'd bear it no matter how annoyed you are.
-
I guess, but it would be a huge red flag if they are the kind of person who are capable of saving lives but have little interest in how you feel about it.
Like a "I will be a hero because it amuses me", and not in a charming OnePunch Man sort of way.
-
Sonic in game is rarely rude, that might be true.
But in comic (Fleetway), he was really that rude and far from charming.
Still make me laugh somehow back then when he acted like that.

"When we worked on Sonic The Hedgehog 3, the development team was in the suburbs of San Francisco, Calif., and the Sega Sound Team I belonged to was in Tokyo. I never met lead programmer Yuji Naka, lead designer Hirokazu Yasuhara, and Sonic 3 designer and current head of Sonic Team Takashi Iizuka in person during the development process at that time.
It was a unique experience in that era that we sent the DAT tapes by airmail to the development team for their reviewing and received their impressions via fax."

Q : "Which game proved more challenging to adapt?"
A : "Since each Sonic game we’ve adapted has been different, they all had their own set of challenges.
However, I will say that the game that provided the most challenges to adapt was Team Sonic Racing.
Teamwork is important to Team Sonic Racing, and it’s something we wanted to highlight in our animation."

Believe me when I say that no other franchise comes close.
Dredge deep through the muck of Reddit, and you might turn up some questionable Zelda-themed smut.
Cheeky Pokémon pin-ups are out there, if you know where to look, and the parasocial love affairs encouraged by role-playing games like Persona and Mass Effect have left many gamers aching with lust deep into the night.
But Sonic remains completely unthreatened in his erotic superiority.

Making it sound like it's a bad thing.
It looks okay when we only taste a few of it.
But then we found "Sonic rap*ng Tails" or "Amy being gangb*ng*d" doujin,
who wouldn't be disgusted of it.

Sonic Colors: Ultimate Review – Reach for the Stars in HD (PlayStation 4)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dL5AlXKHjII (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dL5AlXKHjII)
Ultimate is a remaster done right.
The original game is intact and is given a graphical and gameplay lift through a much needed visual boost and unobtrusive additions.
The frustrations of the original game remain.
You will still curse whenever you miss a platform thanks to Sonic’s slippery controls and inadvertent boosting, but to fix this would be to fundamentally change the game and I can’t fault Ultimate for that.

The fact SC:U needed a patch on day one is not a good sign... Especially given some have reported the game lagging or shutting down impromtly before it.

It's being developed with Godot, a free and open source engine, not with hedgehog engine.
Even the lead dev was really surprised since the engine was not meant for big companies to use unless it was modified a lot.
May be that's why.
The glitches mostly was found (famously by TWIP) on PS4 version, right?
Heard no issues on Switch version (that only run on 30 fps), the version that I would get because of its portability feature.
All reviews for Switch seem good and they never mention any bug.

I don't have any modern consoles so my best bet would be Steam. But even still I am rather indecisive to get the game. Other than dressing up Sonic like mardi gra I don't really want to go through the anguish that was the original Sonic Colours again. Having to pass six acts per planet, most of those acts being worse stage designs than Sonic Forces. Uuuugh.

Ken Penders Interview: Sonic Comic Writer To Finish What He Started

"I’m hoping my story inspires the next generation to do their own thing as opposed to playing in someone else’s sandbox.
I never saw Sonic as playing in someone else’s sandbox because Sonic didn’t exist when I began working in comics.
I didn’t grow up with the character the way today’s kids did."

Sonic the Hedgehog Comic Proves Tails' Haters Have Always Been Wrong

It's reat to see IDW give Tails his time to shine, even if this story isn't as ambitious as the fate Archie Comics awarded the young freedom fighter.
While fans of Sonic the Hedgehog's comic lineage have long known that Tails is no joke, Sonic the Hedgehog #43 offers concrete evidence that without him, there are challenges that even the Blue Blur wouldn't be able to overcome.

Sonic and Tails Face Off Against Their Evil Twins In New Miniseries

IDW just announced that Sonic the Hedgehog and Tails will fight against their evil doppelgängers in a new four-issue miniseries called Imposter Syndrome leading up to the main Sonic series' monumental 50th issue.
The publisher didn't divulge that much about these new villains except to say that Dr. Eggman's former fanboy-turned-traitor Dr. Starline most likely created them.
It also implied that Sonic's twin is a girl.

Weird, I don't find any bugs or glitches at all, but I'm only playing the game casually.
I know some person that posted the glitches playing it illegally using yuzu (a switch emulator), at least one person admit it after getting caught.
Similar glitches on real hardware can be caused by switching planets very fast causing memory overload.
I mean.. why the hell did you do that? You won't see them if you play normally.
Most of reviewers don't find them too because they play normally.

I heard the Switch version of the game was the most glitchiest that Nintendo offered refunds for the game.
To be fair, Nintendo versions of major games were always inferior.

It has the lowest spec afterall. Guess making it 30fps was still not enough.

That's true. The thing is ... Nintendo version was always the one which sold most.
Even the inferior version of Sonic Generations on 3DS outsold its original PS3 version.
This is why all Sonic games after that is either multiplatforms (including Nintendo system) or Nintendo system exclusive.
Kinda make me worried to Sonic Rangers, since making it playable enough on Switch seems to restrict the game's potential.

You'dd probably regard me still bitter over living through the "console war" and seeing Sega loose to Nintendo and all... but I still never trusted Sega's relations with Nintendo. To be clear I won't deny that Sega are not entirely at fault for most of their shortcomings but I still believe that their post-war "friendship" isn't entirely sunshine and daises.
Take the "partnership" Sega had with Nintendo in 2013. A "partnership" implies that both parties agree to work together and take equal responsibility for any failures or shortcomings. So Sega and Nintendo had a partnership for the development of three games for the Wii U: Sonic Lost World, Mario & Sonic 2014 Winter Olympics and Rise of Lyric.
In development, Sonic Lost World was intended to be a "110% Sonic game"... yet why does it feel like Nintendo had sway in it's development? Why does the whole game feel like it's trying to brown-nose with Nintendo? Why are most of it's DLCs Nintendo themed? It's a game everyone thought was more like a Super Mario game than a Sonic game.
Then there was Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric. Yes it's Sega's fault for it's development but did Nintendo helped their "partner" at all to make sure Rise of Lyric would work on their console?
So anyway, we all know how bad Rise of Lyric turned out to be. Given this game was released in partnership with Nintendo, I guess that mean Nintendo are just as equal to blame for the quality of the game as Sega right?... right?NAH! IT'S ANOTHER BAD SONIC GAME! WHAT YOU EXPECT FROM SEGA? Nintendo's hands were clean from it.
And no one complained that much over Sonic Lost World because it was more like a Mario game than a Sonic game.
As for the Winter Olympic game, it had Super Mario in it.
It just pisses me off that Nintendo were quick to forget the partnership when Sega failed to provide quality games for their failing console. To throw them under the bus.
Now Nintendo are the first to offer refunds for thew Switch version of Sonic Colours: Ultimate thinking it make them look more responsible than Sega despite the fact the provided screenshots were taken from an emulator and that the Switch verison just need some patchwork done.
*Sigh* Imagine living on a timeline where Sega would of beaten Nintendo at the console war. Where they become the multi-billion dollar company Nintendo is now. But we'll never know.
-
Nintendo's definitely ain't a saint but it still takes two to tango.
SEGA's still at fault for its quality check insurance.
Real glitches may be minor but the fact that they exist .. it's kinda make it worse than Sonic Forces or Lost World that have no such problems at launch.
I'd still blame those click and bait content creators that are using review copy to find the glitches, not to review them.
Once it gets many likes , the domino effects started.
Others want to jump in too, even if they have to sell their soul to satan (https://megamitensei.fandom.com/wiki/Satan) by making fake glitches or using emulator.
Hopefully they get their karma later.

Way I see it, Sega are the underdogs. Underdogs are not the bad guys but can make mistakes and sometimes the underhanded decisions in their struggles to get to the top, but not entirely bad guys. I'm aware of the abuse the developers went through for some of their projects, I'm even aware of their ties with crime (as this Nintendo article (https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2015/11/rumour_leading_japanese_game_company_kidnapped_devs_sister_to_stop_them_from_working_with_nintendo) said) They made mistakes but I know they're not entirely bad.
Nintendo however, everyone treats them as the god-company of the Video Game industry. That Shigeru Miyamoto only poops gold. That Nintendo owners are usually the wealthiest men in Japan. That they're absolute perfection.
That if the game involves Mario it's 10/10, ★★★★★, Masterpiece!
Heck "Super Nintendo World" has little to do with Nintendo and just Super Mario narcism... I mean yeah, I see how hypocritical I am given I wish Sonic had something like Super Nintendo World... But Sonic could of had a theme park, but Mario only got one because Jesus himself owned a NES or something.
I know that given Sega stepped down from the console market that they will no longer be on the same platform as Microsoft, Sony or Nintendo. But I still wish Sega would be a challenge to Nintendo again someday, esecially given it was during the console war that encouraged both Nintendo and Sega to do their best.

They could still have their Olympic games. I'm just saying it be nice if Sega and Nintendo were as competitive as Coca-Cola and Pepsi. I mean whenever one cola company makes adverts bashing the other their must be consent from both sides, Coca-cola and Pepsi probably know their "rivalry" is marketable for the both of them.
Another reason why it be bad for Sega to return to the console market would that not only would it cost more to mass produce consoles but would also mean Sega games will no longer be multi-platform which makes Sonic and other Sega games accessable to those without specific consoles. It's why I never bothered buying a Switch, XBox X/S or PS5 because my PC is still good for Sonic games.
But still... Nintendo is a multi-million dollar company, and despite making games exclusively for their consoles they're.... well, of 2021 third to Sony and "Tencent", some chinese video game company I never heard of until now, in revenue. SegaSammy are in ninth place. So props to them for making the top 10. Just be nice if Sega were one of the titans that would make Nintendo regard Sega more on equals like they were in the '90s.

I know, just something aesthetically pleasing about Sega consoles. What instead of a proper console, they make a small form factor (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_form_factor_(desktop_and_motherboard)) gaming PC (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaming_PC)? Just like VALVe's Steam Machine (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_Machine_(hardware_platform)). It's not exactly a console, more of a specific-made gaming PC with a unique operating system. Sega could bring back Sega Channel (https://segaretro.org/Sega_Channel) over it.
I mean... I know full well they're not gonna and I'm just writting the ramblings of a Sega-sentimental moron... But sometimes I wonder what would Sega'#s next console be after Dreamcast or what their current console would be today. (Especially after running out of planet to name the console development projects after.)

No, they're not coming. At least not Lost Judgment.
The fallout stems from Johnny & Associates (the talent agency behind Takayuki Yagami actor Takuya Kimura) not wanting the Judgment games to launch for PC.
The company doesn’t want Kimura’s face to be so readily accessible on the internet.
Maybe they aren’t happy having it on a platform that could easily be modded and ruin Takuya Kimura’s image.
Since he is a huge boy band, its obvious that these talent agencies are over bearing and controlling.

May be Crypton Future Media doesn't want their beloved mascot, Hatsune Miku, could easily be modded into nude version or something like that.

They even need Microsoft's help for Phantasy Star Online 2's network.
https://customers.microsoft.com/en-us/story/863405-sega-corporation-gaming-azure-en-japan
I mean... I know full well they're not gonna and I'm just writting the ramblings of a Sega-sentimental moron... But sometimes I wonder what would Sega'#s next console be after Dreamcast or what their current console would be today. (Especially after running out of planet to name the console development projects after.)
I bet it will be something phenomenal.
Something that other companies have been thinking of.
But it'll cost a lot ... and then SEGA tried to cut the cost ...
Making wrong decision ... and somehow went into financial trouble again.
May be.

I never had audibook cassetes, but sometimes I borrow them from my friends.
They are all in Indonesian language though, not in English.
Most of my cassetes were Michael Jackson's album back then.
I become Michael Jackson's fan after falling in love with Moonwalker arcade game.

Back when NDS Sonic games were good... up until Sonic Colours for the N3DS.
Sonic Colours for the NDS is kinda better than Sonic Colours Wii (and Colours Ultimate of course) in term of ending.
In Wii version, the game's ended after fighting Nega Wisps Armored Eggman.
But in NDS version, after defeating Nega Wisps Armored Eggman, Sonic still has to go to full "Super Sonic" mode to fight 'Mother of All Wisps' who went berserk due receiving many negative energies.
NDS version also features other Sonic's friends (Blaze, Rouge, Shadow, Amy, Silver, etc) while in Wii version the game only features Sonic and Tails.

Most of those glitches were found by players manhandling the game. As much as I don't like Sonic Colours as it is, I don't think it deserved the degree of backlash it got from it's release.

It is. Some of those glitch-reporting vidos were just players who just wanted to point them out for Sega to fix than anything bias against them. But those gamesite articles take those videos (without permissions likely) and use them as slander against Sega.
I think it's likely that Sonic Team will put more effort in quality control in the next Sonic game (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Untitled_2022_Sonic_game) but even if they produce a solid piece of gold, gamesites who find it "trendy to hate Sonic" will likely poop all over it.
But while Sonic Team are not the same Sonic Team as before (it was kind of a lie for them to say Sonic Forces was made by the same team that brought Sonic Generations and Sonic Colours. It's kind of like a "Trigger's broom (http://y2u.be/LAh8HryVaeY)" sort of thing) I still believe they are capable of making a great Sonic game like they did for Generations and I have a feeling that this game may bring in a new "era" of Sonic to us all.

It's just "so cool" to hate Sonic, just like people back then to hate Justin Biebers, or to hate Michael jackson in the 90s.
People who did this really need to get a life.

I always wondered why not use Dragon Engine to make Sonic games, Sonic in Yakuza-like world would be somewhat close to Sonic Adventure 3.
And then I remember ... Dragon Engine isn't compatible with Switch.
That's why Yakuza games and Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown aren't showing up on Switch.
That's why Super Monkey Ball was made with Unity, not Dragon Engine, since its main target is Switch.
Switch compability were indeed limiting SEGA / Sonic Team's decision.

When I played Yakuza 0 for the first time I had strong Station Square vibes... probably because of the shop windows which use optical illusions to look spacious but really just a panel behind gass window.

So active mobians I guess? Surely something for humans to enjoy.
AFAIK there are no humans in sight other than Eggman, I wonder why.
Not just in Colors, but in IDW Comic series, Lost World, and Sonic Forces too.

AFAIK there are no humans in sight other than Eggman, I wonder why.
Not just in Colors, but in IDW Comic series, Lost World, and Sonic Forces too.
Have you forgotten The Adventure, '06 and Unleashed games? Humans are present on Sonic's world. My fantheory/headcanon is that humans simply outpopulate mobians by a lot.
A long time a go (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Early_Sonic_canon), it was believed that Sonic games take place on an alien planet with Dr. Eggman as the only human. Japanese manuals never refered to it directly but western manuals called it Mobius. Over time the name Mobius caught on with the early cartoons at the time.
By Dreamcast, the established lore was thrown out for a revised lore saying Mobius was never a thing and that Sonic lives on Earth. However unlike our Earth (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth), this Earth (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Earth) had different geography, advance human cultures, various phenomena and an eldritch Cthulian horror (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Dark_Gaia) sleeping within the heart of the planet.
Since Dreamcast, this has caused somewhat of a division between how Sonic fans prefer their games, this division wouldn't be "propely labeled" until Sonic Generations introduce the eras. But it's mostly accepted that Sonic games have always taken place on an alternate paralell Earth different from ours.
At least, that was what was established up until Sonic Colours when in an interview Takashi Iizuka said that Sonic's world and Earth has always been seperate and various games either take place in one or the other.[* (https://web.archive.org/web/20100817082306/http://www.game.co.uk/Games/Wii/Platform/Sonic-Colours/~r349876/UserControls/ProductView/#)]
Given there is no evidence of Sonic going to and from seperate worlds, this caused a brand new rift in the fandom. One-worlders like me who believe/prefer it was always a single alternate Earth for Sonic games and Two-worlders who believed in the more classic Mobius and Earth being seperate thing.
One-Worlders like myself bring up lots of contradictions to this statement. If Sonic 3 & Knuckles takes place in Sonic's world and Sonic Adventure takes place on Earth, why is Angel Island present in both games? Why is the Mystic Ruins on Earth? Takashi Iizuka's excuse is "some miracle brought it there." I think eventually Ian Flynn confirmed that the two-world statement was redacted and that it has always been the one world for Sonic.
But there were some who took the two-world statement as figurative, I did. Like how the "Wizarding World" of Harry Potter. The Wizarding World is not a seperate planet from Earth where sorcery resides in. It's simply a term to refer to the hidden magical community of wizards and witches who live secret and seperate lives from non-magic people to the point it feels like separate worlds to them.
I like to believe that humans and mobians share the same planet which they call Earth. Humans outpopulate mobians which is why throughout Adventure, '06 and Unleashed we see humans everywhere but hardly any mobians other than Sonic and his friends. But I believe mobians simply prefer more secluded communities than humans, perhaps island-life such as the islands from the Classic-era of Sonic games.
This theory is somewhat supported in Sonic Forces where the World Map depicts a large island. This moves onto my second theory that this island is actually a modern take on South Island. My evidence:- Green Hill (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Green_Hill_(Sonic_Forces)) = Green Hill Zone (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Green_Hill_Zone_(Sonic_the_Hedgehog))
- Mystic Jungle (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Mystic_Jungle) = Jungle Zone (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Jungle_Zone) (and a bit of Labyrinth Zone (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Labyrinth_Zone))
- City (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/City) = Spring Yard Zone (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Spring_Yard_Zone) (The very least the city can be seen in the background, but both zones are urban zones that use warm colours.
- Metropolis (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Metropolis) = Star Light Zone (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Star_Light_Zone) (I always thought Star Light Zone looked like a giant construction site. So I imagine Metropolis is the finished work of Star Light Zone and what it would look like during day time.)
- Eggman Empire Fortress (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Eggman_Empire_Fortress) = Scrap Brain Zone (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Scrap_Brain_Zone) (8-bit Sonic 1 shows Scrap Brain located on the highest mountain of South Island. And given MArble Zone shows the island to be volcanic means the mountain is likely a volcano. In Sonic Forces, Eggman's fortress is located on a volcano-like mountain on the World Map. So I am guessing Dr. Eggman turned what's left of Scrap Brain into his Empire Fortress.
And that pretty much covers about a third of my theories on the nature of Sonic's world.

I know, I grew up with Archie Comics and SA1/SA2 on Dreamcast too.
My first sentence is for Sonic Colors.
I just make a point that for recent trends (after Colors) SEGA tends to NOT include humans in their games / comic book.
Funny thing ... Mario Odyssey did the opposite.

I grew up on Sonic the Comic. But yeah that's my theories on how Sonic's world works. So I tihnk it's likely Dr. Eggman would of had humans in mind for his theme parks as well as mobians. Just has routes specifically for Sonic.

Khinsider Has Removed 500+ Albums Related to Sega
(https://64.media.tumblr.com/2b597bc539d22374ddc919accffd2df9/c58ef0afa262a1fb-7e/s500x750/19cad037532413065a3bce52f0e9cd33c1d7be7f.jpg)
"Segapocalypse!
Wave Master, the company that manages Sega's music, has contacted me and asked me to remove lots of albums related to Sega.
At the end of the day, over 500 albums were removed, including Sonic, OutRun, and others.
Unfortunately, this even included fan made compilation albums for games that have no commercial releases, which, quite frankly, makes absolutely no sense.
If you were wondering why some albums have disappeared on the site, this is why."

I believe Sonic takes the more dangerous routes on purpose though. MEanwhile Tails just potters about the amusement park. Given we don't play as him I pressume he visits the visitors areas.

Btw in one of Sonic Colors cutscenes, Sonic mock Tails for not helping him in defeating Eggman.
Tails answered that he already helped by making translating machine for Wisps language that could guide Sonic where to go next.

RUMOR: Is the Sonic Balloon Returning to Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade This Year?
(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/ff/e5/90/ffe590244eeb9b9bb7b536ea0f30148d.jpg)
While these details do suggest the video is much more recent than his 2013 appearance, it should obviously not be taken as a confirmation that Sonic is being used this year.
Neither Macy’s nor SEGA have officially confirmed Sonic’s presence at the parade, and a single Instagram video without context isn’t definitive.

Yeah but Tails could still get involved more. He has all of Sonic's movesets except for boosting, but can fly.

I think that's why in Ultimate Tails' give more role with Tail's save. He's Sonic backup when something's gone wrong. But to be consistent, they should've changed the cutscene where Sonic mocks Tails.

They could of changed a lot of things while still keeping to the essence of the game.
For example, each world has six acts. That's just too many to keep my interest in a place and most of those acts feel less effort was put into them than Sonic Forces stages. They could of at least tweaked three of these six stages to work for Tails. Especially the stages that hardly need boosting.

Eh, I like many acts, especially short ones (usually act 4-6).
I'm too lazy replaying stages that are too long solely for scores, but short ones are okay for me.
I guess people's preference are different.

The announcement was made on Wednesday, Sept. 29, with the image of Carrey and Majdoub shown in a cup of coffee for National Coffee Day.
Majdoub retweeted the post and later confirmed that he is returning for “Sonic The Hedgehog 2.”
And that image in the coffee hints that Dr. Robotnik will need him again as his sidekick should bring in tons of laughter once more like the first installment.

Ex-Sonic Mania developer Evening Star working on a 3D Action Platformer
(http://segabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/yoyoprotag-750x413.png)
Its been over half a decade since SEGA teamed up Christian Whitehead and the crew to develop Sonic Mania. About two years ago, most of the ex-developers went on to form Evening Star Studios.
Earlier today, Evening Star posted on Twitter that they were hiring for their new upcoming title and checking their website under games, you see them teasing their new upcoming original game.

Smart people tend to be oblivious to the immediate things around them given their brains are on a higher level. Plus intelligence doesn't excuse personality given Dr. Robotnik was a self-centered person in the film.
Plus, it's only a guess of mine that Agent Stone harbours affection for Dr. Robotnik. If he does then even we didn't know ourselves from the first movie.

Sonic Would Stand No Chance Against the Good Version of Dr. Eggman
(https://i.ibb.co/jr6DmVR/Eggman-from-Sonic-The-Hedgehog-Comic.jpg)
Dr. Starline immediately notices that Mr. Tinker's Belle can experience "the full gamut of emotions" such as loyalty and familial devotion, a discovery he finds most pleasing, especially since he can easily replicate the coding.
The robots created by Dr. Eggman's good alter ego Mr. Tinker are so much more complex than the villain's Badniks that Sonic the Hedgehog would undoubtedly lose if Mr. Tinker ever returned and waged war against him.

Cotton Guardian Force Saturn Tribute on Nintendo Switch features fully working SEGA Saturn emulator

City Connection just recently released Cotton Guardian Force Saturn Tribute that compiled Cotton 2, Cotton Boomerang and Guardian Force on a single cartridge.
The game was, well, not well received due to the emulation being used having input lag, making the games hard to play.
The story would have ended there but, GBATemp user Iisreal2301 figured out a way to load his own SEGA Saturn images onto the game file, basically allowing you to boot up any SEGA Saturn game by tricking the system into thinking its loading a Cotton game!

- fixed 2 pixel in water of greenhill act 2
- trees in Marble should look ok-ish

I wish Sonic Team would make more Halloween (and Christmas) specials for Sonic the Hedgehog like they used to do with Christmas NiGHTS into Dreams (https://nights.fandom.com/wiki/Christmas_NiGHTS_into_Dreams) and Sonic Adventure DLCs (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Sonic_Adventure#Downloadable_content). But now days only the mobile games seem to put any effort into it.
Ideas in mind:- A sequel to Sonic: Night of the Werehog (http://y2u.be/5mkL1DmYMM4), or if the werehog is a no then the very least an animation set in Pumpkin Hill or Cryptic castle. Preferably animated by Marza (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Marza_Animation_Planet) or Kusomoto (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Yukio_Kusumoto).
- Archie and IDW have made issues for Halloween ComicFest (https://www.halloweencomicfest.com/) but these issues (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Free_Comic_Book_Day#Halloween_ComicFest) had nothing to do with Halloween or it's themes. Archie made an adaption of Sonic Lost World and IDW reprinted their first issue. I know that making comics is not easy and sometimes they have to stall scheduled release dates for the issues but can they at least put asside some of that development to put into a mild-horror spin-off story for Halloween ComicFest? 2019 was during the Metal Virus arc, where they had zombies! They had the perfect genre for a Halloween special and instead of telling a story around it they reprinted the first issue instead. What a waste. Could of had a Living Dead parody or something.
- When it comes to Sonic cartoons, the last holiday special I recall is Sonic Christmas Blast (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Sonic_Christmas_Blast). Since then the Sonic cartoons never had holiday specials. I did made a list of episodes I thought were suited for Halloween (https://sonic.fandom.com/f/p/4400000000000144876) but other than that would a holiday special be too much to ask for in a Sonic cartoon?
- Just make more use of Sonic the Werehog (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Sonic_the_Werehog). He's a perfect representive of Sonic for Halloween promotions, events and specials.
- A VR browser version of Sonic Ghost Shooting (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Sonic_Ghost_Shooting). I just have my doubts I'll ever play this for real so a VR remake of it would be the next best thing.
But, if I could ask for just the one thing to have for a Sonic Halloween special, it would be a brand new Storybook game (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Sonic_Storybook_Series) set in the world of classic monsters (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Classic_Monsters). I'm imagining this storybook world being a lot like 19th century Transylvania but with places like 1790 Sleepy Hollow (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleepy_Hollow,_New_York) and Yharnam (https://bloodborne.fandom.com/wiki/Yharnam). If I ever made such a game myself I would call it "Sonic and the Blood Moon". It could have themes of Halloween but could still be a kind of Sonic game that can be played all year round. (Though I would make the included Party Mode (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Party_Mode) entirely Halloween based.)

My idea for an IDW Sonic Halloween ComicFest issue would that it takes place not long after the events of #19 (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/IDW_Sonic_the_Hedgehog_Issue_19). It be about a small group of civilians lead by a Restoration member who try to leave the Hotel but could not, thus they miss the rescue truck and no one even knows they are there. Luckily the hotel is still rather secured, comfortable and with supplies but how long can they hold out before the Zombots get in?
While a completely original cast of (disposable) characters, Shadow, Charmy and other characters who are zombots cameo as problems they have to overcome but the idea of the story is inspired by Dawn of the Dead, which is about a group of survivors in relative and plentiful comfort while trying to survive zombies.About the list that you made, the one I remember most is Sonic X one with Boo ghosts. For me it's definitely the scariest among them all.

The list is all the Sonic episodes I can find that fit the bill of mild-horror in theme but as far as I'm aware no Halloween episodes. I find that while Tails' Tale isn't exactly pumpkins and ghosts, it has tombs, cobwebs and bat-people which is rather Halloweeny.Sonic Ghost Shooting game could happened if SEGA's willing to/
I meant they already published arcade version of Nintendo's Luigi Mansion (https://i.redd.it/hazmt07mw4k41.jpg)
Ghost Shooting game is already an arcade game in Joypolis. Problem is I and many others outside of Japan will probably never get to play it. That's why I suggest recreating it as a browser-based VR game, so that I and others can simulate the ride and the experiance. And given it's about shooting ghosts, well how Halloweeny is that?Horror Storybook about Sonic sounds nice too.
Just too bad Storybook series died with Wii.
It's a damn shame for Sonic Team to stop the storybook series short on just two games. What I liked about these games is that they take Sonic into more original and unique themed worled that relaxes the aesthetics and standards the Sonic games are known for. I mean the rings are a staple but it replaces springs, dash pads, robots and other things for concepts and gimmicks unique to the world it's set in. Because of this, SOnic Team could of made a storybook set anywhere for any theme or occasion.
For example, my storybook idea "Sonic and the Blood Moon", it's somewhat gothic in theme and set in a world similar to Yharnam (https://bloodborne.fandom.com/wiki/Yharnam). Despite these ideals and perhaps elements of Halloween in there, it's not neccisarily a Halloween game, it's still the kind of game you can play whenever, it just so happens that classic monsters (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Classic_Monsters) are the theme.
But given such a game is likely to be favoured to play around October, if the game had a Party Mode (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Party_Mode) I would call it "Halloween Party Mode" and just go all out with the jack-o-lanterns, veiled ghosts, trick or treats etc.
I had an older idea for storybook games called "Sonic and the Pearls of Wisdom", an ancient-chinese themed game set on the Journey to the West (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journey_to_the_West). I've been holding onto that idea since before S&tBK.
-
Party Mode is my favorite part of Sonic and Secret Rings.
Just changing their background into haloween theme could made me want to play them again.
That storybook idea "Sonic and the Blood Moon" is interesting.
But may be change the title since I don't think "Blood" is a suitable title for kid-friendly Sonic games.
Unless the game is for mature players of course.
I think I ever read somewhere that there are some words that can't be used a title if we want the game to get E rating.

"Sonic and the Red Moon" is fine. As long as the reason why it's red is kept in.
In S&tSR, just as Erazor Djinn cast the Flame of Judgement (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Flame_of_Judgment) on Sonic that limited his time.
In S&tBM would have a similar curse put on him after the main villain leaves a nasty cut on his arm and stains the moon with a drop of his blood. As the moon gradually turns red throughout the adventure so little is Sonic's time.
But this dark ritual unlocks a familiar power to Sonic, allowing him to become the Werehog for certain stages. The gameplay of these stages are similar to Die Hard/Dynamite Deka in gameplay.
I haven't thought of a good name for the Big Bad or the Companion yet, but I know the roles of Sonic's friends counterparts:
Shadow and Rouge = The Vampires. They are servents to the Big Bad, but eventually Sonic convinces them to turn against him. While not specifically named they are based after Dracula and Camilla.
Tails = The Scientist. After Sonic helps him subdue his "creation", he convinces him to be more compassionate to his creation. The scientist is based after Victor Von Frankenstein and his creation after Frankenstein's Monster.
Knuckles = The Hunter. Stereotypical monster hunter. Fought Sonic as a werehog and was baffled the werehog showed him mercy. When he put asside his prejudist against monsters is willing to help Sonic fight the Big Bag. His attire is based after Gabriel Van Helsing.
Blaze = The Mummy. She was asleep in a sarcophagus found i the Big Bad's collection. She possesses an amulet that concentrates her fire into solar light that burns vampires and Big Bad.
-
Tails as The Scientist and Knuckles as The Hunter were good ideas.
Choosing a bat as Vampire is indeed the most logical sense I think,
But I'd prefer Rouge become a mummy, like her in Sonic 30th Anniversary Art Book : Life in Sonic's World Vol.1
(https://sega.jp/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/210825_4_4.jpg)(https://sega.jp/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/210825_4_2.jpg)
(https://i.ibb.co/3YQ7Qfd/Mummy-Rouge-The-Bat.jpg)
Blaze on the other hand could be ... um I don't know, ... what's a ghost with a fire theme?
-
I wanted Blaze to be a Mummy, and by that I mean she has some bandages but her body is perfectly healthy than all zombie like. She possess an amulet that allows her to shine sunlight through it at any time, anywhere, which makes it a powerful weapon against vampires.

We’ve known for a little while that Sonic comics scribe Ian Flynn has at least been informed about Sonic Prime’s production since before it was publicly announced.
We now have a better idea as to the extent of his involvement in the show’s production, thanks to a tweet by Man of Action writer and artist Duncan Rouleau.

Sonic Mania 2 Is Said to Have Been Scrapped Internally at Sega
(https://c.tenor.com/qeDIX768yvMAAAAC/sonic-mania-knuckles.gif)
Zippo explained that the reason for this seems to have been due to a clash of some sort between Sega and Evening Star Studios.
The blog in question didn't get into too many specifics about what happened here, but it did state that Sega of America was the division of Sega that proved to be the problem.
Zippo claimed that Sega of America management was "extremely unreasonable", leading to a "break up" between the publisher and Evening Star.

Sega could always hire someone else to make it I suppose, but honestly, do we need a Sonic Mania 2? I mean, why not just make more DLCs for Sonic Mania Plus? Plus, if a new Sonic Mania means Classic Sonic in a modern Sonic game, do we really need that?
Plus are you sure this is legit? Isn't it the same guy who said Sora isn't going to smash and that the Sonic Adventure remakes were canceled even though Iisuka said he hasn't even made any of the likes?

I love Sonic Mania.
1 or 2 DLC stages won't satisfy my hunger.
My wish is be a full game sequel or nothing at all.
Plus are you sure this is legit? Isn't it the same guy who said Sora isn't going to smash and that the Sonic Adventure remakes were canceled even though Iisuka said he hasn't even made any of the likes?
Yes because it didn't contradict what's happened.
Evening Star isn't big studio.
If Evening Star is already busy with their next own game, then it's indeed very likely that they don't work on Sonic Games.
Ex-Sonic Mania developer Evening Star working on a 3D Action Platformer
(http://segabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/yoyoprotag-750x413.png)
Its been over half a decade since SEGA teamed up Christian Whitehead and the crew to develop Sonic Mania. About two years ago, most of the ex-developers went on to form Evening Star Studios.
Earlier today, Evening Star posted on Twitter that they were hiring for their new upcoming title and checking their website under games, you see them teasing their new upcoming original game.

Classic Sonic content added to Sonic Racing for Apple Arcade
(http://segabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/FCjiRW-XMAgqLfL-750x422.jpg)
Just a few days ago, we mused on Twitter about how the promised Classic Sonic content announced back in June for Sonic Racing, the Apple Arcade version of Team Sonic Racing, was nowhere to be seen.
Either a SEGA HARDlight staffer saw our tweet and realized they needed to get to work OR (more likely) it just so happened to be that today was the day they planned to debut the new content.

Glad to know that still there's chance of Sonic Mania 2's happening.

If it were to happen I won't see how story wise. Other than continued pursuit of the Phantom Ruby. But if Sonic Mania 2 will have the same gameplay as the first, graphics as the first and same story as the first... then why bother with a sequel at all?
I mean sure, same can be said for Sonic 2 on the Mega Drive but Tails was a major game changer.
That's why I think that Sonic Team should of made "Level Pack DLCs" for Sonic Mania Plus. Simply an assortment of stages to play through for no story or reason other than fun.

If it were up to me ....
Change the characters, that's how it will affect on gameplay.
Dish Mighty and Ray,
replace them Amy (with hammer like in Sonic Advance 1) and 1 brand new character that has new gameplay.
(http://segabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/SonicAdvance4.jpg)
Also replace Knuckles and Tails with Vector and Charmy.
Knuckles and Tails still could be unlockable later after finishing the game once
(just like on Sonic CD remake).
(http://segabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Knuckles-chaotix-speed-slider-AWESOME-STAGE.png)
And make 2 player stages that could be played in the same screen, not split screen.
This one is kinda hard, but if we're talking about sequel of the best Sonic game of decade, then aim big !

I'd probably keep Tails and Knuckles, but I'd replace Mighty and Ray. Maybe reintroduce Team Chaotix. I wouldn't introduce brand new characters though, only characters who had started in classic Sonic games.
New zones, badniks and new Hard Boiled Heavies being the exception.

but the more the merrier of course.

This play tester also revealed some Sonic the Hedgehog 2022 gameplay details.
Apparently, the game will not feature multiple playable characters and Wisps, and it will be possible to purchase new special moves from a dedicated shop.
Additionally, locations in the game will feature different types of terrain that will impact speed.
As a whole, the game feels like a mix between Sonic Adventure and Sonic Lost World.

Sonic the Hedgehog's 'Super Saiyan' Form is Way More Powerful Than Superman

As Super Sonic, the character has faced down forces of nature like Dark Gaia and Gods like Solaris without breaking a sweat.
That being said, his form is limited until his power runs out. But with the speed of the Flash and even greater strength than Superman, Sonic has more than enough time to assess Superman and defeat him before Clark can throw the first punch.

Sega Announces Major Investment in Gaming as Performance Significantly Exceeds Expectations
(https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/232394281149530116/906216124373409812/unknown.png?width=456&height=467)
Today Sega released its financial results for the first half of the fiscal year, related to the period between April and September 2021.
The company reports strong performance centered on the Entertainment Contents business, which focuses on video games.

Is Sonic in the lead? Or Shin Miggi something? Text to small to read.

Is Sonic in the lead? Or Shin Miggi something? Text to small to read.
Sonic is in the lead.
F2P games were counted so Sonic Dash and Sonic Forces mobile generated a lot of numbers for Sonic :
1.38 billion units and download.
For comparison Shin Megami Tensei is at 17.7 million and Total War at 37.8 million.
Billion vs million.
Shin Megami Tensei's also in the lead for Atlus in numbers,
(usually Persona is the one who's leading),
but this just because it counts its new F2P game "SHIN MEGAMI TENSEI Liberation Dx2" too.
If we're talking about moneywise, Persona still beats Shin Megami Tensei,
but this list only compared number of units and downloads.

Frontier is usually a word meaning new places to explore and claim! Will it still be on Sonic's Earth or another world?
No detail about that. But since it's rumoured to be an open world, it'll be easier to make it another new place to explore so that Sonic Team could go wild with it without having too many past restriction.

Rumor : Sonic Frontiers will include a ghost girl who's into Sonic and “very sexualized and attractive.”
(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/6a/3a/15/6a3a15ca4770ca0a8c7897d009e76ea7.jpg)
The poster also claims there is somewhat of a romantic mood between Sonic and the ghost girl, and that the girl is even “very sexualized and attractive.”
The second post (dated November 6th) claims the Ghost Girl knows more than she lets on, but is keeping it a secret and is not revealing why she is so invested in not seeing Sonic hurt.
While she is to embarrassed to reveal how she feels, she wants to be freed from cyberspace and that the villain (who can turn invisible) can turn her into a real female hedgehog; rather than a human or humanoid as a ghost.

Yeah, why create a new character when there was already one.
But may be they can't use her since what she likes is the werehog, not the real Sonic.
-
True but in an open-world the werehog may not be so bad to balance speed with power.
I just hope Sonic Team won't miss out on a Halloween DLC with werehog if that's the case.

While werehog's gameplay was solid, it's still the most hated element in Unleashed. I don't think they'll bring back something that would be hated by majority of fans.

Book review: The SEGA Mega Drive & Genesis Encyclopedia
(https://i.ibb.co/HCd17q5/SEGA-Mega-Drive-and-Genesis-Encyclopedia.jpg)
Former CVG and Official Nintendo Magazine scribe Chris Scullion turns to the dark side for his third exhaustive unofficial encyclopedia, taking us on a tour of not just the entire western SEGA Mega Drive and Genesis catalogue, but the Mega CD and 32X as well.
As someone more than familiar with the Mega Drive library, it was a delight to find it peppered with tidbits of knowledge, such as SEGA Sports’ NFL 97 heading to Saturn and skipping the Genesis, only to return to the 16-bit console the following year.
When it comes to the sports games, in particular, it’s clear Scullion went out of his way to make each entry a worthwhile read – a task far harder than it may sound.

Yes. According to Gamesradar (https://www.gamesradar.com/monster-hunter-rise-teams-up-with-sonic-later-this-month/) :
The Sonic the Hedgehog collaboration might be kicking off later this month for everyone on the Nintendo Switch version of Monster Hunter Rise, but it's also coming to the PC version of Capcom's game.
When Monster Hunter Rise debuts on PC on January 12, 2022, the Sonic collaboration event will be there as a day one addition to the already-massive game.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Movie Trailer (or Any Other Sonic Related Thing) Teased for The Game Awards
(https://c.tenor.com/bCa7PtjNZRIAAAAC/sonic-sonic-movie.gif)
It's looking like Sonic fans might want to check out The Game Awards this Thursday, as there could be something to see.
The official Sonic the Hedgehog Twitter account Tweeted at Geoff Keighley, asking whether the host has "any extra invites."
Keighley cheekily pointed out that Sonic doesn't even follow him on Twitter, but apparently that didn't stop him from hooking up the blue blur with an invitation to the show.

The SEGAbits Swingin' Report Show LIVE – Our Favorite and Most Disappointing SEGA Games of 2021
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NE-pjvCz7AQ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NE-pjvCz7AQ)
As for me, my 2021 favorite is Persona 5 Strikers, the game is fast, stylish, and fun to play.
Better than the turn based prequel, Persona 5 OG/Royal, since it's faster.
The most disappointing is Hatsune Miku Colorful Stage since it's announced to be released globally but turned out it's not released on SEA territory.
I don't care anymore whether the game is good or not, the hype is gone. I'll stick to Idola Phantasy Star Saga for mobile gaming.

Tails will be taking a co-starring role and the iconic red biplane will be making the jump to the live action movie series, though whether it is christened the Tornado remains the be seen.

Frontiers is an open-world game – or open-zone as Sega describes it – developed by Sonic Team Japan and led by Sonic Forces/Sonic Lost World director, Morio Kishimoto.
Fans of Sonic comics should be happy to learn that Ian Flynn, lead writer for IDW’s Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and former head writer for the Archie Comics Sonic run, is penning Frontiers' story.

I dunno the difference with open world though.

Maybe it means instead of one open-world map there will be several open-world maps called zones. Some of these peculiar buildings and structures remind me a bit of PSO2:NGS. So Hopefully it won't feel as boxed in as I did in PSO2:NGS.

Hopefully so, but at least the engine to make the game is different.

Eeh sort of, I mean the stages in Sonic '06 were still rather linear but I see your point.Hopefully so, but at least the engine to make the game is different.
It looks awesome. And (so far) no mention of Wisps nor the use of Sonic Lost World aesthetics which is a huge plus for me.

I don't mind Wisps, but I don't mind losing them either.
I think they were cool when they're still new back then.
Still wondering why there's no Silver Wisps and Gold Wisps.

“You’ve got Sonic’s speed, you’ve got Knuckles’ super strength, and we just put them in an environment and let them go at it,” Fowler says.
“It’s like a little Captain America and Iron Man;
it just offers so much opportunity in terms of fight choreography and action.”

Merry & Bright will start at 6PM GMT. Nutcracker Silver has a little bit more holiday preparation to do before he arrives, so the event will start slightly later than usual.

Also, Composer Jun Senoue returned for this arrangement. While Senoue worked alongside Ted Poley to create the original song, Dean DiMarzo came to assist on this new take.
While Lyn is well known as the Persona 5 singer, she’s performed on the soundtracks for Persona series spin-offs too. She sang six songs on the Persona 5 Strikers soundtrack.
This includes that game’s opening theme, “You are Stronger.” She performed “Groovy” and “One Nightbreak” for Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight.
She also was behind some of the tracks for the Persona Q2 soundtrack.

with two joycons attached in left and right of the tablet as attachable controllers.

Saturn's Diamond Dust is made by Richard Jacques, right?
I think now the departement who in charged in Youtube videos tend to avoid using his song,
in order not to anger him again like he did with Tee Lopes (https://www.reddit.com/r/SonicTheHedgehog/comments/dtowfj/richard_jacques_now_deleted_response_to_tee_lopes/).
If Sonic's channel make a Yule Log video they could still credit Richard Jacques, it's good manners after all. I may have only found out about Yule Log videos recently but I think Yule Log videos need at least these three things:- Obviously a fireplace with a crackling fire. The camera may concentrate either on the fireplace or display the living room that is decorated for Christmas. Such as visable Christmas tree, a window with a snowfall outside and even better if the light of the fire is visable on its surroundings. The camera may occasionally do both by moving towards and back from the fireplace. The fire itself can simply be a few-minute loop (around five minutes) to give the illusion of a continuing fire.
- Casual, easy-to-listen to music. When it comes to winter stages (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Winter_theme) in Sonic games, not all of them have such casual themes (and I know Sonic 3 music is a bit of a grey area for Sega's legal department, unless they straight up play Jetzons' Hard Times (http://y2u.be/H2OWC5Hosv8).) but they could probably find fan covers that they can ask to use and such. As long as Diamond Dust (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/File:Diamond_Dust_Zone_Act_2_Saturn.ogg), Snowy Mountain (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/File:Snowy_Mountain_for_Icecap.ogg), Limestone Cave (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/File:Limestone_Cave_for_Icecap.ogg) and Holoska hub theme (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Holoska#Music) are used given they're the most chill Sonic stage themes I know. And if that's not enough they could probably pad out the length with music from Christmas NiGHTS and traditional carols. The music needs to be "easy-to-listen to" because it's for when you're relaxing by the fire, not for partying.
- (Optional) the occasional animation. Instead of it just being a few-minute loop with music, the video could have the occasional surprise with tidbits of animation to keep the audience on it's toes.
For a good example, 2020's Doctor Who Yule Log (http://y2u.be/kZXNnui21w0). It has everything! It has music composed from the show, it has the Doctor (though that's not her actor Judy Whitaker), it has tidbits of animations (my fave being 27:32) and sometimes the camera pans from close up of the fireplace to it's surroundings. And more importantly it keeps to the aesthetic of the show by looking like a fireplace that belongs in the TARDIS.
To be honest, I find it hard to imagine how a Sonic Yule Log can work given Sonic has always been more of an outdoor person. Plus I always find it hard to identitfy the "Sonic aesthetic" that I dunno how such a fireplace work.
(But if you asked me to do a Mario Yule Log, well that's easy. Princess Peach' castle from Super Mario 64 is so recognisable that might as well have the Yule Log somewhere in her castle. That's what annoys me between Mario and Sonic aesthetic, Marios aesthetic is more easy to recognise than Sonic's outside of Green Hill Zone.)

Those are nice ideas.
I remember Jesse Pajamas could made relaxing christmas version of any Sonic songs,
too bad his channels are deleted now.
What I'm trying to say is that .. it is not have to be based on Sonic's snow levels.
It could just be Christmas remix version of any Sonic song.
But I guess Sonic official channel just adapt "it's got to be something perfect or nothing at all" and choose the later.

As long as they don't leave it last minute as Nintendo did. It's not like Christmas is just announced unexpectedly.
And yeah christmas remixed versions of other stage songs could work as well.
As for where Sonic's yule long should be I dunno. So far all I can think of is:- Professor Pickle (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Professor_Pickle)'s study, preferably the one at Spagonia University (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Spagonia_University). Though I can't recall if his study had a fireplace or not. Problem is given his study was such a small and somewhat generic place I doubt it would be that recignisable to the Sonic franchise.
- Somewhere in the Resistance HQ (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Resistance_HQ), though honestly we just seen a room of th HQ which consist of a main computer and some crates, nowhere that looks homely for Christmas let alone a fireplace.
- Instead of a fireplace inside somewhere, instead the yule log could be placed on a campfire located in a zone. Maybe at Ice Cap (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/IceCap_(disambiguation)), (either Sonic 3 or Adventure), White Park Zone (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/White_Park_Zone), Holoska (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Holoska), Frozen Factory (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Frozen_Factory), Press Garden Zone (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Press_Garden_Zone) or Glacierland (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Glacierland). While Green Hill may seem the most Sonic-recognisable place, I always found Green Hill too tropical to believe it can snow there.
If I were to choose a place, my choice would be White Park Grand Chateau (https://idwsonic.fandom.com/wiki/White_Park_Grand_Chateau). However it depends how many people have read the IDW comics to know what that place is like or can even imagine it like Sonic at all.
EDIT: Decided to try and make my own Sonic Yule Log video. However given it's Christmas Eve now I doubt I'll have it finish by Christmas. But if it looks decent I'll post it next year. So far I made a fireplace using textures from Twinkle Park, including the red carpet texture. I just need a good wall texture. Will try to recreate Station Square christmas trees.

I'm sure it'll look good. I just need more Sonic Adventure textures to make it feel more homely. The fireplace itself looks great so far (albeit bare but I can add stuff in SFM, it just needs wallpaper. I'm thinking red because I plan for a moment during the video where the camera turns right to reveal an animated recreation of this (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/File:SSS_SONIC12.png), and later on in the video will turn right to show this (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/File:SSS_SONIC24.png) (in which Tails may play Green Hill by Jon Batiste (http://y2u.be/H_fiwjSP4Aw), unless Sonic's new movie will have an Emerald Hill piano piece).
I have a few other animated tidbits in mind for the video to keep it interesting but I won't spoil what I have in mind. I would post a picture, but I can't upload/post pictures straight from my harddrive.

LEGO Ideas’ Sonic the Hedgehog set reportedly leaked ahead of official release

News tips to Tails’ Channel suggested that Latin American retailer Mercado Livre has listed the upcoming set in what gaming critic Jordan Middler described as a “leak” before the intended release.
The seller has not given more details about the set, but it was disclosed that the release was scheduled for 2022.
The claim has not been officially corroborated.

Nitrome Once Pitched A Sonic Mobile Game to SEGA, Here's A Look
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKh5Y8d5fjc
There's no proper name attached to this demo, but apparently, Nitrome's latest release Super Leap Day for Apple Arcade borrowed the demo's wall-running mechanic.
Unfortunately for Nitrome the pitch didn't appeal to the "Sega Gods" and so this Sonic mobile game never saw the light of day.

Check Out This Never-Before-Seen Intro To BioWare's Now-Decanonized Sonic Brotherhood

Now, video game animation expert and author Jonathan Cooper has shared something new relating to the game – an animated introduction sequence that was removed from the final product.
According to Cooper, Sega decided to cut the animation and used a montage of gameplay footage for the intro instead.

With the acception of Lego Dimensions, I haven't played with Legos since I was a kid. But I might be tempted to get a Sonic Lego set.
But... I would not be that interested in it if it did not have an electronic minifigure just like what Mario had (https://brickipedia.fandom.com/wiki/Mario). I know it's unfair to compare Sonic's products to Mario's but given Mario's minifigure doubles as a game then shouldn't Sonic have something just as quality? Ever since I watched this video (http://y2u.be/K69r-DTAlRg), I would love to do Lego-papercraft projects with a Sonic electronic minifigure.Nitrome Once Pitched A Sonic Mobile Game to SEGA, Here's A Look

I've already seen it (https://sonic.fandom.com/f/p/4400000000000150865). The animation reminds me of early 20'00-'10 Newgrounds animations. I can see why Sonic Team rejected them but they still look better than Chronicles cutscenes that look like they were animated with PowerPoint.

I hope it's not a matter of Nintendo have copyright ownership of "electronic minifigures" or something. As far as I'm aware, Mario#s minifigure is the only electronic minifigure LEGO has ever made.May be SEGA was thinking the game is too slow for Sonic game.

True, but would it really been bad to stall release of Sonic Chronicles for further development? Ever since Sonic '06 there has been cases of Sega straight-up telling the audience "We decided to postpone the date for development, we're sorry" and I've seen the community welcome this warmly.

May be it's mandate from Nintendo? They agree appearing in lego series but it has to be different.

Yes, but only for the game they developed by themself.
For the game that developed by other developers (Sonic Boom, racing series), they rarely do that.
I don't know why.

I hope not, it be unfair that Sonic Lego ends up just a generic playset while Nintendo get's to have electronics in theres.
If that's the case it's why I think perhaps LEGO isn't the ideal major toy deal for Sonic. As in if Mario has Lego, what if Sonic has Hot Wheels? Imagine if Sonic had an "electronic" Hot Wheels figure.

Used to collect Hot Wheels since my son loved them.
For SEGA related, I have that SEGA series (https://videogamecritic.com/extras/cool/segacars.htm) : Shinobi, JSRF, Space Channel 5, HoTD 3, and Super Monkey Ball.
Never saw Sonic ones.
That would be cool if it exist, especially if it treated different than the rest.

For SEGA related, I have that SEGA series (https://videogamecritic.com/extras/cool/segacars.htm) : Shinobi, JSRF, Space Channel 5, HoTD 3, and Super Monkey Ball.
Never saw Sonic ones.
That would be cool if it exist, especially if it treated different than the rest.
I can imagine a Sonic Hot Wheel figure if done right, though I imagine ti be difficult to make it streamlined for it to work properly. But it would fit well with Sonic's theme of speed and loop-de-loops.
As for how the electronic part works, I dunno. Maybe an app?

The road part is the one to modify with electronic parts,
not the cars.
But speed couldn't be too fast, they had safety issues to consider,
so may be more on loops than on speed.

Well, as much as I think a Sonic LEGO set with electronic minifigure would be cool, I just can't see it happening if Nintendo has the licence for it. But SEGA could probably get away with making an electronic minifigure for another leading toy franchise. Hot Wheels was the first in mind given some of their playsets look like they were designed for rollercoasters and Sonic's zones have rollercoaster like formations.

Also the hot wheels cars could be based on Sonic Racing games,
And since the new Hot Wheels game is a success, it'd be a cool if the have Sonic DLC too...
But I guess it would feel samey with Sonic racing games.

It's due to arrive at some point in the "holiday 2022", so when exactly can we expect the blue blur's next outing?
According to the PlayStation database tracker 'PlayStation Game Size', Sonic's next adventure has been listed for 15th November.

True. I'd rather have a Sonic playset where I can construct the courses however I like like Lego Mario but still have that need for speed Hot Wheels have.

In a way, yes. I mean guns and weapons are obviously not toys. But some could regard certain devices as toys, I'd say it comes down to how much joy one derives from it even if it's non-productive.
For example cameras are used for photography but there are those who simply like taking pictures because it's a fun hobby for them, so that camera would technically be a toy to them.
I guess that technically makes figurines "toys" even if they're just for display, I just can't argue that they are if you don't "play" with them. I's why Elf on a Shelf can go F itself. It's not a toy, it's a scam.
-
That's why some figurines called as "statues",
because they are not meant to play with.
But sometimes those statues are too small,
as small as children's toys.

Yes, thus as statues you can't "play" with them given they're suppose to be decoration. So would that make them toys? Is Elf on a Shelf really a toy?

Rumour said Origins still stucks in development hell.
Hope it get resolved soon.

“Originally it was planned to be released on this year, the 30th anniversary of Sonic, but we have postponed the release for a year in order to further brush up the quality.
Not only for this title, but during the development phase, we have been steadily conducting analysis to improve the quality of the title before release, such as introducing game testing based on external evaluations, and I have a feeling that it will become a good game and have high expectations for it.”

Sonic's forward smash beats basically everything
Can it be defeated by any pair of fighters in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSqzpRfhsyQ
Sonic's forward smash is basically invulnerable.
UR2SLOW previously explored why this phenomenon takes place, and it appears that the hurtbox around Sonic's forward Smash is essentially nonexistent — so the big fist functions like an invincible move without technically being classed as one.
The tests conducted includes sets of Link, Dark Pit, Banjo, Corrin, Ganondorf, Sephiroth, Shulk, Bayonetta, Villager and even Sora. Can any of the duo's best a single hedgehog?

The fact he had the name SONIC in all capitals just tells me he knows full well he regards them as characters and concepts he took for himself, not characters and concepts he claims he has creative rights over which makes him even more of a smarmy git.
The fact "Evil Sonic" and "Anti-Knuckles" is on the list is revolting because that would be the equivilent of me claiming rights to "Evil Mario". Evil Sonic and Anti-Knuckles are just cliché evil-double characters.
Ironically, I was looking forward to Scourge's upcoming comic (https://twitter.com/ScourgeComic/status/1460235434118635522) and was dissapointed it was cancelled due to Anti-Penders backlash. Which means if RUSH! won't make a quality comic for Scourge then Penders will. And knowing how much of a pitiful rat-hearted discharge of a weasel he is he'll probably depict Evil Sonic as his oppinions with Sega.

Legal action is costly for individuals, that's why it's usually only used against a very big corporate, in hoping to get maximum gains that could cover the legal battle cost before. Tantrum is the safe way~

Fans united to press Sega to put Portuguese on Sonic Frontiers
(https://i.ibb.co/yXV4s1r/Sonic-Fans-from-Brazil.png)
Brazilian Sonic The Hedgehog fans are joining forces on social media to deliver a message to Sega’s ears.
The message is clear and very simple: they want the next game in the series, Sonic Frontiers, to have at least PT-BR subtitles. If so, this will be the first blue hedgehog game to have Portuguese subtitles.
Many fans and influencers are turning to the hashtag #SonicFrontiersPTBR to join the discussion on Twitter and the movement, which started this week, is already gaining a lot of traction.

I'm surprised this isn't a thing already.
Don't the brazillians love him there?
Most Brazilian people's first console was Master System
and Sonic was one of the best game on the system.
So I'm sure SEGA knew they loved him or at least had a nostalgia with him.
Kinda weird really that they hadn't put Portuguese language before..
But thankfully SEGA listened to them this time ....
Full List of Language Supported for Sonic Frontiers is Confirmed
Including Brazilian Portuguese Subtitles

Play Sonic on TikTok With This Collaboration Effect
(https://sega.jp/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/220111_1_1.jpg)
TikTok is collaborating with Sega and Dreams Come True on a Sonic the Hedgehog game effect.
If you use the effect, you can use your face to control Sonic as he runs across the screen.
In the background, Dreams Come True’s “Tsugi wa Se~no de! On The Green Hill – Masado & Miwasco Version” plays.
This is a version of “Green Hill Zone” with lyrics.
Here is an example from the official Sega TikTok account:

Something I noticed of Sega now and again, especially IDW Sonic. re-using assets than making exclusives.
Like serously, it's a 2023 calender, can't they just make new exclusive art for it on-off throughout 2022?

They can but the costs would also go up since they had to pay more for the artists,
and the calendar's price would also go up too.
I guess they want to keep the price at reasonable price.

For Sonic fans may be, but they're aiming for general.
For people who recoqnize Sonic (from movie or tv series, but not love him that much)
or parents who thought their kids may like it.
For this kind of people, the price difference matters.

I guess, but it's still an issue I wish Sonic Team would handle with more tact.
For example I regard Sonic Colours and Sonic Lost World as games more catered for the demographic audience (children to teens) than the long term fans (Classic-Dreamcast era fans that remained) Because of this, I feel at odd with these games, me often regarding them the worst modern Sonic games have to offer (post-'06), but I know that's somewhat hypocritical of me because these games were made mostly for younger fans than "all the fans". And thus I resort to the grandpa mindset of "You youngin's should play the games we had if you want quality content" while the younin's just see the Mega Drive and Dreamcast as outdated uncool technology. And it doesn't help with IGN and other reviews that paint these old games badly.
Still, games like Sonic Mania, Generations and even Forces make good "beginners" games for those who never touched a Sonic game before or have little context of the franchise. And while Sonic Origin don't interest me none it will allow those youngin's a platform to play these games on.

Hopefully Sonic Origin has a new content, new playable characters, or ton of unlockables.
If it just like SEGA Ages version, it does feel lacking of reasons to buy the game.
I'm sure old school fans have played Sonic Genesis tetralogy to death and yeah, newer Generation will prefer 3D Sonic and think why would they buy Origin when Frontiers is coming soon.

If Sonic Origins had Sonic World (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Sonic_World) then it would definitely be a selling point for me. But if it's just a standard compilation then, well I already have the games on Steam.
But Sonic Team really should balance it's market for both young and old fans. My Little Pony being a brilliant example of it. When Lauren Faust was hired to make Friendship is Magic, she didn't want to make the show "just for little girls" as expected for MLP. She knew those little girls would encourage their parents or their older brothers to watch the show with them and thus Faust aimed the show for families to enjoy. Because of this mindset she triggered a phenomenon of a MLP TV show that had a demograph that surpassed interest of it's target audience and grew a cult following.
While Hasbro didn't know what to do with this unexpected audience and did try to curb them down a bit, the thing is they were making more profit from the additional older fans than they did from the pocket money and parents interest of their target demograph.
Sonic the Hedgehog has been around since the 90s and have fans that not only grew up with the franchise but have jobs and incomes to the point that a thirty-something year old man buying a Sonic game for himself isn't as weird as a parent buying the game for their kids. But kids usually get games if they can buy them with pocket money or if their parents will buy it for them, in which case it maybe for Birthday or Christmas.
I'm just saying that Sonic Team should strive to balance their demograph for both than just one or the other and like MLP:FiM be of appropriate interest of the young target audience while still be of relevent interest to the older audience.

It's not standard compilation.
It's being remade into widescreen mode, with Tails and Knuckles are playable in all versions.
Sonic CD probably's still the same as Steam version, but Sonic 1,2,3&K is definitely different, more like Whitehead's mobile version of Sonic 1&2.
MLP's cult is kinda different.
I don't see them being rude to other fans like Sonic fans who prefer one game compared to another.
The fans don't fight among themselves.
Thankfully my kids love Sonic so I can just justify myself that I'm buying the game for them, lol.
And seeing their playtime is much more than mine, of course I can tell mysell that excuse.
Of course I can't use that excuse for Yakuza, Persona 5 Strikers, and other mature games.

Wide screen mode would be interesting, but I've played those games over and over that other than being Whitehead's remakes they don't really appeal to me that much.MLP's cult is kinda different.

I've been on Ponychan longer than Segabits forum and I can tell you the Sonic fandom and Bronies have a lot in common, more than some of each sides care to admit. Such as the bronies of /co/, Ponychan and /b/ before /mlp/ came along. And I've met fellow bronies I did not get along with.
Oh, and smut art, a lot of smut art.Thankfully my kids love Sonic so I can just justify myself that I'm buying the game for them, lol.

True but isn't it nice when we get SOnic games that appeal to both young and old? Take Sonic Adventure for example, the misile scene is perhaps my favourite part of the game. Some would perhaps regard it relative to terrorism to todays standards and be offensive to some but it's not like the game has swearing, blood or other mature themes. Sonic Adventure was still a good game for children and teens but not outside of older fans interests who grew up with the Sonic franchise at that point.

Guess I only knew small fraction of them. I'm not a ponychan but most of ponychans that I met on Facebook are nice persons.

Indeed. Both I and my kids love Sonic Adventure so it does appeal to both young and old.
The difference is my kids spent most of their playing time in Chao's Garden.

Old-school Ponychanners are nice but these days Ponychan is... well I won't say at all toxic just not how I remember it. I used to be everywhere on /oat/, now I doubt most are aware I lurk there. I'm just saying that as both a brony and a Sonic fan, I see the common factors. Sonic fans are just as dedicated to Sonic as bronies are to the ponies. Yes there is smut art of ponies which may make them look weird and outcasted to those outsaide the fandom but there's been smut art of Sonic and his friends since Rouge the Bat was introduced. And of course while the fandom is relatively at peace there is still debate and stupidity just as there is with Sonic's fandom. The only stark difference is that SOnic's been around since the 90s.Indeed.

Chao Gardens were a gold mine for Sega and it's foolish of them to abandon them. I bet chao could of been on par with Pokémon if Sega had a well plan market strategy for them, though too late for that now.
But that what made the Sonic Adventure games so great, they had something for everyone than just "Reach the goal and go to next stage" like the Classic-era games had. It was a shame SA2 was more linear than it's prequal and Sonic Heroes just returned to "reach the goal" format. I bet Sonic '06 would of saved the Dreamcast-era gameplay if it wasn't a rushed mess which ended the Dreamcast-era gameplay.

May be that's why we never got SA2-like game anymore, they deemed it as failure since Sonic '06 failed.
Hopefully Sonic Frontiers would change that.

Ben Schwartz teases Colleen O'Shaughnessey's & Idris Elba's "awesome" performance

"We've got Colleen O'Shaughnessey, who was from the video game and played Tails, she plays Tails, Idris Elba's Knuckles, they're both awesome in it and they look awesome. Jim Carrey is incredible in it," he continued.
He then added: "Incredible guest stars. Natasha Rothwell, who's a powerhouse of a comedian, Adam Pally, who worked with (The Afterparty co-star) Sam (Richardson) and who's worked with me before, is in it and incredibly funny in it."

Sonic's Quills Are Staying Short In Frontiers, Some Fans Outraged

Sonic communities on both Twitter and Reddit have been locked in the heated debate for the past two days, with both sides eager for the other one to just stop.
One side wants to see a return of the Generations model, with its long quills and dark blue fur.
The others are fine with sticking to the Forces look, feeling that the naysayers are letting their feelings about the 2017 release cloud their judgement.

The Sonic Lost World PC Mod Has Now Recreated The Legend Of Zelda DLC
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzpvNMKdbBo
That same creator, known as ĐeäTh on their YouTube channel, has now almost finished a mod to complete the PC version with The Legend of Zelda DLC.
The mod of this DLC is set to arrive in mid-February with the developer having painstakingly recreated the stage; it looks like a rather impressive effort.

I honestly thought this DLC complimented the Lost World gameplay better than the main game did. I hope someone makes an extended version of this DLC, or better yet their own mod DLC. I'd probably buy Sonic Lost World for PC if there was more story-driven campaigns for it.

Yeah. As much as I don't like Sonic Lost World, I will admit nerfing Sonic's speed in exchange for parkkour skills does make him good for exploration over travel. I imagine if there ever was a Mario and SOnic crossover game then Sonic's Lost World gameplay would compliment Mario's gameplay.
Not that I want a Sonic and Mario crossover game outside the Olympics.

Sonic the Hedgehog's IDW Series Is Trying To Outdo Archie's Best Arc

In Archie's Sonic the Hedgehog discontinued series, endgame refers to the Operation: EndGame four-issue arc where the traitor Drago the Wolf serves as Sonic's imposter and frames him for killing Princess Sally.
Of course, Surge obviously can't frame IDW's Sonic for murder since she looks nothing like him and is a tenrec, not a hedgehog.
But Dr. Starline does plan on using these imposters against Dr. Eggman much like how Archie's Sonic eventually straight-up murders Dr. Robotnik in Operation: EndGame.

The fact that Starline specified that this super-fast wi-fi was for playing multiplayer games implied that Eggman likes playing with other people.
He probably likes to annihilate them in-game and feel superior to everyone, sure, but that doesn't change the fact that he enjoyed playing with real players.
As such, it confirmed a part of him doesn't want to conquer the whole world and never will.

I don't get it. I mean sure Dr. Eggman being revealed as a gamer I can get, just don't get why that means he doesn't want to conquer the world deep down.If he conquers the world I imagine he will still allow his subjects a degree of freedom as long as they're loyal and devoted to him.

Is Project Sonic '22 another upcomming game for 2022 other than Sonic Frontier or is Sonic '22 is Sonic Frontier? Eitherway it looks like the use of large rings to travel to far off places is becoming canon, something that was only established in the movies.

Starline realizes that deep down Eggman just wanted to play games with Sonic all the time. His games of course.
That's why he upsets when Starline tried to kill Sonic just by try blowing him up from afar.
That's why he only imprisoned Sonic for 6 months in Sonic Forces when he easily could kill him anytime.

No, it's a project series for Year 2022 with Sonic Frontier, Sonic Prime, and Sonic Movie 2 being parts of it, to attract partners for toys, merchandises, and sponsorships.
The first project is releasing offline version of Sonic at Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games (mobile).
Funny thing is that they didn't mention Sonic Origin at all.

Aaah so Project Sonic 2022 refers to the entirety of Sonic's marketing plan throughout 2022. That's good. As I said on SNN if Sonic Team ever decides to remake the Sonic Adventure games, especially with Dreamcast-era voice actors reprising roles, then they'll need production plans to cover development of the games, contracts of voice actors and the extention of work and time they have with Sonic Team as well as marketing and promotion. Especially if a remake of Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 may lead to Sonic Adventure 3.

My thought is like that too. The difference is Joker being too unpredictable.

It will only officially be "Sonic Adventure 3" if it has chao gardens.

Indeed. Even sometimes Tails got annoyed on how unpredictable Sonic was.
It will only officially be "Sonic Adventure 3" if it has chao gardens.

Things like Chao Gardens in Sonic Frontier or Sonic Adventure 3 or "Chao Adventure 3" I can see how it can work if done right.
I talked about it here (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/User_blog:Mystic_Monkey/What_i_would_like_in_an_Adventure_series_remake) and here (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/User_blog:Mystic_Monkey/If_I_remade_Chao_Gardens_(for_Sonic_Adventure)).

Reading your blog post made me remember Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine.
So many SEGA games sitting in Japan,
so if they could rebrand Puyo Puyo into Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine back then,
I'm sure they could rebrand Mushiking, Love and Berry and Dinosaur King into Chao's related game too if Sega wanted.

I agree. In comparison to pokémon which is a game more on the fighting concept, chao could still be about raising your creatures and the use of animals and evolutions to make them more unique. I just think the combat system should be a little more fleshed out. And it doesn't hurt to be flashy as Pokémon was in their combat.
And given those examples you mentioned involved these action cards that can be purchased means more merchandicing to profit from, though I imagine they would use digital cards given it be more cheaper to manufacture and control

Yes, since everything is going digital nowadays,
I think digital cards are understandable.

One of my idea for chao is a new evolution state after Adult called Elder and will allow the chao to take more exotic shapes than it's usual stumpy body shape. Such shapes in mind being mermaid (swim), rabbit (speed), gorilla (power) and feathery (fly).
That way like pokémon, they can have more unique apperances that set them apart but still be recognisable with one another.

That would make more works for the game designer, but I guess that's necessary.
It's a good idea, but I don't like the wold "Elder" for Chao
Calling them "Elder" is kinda make them sound that they outlive Sonic and friends by being old first before them...

Let Sonic Team call 'em whatever they want. "Champions", "Ultimate", "Mega", I don't mind.
It's just when Pokémon came out in 1996 and got it's peak a few months after, Chao came out along with Sonic Adventure in 1999 and I believed if done right they could of at least give... Digimon a run for it's money. I mean I doubt chao would of made a dent to Pokémon sales. Actually saying they might have been better than Digimon would of been a stretch, I mean the anime was really what put Digimon to attention...
My point being is chao could of been big if Sonic Team marketed them right. Pokémon was mostly about raising your monsters for battle, Digimon games actually put effort into the "raising" part of monster care while Sonic Adventure had a more fleshed out system for chao save for combat. Chao could of been a big thing if marketed right.
Kinda like Raving Rabbids, most seem to forget they started off in Rayman party game (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayman_Raving_Rabbids) before becoming their own franchise..

Rabbid's really is a good comparison.
At first I think it's hard to top Pokemon in term of variety
since Pokemon contains many different animals while Chao is just one animal(?).
And then you mentioned Rabbids with basically just one animal and yeah, they're like Chao then.
Rabbid's now even got a movie now,
not just TV series and comic books,
imagine if Chao could accomplish this too someday.

What Pokémon have:
- You raise them specifically for battle.
- You don't really "take care" of them, as in feeding or general health as expected from digital pets.
- Come in a variety of creatures to collect. (I lost count after Gen 2.)
What Digimon (games) have:
- I only played the one game (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digimon_World) but it emphasizes taking care of your Digimon like a digital pet. I remember getting stressed out over getting food and toilet for my Digimon as I travelled through the game, often my Digimon dying.
- Honestly, I can't remember how battles work. I think it was cheering your digimon on to do better attacks or something.
- Comes in a variety of creatures, I dunno how many. "Digivolution" was pretty cool though
What Chao have:
- Like Digimon, you take care of your chao ina digital ept like fashion. But less stressful when it comes to feeding your chao and they don't seem to poop, so more easier to care for.
- Battles were kind of naff. Chao Adventure had a roulette ATE for fights with "Bully Chao" and Chao Karate (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Chao_Karate) was mostly cheering them on with zeal which isn't that different from Chao Races. There wasn't any flashy attacks like Pokémon or Digimon with elemental effects or whatever.
- Due to the metamorphic nature of chao, all chao are born the same (unless specified by the colour and shine of the chao egg) But they can grow and change in variety. They have the ability to take on animal features and change colour and shape depending on their allignment (hero/dark) and stat they excell at (speed, power, fly or swim) they take on a variety of shapes during their evolution.
Chao are already pretty balanced when it comes to variety that is encouraged through TLC of the chao. But one of Pokémon and Digimon's selling points is flashy anime battles. I know Sega made MushiKing or Dinosaur King, but I imagine it's the same division of Sega who made these games whoever they are. I don't see why Sega can't get them to make a chao battle system for Sonic Team that recycles the concept. Yeah it's kinda cheap to recycle it but given DInosaur King and Mushiking arcade games didn't make it to the west means the gameplay will be more fresh to the western audience.Rabbid's now even got a movie now,
not just TV series and comic books,
imagine if Chao could accomplish this too someday.

Yes, taking care of Chao, I don't think I remember doing that on Pokemon.
We got those Dinosaur King and Mushiking arcade games actually back then in my country,
but only few people that play them.
May be because they're still in Japanese (Google Lens wasn't a thing back then).
Love and Berry was more popular, but the ones who played it are mostly girls.
Those games are mostly gone now, but the cards are still available on online marketplace for collectors.

Even smarter than average humans.
He's the only Rabbids that's not annoying so you can guess that Beardie is the main character of the movie.

The full video offers extra details about the Sonic the Hedgehog 3 “Continue – 30th Sessions Version.” Jun Senoue handled the arrangement for it.
(This was one of the first Sega games Senoue composed music for back in the 1990s.)
S.A.M.E. is performing on the track alongside Lyn. It is also a more lengthy take on the tune. It lasts for almost two minutes.

I know there were Dinosaur King trading cards in the west but I don't think they were the same as the ones the Japanese arcades had. I also know that MushiKing and Dinosaur King had the exact same gameplay, using a rock-paper-scissors combat system and the use of barcode cards to play with. I'm not entirely sure how the cards worked though.
But I figured, what if there were "Chao Battle Cards". Each card can only work for chao with specific attributes such as hero/dark or speed/power/fly/swim. Though I imagine it be easier for Sega to sell these battle cards as digital content than store-brought. Chao Adventure 3 can perhaps give the basic Battle Cards for free (or at least sell them with rings or ingame currency) while the more exclusive Chao Battle Cards can be purchased with real money. (Or Red Star Rings which I believe is the mobile Sonic games equivilent of Star Gems.)

So the only way to have a Raving Rabbids movie is to have a rabbid that's not raving. =P
Still ironic that given how popular Rayman was throughout the 90s and that it was he who introduced the Rabbids that they're getting a new movie and not him.

Rock-paper-scissors combat system is still a norm in card games,
so I won't mind if it's still being used.
And Red Star Rings, if SEGA HARDLight is the one who made the game,
guaranteed for sure they'll use them.
Leak does said that SEGA is making Chao mobile game.
It's just still unknown who develop it,
SEGA HARDLight or SOJ Internal Team.

It's also happened quite often wasn't it when side characters become more popular than the main character?
(https://c.tenor.com/azCvjGfh3A4AAAAd/bugs-bunny-porky-pig.gif)
Bugs Bunny is more popular than Porky Pig.
Taz-mania was more popular than Bugs Bunny from some times.
Wolverine and Deadpool are more popular than Cyclops.
Darkseid is more popular than Mr Miracle.
Minions are more popular than Gru.
Woody Woodpecker is more popular than Andy Panda.
Yogi bear is more popular than Huckleberry Hound.
Constantine is more popular than Swamp Thing.
But in term of video games, yes Rabbids & Rayman is the most ironic case.

Rock-paper-scissors combat system is still a norm in card games,
so I won't mind if it's still being used.
And Red Star Rings, if SEGA HARDLight is the one who made the game,
guaranteed for sure they'll use them.
Leak does said that SEGA is making Chao mobile game.
It's just still unknown who develop it,
SEGA HARDLight or SOJ Internal Team.
I'm hoping the game will be like Pokémon Go! or Wizards Unite. Both games published by Niantic who probably provide the satnav program to these games.
I love the idea of "Chao Adventure 3" being a lot like Chao Adventure (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Chao_Adventure) but instead of an auto-scrolling game you have to go out and actually walk around outside in order for your chao to encounter events. It would also be cool if Chao Adventure can have up to two or three chao though I suppose just concentrating on the one chao is fine.It's also happened quite often wasn't it when side characters become more popular than the main character?
(https://c.tenor.com/azCvjGfh3A4AAAAd/bugs-bunny-porky-pig.gif)
Bugs Bunny is more popular than Porky Pig.
Taz-mania was more popular than Bugs Bunny from some times.
Wolverine and Deadpool are more popular than Cyclops.
Darkseid is more popular than Mr Miracle.
Minions are more popular than Gru.
Woody Woodpecker is more popular than Andy Panda.
Yogi bear is more popular than Huckleberry Hound.
Constantine is more popular than Swamp Thing.
But in term of video games, yes Rabbids & Rayman is the most ironic case.
I wonder how Rayman feels being outshined by Rabbids?Puyo ‘n Mean Bean Battle Artwork by ChiliDog (@cd_supercyborg)

I'm glad Sonic made it into Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 but I still think the position should of been for Dr. Eggman on account his skills with Mean Bean Machines.

Happy Lunar New Year!
This is Koha-D, the Representative of SEGA Arcade Music Game Team.
As the New Year has begun, I'd like to wish you a happy lunar new year and comment on two SEGA music games.
🔸 maimai DX International ver.
It’s been 2 years since the maimai DX International ver. started operation, which new version (UNiVERSE) released on January 27. Despite the fact that there are times and areas where stores cannot operate due to the effects of COVID 19, we have been able to achieve a high operation rate, thanks to everyone's enthusiasm.
Thank you very much for your support!
For various reasons, the music, collaborations, and several others have been delayed from the Japanese version, but we are still thinking of some surprises for you, so we would be grateful for your continued support.
🔸 CHUNITHM International ver.
Since CHUNITHM started its operation from the end of 2020, we've received a lot of feedback and we've changed our plans drastically from the original plan, adding songs at a rapid pace to bring it closer to the Japanese version.
Thank you for your support here as well as in maimai DX!
We are now in the final adjustment stage of the version-up to "NEW", which we reported at the end of last year, and we are preparing to provide it with some plans to activate the local player’s community.
For a variety of reasons, it is going to be difficult to make it exactly the same as the Japanese version, but we are working with the people in charge to make it as pleasing to everyone as possible.
We will be making an announcement on the specifics soon, so please look forward to it!
🔹 Lastly, due to the impact of COVID19, it has been difficult to enjoy arcade music games in both Japan and overseas.
I can only express my gratitude to all of you who continue to play our games even under such circumstances.
In order to respond to such enthusiasm, we, the development team, will continue to do our best to provide the best service possible. We would be grateful for your continued support.
We hope you'll continue enjoy maimai DX and CHUNITHM in 2022!
Koha-D / The Representative of SEGA Arcade Music Game Team / February 1, 2022

If it plays like a Pokemon Go then I probably will skip the game.
I don't want to be forced to walk outside to find Chao during this pandemic years.
Covid-19 rate in my country is really high right now.
I wonder how Rayman feels being outshined by Rabbids?
He's a good guy, I think he's gonna chill with it..
I'm glad Sonic made it into Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 but I still think the position should of been for Dr. Eggman on account his skills with Mean Bean Machines.
I was hoping Eggman at least show up as secret boss in PPT2, but considering Sonic didn't have his own story in PPT2 I guess that's really too much asking.

Oh right, I forgot COVID pretty much killed the AR satnav market. The height of Pokémon Go would of probably lasted longer if it were not for quarantine. I mean people still play it just outdoor social video games took a dive when we were encouraged to be morlocks.

Didn't know that was a thing.(https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/232412032173998082/938262729746161765/FKjoRdhXoAUnkDD.png?width=456&height=467)
Okay, so I have a rough idea of how NFTs work and I think he does as well if he plans on profiting from NFTs over buying them which most first-time NFT buyers make the mistake on understanding the value of NFTs and ownership of art and media attached to them.
To sum it up, you don't own the artwork assosiated with the NFT. You're not buying the artwork, you're buying the Non-Fungible Token.
Imagine a blockchain like an assembly hall filled with chairs with various pictures stuck to them (most of those pictures being ugly apes). An NFT is the right to sit on one of these chairs. You don't own the chair because it's digital, you don't own the picture or media attached to it because that's purely to differate it (therefore you cna use stolen artwork to sell NFTs but given it's not the artwork for sale but the NFTs means such loophole can be exploited. I wouldn't be surprise if Penders is using old Archie Sonic comic pictures).
That's why those ugly apes are assossiated with NFTs. Those ape pictures were made with a random generator and used solely to assossiate with specific NFTs.
There are those who buy NFTs because they foolishly believe they're buying the rights and ownership of the picture attached to them. They are not.
There are those who buy NFTs because depending on where the chair is set in the assembly hall (like chair #1 being more valuble than chair #2) makes them feel more privilege. Or buying more NFTs make them feel even more privileged.
In truth, NFTs are just digital recipts for something as useless as a virtual chair. NFTs are as valuble as the seller makes them out to be.
So in short, Penders is getting scammed here, it's likely he knows how NFTs work and is trying to get in on the scam himself.

May be he just jump in because NFT has money potential.
Just a potential of course,
I'm not sure there will be Sonic fans who's ready to throw $100 just for that.
If he's dragged back into court because of his NFTs,
he'd probably love that.
It gave him another chance to show that he is the true owner.

NFTs do have money potential, thing is though it's still a scam. It's the equivilent of The Emperor's New Clothes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Emperor%27s_New_Clothes). The conmen/tailours convinced the king that the clothes are made of some special fabric and the king is too embarrased to admit (or stupid to realise) there is nothing there. So he spends a lot of money on something he was told was super-valuble when really it was nothing.

that's good to hear. I understand why NFTs may look like an aatractive business venture to other gaming companies and studios but it really is buying nothing with crypto currency.
Like, I sort of understand that buying AC Tickets on PSO2 and Red Rings on Sonic mobile games is buying digital content that will remain yours as long as the servers run, therefore you don't really own your purchase. But at least AC-products in PSO2 are straight forward about it than NFT crap.
