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.

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!

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)

Quote
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)

Quote
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.

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

Quote
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)

Quote
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.

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.

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.

"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."

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?

The Flash (Comic) introduces Krakkl, a Sonic-inspired character

Besides his incredible speed, Krakkl has shades of blue on his body and even has Sonic-like spikey tails for hair.
Sonic the Hedgehog is one of gaming's most recognizable and popular characters.
Add to this Sonic's super-speed, and there's no wonder why a version of him pops up in a Flash comic.

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)

Quote
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)

Quote
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.

Interview with Sonic Team’s Takashi Iizuka

Quote
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.

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.

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.

Sonic Forces' "The Hall of Champions" No More

Quote
Over the past Seasons, The Hall of Champions has provided many fun challenges but all good things must come to an end.
December 1st’s Hall of Champions was the final one!
It’s been great to see players climbing the ranks and getting involved so far but we’re now looking into improving other areas of the game and making exciting changes for 2021 and beyond.
To mark the end, a farewell FREE gift will be available in-game soon!

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.
Back in June, a dad discovered his 11-year-old daughter spent almost $6,000 on Roblox.
There was also a teen who "unknowingly" spent $8,000 on one of the FIFA games, and another 11-year-old who blew almost $7,500 on microtransactions over two weeks.

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.

Jim Carrey just won a 'best villain' Critics Choice Award for the Sonic movie

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!

Larry King's Sonic The Hedgehog impression will live on forever in our hearts

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hd3_k-OF_aU

Quote
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: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.

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.

This storyline is too deep for a mobile game, lol.
But it's an interesting one.
It could explain lot of same characters with different version.
Guess it could be applied to Sonic Dash too.

Contrary to popular belief, nobody at Sonic Team ever used the name ‘Mr. Needlemouse’

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’).

Thanks to Tectoy, Sega master System is the most popular console in Brazil, even until now.
So I guess Sonic being popular in Brazil is the caused effect.

Damn, I kinda late to the party.
The logo is kinda strange.
Why Sonic's fonts looks like it's shattered.
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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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 : ....

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.

"Shortly after that, the incoming calls definitely increased from studios [and] networks saying, 'Hey, whaddya got next?'"

Since it's on the reputable magazine, most likely it's true.

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.

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.

32 pages of the game detailed !
Man, you really sure are dedicated to make this.
It's still WIP but yes. Wouldn't it be fun to have a tabletop roleplay session for Sonic fans? Something with all the structure and pace of a usual TTRPG, but still feels accurate and to a degree fast pace as a Sonic game!

Metacritic has released their list of the publishers with the highest average metascore for games released in 2020, and it comes at no surprise that SEGA is NUMBER ONE.
We here at SEGAbits have seen SEGA’s 2020 output and can easily see why they’d take the top spot. Release good games, get good results!

AoSTH and Boom may be,
but I doubt for SatAM since SEGA ditched all SatAM related (that explored a lot by Archie Comics) in IDW Comic version.
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)

Quote
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.

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.

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.

Quote
PewDiePie has been trending on Twitter all morning, but not as much as Mario and Sonic.
A random Sonic and Mario video dancing to Billie Jean by Michael Jackson have gone viral over on the social media platform, which can't take its eyes off the moves of Sonic, and especially Mario.

PC modders cannot be kept down forever (hat-tip KayFiOS), and a modder with a cheery tag of 'ĐeäTh' has recreated the Yoshi bonus level in the PC version, throwing in multiplayer as a little bonus.
It looks like quite an impressive effort.

Put simply, it’s a more basic version of Sonic Drift where players raced against each other in the S1 Grand Prix mode via network connectivity on Sonic Cafe.
When you’re tired of being pitted against each other, players can also race against the best times on the network in a Time Attack mode.
High scores were uploaded to the Cafe for others players to see and race against.

Say hello to Bongo, the monkey mascot of Danimals, a brand of yoghurt aimed at young kids.
He's coming to Sonic Dash thanks to a promotion involving special Danimals products, including yoghurt pouches and smoothies.
By purchasing these products, players can unlock Bongo as a playable character in the game; simply scan the QR code on the back of the packs to download Sonic Dash and then complete the tutorial level, and all kinds of simian-related tomfoolery can be yours.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 movie plot synopsis released

(http://segabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/EzdA3IqX0Awc_lo-750x500.jpg)

Quote
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.

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)

Quote
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.

SMT Liberation DX2 Adds Sonic as a ‘Demon’

(https://sega.jp/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/210625_2_0.jpg)

Quote
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.

With the addition of infinite lives it kind of makes Tails Saves sort of reduntant. Like the only places I imagine where Tails Saves would be useful would be in places where I imagine it be useful would be Asteroid Coaster but I can't see much platform where Tails can place Sonic if he falls.

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.

Well, I bought Minecraft three times eventough I rarely touched them.
Why? Because my kids asked for it.

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.

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

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.

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.
Title: Re: Sonic The Hedgehog - A Little Ball of Energy in an Extremely Handsome Package
Post by: Mystic Monkey on August 17, 2021, 07:29:08 pm
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

Quote
"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.

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.

(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.

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.

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."

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.

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)

Quote
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.

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.

"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."

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.

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.

That's kinda hard since Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games is best-selling gaming character cross-over franchise ever.

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.

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.

I believe same things happened for Hatsune Miku: Project Diva.
May be Crypton Future Media doesn't want their beloved mascot, Hatsune Miku, could easily be modded into nude version or something like that.

Call them conservative or over protective, but that's how Japanese-centric companies are.
Even magazine wouldn't dare to show his face if they haven't got permission from his talent agency :

Making wrong decision ... and somehow went into financial trouble again.
May be.

I never experience Vinyl, they're too expensive in my country back then. We always used cassette players to listened songs when we were a kid. After moving to Audio CDs, dunno what happened to to the old cassette player that we had.

Growing up we had a 80s record player and we played cassette tapes. My mother brought me Harry Potter audiobooks on tapes. It's just not Harry Potter without Stephen Fry reading them.

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.

For money definitely.
Because true parents wouldn't care about the money.
If his kid really got molested by guy A for example, he'd prefer that guy A went in jail for justice.

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.

As for me ... I already finished the game, Lol.
Even before the patch came up.
Never encountered any glitches and bugs, but I was playing in handheld mode all the time.
The game's sure looks pretty in handheld mode.

Not gonna touch it again for a while though.
I'm playing Warioware Get It Together now...

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.

Youtube videos that share the glitches were put in the articles of gamesites,
which means more views for them and free publication for their youtube account.
They'll be motivated to do that again when new Sonic games come out later.

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.

Probably the one like Jet the Hawk, Mighty Armadillo, and also the whole gang of Chaotix.
The one who loves challenge.

IMO DS version has better story than Wii version.

Probably the one like Jet the Hawk, Mighty Armadillo, and also the whole gang of Chaotix.
The one who loves challenge.

Btw... in the DS version, almost all Sonic's friends came to the amusement park, not just Sonic and Tails.
IMO DS version has better story than Wii version.

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.

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: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.

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."

RUMOR: Is the Sonic Balloon Returning to Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade This Year?

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.

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.

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.

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!

Additional changes:
- boss music (lower volume of some notes at the end of the song)
- Put back the waves on water of Labyrinth. I didn't recognize the tiles and removed them earlier. Miraculously they did not take much space and everything still fits with them, phew!
- fixed 2 pixel in water of greenhill act 2
- trees in Marble should look ok-ish
- the new fire in marble zone seemed to go down, instead of up. So i had to swap red and yellow to fix it .

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: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.)

They could... but these days Tyson Hesse and Yukio Kusomoto make the animations to promote Sonic games. While they're not bad, they're not as quality as Night of the Werehog.

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.

(https://c.tenor.com/h28GNQkLWtgAAAAC/sonic-sonic-x.gif)
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.

Post by: Berto on October 16, 2021, 02:08:09 am
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?

Post by: Mystic Monkey on October 16, 2021, 08:42:18 am
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.

Sonic Mania 2 Is Said to Have Been Scrapped Internally at Sega

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.

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.

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.

Well, I told SNN about the Sonic Mania 2 thing and they said Zippo isn't a credible source due to leaks that turned out to be fibs.

I see. And I'm already good here, no need to mention me, but it's okay to do it too.
Well.. Rumor is what it is ... just rumor.
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.

The current Hard Boiled Heavies were already interesting enough for me,

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.

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.

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.

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)

Quote
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.

Not into Monster Hunter... but I might get it now.

It's definitely inspired by the original Phantasy Star Online.
The difference that it could take hours just to kill one monster.  ;-D

Looking at gameplay trailers, it does remind me of PSO as well as Shadow of Colossus. And a bit of Final Fantasy MMOG.

Sonic The Hedgehog 2 blew away the competition when it launched in the West 29 years ago today!

The new 2-player versus mode used some interlacing graphical trickery to bump up the game’s resolution to 320x448 pixels!

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)

Quote
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.

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.

It's open-zone, according to SEGA.
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.

Eeh sort of, I mean the stages in Sonic '06 were still rather linear but I see your point.

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.

Idris Elba had a lot of questions about Knuckles’ motivations in Sonic 2
The Suicide Squad actor is taking this seriously, says director Jeff Fowler

“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.”

Persona 5 Singer Lyn Sings Sonic Adventure 2's 'Escape from the City'

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-SSsThzjAI

Quote
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.

It's controller for Switch...
Base Switch is basically just a tablet..
with two joycons attached in left and right of the tablet as attachable controllers.
This Hori Sonic Split Pad Pro is just replacing those two joycons with cooler looking ones.

I see, still not that much of an incentive for me to get a Switch though.

Maybe if the Switch had Sonic exclusives I'd keel.

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:

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: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.

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.

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.

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.

Picture attachment in this forum is not working,
usually I uploaded them in IMGBB or Discord or Tumblr first,
then post the pic link here.
I might post a picture once I get more substance to it. So far I made a fireplace and dwelling. While at first glance it may look like a generic living room but it actually uses textures from Twinkle Park and Station Square hotel.
LEGO Ideas’ Sonic the Hedgehog set reportedly leaked ahead of official release

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

Given I have a special day on wednesday, it would be nice if I can find an audio clip of Ryan Drummond or at least Roger Craig Smith giving out Birthday wishes/message to anonymous fans in their Sonic voice.

I never heard Sonic said that to fans.
I remember he said Happy Birthday to Destructoid,
but that was a joke.

“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

Quote
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)

Quote
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.

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 ....

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

"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.

It's toxic way of thinking.
Sonic Team: Let's make another Sonic game with gameplay like from the Dreamcast-era.
Sega: Will you guys hurry up? It's nearing the holidays and we got to release it NOW!
Sonic Team: But the games not properly balanced and riddled with bugs, we're just not ready!
*Sega releases the game anyway*
Sega: Well the game was a hated mess. I guess fans didn't like the Dreamcast-era gameplay after all.
Sonic Team: Or they just didn't like the game.
Sega: Well regardless, let's move onto boosting to make up for how slow Sonic was and never look back.

They don't look the same to me given I can tell the Sonic on the right has shorter quills and I kinda prefer it over the Sonic on the right. But yeah, I don't see the outrage given it's not that different and it's still Sonic.

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.

Quote
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 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. Or the very least if robotomy treatment is mandatory for all then even as robots they're still allowed some degree of their own time to play and have fun or else what's the point in all those amusement parks that Dr. Eggman likes to set up?
SEGA has Announced Project Sonic '22

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.

It is likely Dr. Eggman has some sort of Joker-like facination on Sonic that prevents him from being efficient at his objectives.

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.

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:
What Digimon (games) have:
What Chao have:
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.

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.

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.

So it's more like Digimon than Pokemon.
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.

Rabbids are so annoying, but even I didn't know they were getting a movie. How can you even put a story to obnoxious screaming rabbits?

They had this one Rabbids character that's a genius, named Beardie,
who's definitely different than his stupid peers.
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.

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.)

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?

Taz-mania was more popular than Bugs Bunny from some times.

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?

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

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.

I hope satnav AR games would recover. These games were ideal to encourage the average couch-potato gamer to actually get out for some fresh air and walking for a change.

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.

Ken Penders just wants to scam us.

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.

Still, that could be a temporary decision.
If many other publishers made money from it, they'll soon join too.

Even Nintendo’s now interested in NFTs too : ‘We feel the potential in this area’

The suspect threatened a bank employee with a hammer and demanded money, but eventually gave up and ran away on foot – presumably as fast as Sonic himself, because he's still currently at large, despite DeLand PD, Volusia Sheriff’s Office and Air One participating in a search.

I rememebr the day Sonic moved onto gameCube. A part of me felt a sense of "defeat". I mean I believe the Dreamcast was a great console! But the problem was it was released too early when Sega could of spent more time polishing it. The Dreamcast was released in 1998 while GameCube came out in 2000 and XBox and PS2 2001 which the way I see it people turned their interest in a choice of three new things than just the one decent console.

While you could argue that spec-wise Dreamcast was inferior to the GameGube, the GameCube was also inferior to the XBox and PS2 but regardless the GameCube still had a great market against it's new competitors while Dreamcast just fizzled out.

We all agree that Sega sticking to video games is a good marketing decision. More platforms means more availability to the game. But still having the latest Sega console was something to take pride in.

Still, with Sonic 2 (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Sonic_the_Hedgehog_2_(film)) and Mario's movie (https://www.mariowiki.com/Untitled_Mario_film) hitting cinema this year we might be met with a rekindled rivalry... though given Sonic's movie will be released in March-April and Mario's movie in December it probably be like how GameCube showed up later to steal dreamcast's thunder.

Only after few days I've realized how bad SEGA's condition at that time.
Dreamcast is a money-losing console. The more they sell Dreamcast, the more money lost from them. 
It made more sense they chose the third party road. But part of me wish they had not.

Of course not. Nintendo isn't competing with SEGA anymore at that time.
Their competitor was Sony with PS1 and PS2,
but then finally they succeeded to surpass PS3 with the phenomenal Nintendo Wii.
That's the real party.

I don't hate this. But I still think they should consider a Sega Cinematic Universe.

Take Captain America or Iron-Man for example. Those two were practically the flag ship series of the MCU. Now that they're dead and gone... people still want more MCU! Going as far as Eternals or No Way Home.

Not saying they should consider killing off Sonic, just building up a Sega Cinematic Universe would mean both fresh content for Sega to market off and continuation for the Sonic movies through other movies.

The fact Wachowski's world (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Earth_(Paramount)) is both a lot like our Earth and the use of rings (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Ring_(Paramount)) for quick and easy intergalactic access to other worlds in the universe just opens up a lot of possibilities on how other Sega-Paramount movies can interconnect with one another. And that is if they even want to bother with those connections and just make continuity-enclosed movies anyway.

It could happen if many fans want it enough..
Just like when they want Sonic movie re-design.
But so far I never heard that kind of hashtag on Twitter or Facebook.

I just got mixed feelings about a TV series based on the Sonic movies. Don't get me wrong I would love to see what Tom and Sonic get up to on their down time... but given Knuckles is the only announced character for the TV series it's believe the show will be for Knuckles and I'm like "I'm all for spin-off shows for side characters but Marvel Cinematic Universe didn't do that until Phase 2!"

I also have my concerns on what will happen once Sega and Paramount "burn out" with Sonic's film series. Like what happened to Indiana Jones, Pirates of the Carrabean and Resident Evil films. This is why I go on about a "Sega Cinematic Universe" Sonic films are the basket with all the eggs in it when Sega should consider turning other Classic-era game franchises into more baskets to carry those eggs in.

Strike when iron's hot.
Sonic is gonna popular this year thanks to Sonic 2 movie, Sonic Prime, and Sonic Frontiers.
There's no guarantee that it's gonna be like this two years for now,
so It'd make sense to go full power right now,
That's what Project Sonic 2022's goal  is.

And about why pick Knuckles...
TV series is very limited on budget too, that's why they usually pick a character that's not main character
It would be too expensive to make Iron Man or Captain America TV series with Robert Downey Jr or Chris Evan.
That's why they chose Loki, Hawkeye, and Falcon & Winter Soldier for TV series,
and even that's still expensive as hell.
It's a risque bet.

The fact they are striking the iron because "There's no guarantee that it's gonna be like this two years for now" just seems a bit wreckless when they could take actions to assure guarantee the iron remains white hot for that long. As a Sonic fan, I want the movie franchise to succeed and last long. But I'm concerned that the moment the movie franchise is exhausted for all it's worth it'll just be abandoned like Sonic Boom was.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdmYFyC0Aes

This is why I go on about "Sega Cinematic Universe", ways to keep the Sonic films going even after the Sonic films for a long time afterwards.

Sonic Boom wasn't supported by good games, that's why the franchise was destined to fail.
Sonic Frontiers on the other hand .... well, we still don't know yet.

The licencing can be hammered out and Jeff Fowler doesn't have to direct all of them. All the MArvel films are not directed but Kevin Feige (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Feige) produced them all. So I imagine it would be Neil H. Moritz (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neal_H._Moritz) or Takeshi Ito to take up the job of producting a Sega Cinematic Universe. That is, if they ever decided on one.

We are talking about Mega Ultra Corporation DISNEY here.

Spider-Man's movie right belongs to Sony and Hulk belongs to Universal Pictures.
In the past they wouldn't let their character's used outside of their own made movie,
but somehow Marvel/Disney could make a deal with them.

True, but cinematic universes are still possible... sorta. I mean take Universal Studios for example, they made monster movies based on dracula, Frankenstein and Wolfman and decided to make crossovers with these movies making it an early example of a shared cinematic universe. SOmething I imagine Sega Cinematic Universe can do.

Then Marvel and DC made their own cinematic universes... which inspired Universal Studio to make their own cinematic universe called "Dark Universe" but they were so ham-fisted about it with The Mummy that they screwed it up royally.

Seriously, all Universal Studios had to do was to get Stephen Sommers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Sommers) to make a crossover movie with Brendan Fraser (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brendan_Fraser) as Rick O'Connell (https://mummy.fandom.com/wiki/Richard_%22Rick%22_O%27Connell) and Hugh Jackman (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh_Jackman) as Gabriel Van Helsing (https://vanhelsingmovie.fandom.com/wiki/Gabriel_Van_Helsing). Or let Richard Roxburgh (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Roxburgh) have his own spin-off with Dracula (https://vanhelsingmovie.fandom.com/wiki/Count_Dracula).
Sure Stephen Sommers Classic Monster movies aren't "scary", but his take on The Mummy was better than the remake.

Well... Universal Studios are movie makers anyway, it made sense for them to build Cinematic Universe.
Just like WB building DCEU and Disney building MCU.
I think if Sega Cinematic Universe would happen, it would be more on Paramount than SEGA.

Changes:
- Sonic only needs to collect 3 flickies instead of 5 to open portals!
- All bosses have three health points and even Doctor Robotnik has three phases
- Sonic can enter the final level without collecting diamonds, and Dr. Robotnik will tell him anyway “Prepare to fight the final weapon.”!

Sonic Forces -  A small update on cheater reports

Hi everyone! A small update on cheater reports 📝

Whenever you encounter a cheater, please check if they have a randomized (generic) name. Such include any randomly generated name you get when clicking ‘Randomize 🎲’ on your in-game name editing tab (ex. Sweet Worm, Lively Echidna, Cool Slug, Flappy Bird, etc).

We heavily encourage you to record your races when going against cheaters with randomized names. Some legitimate players could be unfairly flagged as cheaters and developers need video evidence for such players. If the cheater is currently in the top 200 Global Leaderboard, you can instead send screenshot evidence. But do remember that video evidence is the most efficient way and gets cheaters banned faster.

Thank you!

Paramount postpones Sonic the Hedgehog 2 release in Russia

(https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/232412032173998082/948364329395314728/FB_IMG_1646177859745.jpg?width=595&height=595)

Quote
The offensive drew widespread condemnation from the international community. Paramount’s competitors, Walt Disney, Warner Bros. and Sony Pictures all announced plans earlier this week to pause theatrical distribution in Russia.
Paramount gave no word about a new release window, though the company said they will continue to “monitor the situation.”

I've heard of this and honestly, I find it kind of unfair and pointless.

Not all Russians are pro-war, there has been large protest groups in Moscow calling out against Putin's decisions, with some Russins wanting Putin put out. Of course, their protests are in absolute vein given the only attention Putin is giving them is the police to arrest them.

Why should Putin care for Sonic's upcoming movie? Maybe he will watch it on KimCartoon while he's plowing Kyiv.

You're right. Also I heard Nintendo closes Russian e-shop too.
Putin and the Russian leaders don't play games and don't watch movies,
it won't do them any justice.
Meanwhile those movie-goers and gamers who didn't support Putin have to be punished for something their leaders do.

I think SEGA's approach was better...
Instead of blocking something,
they open donation to a Ukrainian focused humanitarian charity.

That is a little bit better. Hopefully those Russian citizens have good VPNs to watch movies and play games with. Yeah it's sorta piriting but it's not like Nintendo or cinema is giving them a choice.

If she showed up again in second movie, even as short as Thanos' cameo in Avengers, she could be.
If she didn't, the movie maker probably already forgot about her or not having interest in her again.

Nowadays when SEGA mentioned Sonic Forces they refer to this :

Not this :

Yep, the mobile version (previously known as Sonic Forces: Speed Battle),
not the console/PC version.
May be because the mobile version has more good reviews than the console/PC version.
Also because the game and the community is still pretty much alive.

Early Knuckles the Echidna art and details emerge from newly uncovered internal document

(http://segabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/IMG_3399.jpg)

Quote
The document is chock full of interesting tidbits, including a humorous placeholder for his name which is literally “(Name)”.
Also, it is stated that Knuckles crates a whirlwind to knock down walls. Of course, in the final game he just sort of walks into walls and “punches” them.
But this ability DOES appear in the Sonic 3 Happy Meal which has the Knuckles toy spinning in a dust cloud. Also, Espio does eventually have such abilities.
Read the document for yourself here ...

Ian Flynn Interview : On Working With Artists on Comics, On the Enduring Appeal of Sonic, and On Working With IDW Working With Sega

Quote
Q : Would you ever want to see a full-on Sonic comic video game?
Ian Flynn : Yes and no? Yes, because again, that would be just super freaking cool.
Like if they adapted any of the arcs that we've done into a game, that would be crazy awesome.
But I don't know how well some of them would translate versus others because with comics, what you have is the story as the main driving force, the narrative is what carries you from month to month. And you can tell your stories in these episodic formats.

If you saw our Knuckles news, we’ve got more! In sharing the Knuckles document, a discussion within a private Facebook group led to a mention of an eBay seller in possession of SEGA Technical Institute documents.
The documents are being sold for (in my opinion) obscene amounts and it just goes to show the difference between an archivist and a collector.
Some real cool stuff is being revealed that has been literally sitting on people’s shelves for years!

Microsoft has tried hard to avoid using the word "furry" here. Instead, these special edition controllers have "textured coatings reminiscent of the 'bristly' texture of hedgehogs in the wild", apparently.
The controllers come in Sonic Blue and Knuckles Red, presumably not like the hedgehogs Microsoft has been stroking lately.

Sonic is the Elden Ring PVP king, and only one thing can stop him
I mean, Sonic is a glutton for rings


(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FOc6LZmXsAAEH1R?format=jpg&name=small)

Quote
For the uninitiated, Elden Ring has an online player-versus-player component. You're able to invade other people's worlds and engage in fisticuffs. Defeat them and you'll earn runes that help you level up, or Rune Arcs that act as buffs.
As with all online competitive multiplayer things, metas emerge. People find the optimal concoction of clothes and weaponry that'll ensure they have the best chance of winning. And it turns out that it's Sonic The Hedgehog who's earned that crown in Elden Ring.

Minecraft Sonic DLC Getting New Content April 5th

(https://c.tenor.com/R1To-ag74H0AAAAC/sonic-minecraft.gif)

Quote
On top of the existing player and world skins, the update will add six additional skins, and a new challenge in the Labyrinth Zone section.
We don’t have any details on what these are, but considering the promotion aligns with the release of Paramount’s Sonic 2 movie, was announced alongside a Sonic 2 movie contest, and highlights a level motif that has become rather important to the Sonic 2 movie, it’s probably safe to say that the new skins and challenge will have something to do with the Sonic 2 movie.

Sonic Origins Update Revealed by Insider

(http://segabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/sonic2-hiddenpalacezone3-11.jpg)

Quote
The report notes that the title's development team could be counted "with two hands".
To go along with this, work on Sonic Origins was previously said to be a "total mess," and was occasionally stilted. However, development is said to now be going more smoothly.
As for what the collection itself will look like, the version of Sonic 3 that is going to be included in Origins is described as a complete remake.

That would be a spoiler if it's true.
Also Japanese Sonic voice actor Junichi Kanemaru posted a tweet revealing that the voice you can hear was Amy Rose, although the tweet has since been deleted.
And while there's a new female character, if the leak's supposed to be true, it would be a ghost, not human.
Still so many fan arts of her appearing in just two days after the video, so she does have a charm for a main character.

That would be a spoiler if it's true.
Also Japanese Sonic voice actor Junichi Kanemaru posted a tweet revealing that the voice you can hear was Amy Rose, although the tweet has since been deleted.
And while there's a new female character, if the leak's supposed to be true, it would be a ghost, not human.
Still so many fan arts of her appearing in just two days after the video, so she does have a charm for a main character.
I remember when the Frontiers teaser was announced, XBox had subtitles on theirs which addressed the voie as Amy as well. Most fans pressumed it was simply a mistake on XBox's part.

Since SEGA themself didn't say anything about this, it's still could be anyone.

Sonic the Hedgehog Movies Won't Always Follow the Order of the Games

"It's going to be a little bit of a cherry picking, a little bit of a melting pot," Fowler recently told IGN.
"There's so much great, inspiring imagery to pull from the 30 years of games.
So if we didn't get it in one film, there's always the chance that we'll revisit it somewhere else."

If it has the same name with the city in L. Frank Baum's Wizard of Oz book (which was my favorite book when I was still in school, that and Around the World in 80 days), it's probably coincidental, since Sonic universe love to use the world Emerald : Emerald Hill, Emerald Coast, Emerald Town.

I doubt the Candy Crush players watched or even interested in that movie.

The cherry blossom season has finally arrived! The Sonic team's social media admins have partnered with Sonic and the gang to catch stunning views of the spring petals♪
Sonic and friends will be taking turns introducing Japan's cherry blossom spots one by one✨

Spot number 2: Meguro River Cherry Blossoms with Tails. Meguro River is one of the best spots to see the cherry blossoms in Tokyo🌸
On sunny days, admire the sunlight that shines through the line of cherry blossom trees that envelop the river. At nightfall, gaze upon the reflection of the illuminating cherry blossoms on the water's surface, which creates an enchanting space🌠
Tails is, of course, enjoying the view from up above☺️

Cherry Blossoms are my favourite kind of trees. We had them in my old hometown, and where I currently live the old church has a cherry blossom tree. I like them because I find it refreshing to see a tree that's a vibrant and different colour expected from a tree.

That's cool. My country's tropical climate isn't suited for cherry trees so we rarely got them here.

I can't play Minecraft because Windows brought the rights from Mojang Studios and now the Mojang accounts are still being transfered to Microsoft accounts.

So it's either that or I buy the game again, which I'd rather not.

Who is your favorite Sonic the Hedgehog character other than Sonic?
Iizuka: It would have to be Shadow. One reason why I have this affinity is probably because I helped create and form the character, but I also really like his backstory as a dark hero.

Nishiyama: Back before I joined Sega and was playing Sonic games I would have to say Knuckles from Sonic 3. I liked the mysterious background, how he was all alone guarding the Master Emerald. When I joined the team I helped create Shadow, so he is another character I really like.

Hoshino: I think the passion Dr. Eggman has for constantly creating things no matter what challenged he faces is amazing. I really wonder how many hours he works every day to make all that stuff?

Uekawa: I am one of those people who really like Big the Cat. I appreciate his casual and relaxed attitude towards a slow life, which is in contrast to Sonic who is always so busy.

Senoue: Shadow. Part of the reason why is because I was a part of the team that created him, but I also like his dialogue (especially in Japanese), as well as the color combination of black and red.

Yeah, unless if it's olympic games series, it'll most likely be speedruns.
I wonder if Sonic Frontiers would be covered in this.

The cherry blossom season has finally arrived! The Sonic team's social media admins have partnered with Sonic and the gang to catch stunning views of the spring petals♪
Sonic and friends will be taking turns introducing Japan's cherry blossom spots one by one✨

Spot number 4: Ueno Park Cherry Blossoms with Doctor Eggman🏞
Ueno Park has been a beloved spot for the cherry blossoms since the Edo Period. Inside the park, you can find around 800 cherry blossom trees adorning Sakura-dori during spring. The park is also frequently featured on national news during this time of year for its magnificence and has become a well-known cherry blossom viewing spot🌸
Dr. Eggman also seems to be content with the spring petals' beauty😎

SEGA only said they did not limit themselves so they are open to involve new areas such as cloud gaming and NFT.
I think it's meant that SEGA is still looking into it, but still they're not doing it anytime soon.
More like if every other game companies doing it, SEGA will be ready to do it too.

Sonic the Hedgehog gets his own music-based Wordle clone

(https://c.tenor.com/PqETWLNorPkAAAAd/sonic-sonic-the-hedgehog.gif)

Quote
Heardle is a musical variation of Wordle. Each day, players try to guess the daily song in the shortest amount of time possible after hearing a short snippet of its intro.
In the regular version of Heardle, players have to guess the song within 16 seconds and you can only skip forward a few times.
In Sonic Heardle, you can skipahead by 1.5 seconds with each try.

Not finding any toxic things so far.

Sonic is popular right now due to its successful movie sequel, so they put him anywhere (Minecraft, Roblox, Candy Crush, McD) to give him push for more visibility.

But yeah, Frontiers better be more fun than this free to play sims.

No Sonic World (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Sonic_World) from Jam... I sleep.

Probably SEGA has already lost source code for it.
Just like they lost source codes for many other Saturn games including Panzer Dragoon series.

Sonic Speed Simulator: How to get Tails and where to find

(https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/756503521498759318/966163913081225246/Tails_Roblox.png?width=742&height=420)

Once you have reached Emerald Hill, you will be able to find and get Tails in Sonic Speed Simulator by leaping onto jump pads found on a large wooden structure.
These jump pads will take you on top of some floating blocks of grass. Jump across them to the next jump pad found on floating pillars of earth and run through the grey spiral bridge to then run across a speed boost ramp.
This will take you to the Tails card. All you need to do then is collect it and change character.

Sonic the Hedgehog UNO Card Game Coming in May 2022

(https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/756503521498759318/966154971294871602/Sonic_UNO.jpg)

Quote
It's the UNO matching card game everyone knows and loves but featuring graphics from the video game Sonic the Hedgehog. Players still race to get rid of all their cards by matching color, number and symbol, but when someone plays a Wild Victory Lap Card, all other players must draw one card! And when a player is down to one card, they can't forget to shout, "UNO!"
Makes a great gift for card game lovers and Sonic the Hedgehog fans ages 7 years and older.

Really? I surfed few times with my kid's account and found it's more like kids community which doesn't appeal me.
Not finding any toxic things so far.
Also about that money thing? Nah.. My kids could do just fine without spending robux.
Well, not Toxic just... I dunno too modern-glam for my taste or however you describe it. "Yeezy" or "Drip" or whatever.

I'm all for that. I doubt Sonic Team will listen to the ramblings of some guy on the internet but I think they should consider making a "side-game" attached to Sonic Frontier. Just as Secret Rings had Party Mode or Shadow's game had competitive matches.

The side-game should be an MMO for Avatars in style of PSO2 games. This side-game can still be built around the main games programming and all that and doesn't have to intervene with the main game, just as you said in the Dreamcast thread (http://segabits.com/forums/index.php?topic=3954.msg103490#msg103490), Sega are learning from Fortnite that customization and social interactions are what makes games trend. I mean, even I figured that out since mid-20'00.
Probably SEGA has already lost source code for it.
Just like they lost source codes for many other Saturn games including Panzer Dragoon series.
Then just rebuild it! If a single guy can remake most of it in Unity (http://y2u.be/7oLgTlMPP-E), so can Sonic Team.

They already did many online games (Yakuza Online, Derby Owners Club, PSO2, Initial D, maimai, etc) and have community for them ... but so far ONLY in Japan.
They don't have resources or partner to do those globally ... at least until last year when Microsoft Corp. came in and closed the deal with SEGA so that SEGA could use their Azure cloud platform for global release of their new online games.

Problem is Sonic Frontiers was already developed before the deal so it less likely to use Azure cloud platform.

Then just rebuild it! If a single guy can remake most of it in Unity, so can Sonic Team.

Yes, but I heard there are islands (Menu Island, Music Island, Gallery Island, etc) in Sonic Origins so could it be that it was inspired by Sonic Jam Word Hub?

Dang... this is becoming tempted to get Roblox over... but I heard you need "Robux" to play this Speed Simulator so why bother?

No man, the speed simulator is free to play.

In Japan, Sega's hottest franchise next to Sonic sadly is not even their franchise (only lent to them), Hatsune Miku.
Her mobile game was constantly on Top 10 iOS chart.

FLYNN AND HESSE INVOLVED IN SONIC ORIGINS’ “STORY MODE”

Flynn confirmed his contribution on the BumbleKing blog today while Hesse also confirmed that he worked with Powerhouse for Origins, promising that there’s more animation in the game beyond the bits we saw in the trailer.
With Flynn contributing to Sonic Prime and writing for both Sonic Origins and Sonic Frontiers, and Hesse leading Sonic’s design in both Paramount movies, the two are quickly becoming significant figures beyond the Sonic comics, and into the franchise as a whole.

Yes, he did. There's a special interview of it on Famitsu.

I think his contract ended after GO SEGA campaihn is over,
and  he's busy preparing for Kamen Ride movie afterward (and school too)...

Espio is literally carrying the game.

He's probably the best member of Chaotix since he's a ninja and the one who could defeat Sonic (in the comic).

Once you have reached Emerald Hill, you will be able to find and get Tails in Sonic Speed Simulator by leaping onto jump pads found on a large wooden structure.
These jump pads will take you on top of some floating blocks of grass. Jump across them to the next jump pad found on floating pillars of earth and run through the grey spiral bridge to then run across a speed boost ramp.
This will take you to the Tails card. All you need to do then is collect it and change character.

Head to any of the vending machines strewn all over any of the maps currently in the game.

Sonic Advance - Alternate Invincibility Tune Hack

This small hack restores the unused alternate invincibility tune, later heard in Sonic Advance 2 & 3. In the original game, Sonic 1’s invincibility tune was used instead.
Patches for all regional versions of the game included in download.

Yeah, wonder why SEGA & Paramount make no partnership with Lego this time, but choose to do it with Minecraft and roblox instead.
Probably Sega has had enough with Lego?
Yes, he did. There's a special interview of it on Famitsu.

(https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/756503521498759318/966857304714653706/103507532_984727385313003_2419383811844899445_n.jpg?width=484&height=599)

I think his contract ended after GO SEGA campaihn is over,
and  he's busy preparing for Kamen Ride movie afterward (and school too)...
Well if Sega Shiro was no more than just for GO then it's not much of a legacy... But I guess a more satisfying ending to Segata Sanshiro legacy.
He's probably the best member of Chaotix since he's a ninja and the one who could defeat Sonic (in the comic).

Or not finding suitable partners to make it in short time.

At least we got to watch the return of Segata Sanshiro.

This requirement does not apply to games with a wholesale price of less than $34 or PlayStation VR games.
Developers will reportedly have up to three months after their games launch to release a timed trial, and timed trials are only required to be available on the service for at least 12 months.

Issue #0 of Archie Sonic comics had SOnic say his middle name is Maurice.
Issue #53 was one of Ken Penders issues who given him the name Olgilvie. perhaps one of the ugliest sounding names I've ever heard.

The move to get the Sonic film sequel onto streaming 45 days after its run in theaters started after the first movie was given a digital home release on March 31, 2020.
That move occurred when the pandemic placed everyone on lockdown, and movie theaters were closing down to protect moviegoers and employees from contracting Covid-19 in its early days.
Although the pandemic has slowed in recent months, Sonic 2 streaming on Paramount+ early is a sign that the tradition of releasing movies 90 days after their theatrical run is irrevocably broken.

Sonic the Hedgehog Olive Garden Jokes Weren’t Product Placement

(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/d8/53/4e/d8534ef914bab938d35daa14b8141715.jpg)

Quote
“A lot of that was not product placement,” Casey said with a laugh. “The Olive Garden thing…
Olive Garden didn’t pay us for that, it was just a joke. It was just a little thing, and then it seemed to keep growing on set when I wasn’t there, they kept throwing in more Olive Garden references, I don’t know.
The joke was originally just that the General gives them a crappy gift card at the end, and then it became a whole thing. It worked its way back into earlier in the movie.”

Quote
Sega of America's social media manager, Katie Chrzanowski, has touched on this once again in the latest Sonic Official YouTube livestream - reiterating how a physical release currently isn't planned right now.
The good news is the team (we guess that's Sega) is "aware" of the demand for a physical version. Fingers crossed.
"There isn't one planned at the moment, I have seen a lot of comments asking for one, so the team has been made aware of that, there is a want for a physical release."

We recently caught up with Crush 40 to talk all things Sonic, and it turns out that the duo are 100 percent down to soundtrack a third Sonic film should the opportunity present itself.
“Absolutely one million percent yes. I reached out to them, we had some conversations,” Gioeli told us. “I’m gonna be ready for that, I’ll just put it to you that way. We want to write a bunch of songs, but of course we still have our nostalgic stuff. This means we want to write a bunch of songs, of course we have our nostalgic stuff but we also want to bring some fresh new stuff, should that happen for Sonic 3.”

Sonic Prime's Mack gets to be the character he looked up to as a kid.

(https://i.ibb.co/pvfZtnd/sonic-prime-deven-mack.jpg)

Quote
In Mack’s tweet about his take on the Blue Blur, he shares his own personal history with the character: “Ironically, I’m actually much more of a Tails personality.”
This is why, as a kid, he gravitated so much toward Sonic, as that kind of character was someone he looked up to.
“He’s somebody that I turned to for inspiration.”

Until Frontier is released I guess.
Speed Battle is a mobile game, constant updates are required, otherwise the community will move to another mobile games.

Yes, one year after. I couldn't wait that long.

DNEG Delivers Mushrooming VFX on ‘Sonic the Hedgehog 2’

(https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/756503521498759318/973417264797863946/mushroom.jpg)

Quote
Being able to convey scale was a major challenge in a world populated by 30-foot mushrooms. 
“As human beings we see little mushrooms, so it was difficult to given them depth,” Ghosh Dastider says.
“If a mushroom was really 30 foot tall, the problem is the texture detail and having something that you can relate to such as moss or soil.  You add scratches or colorization until it feels right.” 
Atmospherics were also incorporated into the imagery.

Tails' Greatest Invention Should Fail So Eggman's Daughter Can Grow

Quote
Dr. Eggman has released a beacon that forces his creations to rendezvous to a mysterious city as he assembles a massive army for a future invasion.
In addition to causing Belle to lose her free will and head for Eggman's metropolis, the wave makes her attack Sonic and Tails.
While Sonic tries to keep her occupied, Tails modifies an earlier invention he made against the villainous group the Deadly Six that blocks Eggman's waves and restores Belle's freewill.
What Tails first says to Belle after forcibly installing his genius repurposed prototype could serve as an ominous foreshadowing for what could happen to her: "Are you...sure you're okay?"

New 2D Sonic the Hedgehog Game Reportedly in Development at Sega

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FH1AbfXXsAwx4-D?format=jpg&name=small)

Quote
As for the nature of this reported Sonic title, Zippo states that it's supposed to be more akin to the Sonic Advance and Sonic Rush spin-offs which came to Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS in the early 2000s.
Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles are all said to be playable characters in this new game with Zippo stating that a release in 2023 seems most likely at this point in time.

Schwartz, who was a video game junkie as a child, originally just voiced a short test scene as Sonic — which director Jeff Fowler pitched to studios.
"But the goal was I did it for free as a favor, and then crossed my fingers, waited maybe eight months, and then I got a call from Jeff Fowler," he said. "I've never been so excited."

Until Frontier is released I guess.
Speed Battle is a mobile game, constant updates are required, otherwise the community will move to another mobile games.
Roblox is also technically a mobile game, so you think Speed Simulator will get regular updates?
Yes, one year after. I couldn't wait that long.
I think Sonic Team doubt the game would of been that popular or had such a demand for. They must had been surprised.
Unusual approach but thankfully it worked.
It's an efficient method.

Yes, as long as the developer's still enjoying making it (and SEGA still allowed them too).

Summer Sonic? Not Sumemr of Sonic in London?

No, different event. This is an annual Japanese event that shares a similar name with Sonic (The Hedgehog).

What about Brenda (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Brenda_(Shogakukan)) or Bernadette (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Bernadette_Hedgehog)? Or any of the other mothers in the comics for that matter.

No Longclaw either, but it's a fan art so it's up to the artist to pick up who they want to draw.

I'm still on the fence wherever she's really a bad guy or not. Like we're not 100% sure why she came into the care of Sonic to begin with or if she even is alive or not.

What if they do a political story arc where Clutch runs for political leadership or something like that? I mean, I doubt they'll ever do it but I remember in  Justice League, a superhero cartoon for kids, they were not afraid to not only sow politics into the show but express it in a way that would be more understandable for children.

Just thinking what if there was a story arc where Clutch runs for mayor of Sunset City or Zone Leader (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Zone_Leaders) or something like that. It's always interesting when obvious villains take an opportunity to be in political power and that while the heroes know they will abuse that position they can't do anything about it or else it be illegal and look barbaric if they did.

Sadly no, since Sonic classic games on Steam (other than CD) were just roms while the ones on Origins were remake made with the retro engine.
These Sonic 1, 2, and CD remake with retro engine were already available on mobile for a long time, but Sonic 3&K eventhough that it's finished in 2014, SEGA refuses to publish them due to some legal issue .... until now.

2016. Was the only convention I ever went to.
Yeah, her death was never shown.
One of my pre-movie theories was that there was actually two Master Emeralds and that Longclaw may have tried to steal the echidna's Master Emerald only to accidentally cause it to break into seven fragments. And that each of those fragments turned into pure chaos energy and bonded with seven newborn mobians, causing them to mutate a specific colour. And that either SOnic 2 or a later movie the Chaos Emeralds would of manifested from the fragments Sonic and his friends carried. Sonic 2 however disprooven this theory. But it still didn't say if Longclaw survived or her true intentions.
That would be cool. He could be like "President Lex Luthor" or "Major Fisk (Kingpin)" for Sonic storyline.

Still I doubt Longclaw would return in the movie since I'm sure the third movie will be focused on ... uh ... the character from the mid credit scene.
She could returns in Knuckles TV series though.

Yeah. I doubt Dr. Eggman would run for president. Dr. Starline a maybe.

Clutch versus Starline. competing for president's seat could happen.

That's fair. I mean I've alreayd played these games a dozen times throughout my life so even if I don't get a little something more for owning the roms it's still nice to have the remakes.

The problem is SEGA would delist the rom versions.
This would make all mods from fan community dissapeared too.

Mario... in fourth place!?
And here I thought Nintendo would use all their resources to keep Mario as the Mickey Mouse of the video game industry, especially above Sonic. But the fact Mario didn't even make it to the top three, that's something I never thought I'd see.

One of the key here is  internet search traffic.
Story-wise, there isn't anything interesting about Mario's storyline, so I understand people searching Sonic more for Sonic's storyline.
Also may be movies do have role on it to make people searching information about them.
The first three have appeared in the theatre.
Sonic in Sonic The Hedgehog, Pikachu in Detective Pikachu, and Pac-Man in PIXELS.

If that's really a factor, when Mario movie is released, he might surpass Pikachu and Pac-Man.

Amazon features a LOT of unofficial Sonic coloring books– no really, there are SO many unofficial coloring books, like I can’t begin to express exactly how many unofficial coloring books the platform has.
However, this marks one of the seldom few OFFICIAL coloring books, including SEGA Master System/Genesis: The Official Coloring Book.

Despite channels like Balena Productions clearly marking their Sonic-inspired content as inappropriate for children – due to certain imagery or themes – YouTube has been issuing the Made for Kids label.
The label disables comments, notifications and personalised advertising on videos, whilst greatly limiting its reach on the platform.

Still I doubt Longclaw would return in the movie since I'm sure the third movie will be focused on ... uh ... the character from the mid credit scene.
She could returns in Knuckles TV series though.
I doubt she'll return at this point. But I've been wrong about a lot of things in these movies. Wrong in good ways though.
Clutch versus Starline. competing for president's seat could happen.
Now that would be an interesting political adaption. Especially when it comes to the Resistance taking sides.
The problem is SEGA would delist the rom versions.
This would make all mods from fan community dissapeared too.
Sega wouldn't want that. Unlike Nintendo they fully support and embrace the modding and fan-game community. A trust I would hate to see the fandom spoil someday. Meanwhile Nintendo sends C&D to any Mario, Pokémon or Metroid fan game that gets good.

I guess so. Still I always figured Nintendo were a lot like Disney in a way. Disney has the market on movies, animation and a whole lotta other stuff and Nintendo all about making games. And thus they know how to market their brand (Mickey Mouse, Nintendo etc) to exploit nostalgia for marketing.
Take Pokémon commercials for example advertising new games or devices, they have a habit of being uncanny good even if you don't care much for Pokémon. It's like they know how to market nostalgia the same way Disney markets their old movies.

I blame those "Sonic's Life Stories" and "Don't be sad Baby Sonic" animations. Those ones that look like cheaply made mid-2000 Flash animations that are just churned out. And if you're familiar with Elsagate (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elsagate) animations then you know exactly it's the same sort of formula with these Sonic animations. Making animations specifically for YouTube Kids in order to appeal to an impressionable audience for views in order to exploit the YouTube algorithm. It seems instead of YouTube willing to stop the problem for Sonic fans they're just gonna let the Sonicgate animators have this.

Yeah, they're very protective with the brands too.
We never see Mario or Mickey crossover with Candy Crush, Fall Guys, or Angry Birds.

"Adult" coloring book?

"Adult coloring", not "Adult" coloring.
Still if I was a youtuber, I'll make news out of this with "Sonic has got his first official adult book"
with pic of almost NSFW Sonamy or Sonadow as thumbnail.

It's kinda relatable.
The game's finally announced for Switch and it's cross platform.
Means if we already got Sonic and Knuckles costumes on PC/PS4 version, we could use it on Switch version too.

I doubt it. Sega are still in good relations to their fans and, unless they use SFGHQ as a hit list, there is just too many fan games out their and supportive communities for those fan games to send C&Ds to. I think Sega's legal teams have rights to issue a C&D if a fan game is making money Sega's not getting.

While some game companies were okay with fangames, they're not okay with mods.
Especially adult mods like Nude Chun Li or Topless Tifa Lockhart.

The ability to add mods in PC was a reason for Judgment and Lost Judgment coudn't get PC release.

Sega appear just as chummy with the modding community as they are with the fangame community. Wasn't Chris Whitehead a modder until he was picked up by Sonic Team for remaking Classic-Era Sonic games and Sonic Mania?

Way I see it, but probably not the developers, if the product is purchased then that copy of the product is theirs to do with. If Developers want to discourage it then at least make it that certain features are locked when mods are active, such as achievements or online score boards.

After all when one buys a PC fresh from the shops, they usually put custom programs or put in their own RAM drives or parts to make it more their own. Shouldn't it be the same to most products?

That maybe the way. After all Sega's primary business was Arcade games over console games, although console games are still their primary market. Since COVID killed their Arcade business it makes sense to move those games to mobile.

I mean, it's the same concept if you think about it. Just with micro-transactions instead of tokens.

Modding for older games might have no problems.
But modding for new games does have potential for ruining the brands.
Especially there are mods that act like hacks,
could work around on achievements too eventhough if it's supposed to be locked.

They didn't expect someday for those video games to have topless Tifa mods.

Eventhough this kind of game (http://www.honestgamers.com/3618/turbografx-16/strip-fighter-ii/review.html) existed back then, but it's just pixelated graphics.

Yes, you're right.
Mobile games could act like a mini arcade.
SEGA has already started with UFO Cather Online for mobile.

(https://sega.jp/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/sega-ufo_01.jpg)

And almost everyone has smartphone, but not everyone has PC or console or quick access to arcade centers.
The visibility and easiness to start is greater on smartphones.
Make sense if they went that route.

Sonic Mania Dev Clarifies Involvement With Sonic Origins, Says It's "Purely A Sega-Developed Product"

(https://c.tenor.com/pRMOD6T6-7AAAAAC/sonic-the-hedgehog-classic-sonic.gif)

Quote
"To address a misunderstanding regarding Headcannon's involvement in Sonic Origins - We DID NOT work on Origins itself, nor did we do any additional work on Sonic 1, 2, or CD. We were contracted to build a Retro Engine version of S3&K as a separate project from Sega's Sonic Origins
Headcannon's work used in Sonic Origins, including S3&K, was implemented into Origins by Sega's internal team, who also made any Origins-specific changes/additions themselves. We're proud to have our work featured as PART of Sonic Origins, but it's purely a Sega-developed product.
To further clarify, as it's been asked, yes, this includes Mission Mode. Sega's team developed the missions, as well as Boss Rush, Mirror Mode, etc internally. The only distinct mode that Headcannon created was Blue Spheres, and its implementation into Origins was handled by SEGA."

Modding for older games might have no problems.
But modding for new games does have potential for ruining the brands.
Especially there are mods that act like hacks,
could work around on achievements too eventhough if it's supposed to be locked.
If hacks were used for social cheating, such as if there is a online leader board that keeps track of world record, then yeah, I myself can easily finish any stage in Sonic Forces in a few short seconds by using the camera-angle mod to teleport to the finish line. If the record is kept to myself then it's my issue for cheating, no different from using debug cheat from older Sonic games. It's my copy of Sonic Forces, I'll do what I want with it.

But if those cheats were done in online or public places. I'd find that unfair. For example in Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity I done the tougher parts of the game and wanted more of a challenge so I decided to play against the online records of the game. I thought it will be tougher and more competitive but will probably improve over time. But no matter what the opponent kept beating me before I could finish half the first lap.

It turns out that player must had been a speedrunner or something 'cus they found a broken piece of boundary and was able to make short loops around the starting line which counted as laps. Because they knew this exploit and presuming similar exploits in other courses made the whole feature pointless to me.
Eventhough this kind of game (http://www.honestgamers.com/3618/turbografx-16/strip-fighter-ii/review.html) existed back then, but it's just pixelated graphics.
That too. Just when people use the word "adult" in a product or media our first impression isn't just the fact it means grown-ups.
Sonicgate videos sound right.
Hopefully someone will do something about them because it's difficult finding quality Sonic fan animations on YouTube now without finding all these shitty Sonic animations.
Yes, you're right.
Mobile games could act like a mini arcade.
SEGA has already started with UFO Cather Online for mobile.

(https://sega.jp/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/sega-ufo_01.jpg)

And almost everyone has smartphone, but not everyone has PC or console or quick access to arcade centers.
The visibility and easiness to start is greater on smartphones.
Make sense if they went that route.
Yep. Take any arcade game... such as Virtua Cop. And it can easily be done on a mobile device. Just tap the screen to shoot. And instead of giving the game coins or tokens, just pay a micro-transaction to keep on playing.

I've heard of mobile game UFO catchers where prizes can be delivered to your homes. I dunno how I feel about that when they could just make a loot-crate game where you buy a box and maybe get a lucky prize from it.

I'm pretty sure developer won't mind if we are using hack/mod for ourselves.
But when we started sharing them, that's another story.
And there's no way they could kept track all the mods/hacks out there.
That's why they forbid mod/hack talks on their official forums / media social.
Not talking about them is better since they don't know whether it'll harm the game environment or not.

The prizes are unique and could only be obtained that way.
That's why it's satisfying and something that we could brag to our friends.
But that's for Japan only for now.

I think it's OK to share mods, especially if it helps improve the game such as BetterSADX. Just when it comes down to online cheating then that's no fun.

I gave this Roblox game called "Sonic Tycoon" a go. It's kinda stupid. You spend money to make money to spend on walls, weapons and reinforcements. There was some sort of hacker who was able to jump over my walls despite how high I built them. When I finally made the roof sealing off the building entirely and got myself the best weapons, I figured that's that. I win, I had the most secure house.

Then another player simply teleported in, took a copy of my best weapons and vanished to harass the other players with it.

So all that time and effort for such security was pointless.

Why would someone using a hack on a kid game???

Pretty much. This is why I don't like Robollox as a game but I do like it as a platform. I am 34 years old. While it isn't strictly a kids game and is played by those of all ages I still feel like some kiddy-fiddler whenever I try the more social games. Not that I use Robollox for flirting with strangers or anything, I don't even accept random friend requests. I'd rather know at least the age group around me.

But, I feel alright on Sonic Speed Simulator and I found some Roblox games and RP scenarios I enjoy, though I don't actively RP on them. That's why I like Roblox as a "platform", because "Roblox Studio" which is used to make Roblox games is a rather powerful game developer tool that uses Roblox itself as a platform and when done right can make interesting promotional games for Roblox and I don't feel too out of place playing those games.
I dunno, I'd feel more comfortable socializing if I know I'm around those in my age bracket.

Sonic Speed Simulator event: Treasure Hunt

    Content: Ranger Chao, Sonic & Knuckles Trail, Knuckles Chao, Treasure Hunter Knuckles
    In this event, a blast created by the energy emitted from rescuing Amy Rose from pink crystals caused Knuckles' treasures to scatter across every world in the game. The player needs to recover them and complete three tasks to receive the following prizes:
        Ranger Chao: 1,000,000 Rings
        Sonic & Knuckles Trail: 3000 Emerald Shards
        Knuckles Chao: 30 hidden Eggman Keys
    Upon completing all of above tasks, the player will be rewarded with a Treasure Hunter Knuckles character skin.
    The player can also buy the Chao or Treasure Hunter Knuckles for the appropriate amount of Robux (199 for Chao/Trail and 499 for Treasure Hunter Knuckles).

Thanks. I always forgot that Knuckles was also a treasure hunter, not just guardian.
In the "Free Comic Book Day" comic version he could find new paths due most likely to his nature of treasure hunter.

It makes sense Knuckles is a treasure hunter. While not as often alluded to... or maybe it was just a Sonic the Comic thing, but Knuckles doesn't know why he is the last echidna, how he became guardian or what happened to the other echidnas. All he remembers is that it was his solemn duty to guard the Master Emerald and is aware he has come connection with it.

When he is not guarding or going off on adventures with Sonic, he also protects all of Angel Island and patrols it, all the while searching for treasure or artifacts that may clue him in on his echidna heritage.

This Roblox game became famous at their school after pandemic's happened.

Given it's a UK magazine you could be right though.
It wouldn't be that hard to find Nigel Dobbyns and ask him doing the magazine cover.

He's like a ranger too then.

Eliminating threat from within and outside.

Sonic Advances to $375 Million Globally as Sonic 2 Continues to Go Strong

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FTZDxeoWYAAdMw_?format=jpg&name=small)

Quote
This is, notably, the last weekend before Sonic 2 hits Paramount+ and Epix broadcast channals, so this may be the last major box office jump we’ll be getting until its Japanese release this summer.
At $375 million, Sonic 2 is now just $25 million away from $400 million. Can it reach it? Maybe. Not everyone has Paramount Plus, and if Sonic 2 can continue to make a few million in the US and a few million over seas every week for another month, that will add up.

That would be awkward, but until now all of my kid's Roblox friends mostly are their classmates.
This Roblox game became famous at their school after pandemic's happened.
True, being one of the most easily accessable social platforming games out there. Though someday it be as forgotten as Second Life.
Given it's a UK magazine you could be right though.
It wouldn't be that hard to find Nigel Dobbyns and ask him doing the magazine cover.
True, and he is popular amongst British Sonic fans.
He's like a ranger too then.
Guarding and exploring the area he protects.
Eliminating threat from within and outside.
Kinda like Android 17 on Dragon Ball Super.

"I throw the spaghetti against the wall, see if it sticks, see if it's al dente," Carrey says in the behind-the-scenes featurette.
"I know the material, and then, of course I want to try it a bunch of different ways.
Give the director so much to work with, so many levels of emotion, so many levels of cartoon.
I'll do them all night if they let me."

Idris Elba, Jim Carrey, and Sonic 2 director Jeff Fowler dig deep into Knuckles' motivation
Explains Why Knuckles Is So Mean In Sonic The Hedgehog 2


(https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/756503521498759318/978945404341223424/FB_IMG_1652961586917.jpg)

Quote
"Knuckles is the last of the echidnas. The echidnas are a very proud warrior race that have sort of gotten themselves extinct by virtue of their own aggressiveness," Fowler explained. "Because he's the last of his kind, he really has this deep sense of honor."

Added Elba, "He's not a warm and fuzzy guy. He's straight to the point and means business. He doesn't really understand emotion. He just understands brute force."

That brute force is exactly what Robotnik needs, Carry said. "When he hears about the power of Knuckles, it's a daunting task to dominate this character but that's what he must do," the actor offered. He must use Knuckles' power to his own gains."

Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 returns to the Xbox 360 Marketplace, and this is probably the reason why… (Spoiler Alert!)

(http://segabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/maxresdefault-1-750x422.jpg)

Quote
That’s right, 2006’s Sonic the Hedgehog is back up for sale digitally on Xbox 360! Selling for only $4.99, the game has returned following a mass delisting of Sonic games with low critic scores several years back.
However, I think I know why the game has made a sudden return…
Now that Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (the movie) is available digitally, and Shadow the Hedgehog makes his mid-credits debut in the movie, SEGA sees an opportunity to make money off of casual fans looking to reconnect with the series.

One of the special modes for Sonic Origins is the newly added Story Mode which lets you replay the first four sonic games as one seamless experience.
There’s one big caveat to that and that’s because you can only play through this mode as Sonic rather than Tails or Knuckles.
But don't worry, in "Anniversary Mode", you can play as Sonic, Tails, and even Knuckles!

Sonic 3 Movie Aiming For 2024, Paramount Possibly Seeking "Hollywood Actor" To Voice New Enemy (Spoiler Alert!)

Quote
No names have been revealed at this stage, but it might not be an existing VA (like Tails).
Shadow's VA could be more like Knuckles - a big-name Hollywood casting.
And if you're wondering about Amy Rose appearing in the future - unfortunately, the producers were unable to answer this one due to a non-disclosure agreement.

Don't worry. They're not Nintendo.

(https://i.imgflip.com/3ua1jy.jpg)
Fan games that are monetized, I'd say it's fair for Sega or Nintendo to call C&D over. No matter how quality the fan game it should be for free and recreational and not profiting off others licensed properties.
I know there are YouTube videos of licensed content that's monetized, I dunno how they work, YouTube rules or something.

As far as I'm aware, most of Nintendo fan games were free just like Sega fan games and Nintendo had no real reason to take them down other than they don't like fan games.
Not eye-catchy enough for kids, also that game's intended for people aged 16 and over.
Perhaps so. That and lots of NSFW content on it. Still I had some fond memories on Second Life such as the Sonic fan club on it. Still doesn't mean I'm going back to that toxic game anytime soon.
Could be. Or it could be continued on Knuckles TV series.

I just hope Sonic the Series is as quality as Drone Home. I wouldn't mind cameo from live-action actors though. I don't want Tom, Maddie or Wade to simply be mentioned but never shown. Even the MCU movie stars had time to reprise roles for TV series.
For now, who knows what future brings.
I never got one now on my current job, life's changed.
I don't really wanna talk about my IRL, but things are pretty stable for me at the moment.

It's Nintendo. They could shit out a game and it still be highly regarded.
I didn't even know that Second Life is toxic. It doesn't look like that way for outsider's perspective.
I used to be part of a group of Sonic fans. I made one mistake and they were quick to kick me out of their group like a cancerous tumor despite the years we had. I once made my own Green Hill Zone only for one of my land mods to ruin it. Other than that almost every service requires L$, the game is more thirsty for it's in-game cash than Roblox is for Robux. Oh, and the crashing. Was so annoying. If I were to ever return to Second Life, especially the Sonic fan community on there, I want to be sure they're gone. That or I can't be my OC on it. Still  Idon't have any reasons to go back to Second Life.
Not the big three though. We only got Hawkeye, Vision, Loki, and Scarlet Witch instead of Iron man, Captain America, and Thor.
While I'm not much of a Hawkeye guy, Hawkeye and Visionw ere still Avengers. And Loki's awesome, I wish modern Doctor Who was more like Loki. All in all I would love a TV-series adaption of the movies in same style as Sonic Drone Home. But given Drone Home looks entirely CGI would that mean we'll hardly see Green Hills human residents despite Green Hill being a human town?
It's good to know that in short we're just doing fine right now.
Yep. No drama at my end... for now.

I mean, think of fans who died waiting for Half Life 3, or for Avengers: Endgame. Kinda depressing if you think about it.

Sonic Origins (Switch) File Sizes For Standard & Digital Deluxe Versions Revealed - 3.6GB vs 7.8GB

Sonic Origins' standard release will be around 3.6GB.
The Digital Deluxe release is more than twice the size of this, at an impressive 7.8GB — that means it's larger than both Sonic Forces and Sonic Colors Ultimate on the Switch.

That's fair if they simply don't have James Marsden, Tika Sumpter or Adam Pally on board let alone the desired set scenery. I really don't mind if Drone Home is an example of what the TV series will be like, I just hope we'll still get familiar live-action human characters. Especially given Sonic is practically adopted by the Wachowski's now.

I have a feeling Sonic Frontier will be the first of a new era of Sonic games. One inspired by such games as Kingdom Hearts, Zelda and PSO2:New Genesis. Because of that we may be introduced to new enemies with more lore built around them than just generic badniks to bop with homing attacks and may have more stylized combat to it.

My guess to the story is Starfall Islands simply show up from nowhere and that like Halpha from PSO2:NG, the very islands themselves are riddled with some sort of alien technology. Dr. Eggman was perhaps the first to discover this alien tech and reprograms it for his interest. As Sonic learns more about the islands himself he unlocks a new power to fight with. At least that's my pure guess.

DC media always seems to established a shared continuity with other franchises to the point a DC hero can't have their own series without at least some mention of other heroes. Even "Lois and Clark" had the batmobile in it at one point, and that's the most standalone Superman series I know of.

It also gives me PSO2:NG-vibes. And with the sombre music and how empty that island appears, gives a sort of sad and lonely vibe which is rather different from past Sonic games that usually have upbeat music and Sonic's attitude.

I have a feeling this game will not be afraid to put more drama into it's story, which gives me hope for having a story as quality as the Adventure games and Unleashed.

But then again I also hope item boxes (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Item_Box) and emblems (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Emblem) will return in it, but doubt Sonic Team no longer cares for that.

I don't mind the PSO2:NG-vibes since PSO was first created by Sonic Team afterall.
Now let's wait for the combat battle.
Based on the teaser, one of his new attack's like from Pac-Man World 3
(running around the enemies to destroy them).

The Real-World Inspiration Behind That Iconic Sonic Logo

Oshima had really been into American leather jackets, emblems, and airplane nose art and they wanted to use this aesthetic as part of their presentation of the character.
Oshima explained that he drew the emblem with the wings to look like the sort of thing you would see stitched onto the back of a flight jacket.

I usually love Sonic's cheerful upbeat music, but I'll give this a try since it fits the environment.
I don't mind the PSO2:NG-vibes since PSO was first created by Sonic Team afterall.
Now let's wait for the combat battle.
Based on the teaser, one of his new attack's like from Pac-Man World 3
(running around the enemies to destroy them).

Let's see what's more.

Sonic Frontiers: Combat Gameplay Trailer | IGN First

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q88r4mKJGoM (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q88r4mKJGoM)
I think an elaborate combat for Sonic is a good thing. We haven't had one of those since Shadow's game (and Sonic Battle and Chronicles I guess). In almost every Sonic game, you just jump on the badniks. Homing attack just makes it all the more easier to the point badniks are treated more like obstacles or stepping stones than a threat.

My guess for Sonic Frontiers is Dr. Eggman finds a whole armoury with alien robots and all he had to do was run his badnik loyalty program through them to take control. He'll probably still make badniks in the game but these enemy robots look nothing like Eggman's designs.

He does lightning punches now, lol..
Yeah, where is Eggman?
He's not shown up anywhere in the trailer.
But I'm sure he'll show up in the game since Pollock confirmed his involvement in the series.

As a final boss like Lost World probably even though the Zetis are the main enemies.

Famitsu shows off Sonic Origins in live stream, including new features and animated cutscenes (including all Sonic Mania Adventures animation)

Some highlights for me was the opening animated cutscene for Sonic 1, the confirmation of Sonic Mania Adventures animations all being included, the surprisingly expanded 2 player mode with new maps, the mission and boss battle modes and the aforementioned overworld map of all the classic era islands.

Maybe a zeti is controlling these robots, who knows.

Eitherway, I've heard the favourable views have soured since those gameplay demos.

While the new combat style is much appreciated, the world design still got a lot of hates.. but lot of defenders too.

I've defended the game on account the demo is suppose to showcase the gameplay, not the world or story. Thus these demos lack context on how and why Sonic is on such a small and bland island.
For all we know, this island could simply be the tutorial stage. Or may not even show up in the finished product.

I do agree the game still needs work and would allow (heck, encourage) Sega to consider post-poning the release of the game for polished and revised programming.

Sonic's general movement and boosting reminds me of Sonic Forces and we can't have that. Sonic Speed Simulator proves Sonic can work in an open-world game with Adventure-like gameplay and physics so Sonic Team doesn't really have an excuse at this point.

Yes, some leaks showed that there's a desert stage too.
Hopefully there's a snowy one too or colorful one (like the one on Lost World).
Sonic Central is coming soon btw, may be there will be a footage of another stage.

SEGA’s data analytics for mobile gaming now faster than Sonic

Quote
According to Masaki Takeuchi, Section Manager of Business & Data Analysis Section, Business Planning Department, Game Contents & Service Business Division at SEGA, mobile gaming analysts are now free from the routine work of preparing data reports and enable them to spend more time solving complex analytical challenges.
SEGA introduced Qlik’s solutions, including Qlik Sense, to bring in multiple data sources and automate the creation of routine reports.
With Qlik, analysts can independently collect, process, and analyze the required data. They are also able to incorporate data from external sources without writing complex algorithms.

Lol. I think they better make a new game based on Sonic Speed Simulator (or ask Gamefam to make it), released it alongside Frontiers so people can choose.
Do they really need gamefam though? I mean all they did was recreate Sonic Adventure gameplay and physics and now I'm standing by vendors wasting my rings on a gacha game for an update I'll need to spend Robux on to win.

So in a sense it proves this game doesn't take place on Sonic's Earth. Or perhaps not the current time of Sonic's earth? Could be an alien island in Sonic's future or something.

I really like the idea of a Dr. Eggman Egg Mobile toy where you can switch and change around parts for the Egg Mobile and maybe come up with your own Eggman boss designs and such.

As for the Razer controller, I don't have an XBox One but I would really like that controller. Especially given my old XBox 360 controller is drifty. If I can use the controller cable for it and not worry about batteries that be fine too.

Yes, Sonic Team isn't as big as RGG or Sega Online R&D and they already got their hand full.
So if it's not the main game, give the project to the one who's already loved by fans.
If the game's based on Sonic Speed Simulator then they could ask Gamefam.
If the game's 2D retro remake then they could ask Taxman (which they already did recently with Sonic3&K for Sonic Origins).
If the game's racing then they could ask Sumo Digital.
If it's a handheld game then they could ask Dimps.
If it's a mobile game then they could ask Hardlight or Feral Interactive.

So in a sense it proves this game doesn't take place on Sonic's Earth. Or perhaps not the current time of Sonic's earth? Could be an alien island in Sonic's future or something.

That would make the matching charging stand a waste.
It has quick charge function.
Able to fully charge the controller in under 3 hours, also designed with overcharge protection to prevent overheating and short circuiting.

You'd think the performers would be the first people to know about a show happening, before the public does...🤔

I still don't think they need Gamefam to make a Sonic game that recreates the same physics and gameplay in Sonic Adventure. For starters Gamefam used Roblox Studio as the basis for SSS while there are fan games out there made from Scratch (or at least with Unity or Unreal) that already has the gameplay and physics down perfectly. Sonic Team could either hire an independant group like they did with Taxman or make it themselves given they themselves made Sonic Adventure.

I guess, just where would I put the charger? I mean, I have a sort of side-table out of old boxes and it's mostly cluttered.

But if that controller ever hits Sega Shop UK (https://www.segashop.co.uk/)... well it's the only way I can get it. I can't do Amazon.

They really should rename it "Sonic: Speed Battle" at this point. The game is still popular and ongoing but Sonic Forces itself is rather dated.

Yes they could, the question is "would they"?
It's not out of character for them to do so, so I imagine they would hire a second-party to collab with Sonic Team to either remake Sonic Adventure 1 & 2 as a compilation and/or Sonic Adventure 3. Iizuka did say he wanted to continye the Adventure games someday.
What's wrong with Amazon?
Nothing. I just can't be bothered to get an Amazon account.
May be they'll rename it to Sonic Frontiers: Speed Battle later, who knows?

But when Sonic Frontiers is over and done with and we get the next Sonic game like "Sonic Badonkas" then Speed Battle will just be renamed "Sonic Badonkas: Speed Battle".

The only reason I would see the game being renamed "Sonic Frontiers: Speed Battle" is if they close down Sonic Forces: Speed Battle and start a fresh. Which means the same old game just new courses, some old ones and you have to re-earn your characters and everything. And no one wants that. They tried to do it with Sonic Runners when they closed it down and made Sonic Runners Adventure.

I'd say, ditch the middle-man name and rebrand it as "Sonic Speed Battle". That way they can have events that cater for new game releases, as well as movies.

Yes, but Iizuka also said they always wanted to challenge themself into new things, that's why Sonic game usually very different from the previous one.

But actually the renaming thing was working.
After renaming, Sonic Forces mobile somehow could compete with SEGA's Japanese mobile games, the only SEGA's western mobile game that could make it to top ten every month.
May be when people searched "Sonic Forces" in the google they found this mobile game instead, tried them, and then got hooked up.
Pretty sure there are more people searched "Sonic Forces" than just "Sonic Speed Battle", Foreces name is catchier after all.
Still no way it could beat Miku mobile game (Project Sekai) though. Miku could even beat PSO2 NGS.

These hololive characters could talk and respond to fans immediately in their stream, that's what gibe them advantage compared to non streamer characters.

I do suspect this will be Sonic 2’s penultimate box office article until its Japan release later this summer.
Here’s hoping we’ll get to end things by reporting that it’s surpassed $400 million!
That certainly remains quite plausible.

It played good too in the last video. Though it's now more like action RPG with its EXP system and skill tree.
I'm open to new things.

Get so sick and tried of the usual Sonic hate and people jumping on the hate bandwagon

It's no different with people who hates Michael Jackson or Justin Bieber just because they're popular.
They think they'll be cool to hate the mainstream things.

I can'#t help but feel PSO2:NG vibes from Frontiers.

Isn't that a good thing?

still I doubt Sonic Team will allow Amy or Rouge to wear as little as the PSO2 girls wear.

Understandable since PSO2:NGS rated as MATURE game while Sonic series usually are ALL AGES.

Why weren't Amy, Blaze, and Rouge using these leotards?

They really went out from their comfort zone. Trying an all new different direction was risque, hopefully it paid off.

I believe it will. I have a feeling this game may not be as good as Generations (I hold that game in high regards) but still be their best in a long while... Heck maybe Frontiers will surpass Generations for me.

I think the Sonic the Hedgehog Loop Scene is the Pixel Frames shadow box that best shows what this collection can do.
First, we’re in Green Hill Zone. Everyone knows it. Sonic is just finishing running through one of the series’ trademark loops.
It conveys a sense of speed, since we see he’s already gone through it and is in motion. Plus, it provides an opportunity to place him in one of the midground layers, with the front of the loop and “stage” in the foreground.
Lurking ahead is a Buzz Bomber, one of the series’ more recognizable standard enemies. Plus, the background layer is far enough behind to provide even more context.
It highlights a lot of things people love about the series.

Sonic The Hedgehog 2's Siberia Scene Was An Improv Acting Showcase

(https://c.tenor.com/7bw8fQLjreUAAAAC/sonic-sonic-the-hedgehog.gif)

Quote
Colleen O'Shaughnessey said, "The best thing was recording that scene in Siberia.
It was so much fun, and they just let us go.
We kept really true to the script for a couple of passes, and then they were just like, 'go for it.'
Especially the parts in the middle where we're bumping into each other, we got to just really go for it, and it was so much fun."

"You can’t just make a movie, see how it does and then decide to make another one, because if you do that, it will be years between sequels.
Like “Sonic,” we’re going to take a spinoff character Knuckles and do a miniseries on Paramount+, which will transition us into the third “Sonic” movie with lots of Easter eggs.
That planning is what I’m focused on, as well as filling out the slate with filmmakers that we’re passionate about who want to tell stories that they have passion for."

I found the Siberian tavern scene to be my second least favourite scene in the movie. I found it rather "Well this movie is for kids, lets give them an obligatory dance scene with pop music.) I also found the whole thing rather cartoony with the granny knitting a pirate flag and the fish head saying "run". Isn't the whole point of Sonic and Tails being on Earth is a sense of realism?

When I first saw the pavonka guy, I thought he was going to turn into a werebear as a reference to Altered Beast.
(https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/alteredbeast/images/a/a4/Bear.png)
That would of been so much cooler than a dance battle and would leave audience with a lot of questions that could be answered in an Altered Beast spin-off.

Is it confirmed the mini TV series will be centered on Knuckles?
Yes, Idris Elba is the only one currently confirmed to voice for it, but it's called "Sonic the Series", not "Knuckles the Series" or "Sonic the Series & Knuckles".

But I do hope this won't be the only TV series spin-off of Sonic. Like the Marvel Cinematic Universe with it's own TV spin-off series I hope Sonic film series will have a variety of TV series to keep us going between movie installments.

And if we ever get that Sega Cinematic Universe (http://segabits.com/forums/index.php?topic=4582.0), we could have more Sega TV series.

Quote
Q : Music from other Mega Drive Sonic games will be available in the Classic Music Pack DLC, and we would have loved to see Knuckles Chaotix included in the playable Origins package.
Was that or either of the other games considered for inclusion?
A : No, since the original Sonic series goes from Sonic 1 to Sonic 3 & Knuckles, from the beginning we didn’t consider including any other titles.
The game content would be pretty different, too. We added them to the music pack as DLC so people could revisit their memories of other classic titles, even if it’s only through the music.

Limiting them on Paramount+ is kinda a waste, even though i understand the reasons.
I think it's fair for them to host it on their own streaming service. I mean before MArvel was brought out by Disney their MCU TV shows were on vairous platforms. Now it's strictly Disney channel. I imagine it will be a trend with Disney with MCU and Paramount with SCU, if we'll ever get an SCU.

Here's me ready for Sonic Origins with the new Hori controller that have a dpad :

Ah, I see. I just hope that it will still be inclusive of humans and not 100% CGI because that be a bit awkward.

Going full CGI with realistic background would be expensive so I believe it would include humans.

I think it's fair for them to host it on their own streaming service. I mean before MArvel was brought out by Disney their MCU TV shows were on vairous platforms. Now it's strictly Disney channel. I imagine it will be a trend with Disney with MCU and Paramount with SCU, if we'll ever get an SCU.

That's a fair reason. I just want it got more exposure.

A friend on mine on SNN said he got the Steam version of the game because he plans to get the music mods for them when available.

That would be a nice solution to those who didn't like the new music (me included).
Sonic 3 doesn't feel like Sonic 3 without the glass break sound and new jack swing music.

Who're those bullies?

Another Fox from Tails' neigbourhood.
They bully him because he has two tails instead of one like normal foxes.

Quote
After decades of speculation, Sonic the Hedgehog co-creator Yuji Naka casually confirms that Michael Jackson did indeed compose music for Sonic 3.
Some speculation suggested that Jackson's tracks went unused in the final game, but Naka's statements seemingly finally confirm that the late musician's work did make it into the original release of the game.
It is unknown why Jackson was previously uncredited for the compositions.

OK, so, my theory is Starfall Islands are located on an alternate Earth to Sonic. That explains why the springs look different.
When someone's having a birthday party, usually we give him a gift.
That's what we give to Sonic this year :  £33
Is Orbot British too?
The way he speak is very polite, gentleman-like.

He's not british. His naitonality was whatever lab Dr. Eggman made him in.
He's in the game, you just couldn't see him. He's a ninja afterall.
That's true. most of the time you are completely unaware of ninjas presents.
I work in front of my computer all day, I just don't want to play game in front of computer again at night.
Playing in the bed feels nicer.

Damn! That looks perfect for me. Where did you get it? I might consider buying a Switch if that's the case.
Going full CGI with realistic background would be expensive so I believe it would include humans.
I like the idea of Shadow getting his own spin off series working with GUN. I imagine it be like Agents of SHIELD but but Sonic and Sega properties than MCU.
That's a fair reason. I just want it got more exposure.
I'm sure it will with the publicity it will generate by fans interest.
That would be a nice solution to those who didn't like the new music (me included).
Sonic 3 doesn't feel like Sonic 3 without the glass break sound and new jack swing music.
Totally understood. Kinda sucks Sega couldn't keep the rights to their own music.
Another Fox from Tails' neigbourhood.
They bully him because he has two tails instead of one like normal foxes.
I never figured we'd ever see the bullies.

OK, so, my theory is Starfall Islands are located on an alternate Earth to Sonic. That explains why the springs look different.

Could be. Rumoured there's also a spirit girl named Kodama, based on legendary folk stories.

He's not british. His naitonality was whatever lab Dr. Eggman made him in.

Egg Nation then...

Damn! That looks perfect for me. Where did you get it? I might consider buying a Switch if that's the case.

It's also made Switch more comfortable to grab.
Amazon. Or just google "sonic hori split pad pro"

Michael didn't like the way it sound in Genesis, so he said, "Use it all the way you like. No need to credit me."

Tracks are as follows:

Invincibility Theme - Sonic 3
Knuckles Theme - MJ Sound Team
Carnival Night Zone - MJ Sound Team
Ice Cap Zone - MJ Sound Team
Launch Base Zone - MJ Sound Team
Competition Menu - MJ Sound Team
Super Theme - Sonic Origins (Sega Genesis Cover) by Polo_Blue
Launch Base Act 2 Complete - Sonic 3
Doomsday Zone Complete - S&K or MJ Sound Team Credits (depending on the version you download)
Classic and Anniversary Mode now both use the same Extra Life music.

Alternate download available for MJ Sound Team Credits which will play in place of Sky Sanctuary when Hyper Sonic finishes Doomsday Zone.
It doesn't really match well enough to be the main download, but this will let you have a complete Michael Jackson Sound Team experience without overriding that of Sonic 3 & Knuckles.

Load the mod using a Sonic Origins mod loader.

I already got Birthday and Classic Sonic. Classic Sonic even has Sonic 1 jump sound and Sonic 3D Blast Attack (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Homing_Attack#Sonic_3D_Blast) sound when using the Homing Attack.

That's a nice tribute.

Figured there would be a mod/fix for it soon.

Yes, but this was fast. Very fast.
Guess the modder really couldn't stand the new music.

Sonic Origins: How to Unlock Hidden Palace Zone

(http://segabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/sonic2-hiddenpalacezone3-11.jpg)

Quote
While playing Sonic 2, get to Act 2 of the Mystic Cave Zone. Stick to the lowest path. There is a deep pit underneath a collapsable bridge that looks like a death trap, but it's the secret entrance to Hidden Palace Zone.
The Hidden Palace Zone functions as a shortcut to the next level, Oil Ocean Zone, and has the same boss, Sonic 2's Brass Eggman, as the normal path through Mystic Cave Zone.
Or just use Level Select Screen (At the beginning of the game, when Sonic and Tails appear on the title screen, hit the following keys: up, up, up, down, down, down, left, right, left, right).

Paramount Pictures Home Entertainment’s Sonic the Hedgehog 2 moved up to No. 1 on the U.K’s Official Film Chart on digital sales only.
After being nipped for the top spot last week, the sequel co-starring Jim Carrey, moved past last week’s chart-topper The Batman from Warner Bros. Pictures.
The caped crusader didn’t fall far, landing at the No. 2 spot, thanks to sales on physical formats, including DVD, Blu-ray Disc and 4K UHD Blu-ray Disc.

A manth? Just for me?

That's what they said.
Right now in SEGA Asia, there are many giveaways happened.
Chance to get Sonic Origins playing cards, Morgana plushies, SEGA/Atlus T-Shirts, lot of steam codes.

It's supposed to be international but SEGA Asia started early.
Or may be SE and SOA are the one who're kinda late.
Or then again I could be missing something too since I only follow SEGA Asia on Facebook.

Mediatonic's colourful multiplayer game has already hit a milestone of 20 million players within 48 hours, and those numbers have more than doubled since then.
Mediatonic celebrated with a rather bright and bean-y visual of a world full of Fall Guys over on the game's official Twitter account

Uncle is really lucky.

He had to go so many hardships though before being lucky.

I don't hate it but still gives me mixed feelings.

I don't hate it but SEGA definitely hates it.

On the spin dash question, I always imagine Sonic has vertical 360° vision given he's spinning and that his brain picks up what he sees and maps it in his mind in a vertical panorama sort of way.

As for how he does the homing attack, my theory is that when he became Hyper Sonic is Sonic 3 & Knuckles, he instinctively knew how to perform the Hyper Flash (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Hyper_Flash) granted to him by the transformation.
While afterwards (Sonic 4 or Adventure) he was no longer Hyper Sonic he still remembered the method of the Hyper Flash which is he recreates as the jump dash.

As for the Homing Attack, as I said I believe he has vertical 360° panoramic vision so it could be possible he uses it to lock-on to his target and jump dash towards them.

But that's just a theory, a Sonic theory.

I honestly forgot Mach 3.0 was a thing. Honestly I found this event a little disappointing.

For starters it was pretty much the Metallic Madness event recycled. They removed the spike-traps on the courses, added checkpoints (That don't even make the sound (http://y2u.be/1yv7e7-IEiE) I might add) and added balloons. The balloons slow you down but they give a lot of purple orbs making the whole thing more easier than the original Metallic Madness event.

And all for a reskin of Metal Sonic.

For those who are unfamiliar with Chain Chronicle, Chain Chronicle is a popular Japanese mobile game that allows players to become a soldier who builds an army and fights to protect the imaginary land of “Yugdo” from the menacing Black Army.
As the game advances, players begin to unravel each member’s story to create a long chain of chronicles where all are connected.

It is, but given they put Metallic Madness on hold you'd think there would be more improvement. Feels like a downgrade really.

Gameplay-wise yes, it's downgrade.
But appearance-wise, it's cool since this marks the first time Metal Sonic 3.0 has appeared in a game in 15 years, since it's first and only other appearance in the 2007 game Sonic Rivals 2.

San Diego Comic-Con is about to begin, and IDW Publishing is sharing its big plans for Sonic the Hedgehog through the second half of 2022.
That includes getting into the Halloween spirit with the new Scrapnik Island miniseries, featuring the return of Sonic Advance villain Mecha Knuckles, and celebrating Miles "Tails" Prower's 30th birthday in a similar fashion to Sonic's own 30th-anniversary celebration.
IDW Publishing already celebrated the 50th issue of its ongoing Sonic the Hedgehog series earlier this year, but the publisher seems to have plenty more excitement in store for Sonic the Hedgehog fans over the course of the next several months.

Takashi Iizuka has shot down Super Mario Maker-Style Sonic Game

(https://i.imgur.com/hLwqdFx.gif)

Quote
In a new conversation with Game Informer, Iizuka was asked a number of questions about the past, present, and future of Sonic the Hedgehog.
In the course of the interview, Iizuka was asked about the possibility of a Sonic Maker game being something that SEGA would ever look to release.
In short, Iizuka quickly and bluntly blew off this idea without even entertaining it much more.
As such, this project seems like it's something that isn't on Sega's radar whatsoever.

May be they are.
May be only few things that SEGA allowed them to do.
Unlike SEGA HARDLight, Gamefam is still a third party company.
I hope Gamefam will be allowed to use some of HARDLight's characters.
That's nice to hear. Was last year like this too?
I don't recall it being as hot last year... nor as worldwide of a heatwave.
It feels like it's set up to celebrate Halloween.

I doubt it. Neither Archie or IDW seem to had bothered much over seasonal specials. They could of made a Halloween special during the Metal Virus Arc. Zombies are a staple monster in Halloween, it would of worked to make some sort of "of the Living Dead" parody comic special with Metal Virus victims. Especially if they release the special for free on Halloween (https://www.halloweencomicfest.com/).
Funny thing is Tails wasn't playable in Sonic 3D.
Should've taken places from his Game Gear games.

He wasn't playable, but he and knuckles were still present on Flickies Island... as doormen to the Special Stages. I imagine the comic specials is what Tails got up to on the island when not standing around waiting for Sonic.

I wouldn't mind a Sonic game maker as long as it's in 3D. Take a look at the custom stages made for Sonic Generations. Those stages were made in Blender and I dunno how they were ported over but imagine if Sega released developer tools to the public allowing us to make our own Generations or Forces stages with ease.

They say extreme weather gets a boost from climate change. Global warming is real.
It's definitely real. It was taught in schools growing up so I took it as straight up fact. But when I heard there are those who scoffed at it I'm like "are you mental?". I just hope the pollution can be removed and the Ozone can be repaired after all the damage we collectively done.
You're right. Metal Virus Arc. was already Halloween enough and they had nothing to do with Halloween.
If I made a Halloween special for Sonic IDW comic, my story would continue off from #19 (https://idwsonic.fandom.com/wiki/IDW_Sonic_the_Hedgehog_Issue_19). be about a bunch of leftover citizens who were left behind from the evacuation from the Grand Gold Flicky Hotel (https://idwsonic.fandom.com/wiki/Grand_Gold_Flicky_Hotel). So they decided to secure the hotel and haul up in it Dawn of the Dead (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dawn_of_the_Dead_(1978_film)) style. These survivors would be entirely new and original characters and depicted as civilians, perhaps one of them a Restoration (https://idwsonic.fandom.com/wiki/Restoration) member who fought in The War (https://idwsonic.fandom.com/wiki/The_War).

While an entirely new cast of character, there can still be plenty of cameos in the form of zombots such as Shadow, Tangle, Knuckles and other infected characters at the time.
What? Tails left his post? What if when Sonic need him and he isn't there?

(https://y.yarn.co/ea67fa61-7c63-48ef-9daa-c7da005ebed8_text.gif)
You expect Knuckles and Tails to just stand around all day while Sonic gets to have a run around?
Yeah, too bad SEGA wasn't interested with that.
Probably for the best. All that "Sega's answer to Nintendo" crap if they made their own level editor. Though I think SOnic Origins should of came with such a feature.
Very very slow. I got bored already at half of the video and sped them up.
I mostly just skipped bits of it and expected something interesting to happened. TailsTube maybe short but at least keep interesting presentation.

They already explored The War aftermath with restoration members (Tangle and Whisper),
but the story were still light, nothing horror or dark.

They're not much help at all anyway lately so yes, waiting for Sonic is the best course.

Sonic Frontiers Potentially Removing Controversial Feature

(https://i.redd.it/bugftpoy2r481.gif)

Quote
As noted on SteamDB, which is a site that tracks backend functions with Valve's Steam platform, the PC version of Sonic Frontiers seems to no longer be including Denuvo.
If you're not familiar with what Denuvo is, in short, it's anti-cheat and piracy software that publishers often include in PC releases to protect them from hackers.
And while nothing about Denuvo at a baseline level is all that controversial, it has started to draw criticism in recent years because of how its inclusion affects games.

Since it's for Sonic anniversary, probably it will last until the end of this year (or sooner).
All that I know that Gamefam is ready to move on for their next project.

So... they're doing hospital sim now?
It's still good to have a dream and wish.
It build us a positive attitude.
Whether it's realized or not later, that's another matter.
Yeah, but it can be a let down when it's too late to follow your dreams.

After fighting for their lives in issue #50, both the heroes and bad guys need some time to heal and regroup... except Dr. Eggman, of course, who is always ready to destroy that darn hedgehog.
Can Sonic, Tails, and Belle escape the city, or will Eggman finally bumble his way to victory?

As long as they don't pull a Sonic Runners Adventure. That was stupid.

Imagine how many players have put time, effort and mostly money in events unlocking a huge collection of unique characters and so on, only for the game to be like "We're closing now, thank you for your support and patronage."
Then release a game exactly like the first one, but with default characters. This is why I believe SRA didn't had much support afterwards because why should players have to spend money and time to unlock everything they already earned?

SRA was handled by Gameloft, not by SEGA themself.
Gameloft wanted to preserve the game so that it's still playable although it couldn't be in its original state.
I still think it's better than nothing.

Sonic has already enough rivals, so I prefer a rival for Eggman.
Starline who has great admiration on Eggman fits the bill.
Of course I still prefer Zavok, he's written great in Bad Guys, but his zeti friends (other than Master Zik) are kinda annoying.

May be he should~

I guess so, even though SRA fizzled out not long after.

It's a single player game that's more like a console game with no plans for future update so it served its purpose.
Unlike Idola, Sonic Speed Simulator, or Sonic Forces Mobile which are being maintained every weeks and getting constant update.

We associate Big as one of the slowest, easy-going characters out there. So funny to see him zipping around the place at LVl900 MPH.

All his friends are always running so I guess he wanted to try it too.

Valve launched community-created Steam tags back in 2014 and things haven’t always gone smoothly.
While they can be very helpful, checking the tags for pretty much any Steam game often yields some odd inclusions – Elden Ring as a relaxing walking simulator, anyone?
The game has been tagged for ‘hentai’, ‘psychological horror’, ‘nudity’, and perhaps more shockingly of all, ‘Souls-like’.
Checking SteamDB reveals other tags such as ‘gore’, ‘sexual content’, ‘NSFW’, ‘horror’, and most interestingly of all, ‘female protagonist’.

Sonic has already enough rivals, so I prefer a rival for Eggman.
Starline who has great admiration on Eggman fits the bill.
Of course I still prefer Zavok, he's written great in Bad Guys, but his zeti friends (other than Master Zik) are kinda annoying.

(https://64.media.tumblr.com/3a2bf08ad95998f679c54fdb4d6a78a7/tumblr_mnn22mwr5t1qgbzcro1_1280.png)
I'd rather have an existing villain for a rival to Dr. Eggman than just a knock-off of Finitevus or Snively. Besides Dr. eggmans shows he was always a few steps ahead of Starline to the point he was never regarded much of a threat to him, just an inconvenience.
May be he should~
Him being a delivery boy was my proposed idea for a Season 3 story arc of Sonic Boom. Where Team Sonic gets stranded in the big city and get by as couriers.
It's a single player game that's more like a console game with no plans for future update so it served its purpose.
Unlike Idola, Sonic Speed Simulator, or Sonic Forces Mobile which are being maintained every weeks and getting constant update.
Sonic Speed Sim updates are somewhat of a mixed bag though. Take the Big + Froggy event for example, they introduced Green Reef, a small cove bay area. Sure it's small but effort was put into it... But they used Lost World badniks which do nothing but serve for grinding (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grinding_(video_games)) again. they could at least have attacks or cause harm when touched but they don't. Kind of an insult to have buzz bombers do work more fitting for spinner badniks. This is why if we ever get a Shadow update, I'd rather it be a series of challenges than just "Collect 2000 Chaos Drives to unlock Shadow".
All his friends are always running so I guess he wanted to try it too.
Turns out the big guy is just as fast.

In a way it's "sort of" indicates what fans are hoping from this game, a more maturer direction for Sonic games. Though of course not that mature.

That's the point of rival character, to make the main character's shining.

In this case to make Eggman's shining.
He's always mostly losing to Sonic so it's a nice thing to see him winning over his new rival in a glorious way despite Starline's almost perfect plan.
Despite it's succeed or not, Finitevus or Snively's plan is weak compared to what Starline's.

Him being a delivery boy was my proposed idea for a Season 3 story arc of Sonic Boom. Where Team Sonic gets stranded in the big city and get by as couriers.

Sound nice, although as for me I'll just be happy with a cameo appearance but in every episode. All of them.

The fangame, has been in development for roughly five years, and completely remakes the Game Gear adventure with brand new levels, remade music, brand new bosses and special stages, a plot that recontextualizes the game as a follow up to Sonic & Knuckles, and even a fully fleshed out multiplayer mode with multiple game play types and a campaign!
The game also has it’s share of brand new surprises for anyone familiar with the Game Gear original.

I guess so. It was a win for Dr. Eggman when he normally loses to Sonic. I just wouldn't choose Starline over it. I still can't help but feel most of the IDW characters are replacement to Archie characters which would make it hard for fans to expect much else from them.
Sound nice, although as for me I'll just be happy with a cameo appearance but in every episode. All of them.
Well, Can't have a Sonic show without Sonic.
But I bet it'll still be "Collect 2000 Chaos Drives to unlock Shadow".
I'd like to be proven wrong of course.
Me too. Grinding is repetitive and gets boring quick. While the Tornado event was repetitive given we had to repeat the course over and over to grind for Buzz Bombers, at least the ranking system made it competitive. I was satisfied when I got an S-Rank for the one and only time.
Yeah, although whether he enjoyed it or not, that's a different matter.

Legit question, how would you feel if Sonic Team released, the very least a spin-off continuity of Sonic the Hedgehog that's more catered to an older audience? Maybe more gritty, maybe with Amy being older and curvier or Rouge being a bit more promiscuous?

I thought of something similar but going as far to rebrand Sonic as a kamaitachi (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamaitachi) instead of a hedgehog, as well as other Sonic characters animals replaced as yokai.

Yeah, could be worse than the characters they replace since from the rumour I heard the new mandate is Sonic couldn't lose to comic-only characters.
So probably Sonic would never lose to Surge or Starline.
Surge still could have win over other characters though (Metal Sonic, Chaotix, Tangle, Whispers)

It's better than Sonic Chaos & Sonic G
and lot easier than Sonic 1&2 8-Bit version.

They want us to collect all stage playsets.

More mandates? Didn't Sega learn nothing from choking Archie with mandates? And if this mandate is true then, well, I guess we cal always expect Sonic to win regardless then. The steaks and perils mean nothing if we know he's going to win in the end regardless.

The mandates is how they learn not to let the writer's imagination went uncheck.
The mandates came after Ken Pender legal issues.

Unlike back then, nowadays they are too costly to make now.
With so many competitors right now, popular toys tend to have more expensive licenses.
Those high cost licenses get transferred to the buyers and most buyers (that aren't colectors) tend to go to the cheaper option.

The mandates is how they learn not to let the writer's imagination went uncheck.
The mandates came after Ken Pender legal issues.
There were mandates before his legal issues as well, lots of them. And more were added afterwards. Sonic can't cry, Sonic can only be friends with others, Sonic can't be related to anyone not even his own uncle etc.
Why it sounds like X-Men?
With mutants as minority?

(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/56/4d/d9/564dd9465754f77bf98dc1144d3e1a51.jpg)
I haven't read the IDW TMNT comics but I've seen bits of it. The mutants in TMNT are all animal people.
(https://i.redd.it/776ee3rpdti71.jpg)
Unlike back then, nowadays they are too costly to make now.
With so many competitors right now, popular toys tend to have more expensive licenses.
Those high cost licenses get transferred to the buyers and most buyers (that aren't colectors) tend to go to the cheaper option.
Yeah but, we live in a time of 3D printing, surely toy manufacturing has become a bit easier since then.

I meant mandates about Sonic can't lose to Comic only characters. Sonic can lose to Eggman, Metal, Shadow, etc but not to comic only characters. Rumour said Ken wanted Sonic loses to Geoffrey St. John that's worse than before, even make Geoffrey took Sally's virginity first before Sonic. SEGA didn't allow it and make mandates about who Sonic can lose to.

IDW version is kinda good actually. Some of these animal people also show up as cameo in their newes beat em up games.

I'm glad Penders didn't have Geoffrey porked the princess. Some even pointed out she would be under aged though it varies between 16-18 through various states.

All in all, my only concern is how many mandates IDW comics has. I'm concerned too many mandates my choke creative freedom of the comics. Like that stupid rule Sonic is not allowed to express rage or crying.

True. Imagine a Sonic spin-off in same style as this? Something more for older fans who grew up with the franchise. That doesn't mean we can't enjoy the main series stuff just be nice to have something where GUN is allowed to fire actual weapons or Rouge not afraid to have a bit of cleavage.

Yeah, and the funny thing ... mandates to fan favorite character, Shadow, is a lot more than Sonic.
Ian Flynn has stated that his least favorite character to write for is Shadow.
This is due to all the mandates surrounding him.
And sometimes SEGA's kinda vague too. For example :

Q : Ian, do Shadow and Rouge have any romantic feelings for each other or are they just friends?
Ian Flynn : According to Sega, neither.

Quote
Everyone, are you enjoying Sonic Origins?🔵💨

We asked producer Nobuya Ohashi and director Katsuyuki Shigihara all sorts of questions about the game! The interview will be divided into four installments, so stay tuned for each release!
To start things off, we asked Producer Ohashi and Director Shigihara about when they first encountered Sonic, what notable memories they have from the games, and who their favorite characters are.

🗣️Producer Ohashi
When I lived in America, I could hear game music coming from my downstairs neighbor at my apartment. I didn't know which game the music belonged to, but I thought the songs sounded really nice. Later, I went to a store that had a Genesis (Mega Drive) on display that was playing the Green Hill Zone BGM, and I immediately recognized it as the song I'd heard so many times at my apartment! I bought a Genesis and Sonic on that day, and that was my first encounter with the franchise.
My favorite character is Dr. Eggman. Although he's a villain, he has a comical side to him that I find very endearing.

🗣️Director Shigihara
I first encountered Sonic when I was in elementary school. My neighbor was playing the Chemical Plant Zone stage in Sonic 2, and I remember being shocked at how unthinkably fast Sonic was moving, and I was impressed by how well my neighbor was controlling him. I have been involved with Sonic ever since joining Sega in 2010, and my first project was Sonic Colors.
My favorite game is Sonic 2 because it was the first Sonic title I laid my eyes upon, and also because I really like Tails.

It's probably back to mandates again.
It goes to show how hypocritical Sega seems to have become when it comes to these mandates. Shadow may not always get along with Sonic and his friends but he definitely has a friendship with Rouge and E-123 Omega.
I don't regard Shadow and Rouge romantically involved though. The very least perhaps they have "benefits" with their friendship but it be completely platonic, I imagine Rouge is somewhat of a gold digger (or in her case, "emerald" digger" given she's been after Knuckles family jewels for awhile.
Nice!!!
Its a genuine remark. I prefer the Dreamcast-era item boxes (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/File:Item_box_expo.png) over the Modern-era item boxes (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/File:Item_Box_in_Sonic_Runners.png).
The Dreamcast-era item box has a degree of tech which is somewhat of a call back to the Classic-era item boxes which most affectionately call "monitors" due to looking like computer screens. So the degree of technology in these item boxes look good for it. And the fact the monitor is replaced with a glass capsule with a holographic display for the icon makes it easy to identify the content of the item box at most 360° angle around it.
The Modern-era item boxes just look bland and plastic to me. Like one of those gachapon capsules but with blobs of plastic on top and bottom. Looks bland, somewhat ugly, meh.

That's what we thought, a friend.
But SEGA said no.
Guess SEGA treats Shadow like Vegeta.
He never considered anyone as friend even though he's hanging out with them.
His royalty bloodline always think him superior than others.
Back to Shadow ... he's not a royalty, why must he acted that way?

My reason is kinda bias.
I like the Dreamcas era just because of nostalgia reason.

Not only is Sonic's ridiculous costume returning, but we're also getting ones for Tails, Knuckles, Eggman (who looks amazing), and Super Sonic!
These will all be available in the in-game store during the event, as well as Sonic's iconic foot tap as an emote.
So you can taunt all your friends online mercilessly.
The event runs from 11th to 15th August, so you'll really have to go fast to get all of those costumes.

To refuse to participate in the tourney with him is one thing, but because he wants to be present for the birth of his daughter is understandable. Goku going to a major tournament that decides the fate of the world is like a fan going to their favorate convention. So it's understandble if you've been planning to go to a convention with your friend for years only for them to flake on you because their kid is expected any day now, it's completely understandable. I can't let that tarnish a friendship over such reason.
Yeah, nostalgia also the things that made people mad over tiny thing like .... Carnival Night Zone music in Origins.
Well, me included.
Nostalgia is marketable if done right. Just ask Disney and Nintendo. Half of their success is pioneering of what they made in the '80s and '90s.
It'll be a hard fight though in 2024.

No offense to Jesus but I don't really think Sonic has to worry about that. While Christianity is still the leading religion, with our way of lives being more cultural mixed than it was the last few decades means more people of variety of religions or branches of atheism. That said I imagine Jesus' movie will be more popular amongst the Christian demography than the general audience. Unlike Sonic movies which seems to be popular for general movie-goers who know only so much on Sonic.

I myself ID as an atheist but lean towards agnosticism. Whenever Jesus still has a state of existence to this day we cannot comprehend, I don't know myself. I mean, I believe Jesus was a real person who lived a long time a go. Whenever his gifts were divine or alien I don't know but I believe they were genuine and I've heard stories of near death experience of coma dreams of people of different faiths outside of Christianity who claimed they met Jesus, that Jesus is looking out for us all regardless of our faiths or way of life, or that he will help certain individuals if they just believe and ask for him or something like that.

As an atheist, I don't believe everything religious tells us. But as an agnostic I believe there could be some elements of truth to these stories or there are simply established facts and truths that are beyond our comprehension of our perception of reality.

But I'm going off on a doddle, I'm just saying the only people who would watch Jesus' movie would be the Ned Flanders type.

To refuse to participate in the tourney with him is one thing, but because he wants to be present for the birth of his daughter is understandable. Goku going to a major tournament that decides the fate of the world is like a fan going to their favorate convention. So it's understandble if you've been planning to go to a convention with your friend for years only for them to flake on you because their kid is expected any day now, it's completely understandable. I can't let that tarnish a friendship over such reason.

Vegeta is just being normal, I guess.
Goku is the odd one then.
He 's rarely around with his kids in order to train himself.

Nostalgia is marketable if done right. Just ask Disney and Nintendo. Half of their success is pioneering of what they made in the '80s and '90s.

I'm a Catholic but I didn't even watch this movie back then.
I never like gore movies and I thought the torture scenes were probably too intense for me to bear.
But I did watch Little Buddha even though I'm not a Buddhist.
I always like a movie about enlightment.

Also the movie got $612 million on Box office back then, definitely lot more than Sonic or Sonic 2 got.
The Passion of the Christ: Resurrection is probably safer to watch than the prequel since it's the aftermath so it could attract more audiences.

I tend to avoid Christian movies because they go way hammy with the miracles scenes. Jesus performs a miracle and there's visable golden light and glorious music playing and such etc as if trying to hammer in why you should praise and worship him.

I dunno, I mean, I think Jesus wanted to love us all unconditionally. Jesus was Jewish and he even traveled East and got to know people of other faiths such as Buddhism. Jesus perhaps had higher awareness and wisdom than anyone else but do you think he knew Christianity would be a thing after his death? Would he had want it? Especially given how Christianity, Catholicism and Islamic faiths are so divided but so hated amongst one another? It's why I believe we're better off without religion.

A musical movie, but still the most normal one.
A movie where Jesus was kinda desperate to why his pupils couldn't understand his teaching.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ej8YumsC5VQ

Jesus : "Love everyone unconditionally!"
Simon : "Even to Rome who rape our country? No way, dude."

I also love face-palm Judas in that song.
Judas' probably the only one who got Jesus' messages at that time, but his anger to the blind followers made him take a drastic turn.

Have you ever hear about the Third Jesus?

Deepak Chopra (New Age Writer and one of Michael Jackson's Spiritual Guru) explained :

The first is the historical Jesus, the man of flesh and blood who lived more than two thousand years ago.

(https://i.pinimg.com/236x/95/94/04/959404b468dcf1a2d7a2ba083cab64b6--film-jesus.jpg)

The second Jesus is a person who never lived but is a figure created by the Church to represent thousands of years of theology and Church teaching.

(https://i.pinimg.com/236x/11/15/65/1115654d90b285786446f5ef929dabf7.jpg)

Behind these two images stands a third Jesus, the radical, mystical teacher who taught his followers how to change the world.
This Third Jesus speaks to anyone who believes in the importance of peace and love.
Anyone, no matter what his/her race, religion, or belief is.
This third Jesus is the one that somehow I accept most.

We asked the developers about their recommended stages from Sonic 1 and SONIC CD and what parts shouldn't be missed out on💡

🔷Sonic 1
Everything started here. The first stage, Green Hill Zone, is a famous level that has been remade in other titles. Another great stage is the challenging and blindingly fast Star Light Zone!

🔷Sonic CD
A prominent feature of this game is its time travel mechanic. Levels take place in the past, present, "bad future", and "good future". Players can unlock the "good future" by traveling to the "past" and destroying Eggman's hidden transporter. These transporters are present in every zone. Destroy all of them in order to unlock the game's best ending!

We asked the developers about their recommended stages from Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 & Knuckles and what parts shouldn't be missed out on💡

🔷Sonic 2
You can transform into Super Sonic after collecting the seven Chaos Emeralds. Entering the special stages is fairly simple, and obtaining the Chaos Emeralds is easy if you remember the locations of the rings. Collect all of them and experience Super Sonic's ultimate speed!

🔷Sonic 3 & Knuckles
This is a game with an engaging story. While there is no dialogue present, you can watch climactic scenes such as the one where Knuckles gets betrayed by Dr. Eggman. Make sure to take in the plot while you play! In the Museum, there's also a handwritten spec sheet for Mecha Sonic, who makes an appearance in the Sky Sanctuary Zone. Check it out before playing to appreciate the story even more!

In this fourth and final installment, we asked the team about projects currently under development and what sort of challenges they would like to undertake in the future💡

💬Please tell us about any memorable moments from the development period.

🗣️While we were creating Sonic Origins, we often consulted with producer Takashi Iizuka about the game content and Sonic's character. Iizuka is a Sonic fan first and foremost, and witnessing his ability to integrate the fans' perspective into the development process was quite memorable.

💬If you had the opportunity to remaster more titles in the future, what areas would you like to improve?

🗣️We would like to make the Museum much more grand and full of features! There are many unpublished Sonic materials buried somewhere at SEGA Corporation, and we'd love to find and implement them into the game!

Hm, breaking down the concept of Jesus intro three parts does make sense. Though I can regard first and third Jesus as one of the same. As an atheist I can't explain the process around his resurrection and ascension but I do believe that First Jesus became Third Jesus while second Jesus is what modern Christianity wants you to believe in.

Well, album is not wrong since it's an opera / musical live stage actually.
It adapted to cinema screen and had some albums.
Some of my Catholic friends hate it because Jesus is too "human" there but that's what made me like it more.
Also who could forget the silly King Herod song with Rik Mayall.

I guess if we are not purist historian, third Jesus is first Jesus' aftermath could be acceptable.

Some of my Catholic friends hate it because Jesus is too "human" there but that's what made me like it more.
Also who could forget the silly King Herod song with Rik Mayall.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaOfBQ5uw6M (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaOfBQ5uw6M)

I guess if we are not purist historian, third Jesus is first Jesus' aftermath could be acceptable.
I watched the first one and I actually liked it. I think depicting Jesus as "human" is a very important thing because Jesus is suppose to be God in a human incarnation. He walked a lifetime in our shoes.
Still, should of watched the one with Rik Mayall. I backed the wrong horse.

Though while I did said I didn't like Jesus movies, there was one movie adaption of Jesus I did like. It's called The Miracle Maker (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Miracle_Maker_(1999_film)). Yes it's preachy like most Jesus movies but I love the animation too much to be an atheist about it. I love Stanislav Sokolov's stop-motion puppet animation. Practically on par with Tim Burton.

I also watched Shakespeare and the The Animated Tales and Testament   The Bible in Animation.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 movie plot points and new characters revealed

(https://c.tenor.com/PKcmJCYsERAAAAAC/sonic2-eggman.gif)

Quote
Tails’ Channel claims that two verified anonymous sources have told them “the synopsis was incorrect, and not indicative of Paramount’s current plans for the upcoming theatrical release”.
Here’s my take: This does not invalidate all the information nor does it mean that this information is false. It is likely Production Weekly’s information is from earlier work on the film that has since evolved.
Also, I find it odd that these sources claim the synopsis is incorrect given it is exactly what the Sonic 2 mid-credits scene sets up for a third film, yet they do not confirm or deny the mention of various characters.

IT's got stop motion puppets, really good stop motion.

And if they want more, might I recommend Testament: The Bible Animation. You can watch them all here (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLF8EPXdXcMjwLS_fCsIjUrOEfhg5MrV_P).

HA! I'm an atheist-agnostic recommending biblical shows! Still, I just like the quality of the animation, and whenever you believe the stories or not they're still good stories.

The new OpenFPGA feature recently made available to Pocket owners with firmware update version 1.1 beta.
In short, this allows developers to make all new “cores” for the Pocket’s FPGA hardware, allowing it to run games from other retro game hardware it was not originally intended to replicate.
This is an official update from Analogue, which they’ve made clear since the Pocket’s original announcement was something they’d always intended for it to have, even if it couldn’t be there on release.
Now that it’s finally here, the first new community developed cores included ones made to run Sega Game Gear, Master System, and SG-1000 games, created by spiritualized1997.
You can download these straight from their Github page.

Excellent, I never really liked the gameplay in the sequels... except gears in Zero Gravity and how they unlocked additional abilities when you level up, other than that nerfing slipstreams and making the boards gravity powered made the game less intense for me.

So, it's like fans upgrade / update for the first one? No HUD, no motion blur on screen.

They added more in the sequels but sacrificing the gameplays.
But it was the gameplay that made it feel more fast and intense.

Here's Dr. Eggman on Metal City from Sonic Riders. (http://y2u.be/HO-JsWrDvzQ) (No HUD, no motion blur on screen.)
Here's Tails on Megalo Station from Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity. (http://y2u.be/eolhud51k_w) (as it is, with HUD and blur effects.)

Is it me or even without it's screen effects the gameplay in Sonic Riders looks more faster and exciting than it does for Zero Gravity. Am I right about this or am I just crazy at these differences I'm noticing?

And given the first game makes use of a funnel of air that trails behind you when you're fast means your opponents can take the advantage meaning you have to work hard to keep your position, but isn't this disadvantage more fair than say, a blue shell?

Introducing the third iteration of the Sonic Collection featuring five new characters, Dr. Eggman, Amy Rose, Dark Chao, Chao, plus one Collectors Edition Super Sonic.
Each figure features multiple colored gem stones that are the exact color matches as the Sega® Sonic video game series.
One of the most iconic characters in this release is the self proclaimed girlfriend of Sonic the Hedgehog, Amy Rose.
Her beautiful pink stoned bust shines brightly and has the perfect flat back side which makes it easy to wear daily.
Dr. Eggman is remarkably defined by its extended orange tone mustache.
The chao characters are full body, three dimensional, and exquisitly vibrant - they exhibit the King Ice style to a tee, truly wearable art.

Sage sounded much better with her voice.

That's rather provocative claim, given Sonic games are on multi-platforms.

Bloomberg interviewer was actually from another universe where Microsoft bought SEGA after Dreamcast era ended.

Also I pre-ordered Frontiers Deluxe.

It's kinda expensive ($70 deluxe, 60$ standard) than usual Sonic games ($45 deluxe, 40$ standard) so I hope the game's really worth it.

Edit : And now it's there again...

I got mine from Steam for £60.

So I checked the local store
physical (Asian version) pe-order is somehow cheaper than digital one
($40 vs $60, that's a lot of difference).
It even has keychain bonus.

I want it... but it's also £60! Why is it the same price as a deluxe Sonic game?

"Pre-order" merchandises usually are more expensive.
Just wait until few days after it's released and the price will go down
(assuming it wouldn't be sold out first).

Just wait until few days after it's released and the price will go down

Comment from Sonic Series Producer at SEGA, Takashi Iizuka

“Since its launch in April, Sonic Speed Simulator has seen a massively positive response from the global Roblox community, and I’m so happy to see a new fanbase growing in the Metaverse. With Sonic’s popularity spreading around the world with audiences both young and old following the release of the film series, I hope that more fans will enjoy the world of Sonic with the release of Sonic Frontiers later this year!”

Cyberspace zones are what Iizuka describes as "the digital expression of the worlds in the memories of Sonic the Hedgehog."
So when you go into the portal, he says, "it's a world that's created from Sonic's memories, the places that he's been to like Sanctuary, Green Hill, and so on - Cyberspace is creating a world based off of his memories.

I admit it's kinda cheap them copy-pasting stages from...what I presume from Sonic Generations.
But I'm glad Sonic Engine 2 is able to handle them now given I've complained in the past why Sonic Forces couldn't simply be recycled from Sonic Generations.
Plus, it proves my point that Sonic Generations is best modern Sonic game if Sonic Team are copying from their own homework.

Still, I'm hoping for some original Cyber Space stages.

ALso, what are your thoughts on Koco? They remind me of a cross between Koroks (https://zelda.fandom.com/wiki/Korok) and Gyroids (https://animalcrossing.fandom.com/wiki/Gyroid_(species)).

"Summer Sonic"
is a Japan event (https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjttp38wvL5AhUg6nMBHTKKD18QFnoECAgQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.summersonic.com%2Fen%2F&usg=AOvVaw0HOdzGmgy2CIvUw0-3uDoM),
some kind a big music festival, a major one in Japan.
The use of "Sonic" name was just a coincidence back then,
didn't have relation with our beloved Sonic the Hedgehog.
But then SEGA became one of the sponsors of the event,
and Sonic the Hedgehog started showing up there.

Not to be mistaken with SEGA of Europe's "Summer of Sonic" of course.
I don't think it'll happen this year.

I like those Koco.
And yeah their expression look like Gyroid
Koco might be replacement of Chao or Tim in this world, but without the raising mini games.
We uses to find Chao everywhere in SA1 and SA2 or Tim everywhere in Balan Wonderworld.

Uncle has just bought "SEGA Mega Drive" with his income as a YouTuber.
While playing the game, he triumphantly explains how to defeat the enemy.
He says that the experience he gained from playing SEGA games was useful even in a different world, and he begins to talk about when he cooperated with the novice adventurer Alicia and her party to subjugate a horde of goblins.
On the other hand, Takafumi, who goes out to deliver Fujimiya's smartphone she forgot to bring, witnesses Fujimiya walking with a Yankee.
He borrows the power of magic from her uncle and goes to help, but...

John Carpenter loves ‘Fallout’ and ‘Sonic’, finds ‘Red Dead Redemption’ too hard

Quote
Speaking to the New Yorker, Carpenter started by saying how “I love all the movies that I made, but I also love stopping and relaxing, too – watching basketball, for instance, or playing video games.”
He went on to explain how he “came to video games in 1992, with Sonic the Hedgehog. That’s where I started, and I fell in love with it. It was beyond me at that point.”

May be like what Flash does.
When he moves his hands so fast, some kind of wind energy came out from them.

I honestly hope not. The Flash is already OP fast to the point what he can do with the Speed Force boarders on ridiculous. Sonic may not be as fast as the Flash but at least his speed and what he can do with it is in reason.
In Sonic Frontiers, it looks like Sonic is just holding his palms up than anything that would generate wind. I think maybe Starfall Islands is either a Matrix (https://matrix.fandom.com/wiki/Matrix)-like digital world that he is on or all the islands are actually a supercomputer than grants Sonic these powers.
"Summer Sonic" is a Japan event (https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjttp38wvL5AhUg6nMBHTKKD18QFnoECAgQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.summersonic.com%2Fen%2F&usg=AOvVaw0HOdzGmgy2CIvUw0-3uDoM),
some kind a big music festival, a major one in Japan.
The use of "Sonic" name was just a coincidence back then,
didn't have relation with our beloved Sonic the Hedgehog.
But then SEGA became one of the sponsors of the event,
and Sonic the Hedgehog started showing up there.

Not to be mistaken with SEGA of Europe's "Summer of Sonic" of course.
I don't think it'll happen this year.
Oh that's a relief. I'd be heartbroken if there were Sonic conventions in UK I could not at least try to attend.
https://matrix.fandom.com/wiki/Matrix
I like those Koco.
And yeah their expression look like Gyroid
Koco might be replacement of Chao or Tim in this world, but without the raising mini games.
We uses to find Chao everywhere in SA1 and SA2 or Tim everywhere in Balan Wonderworld.

I doubt the Koco will replace the chao. Chao are just too popular despite little to no interaction with them since the Dreamcast-era.

I said "in this world", Frontiers world.
It would be weird if there are Chao there.
Also if there are Chao there,
fans would also asking for the raising and mini games too in Frontiers.

It would depend on how useful these moves would be regarded in the future. Most of them look kinda "flashy" if you ask me when something as simple as the homing attack has done fine all these years.

I believe Frontiers take place on Earth, or the very leats a digital world that's on Earth.

This does cover a bit more information on Sonic Frontiers and it maybe likely to take place on Earth.

A theory of mine is that if SOnic Chronicles backstory is still canon then maybe Starfall Islands was the original homelands of the Nocturnus Clan before Nocturne was ripped from the heart of these islands.

The cyloop I understand, it reminds me of the paraloop in a way.
(https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/nid/images/8/8c/Paraloop_Master.gif)
It's just those flashy anime fighting moves he does against the enemy that require micro cutscenes to observe. Yes they're flashy but do we really need them?
Just my thought of him.
Like if people mention George Lucas,
people would always thought about Star Wars,
but for me Indiana Jones would be first thing that's coming to my mind.

Yes.. To attract new players who love flashy things in Demon Slayer or Persona games...
Besides... you don't have to use those moves if you don't want to.
I think having many options are good.

Old people still do.
Younger generation may have transitioned to online thing but old people tend to avoid subscription things (probably because their income aren't fixed as it used to be).

It is good. Hopefully not dumb options like what Forces had.

From what I understand, Penders did not win the case nor did Sega loose. They simply met with a stalemate. However Penders may file another lawsuit if Sega ever used the Marauders again. I simply regard the Marauders still canon just no longer in use. Like Nack, Bark or Bean.

I misplaced mine somewhere.

I guess. I mean third place is like being a top loser in a way.

Yeah, but at that time Archie couldn't find the contract he signed stating that they own any and all characters he made (and the likeness) so lawsuit potential still always exist.

I simply regard the Marauders still canon just no longer in use. Like Nack, Bark or Bean.

Nack, Bark or Bean were created by SEGA of Japan though,
not outside of them (comic companies or animated tv series company)
so they're still considered canon.

I mean third place is like being a top loser in a way.

At least Sonic was 1st place two weeks before and 2nd place one week before.
He's dropping slowly~

Yeah. I miss going to local gamestore too and finding game that I've never seen before.
Nowadays I know all new games from internet and when I bought games, I bought them online.

Sonic 3D Blast (Genesis) was one of them back then, seen it first time on my local gamestore.
It was an instabuy since I liked isometric view games and I love how smooth the graphic was on CRT screen.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4_ht1gL9eo (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4_ht1gL9eo)

SEGAbits: First of all, how did you become a Sonic fan, any cool memories you can share?

Noah Copeland: Remember when stores had those game demo kiosks where the controller was down low and the screen was 12 feet in the air? I cranked my neck to a demo of Sonic Adventure 2: Battle once. The music, the attitude, the stunts, the camera work, the action, the gameplay… it was everything my ten year old brain could have wanted! I was hooked. But I couldn’t afford a Game Cube, so I found a CD-ROM the next aisle over. It was Sonic 3 & Knuckles for Windows 95. It was the first game I ever bought.

Yeah, but at that time Archie couldn't find the contract he signed stating that they own any and all characters he made (and the likeness) so lawsuit potential still always exist.
He owned the original concept of the characters but he doesn't own Sega's take on echidnas. In his "Lara-Su Chronicles" while they bare some vague resemblance to mobians (either vague on purpose or simply he's bad at art) instead they are a completely original species of aliens called "Echyd'nya" which totally sound nothing like and completely original from echidna.
Also, he doesn't own the Marauders... he simply thinks he does.
Nack, Bark or Bean were created by SEGA of Japan though,
not outside of them (comic companies or animated tv series company)
so they're still considered canon.
True, but I doubt any of them will have any major use in Sonic games. I doubt they'll show up in Frontiers.
At least Sonic was 1st place two weeks before and 2nd place one week before.
He's dropping slowly~

He's going... slow? Blasphemous!
Yeah. I miss going to local gamestore too and finding game that I've never seen before.
Nowadays I know all new games from internet and when I bought games, I bought them online.

Sonic 3D Blast (Genesis) was one of them back then, seen it first time on my local gamestore.
It was an instabuy since I liked isometric view games and I love how smooth the graphic was on CRT screen.

I miss going with my friend and picking out DVDs for us to watch and discussing what we feel like watching. I would also sometimes rent video games from there. I recall renting out Bayonetta for the week... or was it weekend? I can't recall. I just recall finishing it before returning it.

Quote
SEGAbits: A lot of people peering from the outside never realise how tough it is just to construct such a massive labour of love, especially when it comes to a fangame. What was the toughest thing you had to endure when making it?

Noah Copeland: The level design was very hard but I can’t overemphasise the never-ending, indefinite nature of fan games. You’re not getting paid, you’re never going to get paid and neither are your collaborators. You have no deadlines that aren’t self-imposed. Online, you have a lot of people telling you, “this will never be finished, like every other fan game.” In your personal life, people are saying, “are you still working on that game thing of yours?” Many times, I just couldn’t see the end.
It took five years and it looked like it was never going to be done. Finding the motivation to fight through that was tough. But when I started the project, I told myself that no matter what, I was going to finish it. Whether it turned out any good or not, I was going to finish it. And I did.

Sonic Hoshi is a 2D fan game that fits in-between the story of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and 3.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhLMqkef-O4

Quote
After collecting the seven Chaos Emeralds and defeating the Death Egg, Sonic and his new friend, Tails, are attacked by a familiar foe, Metal Sonic!
Metal knocks the seven emeralds out of Sonic, striking down Tails' Bi-Plane, the Tornado, as the duo crash land on the unfamiliar Starshine Island.
Upon arrival, Sonic and Tails notice that their surroundings have been trampled by Badniks, while the nefarious Dr. Robotnik appears to be multiple steps ahead.
Robotnik has begun the investigation of the island's mysterious shrine, A temple containing a powerful entity known as the Celestial Star.
Rumour has it this star can rival the power of the Chaos Emeralds when fully powered, but it’s a race to see who can power and retrieve the Celestial Star first!

This game was designed for PC only, and has 2 separate playable characters, Sonic and Tails.

Given SEGA promoted that song more than this, it's making sense people though it was, but no, this is the main song.
Given I find theme songs somewhat represent Sonic in his current mindset of himself and the adventure, it just sounds so.. I dunno, like the frontier means not just where he's going but who he is, that he's coming to realize himself or something. I mean, I doubt SonAmy will be a legit thing at the end but given he's directly saving Amy (and Tails) as the "ones I love" where he usually just mince words to refer to them as good friends. I dunno.

The more I learn of Sonic Frontiers, the more it sounds like aliens got a hold of Sonic Generations and with what they know about our worlds culture made this game for us.

May be Sonic is just shy so he said "good friends" when others around.
But when in his friends in danger, his true feelings show,
that's why he doesn't hold back his feelings and what he said anymore.
Welp, that sounds more like Boom Sonic than game Sonic.

I guess. I have a feeling Sonic Frontiers will not just be a brand new adventure for Sonic but a brand new direction for the Sonic series as a whole, a "frontier" in the franchise so to speak. The game itself already feels rather different to what we grew accustomed to since Unleashed.

So on SNN, there is concerns that Sega will still be doing NFTs (https://sonic.fandom.com/f/p/4400000000000158235). Is there any truth to that? I want to believe these rumours are false and have sources to back them up.

Bad news.... it's becoming a truth now...

First look at Big The Cat & Chaos 0 from Wave 11 of the Sonic The Hedgehog JAKKS Pacific 4” line.

(https://i.ibb.co/8KNSdQM/Chaos-Big.jpg)

Quote
The listings were spotted on the Smyths Toys website in the UK, with a release date (at least in this country) of March 2023; US stores will likely see these figures stocked even earlier.
Since the launch of the game in 1998, this will be the first time Chaos Version 0 has seen an action figure incarnation.
The figure also appears to be transluscent, to emulate the liquid composition of the character.

I believe if Sonic Team really wanted to make a Sonic Adventure 3, they should consider remaking Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 first.
Think about it. We older veteran fans know what the Adventure games are, some of them played them for the Dreamcast and GameCube. But when they were released for PC they did not get rather praising reviews and over time Sonic Team concentrated their market on todays younger, more impressionable audience. So there will be some young, fairly new Sonic fans who may never heard of the Adventure games or regard them too old to be of interest of them.

Heck, I didn't know CyberPunk was a pen and paper tabletop RPG before the console game.

This is why we had Sonic Origins of late, to reintroduce the classic games to the younger audience and make them appealing to them.

That's true. Frontiers remind me and a lot of others of Breath of the Wild and at this point it's just inevitable.
Or may be they're just not wanted to be left alone.
Well NFTs are phasing out of interest because more people are becoming aware of how much of a scam they are. So if Sega really are going behind NFTs hopefully they will quitely pull out of it when they realise it's a bust.

Sonic Frontiers latest gameplay trailer showcases Super Sonic within the open zone setting powering up upon collecting all seven emeralds.
Just as Chaos intended.
While it remains to be seen if you can play as Super Sonic while just running around and exploring the islands, his appearance in an open zone boss battle is a good sign.

Co-writer Pat Casey revealed Shadow is "driven by anger and revenge" and that Sonic's attempts to befriend Shadow won't go as smoothly as they did with Knuckles.
"Sonic's never had to deal with someone as emotionally damaged like Shadow...when he sees Shadow, he’s like, 'Well, I'll just teach him about the power of friendship, like with Knuckles!' But that's not going to work on Shadow," he told the Green Hill Zone podcast.

WOAH! So is Super Sonic going to be unlocked some point in the game as part as overall gameplay or were we just spoiled for the final boss of the game?
Agree, they could name it Sonic Origins 2.
Something like this but with Sonic games of course :

(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/c0/96/09/c09609e6b2acbc082bed137701fafbf2.jpg)

Consists 3 games : Sonic Adventure 1, Sonic Adventure 2, and I don't know Sonic R? Or Sonic Heroes?
Maybe include Sonic Heroes but I'd settle if it's just remakes as Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 releases as a compilation.
And it should be a proper remake! Not just getting some third party developer to rebuild existing games from the ground up and not even test it for quality like Colours Ultimate and Origins.

Or if they already invest in them, I hope it's not much.
Still, NFTs are a mistake. Who's to say I can't copy-paste official licenced images from Sonic Team to sell my NFTs? After all I'm not selling the picture, you don't own the rights to the picture, just the NFT. And I don't really know why people want NFTs, are they a form of currency or just something to boast about?

I'm very curious at how they're going to adapt this SA2 plot into this live action, Earth-based movie.

I mean, instead of City Escape and Prison Island I'm kinda hoping they just use San Francisco and Alcatatraz. That's what City Escape and Prison Island were based on and these movies are suppose to take place on an Earth much like ours so makes sense that from all the cities Sonic should escape from it's San Francisco.

WOAH! So is Super Sonic going to be unlocked some point in the game as part as overall gameplay or were we just spoiled for the final boss of the game?

Or second playthrough? Like new game plus is using Super Sonic?
We still don't know yet. Nothing's been confirmed.

Quote
Maybe include Sonic Heroes but I'd settle if it's just remakes as Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 releases as a compilation.
And it should be a proper remake! Not just getting some third party developer to rebuild existing games from the ground up and not even test it for quality like Colours Ultimate and Origins. There's plenty of fan games that recreate the Adventure formula, hell Sonic Speed Simulator nailed it down perfectly. There's no excuses at this point.

If it's a remake then it'd probably handled by third party.
Sonic Team's resources are already busy and focusing on making new Sonic games.

Still, NFTs are a mistake. Who's to say I can't copy-paste official licenced images from Sonic Team to sell my NFTs? After all I'm not selling the picture, you don't own the rights to the picture, just the NFT. And I don't really know why people want NFTs, are they a form of currency or just something to boast about?

All they care about are money and investment.
Hoping that someday they could sell it again what they bought in a higher price.

Fans of the Saturn and Dreamcast eras fondly recall lovely little animated logos with sound effects as they started up games like NiGHTS into Dreams and Sonic Adventure.
But starting with Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic Team’s logo was simply a static image on a black background.
Even big name titles like Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) and Sonic Unleashed opted for a plain static logo, often being upstaged by a cute animated logo for the Hedgehog Engine.
But after the success of ...

I do like the idea of a special mode unlocked just for Super Sonic. Maybe an Extra Hard mode but Super Sonic is exclusively available for it.
If it's a remake then it'd probably handled by third party.
Sonic Team's resources are already busy and focusing on making new Sonic games.
Third Party developers had better luck making games for Sega other than Sonic. Sonic Mania was the only game that came out great. Origins and Colours Ultimate... not so much. From all the modern games they could remake, they wasted it on a glitchy remake of Colours.
All they care about are money and investment.

Yeah but NFTs are literally nothing. NFTs are only valuble to those that give a damn about them. Other than that they're worthless inside the market.

Other than San Francisco, Sonic visits other major locations in the world like Paris, Great Wall of China and Giza.

In Sonic Frontiers, there will be bosses that blue Sonic can't even scratch.
But if he collects and uses all seven Chaos Emeralds, he can become Super Sonic and then battle those bosses.
Becoming Super Sonic will be the only way to fight them."

By the looks of it, it looks like Super Sonic will serve a role similar to a Trance (https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Trance_(transformation_ability)) or Limit Break (https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Limit_Break_(ability)) for Sonic.

I don't mind lives being made redundant but I really think Sonic Team should repurpose 1-ups in Sonic games than just ditching them along with lives.

In Sonic Forces, while the game has infinite lives in penalizes your overall score whenever you die. I would keep 1-ups in the game and make them grant bonus points to your overall score of equal value to penalized points whenever you die. That way 1-ups can still be used without the need of a life system.

Really? I guess Sega has had hard luck licking the right third party developers. Not like they can complain if they can't be bothered to make their own games.

Not just new games, ports too.
Ports usually aren't handled by SEGA themselves.
For example, Steam port of console games.
Sonic Forces, Yakuza 0, and Valkyria Chronicles 4's ports to PC were handled by HARDLight and there were no problems at all.

I don't mind lives being made redundant but I really think Sonic Team should repurpose 1-ups in Sonic games than just ditching them along with lives.

It worked well indeed for achieving S in every Sonic Forces' levels.
Frontiers has open zone though, would the scoring system be available?

True. He probably regards Frontiers a sort of tribute to Breath of the WIld. And Nintendo likes it when Sega kisses the ring.

It's kinda like you're treating Sakurai as Shigeru Miyamoto.
Although he developed games for Nintendo, Masahiro Sakurai is not a Nintendo Employee.
Sakurai also isn't the maker or developer of Breath of the Wild, he had no obligation to compare Sonic to it.
If he want to compare Sonic, it would fit most to Kirby since he's the creator of Kirby.
Sakurai talked a lot about non Nintendo games too, for example he praises Horizon Zero Dawn too.

It worked well indeed for achieving S in every Sonic Forces' levels.
Frontiers has open zone though, would the scoring system be available?
I dunno. They already have Skill Points so why need regular points in general? And I doubt the game will use 1-ups let alone lives.
It's kinda like you're treating Sakurai as Shigeru Miyamoto.
Although he developed games for Nintendo, Masahiro Sakurai is not a Nintendo Employee.
Sakurai also isn't the maker or developer of Breath of the Wild, he had no obligation to compare Sonic to it.
If he want to compare Sonic, it would fit most to Kirby since he's the creator of Kirby.
Sakurai talked a lot about non Nintendo games too, for example he praises Horizon Zero Dawn too.

I'm not comparing Sakurai to Shigeru Miyamoto. Just feels like as long as Nintendo plays by sega's rules then Nintendo will let Sega have a longer leash.
Man, that was fast.

it is. Told you Speed Sim had it's flaws that I often exploit. Heck Metal Madness had an exploit that allowed me to freely explore the course and they fixed it but not before I took my time collecting them purple things.

Same with Metal City. I chose Big the Cat avatar and wondered around the city while raced whizz past me. I must had been quite the sight.

I don't mind bonus stages, I just hate Sonic 3 Special Stages and Blue Sphere. I'd rather it be pinball or Sonic Mania Special Stages or hell even Sonic 1 Special Stages.

Blue spheres made my head dizzy. I can't really stand it.

On console at least.
I only played Shenmue I & II and Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 on Steam. Shenmue seems to work alright but can't say the same for Sonic Adventure 1 and 2.
Sonic Adventure is just a mess to the point it took the community to make a BetterSADX (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=299808681) to fix most of it. But at least it runs, unlike Sonic Adventure 2 which barely runs on modern computers. I mean, my copy of SA2B on Steam just doesn't run at all now and I dunno how to fix it.

There will be new collectibles. Such as tokens, seeds, purple coins and what-not.
SEGA isn't just Sonic. Yakuza, maimai, Total War, Chunithm, Football Manager, PSO2, and Judgment are things that Nintendo wouldn't be able to catch up.
I don't think Nintendo feels threaten by Sega at all. Even Sonic Frontiers is obviously inspired by Breath of the Wild. By Nintendo's perspective that would make them the influencers.
It's kind of sad and ironic. Sega left the console market because they knew making their games accessable to multiple platforms would help sell well. But people still think Sega downgraded from consoles to software development while Nintendo still makes consoles and games exclusive to their own consoles, yet still have a Disney-like monopoly on the video game industry.

Would Sega be better off continue making consoles and rivaling Nintendo? Probably not given they were struggling to keep up with the industry and being multi-platformed means more games accessible to all. But despite my reluctance on buying a PS4-5 and a Switch, I would still buy the latest Sega console if it was still going because I know exactly what I'd be getting from it.
I see. I guess my kids and may be most of who played it never found that exploit.
Finding these exploits aren't that very hard though it helps if you're high-leveled. Speed Simulator gameplay is rather accurate to Sonic Adventure right down to physics and momentum so it's easy to launch yourself like a rocket off simple ledges. From fighting the right nichés in the boundaries of the stages you can find a few exploits.

You're better off with the Gamecube and Wii versions of these games. If you ever decide to play the Steam version of Sonic Adventure 1 I highly advice you to get BetterSADX mod for it. And if you get Sonic Adventure 2 for Steam, good luck getting it to run let alone at correct FPS speed. The FPS issue can easily be fixed though. Whenever the game will run or not is another issue.

Quote
I ended up clocking over 45 minutes on this demo and loved many moments to it, but there were some rough edges around it.
But for me, the positives outweighed the negatives so much that I was able to look past the annoying pop-in and the off-putting 2D physics because I was having so much fun with every other element of the game.
The bosses all have their own unique patterns that you have to consider and can have several ways to take them down.
The exploration that Sonic games were famed for is back but now, there is a reason to check every different route in the Open Zone and the combat felt fast and snappy.

It's intended for general mass I guess, who loves both movies / characters but never touch the games.
Not everyone is into video games so they never read any news of it and have no idea who owns who.

It's intended for general mass I guess, who loves both movies / characters but never touch the games.
Not everyone is into video games so they never read any news of it and have no idea who owns who.

SEGA Reveals Why the Sonic the Hedgehog Movies Were Approved

Sega made a name for itself in the early '90s by taking great risks. When the company entered the console business, many predicted Sega was doomed to fail against Nintendo. However, the company forged its own path, highlighting its differences with Nintendo in a series of highly-successful commercials. According to Nakahama, the decision to make a Sonic the Hedgehog movie was born out of a similar drive.

"It reminded me of the SEGA spirit of 'trying new things,'" said Nakahama.

Tails and the Music Maker is an education game for the Sega Pico starring Miles "Tails" Prower, who uses this game to teach children about music.
The object of the game is to learn scales, tempo, rhythm, and about instruments, and then match the music to the instruments. The player may also create their own music.
This educational concept is similar to games like Sonic's Schoolhouse.

Yet no one ever picks apart Mario games.

May be because Mario games feels like kid games due it's kid-friendly nature?
They'll feel bad if they try to attack kid games.

Amidst the smoldering ruins,
A silver hedgehog warms himself by the fire⚪🔥

Days of battle that see no end
With dreams of a blue sky beyond the dark clouds, a sight he's yet to lay his eyes upon,
The flame of hope burns bright in Silver's heart

Let this warrior rest for a moment🍫

Quote
The first area Sonic visits in the Starfall Islands : Kronos Island.
This island is characterized by grassy plains and frequent rainfall.
Notable landmarks include a gigantic waterfall and a huge, floating tower in the sky.
With many ruins that resemble houses, it appears that an ancient civilization once occupied this land.

Hidden in the ancient ruins scattered across the islands are various puzzles.
Solving them will grant items that increase Sonic's attack and defense, further unlock the map, and generate new and quicker ways to travel.
There are several different types of puzzles, including brain teasers, action sequences that test your skills, and mini-games.
While solving puzzles will make adventuring easier, they are not necessary to progress through the game. Feel free to tackle them at your own pace.

Quote
Deserts and rocky mountains cover the second island of the Starfall Islands : Ares Island.
Remnants of colossal cannons and defensive walls can be found here, leading many to believe that the island once served as a defensive base for an ancient civilization.
Despite the scorching heat and the occasional sandstorms that ravaged the island, cacti and oases thrive across the island.

Although he lives in New York, he's an Italian (may be he spent his childhood in Vatican, who knows) and have the power to stomp people to death and could ressurect himself from the dead only with some kind of mushroom.
I guess he's really some kind of god while Sonic in his followers' eyes is being reduced to its satanic form (https://media.tenor.com/V_jQgbU1blMAAAAM/sanic-sonic.gif).

On the normal occassion he would only choose to wear red and blue.
Well maybe the spaghetti sauce will fall on his overalls.

I've already posted my thoughts and opinions on this map elsewhere so

Feel free to quote me from my SNN post. Especially my complaint on how the event objectives are handled.

Other than that I find the Emerald Hill race course fun but I think it's better off as an obby than a race course.

My guess the next event we will have will probably promote Sonic Frontiers.
It would make sense to do so.

Halloween and Sonic Frontiers release date is so close, they only have a week to promote it before the release date.
Of course they could still promote it after the release date.
Now I wonder will SEGA let them to use Koco too?
Koco meeting Chao could be funny if it done right.

90s Video Game Voucher Shows Alternate Mario 64 And Sonic 3D Blast Box Art

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fe9Axz4XEAAxrGF?format=jpg&name=900x900)

Quote
The game entitled 'Sonic Blast' (a title which would later be used on a Game Gear release) on the other hand takes a finished design that we assumed couldn't get any creepier and turns it up to a whole new level of uncanny.
In a similar pose to the final Sonic 3D Blast case, this alternate Sonic is rounder, plumper and with eyes that appear to be staring right into our very soul.
Yeah, we're pleased they changed that one.

I imagine, if they want to do the bare minimum to promote Sonic Frontiers, it can be something like this:

New Frontier Event - A corruption has arrived in Green Hill. you must collect Memory Tokens (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Memory_Token) (maybe based on Sonic instead of his friends like in the game) or something else to get obligatory stuff.
And maybe, maybe if they really want to put some degree of effort into it, they could change the following:Y'know, instead of making "Earn one pet" and "Earn four pets" a separate objective, they should just make "Earn one pet" repeatable. Allow the player to stack as many of the available pets as they want.

  • Collect 10k - Earn Koco pet
  • Collect 25k - Earn Cyloop (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Cyloop) Trail
  • Collect 50k - Earn four more Koco pets
  • Collect 100k - Unlock Adventure Sonic
And maybe, maybe if they really want to put some degree of effort into it, they could change the following:
  • Springs reskinned to how they appear (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/File:Sonic-Frontiers-ActuGaming-Promotional-Screenshot.png) in Frontiers.
  • Balloons reskinned to how they appear (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/File:Balloons-Propeller-Springs-Open-Zone-Sonic-Frontiers.png) in Frontiers.
  • Chaos Orbs (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Chaos_Orb) replaced with Skill Pieces (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Skill_Piece) but function the exact same way. Or if they don't want to reskin the Chaos Orbs, have the Skill Pieces as the collectibles.
Y'know, instead of making "Earn one pet" and "Earn four pets" a separate objective, they should just make "Earn one pet" repeatable. Allow the player to stack as many of the available pets as they want.

I can see they make "Earn one pet" repeatable, but also make players wouldn't be able to stack them as many as they want.
It would be limited slots and if you want to upgrade the slots, you got to spend robux for it.
Pets then could be traded for something that Frontiers related.

While Sonic Jump is the first Sonic game designed with iOS and smartphone devices in mind, it’s not the first Sonic Jump game.
Sonic Jump originally came out in 2006 on older cell phones of that period.
This predates Doodle Jump which many claim this game is a knockoff of by almost three years.
That’s right Sonic Jump didn’t rip off Doodle Jump. If anything, it’s the other way around.

Sonic Advance 1: Tweaked Hack Patch

(https://c.tenor.com/xclhlE1tdAQAAAAd/sonic-advance-gba.gif)

Quote
This is a patch for every release of Sonic Advance 1 that makes two ‘tweaks’ in hopes of providing a better, less frustrating gameplay experience. These two tweaks are nerfing all 7 Special Stages by lowering the ring requirement in each section, and changing the Pause Menu to have it’s functionality from Time Attack mode in every mode in the game. This includes the main campaign as well!

This change allows the player to quickly retry an Act, switch characters, change Acts, or go back to the Main Menu without having to bother with finishing up the current game session.

Included in the zip is various patches for all releases of the game. Please check the readme.txt that’s also included with the zipped archive for further information.

It was a dark and stormy night.
Harsh rain from an unnatural storm fell upon Sonic the Hedgehog and Miles “Tails” Prower as they flew above the sea in the Tornado.
Lightning strikes, causing the plane to spiral downward into a crash landing on an uncharted island.
What Sonic and Tails will soon learn is that the island is no island at all, but the floating remains of the Death Egg. Scrapped, rusted, and malfunctioning Badniks call this place home.
Can the friends survive isolation on an island of robots programmed to destroy them?

I'd say allow players to repeat and stack as many of the same pets as they want at the expense of their own limited inventory space.

This would be a more practical way to "pad out" player involvement in an event.

When a new event hits it takes me a few hours, around half a day (give or take breaks) for me to finish an event, then I just take a break from Speed Sim save for dailies or in this case seventy sweets from that pumpkin. All the while these events continue on for a week.

If they made unlocking a single pet or trail a repeatable objective then it would make it five times as long to earn enough pet or trail to evolve it or if the player wants more than one of the same pet or trail they must put in the more effort for it thus a fair bit of padding.

Not only that but it will lease up an objective slot for something more creative.

It is. Not only would it be more fair to players, it would make events last longer and encourage purchase of inventory space if there's not enough.

That last sentence is a good reason for the dev to consider, hope the message got across.

That's good. Does look spooky.

Yes, the story is kinda fit for Halloween. The only thing missings are pumpkins.

Yeah but there can still be a bar eminimum of what can pass off as Halloween in vibes even if it's not Halloween.

I think Bloodborne is a good example of a Non-Halloween game that's still ideal for Halloween. While Dark Souls may also tick some boxes I think Bloodborne is an ideal not-Halloween game.

Sonic does started slow in the game, but we can unlock the speed level until Level 99.
They said at Speed Level 10 Sonic is already very fast.

Sonic does started slow in the game, but we can unlock the speed level until Level 99.
They said at Speed Level 10 Sonic is already very fast.
Still feels weird for "Sonic starting off slow". I presume it's because of that red glowing corruption thing nerfing his abilities.

Rieko Kodama, also known as Phoenix Rie, has passed away.
She was a major designer for the Phantasy Star series, directing IV, and produced several games including Altered Beast, Phantasy Star IV, Alex the Kidd, Sonic 1, and Skies of Arcadia.
She will be greatly missed.

Could be. At least he's not as slow as Sonic Labyrinth where Sonic has to wear the Slow Down Boots which serves to drain Sonic from his speed and ability.

That's true. But I am hoping there will still be an in-story explanation. I felt like "this guy is faster than Sonic (http://y2u.be/f2YrymzID7A)" broke an unwritten, golden-rule that Sonic Team have always honoured, that being "Sonic is the fastest being alive". So I think it requires a good explanation why Sonic's speed is nerf'd when it's his signature trait.

In a bittersweet moment, Kodama ended her interview with Famitsu remarking “This might upset some people, but I work on each as though it were the last thing I did with my life”.
Kodama continued, saying “If I didn’t actually do it that way, I wouldn’t be able to make something as full of heart as these. And I really have worked on all of them as though they were my last project.”

I hope so. Can't just make Sonic slow without reason. He's all about being fast.
I hate that she's constantly angry and impatient all the time.
Likely because she lost to Sonic and is still haunted by Starline who both made and ruined her life.
It does feel more like an advertising than a feature video.
Then they should make it at least advertising. Sega aren't really known for the horror genre but that doesn't mean they don't have decent horror games. And heck, House of the Dead: Remake doesn't really have much promotion which I tihnk it kinda needs.

I dunno why but Big the Cat looks more like a Kung Fu Panda character than a Sonic character.
Also, the reason why the show has new voice actors, all Canadian, is because of a law stating shows produced in Canada must have a Canadian cast. It's what made Xialoin Chronicles go under. Kinda wish Sega would of checked this before commissioning WildBrain.

Yeah. In the comic even when his feet hurt he's still kinda fast.

Then they should make it at least advertising. Sega aren't really known for the horror genre but that doesn't mean they don't have decent horror games.
And heck, House of the Dead: Remake doesn't really have much promotion which I tihnk it kinda needs.

I know the reasons why but I still don't like it.
Those recently released two horror SEGA games weren't published by SEGA.
Alien: Isolation Mobile was published by Feral Interactive and House of the Dead: Remake was published by Forever Entertainment
But they're still their franchise, they should've included them even ifonly for few seconds.

I dunno why but Big the Cat looks more like a Kung Fu Panda character than a Sonic character.

And also look at his ears.
Aren't they too long?
More like Rabbit's ears than cat's ears.

Also, the reason why the show has new voice actors, all Canadian, is because of a law stating shows produced in Canada must have a Canadian cast.
It's what made Xialoin Chronicles go under.

As long as the end result is good I don't really mind.

He reminds me of the Super Monkey Ball Main Announcer guy (https://twitter.com/brianmatt_tokyo).
First he complained when he's being uncredited, and that's fair. He had right to be credited..
And then he said that he didn't get paid enough but yet he's also riding on Super Monkey Ball's fame.
SEGA didn't use him anymore in Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania.

It really is unfair and unusual. Just because THotD:Remake was made by Forever Entertainment doesn't mean everyone will no longer associate The House of the Dead with Sega. Heck they could of promoted Scarlet Dawn which was made by Sega. Promoting Forever Entertainment would be promoting themselves.
And also look at his ears.
Aren't they too long?
More like Rabbit's ears than cat's ears.
I agree. People complaining Rouge boobs are too small or no more cleavage and my concern is Big the Cat looking like Po from Kung Fu Panda and laws stating TV shows made in Canada must have Canadian casts.
As long as the end result is good I don't really mind.
Yeah as long as Sega doesn't pull another 4Kids on us and replace their current voice cast with Primes like they did with the Dreamcast-era voice cast replaced with Sonic X.
He reminds me of the Super Monkey Ball Main Announcer guy (https://twitter.com/brianmatt_tokyo).
First he complained when he's being uncredited, and that's fair. He had right to be credited..
And then he said that he didn't get paid enough but yet he's also riding on Super Monkey Ball's fame.
SEGA didn't use him anymore in Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania.

I barely remember him, but surely he didn't try to extort anyone for sexual favours.

About Scarlet Dawn, I know the reasons why but I still don't like it. (Didn't I say something similar before, dejavu)
The game was distributed by SEGA Amusement International for western release and has nothing to do with SEGA of America (who made the video).

"I want us to turn out hits that truly represent Japan and give rise to social phenomena.
In the past, we have created products like Pachislot Hokuto No Ken and MUSHIKING: The King of Beetles that reached beyond the Group’s existing fan base, gaining recognition even among people who are not typical game players and garnering widespread public attention.
Going forward, I want us to turn out hits that go above and beyond these crazes.
The latest Sonic movie is one such hit. Released worldwide in the spring of 2022, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 broke the record for the highest grossing video game-based film ever in the U.S., and met with high acclaim worldwide.
I saw a local shopping mall in the States that was overflowing with Sonic merchandise.
Those are the kind of hits we want to create, titles that represent Japan, and we want to see similar scenes all around the world demonstrating their huge popularity."

That's just SEGA of America marketing departement, I think.
SEGA Forever, SEGA Shop Europe, and SEGA Amusement International sometimes quoted each others.
Same thing with SEGA Music Team - maimai Team, ONGEKI team, and Chunithm team.
Plus Sonic Team, SEGA Asia, Atlus Asia, and RGG Studio Asia too.. are also always advertising each others.

I imagine the asian Sonic voice cast gets to reprise their roles? American English voice cast still at risk.

They changed but they are not too different. All voices are made as close as possible with Japan version.

Likely, but it's like Sonic Team has a new perspective or direction for what Sonic should be.

I hope the new direction is good. Even if I won't like it, new direction is better than no direction at all.

Hope you had a Happy Halloween.

Mr. Iizuka says that while members of the Sonic Team loved The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild they actually don’t see any similarities between the two games which they say are remarkably different from each other.
“From the development [team’s] perspective, they’re going out and making an action game.
They see Breath of the Wild as a role-playing game, it’s not similar at all to the action game that they’re making,”

"Coco" that appears in this work is a cute inhabitant of the Starfall Islands😍
If you bring the lost Coco to Elder Coco or Hermit Coco, they will strengthen Sonic 💪
Surrounded by a lot of Coco without delivering it... isn't it bad? 🥰

Sonic Frontiers on Switch uses AMD’s FSR image upscaling

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FglpjBNXkAMiCL9?format=png&name=small)

Quote
According to info on the official eShop page for Sonic Frontiers, SEGA has used AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) to squeeze an extra bit of visual clarity out of the experience on Switch.
That would make Sonic Frontiers the fourth Switch game to do so, following in the footsteps of Nintendo Switch Sports, Splatoon 3 and Life is Strange: True Colors.
For those who don’t know, AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) uses cutting-edge upscaling technology to boost framerates & deliver near-native resolution with high-quality detail.

This video give a bit of tidbits to Sonic lore, such as implying the civilization that once inhabited Starfall Islands may had once known the echidnas in Sky Sanctuary. Whenever this was before or after the rising of Angel Island it's unknown.

Have I told you my "Starfall Island was formerly Nocturne Clan territory" theory yet?

It could be true after hearing the other two islands' name *SPOILER* : Rhea (Gaia's titan daughter) and Uranus (the sky god, kinda fit with the Angel islands).
but Brotherhood wasn't canon so may be the story won't go there or would be a little different.

Brotherhood may not be canon but the echidna history established may still be. I just simply doubt Sonic Team would straight-up use buzz-words that will stain Penders panties for a lawsuit.

When you get tired from intense adventuring, you can head over to a "certain" place to enjoy some fishing to wind down for the evening.
Enjoy some relaxing music as you fish up a wide range of water dwellers.
It's definitely one way you can relax.

What do you think of Sonic Frontiers so far? I'm not too fond of the new control scheme but I'm having a blast!

I love it so much.
It's been long since I enjoy a different approach of gameplay of a franchise which turned out to be my liking.
The last one was Persona 5 Strikers.
(Persona games usually are turn based but this one is an action RPG + musou which surprised me of how good it is and more fun than the mainline games)

(https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/1910116989674504326/2AA72E084A6AB7CD2649AC9EF63A2C9942DF2030/?imw=700&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false)

At first I hate the realistic approach of Frontiers graphic (I prefer Lost Word-style of graphic) but the gameplay was so fun and exploring the island was enjoyable.
May be for 3D Sonic games,  I'd like this game more than Generations.
Time will tell, still haven't finished the game.

Also good thing this game has three save slots.
Both of my kids love the game too so we could use different save slot for each of us.
I think I can confidently say Frontiers is my GOTY for 2022
(Unless collections like Sonic Origins is counted, it's hard to beat the love of classic games).

I have mixed feelings about the game but over-all very positive.

I myself prefer more simpler gameplay controls that past Sonic games were known for. I find most of these new attacks and skills kind of useless and really just button-mashing and hoping I'd pull off a random skill for additional damage.
And while I (and many fans) have complained about drifty controls in the past, now it feels rather stiff. Especially in Cyber Space stages where it fees like the gameplay is working against you at times.

I honestly prefer realistic over Lost World graphics, though I also prefer Sonic Adventures graphics where it sort of met half-way between realistic and Soniccy... I dunno, Dreamcast-era seemed tro have had it's own aesthetic for Sonic design.

But despite my nitpickings it is still an absolute brilliant Sonic game and wish for future Sonic games to be like it. My only wish is for the gameplay to lean more towards Sonic Adventure in controls, momentum and physics.
Heck SOnic Speed Simulator got Sonic Adventure gameplay down flat so what's Sonic Team's excuse?

Because Sonic Team wanted to try new things.
If they want Sonic Adventure control-like they'll make Sonic Adventure 3 instead
(which something that Iizuka wanted to work but he'll need lot more budget than the usual Sonic games which SEGA probably still won't approve).

Sonic Adventure 3 really need it's own campaign than just budget for the one game. Especially if a "Chao Adventure 3" is involved.

That's what Iizuka wants... multiple characters to play and Chao's garden.
I think the bigger budget is also for hiring more people.
The current Sonic Team is also always busy with "Puyo Puyo Quest" (one of their very profitable mobile games) weekly update,
just like how SEGA HARDLight is always busy updating Sonic Forces & Sonic Dash every week (or Gamefam with Sonic Speed Simulator).

Yeah, Amy is even leading the resistance with Knuckles in Forces.
In IDW she even prioritize managing the Resistance over being on journey wit Sonic.
She has matured a lot so making her back like she was in CD/Adventure/Unleashed is kinda dissapointing.

At the first it was 38-year-old Square Enix employee Taisuke Sazaki, who has worked on Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts games, accused to use insider information while working at Square-Enix about (then) unannounced “Dragon Quest Tact” mobile game which was being developed jointly by Square-Enix and Aiming for mobile devices.
But then Yuji Naka was accused too allegedly used this information to purchase over 10,000 shares of Aiming stock for approximately 2.8 million yen  or around USD$20,000. (Sazaki, meanwhile, is accused of buying ¥26.4 million worth, or around USD$188,000.)

The new trailer details the show’s plot, including a very Sonic SatAM alternate reality where Eggman has completely taken over.
Or should I say… EggMEN?
The trailer also showcases several alternate worlds called Shatterspaces, which is likely going to contribute to the episodic nature of the show with a new Shatterspace each week.

Sonic Frontiers charts hot streak continues, landing 4th in the Japanese Game Charts
Selling the most between multiplatform releases


(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FhKFeHdUoAA2eIH?format=jpg&name=small)

Quote
Famitsu Sales: 11/7/22 – 11/13/22

1. [NSW] Splatoon 3 (Nintendo, 09/09/22) – 43,781 (3,331,197)
2. [NSW] Tactics Ogre: Reborn (Square Enix, 11/11/22) – 36,783 (New)
3. [PS5] God of War Ragnarok (SIE, 11/09/22) – 29,377 (New)
4. [NSW] Sonic Frontiers (SEGA, 11/08/22) – 26,067 (New)
5. [PS4] Tactics Ogre: Reborn (Square Enix, 11/11/22) – 12,668 (New)
6. [PS4] God of War Ragnarok (SIE, 11/09/22) – 11,260 (New)
7. [PS5] Sonic Frontiers (SEGA, 11/08/22) – 11,111 (New)
8. [PS4] Sonic Frontiers (SEGA, 11/08/22) – 9,098 (New)

9. [NSW] Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (Nintendo, 04/28/17) – 8,025 (4,899,259)
10. [PS5] Tactics Ogre: Reborn (Square Enix, 11/11/22) – 7,805 (New)

Sonic Frontiers did end up selling the most between multiplatform releases, notching a cumulative sale of 46,276 units sold between the 3 SKUs.
This is the best sales the Sonic franchise has received in over a decade in a country that tends to treat the brand as a niche release.
In fact it was not until the Adventure games, upto Sonic Heroes, that the series ever managed to break past 100,000 life time sales (Excluding the Mario & Sonic games) so the result will be a fantastic one for SEGA.
Read the article to check its comparison to Sonic Forces, Sonic Lost World, Sonic Generations, etc

Sonic co-creator Yuji Naka arrested for insider trading involving new Dragon Quest game

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fh0BWQHaAAADfQS?format=jpg&name=small)

Article : https://segabits.com/blog/2022/11/17/sonic-creator-yuji-naka-arrested-for-insider-trading-involving-new-dragon-quest-game/ (https://segabits.com/blog/2022/11/17/sonic-creator-yuji-naka-arrested-for-insider-trading-involving-new-dragon-quest-game/)
I don't know what "Aiming" or "Insider Trading" is or why it is such a bad thing.
From what I understand, it's buying and selling stocks over a product that's yet to be released but as far as I'm aware stuff like that has been happening around the world for decades. So I don't see why Yuji Naka was arrested over it or why we should turn out back on him over it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8Da7PQE8O8 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8Da7PQE8O8)
Yeah, Amy is even leading the resistance with Knuckles in Forces.
In IDW she even prioritize managing the Resistance over being on journey wit Sonic.
She has matured a lot so making her back like she was in CD/Adventure/Unleashed is kinda dissapointing.
It's the most step back thing ever. She giving up her love for Sonic for one thing but deciding to hide it despite years and year of being opened about it, that's just droll and stupid.

It also happened when he tried to sue Square Enix which makes it more suspicious.


Street Fighter II producer Yoshiki Okamoto thinks something is fishy with Yuji Naka's arrest.


He suspects Naka was set up due to his lawsuit with Square Enix, since many things about the case don't make sense.


According to Okamoto, the amount Naka traded is far too low to trigger an arrest.

Haters will always have a way to mock people who did something not suit to their liking. Damned if we do, damned if we don't.

I could listen to these vibes for hours... Which I can given some have posted hour-long extensions of.

Yeah. And it came from the legend, Tomoya Ohtani :

"Fishing Vibes was a track I was working on before the Chillmo Club tracks.
I discovered the joy of making lo-fi music with Fishing Vibes and started ChillmoClub.
When I have more time, I would like to create more Chillmo tracks. "

https://www.youtube.com/@TomoyaOhtaniChannel/videos

Sonic ads are always special. This one in particular given the mother is just as much as a fan as her son.

New generations is more used to games and her mother looks kinda young to have a son around that age.

I don't blame Sonic. Ever since that episode of MLP:FiM I find the appeal of tribal-themed girls.

I once hooked an alligator and half the content of a zone from those waters. I wouldn't be surprise if the GUN Truck is in there somewhere.

I wonder what's happened when Vector is the one doing the fishing and he got a n alligator.

Sonic 2sday will technically not be until next year where the anniversary date falls on a Tuesday.Whoevers job it is to make Sonic commercials must have a lot of fun producing them.

They just couldn't wait to celebrate it right away.

Haters will always have a way to mock people who did something not suit to their liking. Damned if we do, damned if we don't.
True. I just hope there will be a proper investigation in Naka's favour.
Yeah. And it came from the legend, Tomoya Ohtani :

"Fishing Vibes was a track I was working on before the Chillmo Club tracks.
I discovered the joy of making lo-fi music with Fishing Vibes and started ChillmoClub.
When I have more time, I would like to create more Chillmo tracks. "

https://www.youtube.com/@TomoyaOhtaniChannel/videos (https://www.youtube.com/@TomoyaOhtaniChannel/videos)
I'm still working on that "Sonic Yule Log" video. I would add any Tomoya Ohtani chill tracks... It's just while I started this project well in advance I don't think I'll finish it this year.
New generations is more used to games and her mother looks kinda young to have a son around that age.
That's true. I thought that was his girlfriend. Still some have made that mistake between me and my mother before.

And by UI improvements I hope they mean a counter for Koco and seeds I got.
How about making it the Elder Koco asks how much I want my speed or ring cap extended than just one at a time?
Or how about a Free Play mode with the option to rematch Titans?

Or you know, a proper final boss battle and none of that Ikaruga bullshit?

The shmup and the pinball are big turn offs for me.

The pinball bit was a surprise and somewhat fun moment. I'd rather have pinball over shmup. Fighting The End in a pinball machine would of been more entertaining.

Could you try with existing models first?
And then later replaced them when you already found the desired models?

Chris is still my number one.
And though I love IDW Comic, Surge is my second one.

Christmas is a highly marketable time of year but some corporations prefer to avoid the word "Christmas" given it's a Christian holiday and they wish to be more diverse and inclusive. They will still do Christmas-themed promotions just call it "Holidays" or something like that.

No real surprise there. I do wonder if they have their own Christmas traditions or own take on Santa Claus.... other than KFC.

One of the key differences is that Christmas in Japan is thought of as a holiday for lovers and kids, rather than a time to gather with family.
Even if they aren't Christian, Japanese kids also look forward to a visit from Santa on Christmas Eve and a present waiting for them on Christmas morning.
(and hopefully it's the real Santa that visit, not Segata Sanshiro)

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B5wM9k9IEAApb-H?format=jpg&name=small)

The difference is in the Western tradition, Santa enters homes by climbing down chimneys - an act difficult to do in a nation where most homes lack this sort of entrance!
However, ask most Japanese children, and they'll have an interesting take: Santa is typically seen as some kind of magical ghost that appears with goodies!

I thought the Japanese had their own version of Santa during Christmas time? A figure named Hoteiosho. He is depicted as a jolly Buddhist monk who wears red or orange monk robes. He is beardless revealing his jolly face and his robes are open revealing his belly. He sometimes carry a staff for walking but always with his bag of gifts and food that is always full no matter how much he gives. Instead of a sleigh, he has a flying row boat which can magically shrink down for convenience.

Nowadays we could always see western type of Santa in the Japanese malls and superstores and TV commercials during Christmas so that's how he looks in kids' mind.

It's interesting especially if you're Buddhist.
But some Japanese people change their religion like how we changed hobbies.
When they're still in school they usually have a Shinto religion since they like to pray in Shinto temple for their success in exams.
When they're married they convert to Christian since they love the idea of being married in the church and have Easter & Christmas tradition for their kids.
When they're old enough to have grandkids they convert to Buddha since it's the most calming religion and the price for funeral is also lot cheaper compared to others.

I don't hate Boom, but I believe too this will be better than Boom.

Ep2 : A power outage gives two rebels a chance to break into a lab where the Chaos Council is studying Sonic's strange connection to their energy source.
Ep3 : To secure the Prism Shard, the rebels battle the Chaos Council. Then Sonic makes a startling discovery about the events that shattered his world.
Ep4 : In a dimension called the Boscage Maze, Sonic runs into tree-dwelling versions of his friends who warn him of a monster that lives on the jungle floor.
Ep5 : To find his way back to the right dimension, Sonic must battle the jungle monster who waged war on his friends and capture the powerful Prism Shard.
Ep6 : Back in New Yoke, Sonic desperately tries to convince Nine to join the Resistance, but Nine is focused on building a brand-new home.
Ep7 : In the tropical No Place, Sonic meets a friendly band of pirates and their mysterious captain, who loves to party.
Ep8 : As Sonic's crew races to the Prism Shard, they quickly realize they're not the only ones after it. There's only one way to win — they gotta go fast!

Where's the challenge in that?

So far there is no refference to other Sonic TV shows, right?

There's no challenge to begin with. Just confusion.

I watched all eight episodes of Sonic Prime and no mention of any other of the Sonic cartoons.

Only other Sonic cartoon that had a mother-figure for Dr. Eggman would be Mombot (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Mombot) from Sonic Boom (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Sonic_Boom_(TV_series)).

I see, I only have time to watch four episodes so far, four more to go.
I forgot about Mombot. For a guy who hates Sonic Boom, somehow you managed to remember the show better than me.

Like gender and sexuality identity? That has became more complicated in recent past now that there is a whole rainbow of snowflakes to choose from.

I'm the same with Teen Titans Go!, I loath it but I still watch it because I miss the original Teen Titan show I love.

There are always two sides of every coin.
For some people who's identity feels being repressed before, for them it's a good thing to know that they are not alone.
But there are always among them then went too far and insulted / attacked everybody who's not agree with them and forced them to change their preference.
For example...  attacking a card maker just because the card is like this?

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FkQepbBXgAEbVBP?format=jpg&name=small)

And then attacking Biology teachers or people who pronouns them wrong. How insane and low can they go? The world aren't spinning around them.
They became as toxic as Sonic and Genshin fandom, and hurt some that just want to be accepted and nothing more than that.

I'm the same with Teen Titans Go!, I loath it but I still watch it because I miss the original Teen Titan show I love.

You missed the original too much. I only watch two or three episodes of Teen Titans Go! and then gave up.

It is unfair. Especially given at one point in their lives, every other-gendered individual had a birth-gender of either boy or girl. It's not until their preteens they may figure out that they're not a boy or a girl. But there really shouldn't be need to be aggressive at those who simply go by the "default genders". If someone wants to be refered to as they or them, then that's fine, I will refer to them as that... Unless they're monsters like Ezra Miller then they deserve to be called "it".
You missed the original too much. I only watch two or three episodes of Teen Titans Go! and then gave up.
That's fair.
I just wish there were more cartoons like Teen Titans back then. It was a lot like Young Justice but with the right amount of comedy and casual filler episodes that make it easier to enjoy.

That's fair.

Funnily enough, the Teen Titans Go! comic is kinda good and the story is kinda serious.
I wondered why the TV version was different.

Well "thing" isn't exactly a pronoun. Maybe "that" can be used.

I think those comics were made before Teen Titans Go during the original series run.

They should've used different title for the Go series.

Episode 12 STORY

Ojisan receives a request to defeat a "singing monster" and heads for the forest. He discovers a huge monster and attacks to defeat it, but it turns out to be Mabel, who lives a self-sufficient life in the forest.
The giant ice sculpture she had erected to keep people away and Mabel's singing voice had somehow become feared as a "singing monster.

Mabel was so pleased by the praise of her singing voice that she proposed to sing a song from Ojisan's home.
The delighted Ojisan teaches Mabel his favorite song.

Despise more than if they just showing their ugly feet?
I can go on and on about it. I just hate that it's canon. Tikal the Echidna and Big the Cat both wear sandals but you probably forgot because they have toeless flesh-socks. There's even official Sonic Adventure art of Tails and Amy in beachwear wearing sandals.

It just looks ugly to me. They could of settled with regular feet which I understand may look just as gross but be more "normal" than toeless flesh-socks. Or better yet just put two lines on the toeless flesh-socks and make them have three toes. It will look simply and more cute that way.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays 2022 !!!

They don't have toes. That's my whole gripe. I don't have a foot fetish but it's like an anti-fetish for me whenever I see Sonic characters bare feet with "toeless flesh-socks". It just disgust me. As in "Is that the best SOnic Team could come up with? The last potato in the shop look?"

I heard in Japan, Christmas is like a secondary Valentines Day for them while still all the traditions and trimmings of Christmas. I can only imagine what Christmas is like in Japan, especially in Joypolis.

Yeah. While most Western countries celebrate Christmas on December 25, Christmas Eve is the main event in Japanthanks to the lovey dovey couples that want to ****, uh, I meant to have a romantic dinner in special day other than Valentine day.
Since it's also a family tradition to spend time together at Christmas, it’s also the day many stores have the biggest sales of the year, including KFC to have its biggest chicken sales of the year in Christmas, to the point that If we don’t have a pre-order, we can’t even get in the door at KFC.

Sonic with human-looking feet looks weird but it still looks better than fleshsocks. I think SatAM feet looks better for Sonic given it's just three toes.

As for the "toeless flesh-socks", all Sonic Team has to do is add two lines and they will look so much more normal and appealing.

It's just that simple.
Please let me remind you I do not have a foot fetish. I simply find the "toeless flesh-socks" offputting.

The fact Dr. Eggman gets to keep his human feet is kind of unfair given he has the most normal feet than the others.
He's not that funny in Yakuza 0 though.
I only played a bit of Yakuza 0, My guess he was just starting out.

Interview with Logan McPherson, ‘Sonic Prime’ Executive Producer
Episode 1 is Available on Youtube


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCSOjGOQOAc (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCSOjGOQOAc)

Quote
"We’ve done some pretty big shows, but this was a level-up in certain respects. Our asset team had to be huge as the character count was super high, and there are five worlds being featured.
The animation team was also bigger than normal as we were really pushing the quality of animation. It also features huge character counts in the shots, with lots of fighting and battling so there was not shortage of work to do for the animation team! When you have such a large crew, you need a bigger production team as well to help keep it all organized and on track!"

At least they are still evil. New series sometimes nerfed evilness due to avoid offense some groups or people.
But they're not suppose to be evil! They're "dark" but not evil. The whole premise of the Addams Family and a family that have their own traditions that to outsides look deranged, cryptic or cruel but to the family itself they are regarded as normal behaviour as children playing or family outings, all the while they welcome guests into their homes, be friendly and outgoing even if they themselves find normal things strange. The whole morale being that while the family is strange and different, they are still a loving family.
I understand the Wednesday series is a teen comedy-drama series and thus should be a bit more grimdark than usual I don't think they should go as far as to make them "evil".
Yes.. Must be from that cartoon show. No wonder those "feet" in my memories feel "official" thing.
It perhaps feel that they because they look more normal while the "toeless flesh-socks" are perhaps design that way to draw attention away from it. For example you forgot Big and Tikal wear sandals. But given I am aware of this it just feels like an abomination f character design to me.
Ah no, I was still talking about Japanwhen I talk about KFC. Here most people just visit each others during Christmas and eat together at home.
Oh that's fine. Japan sure have it's ways with Western holidays. But I kinda like it. They go all out with it. I heard they're not too fond of Halloween though.

'Wednesday' has an age rating of 14+ so I'm aware what I expect from the show.
While it lost the charm from the pevious shows & movies, it has its owblind of charm (for a teen series).
I love the new character too, Enid and her relation with Wednesday, and how contrast their difference are.

Yeah, especially the use of pumpkins as decoration is seen as a waste.
Halloween isn't popular too here in my country.

'Wednesday' has an age rating of 14+ so I'm aware what I expect from the show.
While it lost the charm from the pevious shows & movies, it has its owblind of charm (for a teen series).
I love the new character too, Enid and her relation with Wednesday, and how contrast their difference are.

I do like how not only how the two gradually became friends, but how Wednesday learned not to just "use" others for her desired outcomes and to treat others as friends.
Yeah, especially the use of pumpkins as decoration is seen as a waste.
Halloween isn't popular too here in my country.
From what I understand, it's because Halloween revelry can be regarded as disruptive and out of norm for Japanese standards.

Things still could change though I doubt it give its age rating.

It actually has resemblance to the Bon Festival which evokes the image of “death”.

Sonic Movie Writers Talk Big the Cat, Shadow, & Agent Stone

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fk2FDt5XgAQ5AYB?format=png&name=small)

Quote
“That was a big challenge with us and Jeff (Fowler) and Toby (Ascher), breaking the story for Sonic 3 and, obviously, they’ll murder us if we reveal too much, but with a character like Knuckles it very quickly was easy to see how we’d make Knuckles work so you can take him seriously, but he can also be funny since this is a Sonic the Hedgehog movie,” Miller said.
“You look to characters like Worf from Star Trek: The Next Generation or Drax from Guardians of the Galaxy. It’s easier to wrap your head around that with Shadow, again, because he’s not really supposed to be that funny. I’m trying to think of what we can say since we can’t reveal anything.”

I don't mind if this winter event is not classified as a Christmas event.. again they should use Snow Valley for it. But they likely not.
And the fact they rebranded the Holiday Tornado as Winter Tornado, that's just lazy.

If it turns out they will winterize Green Hill then that just show the Christmas Updates they had scheduled were pushed a month ahead, which if that's the case a little to late. While some homes still have their Christmas trees up I'm sort of over-and-done with Christmas Spirit, so too little, too late.

I guess they realized that it was too late too so that's why they use the word "winter".
Winter is not something people celebrate anyway so they have excuse to be as lazy as they want.

“We wanted to reinforce the idea that the player is moving the story forward through the music,” Ohtani says.
“The beginning of the game is melancholy and mysterious, but later in Chaos Island, you might get the feeling that you’re getting closer to achieving your objective.
We’ve included longer arcs of change, such as the music that plays during Sage’s scenes developing to match her state of mind as it changes from the beginning of the game to the end.”

Loneliness does feel like a reoccurring theme in Sonic Frontiers. I also find that running through Starfall Islands with just skies and ground to greet you, perhaps with Sonic's speed I felt more comfort of solitude than loneliness.

Drawn by artist Evan Stanley, the art features Sonic alongside Shatterverse versions of Knuckles, Tails, Amy, and Rouge.
It's a very cool piece of art, and it highlights the show's central hook.
Stanley has previously done Sonic art for Archie, Sega, and IDW, so the artist has quite the history with the character!

Nope, still not as good as Lego Castle. Lego castle is just that good.

Yeah, SEGA's first rival in UK was Amiga, I believe, not Nintendo.
SEGA Master System even outsold NES.
I heard many UK gamers started to care about SNES after home version Street Fighter II announced exclusive for SNES.
Europe even got Street Fighter II-bundled SNES while other region didn't.
It's very serious matter that SEGA even asked Capcom to make the updated version (Street Fighter Championship Edition) for them and made six buttons controller just for it.

Mecha Sonic's Betrayal Tragically Undermines Scrapnik Island

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FmrlfNpXwAALxzH?format=jpg&name=small)

Quote
It initially seemed as though Scrapnik Island might be establishing the logic of a potential happy ending to the Sonic franchise, as it confirms that Badnik's can be reprogrammed en masse, given back free will and a sense of morality.
However, Mecha Sonic has shattered that perception, as despite being part of this community, encountering his old nemesis has dragged him back into evil.
Of course, Mecha Sonic was always created to 'replace' Sonic in the world by killing off the original, leaving Eggman free to enact his plans.

It's more of the port than the controller though.
Also it's not being made later, it's developed before SNES Turbo but published after SNES Turbo.
The story's kinda complicated.
The first port of Street Fighter II CE for Genesis first was handled by another company which Capcom didn't like the result so they make the port itself (Street Fighter II Special CE) but making it from scratch again with the deadline's already approaching was hard.
Not to mention it's the first time Capcom ever made a game for SEGA Mega Drive.

Other Capcom games on Mega Drive before Street Fighter SCE wasn't even made by Capcom themself.
For example Ghouls'n Ghosts, Forgotten World, and Strider was made by Sega R&D 2, not Capcom.

Thankfully the controller was adapted into Saturn controller and almost all Capcom port on Saturn were good which is making all Capcom games are all heaven to arcade fighters.
Especially since the layout buttons layout are same with Capcom arcade's version, moving between arcade and Saturn was a cakewalk.

"…Of course I understand the benefits of boost.
Please be assured that we will also experiment with the coexistence of boost and spin dash.
However, I also have a feeling that I want to challenge the level design without boosts like the ADV series.
After all, the ADV series is a legend" 😅

"I'd gone and seen Captain EO, which was a short 3D movie starring Michael Jackson.
It was showing at Disneyland in Tokyo, which had just opened, and I thought it was quite inspirational.
So I lobbied management to create 3D glasses for the Master System.
I did the tech demo, which was sort of the Pong-style game we showed at CES, and then I did the bundled title, which was Missile Defense 3-D."

Quote
"Check out the Sonic Prime: Shatterverse Experience in LA this Saturday!
1/28 | 10am-8pm PST 3rd St Promenade | Santa Monica, CA"
The Tweet above has countless responses wondering what exactly the event entails, and what attendees can expect.
The whole thing is quite bizarre, especially the way Sega just casually mentioned it without any kind of fanfare.
Given the offhandedness of the announcement, fans probably shouldn't expect anything too major to come from it, but stranger things have happened!

Jason Momoa In Talks For Sonic The Hedgehog 3

(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/3a/ca/18/3aca1847bbbbac8928d58d523144394c.gif)

Quote
According to our trusted and proven sources, the Game of Thrones star is looking to join yet another mega-franchise, and we suspect that he is being brought in to voice fan-favorite antihero character Shadow the Hedgehog.
Last year’s Sonic the Hedgehog 2 set up Shadow as the potential adversary for the speedy blue protagonist, so it feels like a gimme for Jason Momoa in Sonic 3.

When asked by a fan if Twin Stars can be considered the earliest prototype for Sonic, Ohshima explained that when he submitted the project, ‘only smooth maps and loops and runs were approved.’ So, it sounds like the idea of a fast-paced platformer was always part of the plan.
Twin Stars has also drawn comparisons to the Nights games, which featured a similar premise of a dream world plagued by nightmares and dual protagonists.

Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros. are totally different games.

Conveniently skipped The End battle on hard mode.

I wanna read the script, what The End talks about.
Can't hear properlywith all those bullets running around.

I only started to play the fan remake recently.

It's basically the same game with better graphic so you won't miss anything from the original version.

Is that new Sonic X art?

Yeah, made for Blue Ray version.

You meant Mario Bros.?
Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros. are totally different games.
I meant the franchise... and the brothers.
I wanna read the script, what The End talks about.
Can't hear properlywith all those bullets running around.
She/it just goes on and on. I forgot most of it.
It's basically the same game with better graphic so you won't miss anything from the original version.
I noticed the Special Stages are different.
Yeah, made for Blue Ray version.
Oh that's cool.

It's easy to change since the joycons are detachable.

This is gonna be interesting... but given it will just be a jukebox, selfies and new challenges I don't think it warrants me starting over.

Maybe if Update 3 inclusdes "Extended mode" where more story and challenge is added to the games main story. Such as additional story events or a proper boss fight with The End.

New Super Mario Movie Commercial Features Sonic the Hedgehog Easter Eggs

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pu57M7cjSD4

Quote
Eagle-eyed viewers may have caught references to Paramount's Sonic the Hedgehog films, as well!
In the commercial, Mario and Luigi's work van can be seen driving across a map starting from Brooklyn. As they drive, several locations can be seen, including "Red Hill" and "Mushroom Planet."
Mushroom Planet is a clear reference to the planet Dr. Robotnik is stranded on at the end of the first Sonic the Hedgehog, while Red Hill would seem to be a Mario reference to Sonic's home in Green Hills.

Sonic: Hellfire Saga (Final Version) Full Gameplay - [Sega Genesis]

Quote
Game Created by @RedMisoStudios 

"It's time for Hellfire Saga to be released after 5 years - and that time period is quite a saga in of itself.
In that time, the game has gone from an amateur little Sonic 3 and Knuckles hack to a full-fledged game project with a development history worthy of a whole book, with lots of time dedicated to the concept, development, audio and visuals.
Red Miso Studio finally opens a portal to the devil's frying pan... so try not to get fried in the first few minutes."

To quote the article... "We see Mario and Luigi driving a ‘Super Mario Bros. Plumbing’ van across Brooklyn, and upon closer inspection, you’ll see ‘Mushroom Planet’ as well as ‘Red Hill’ signs along the way, hinting at a possible Sonic the Hedgehog appearance in the upcoming film."

I dunno, kind of a stretch. I mean, I know there is a Sonic 3 stage called "Mushroom Hill Zone" but when it comes to video game mascots and mushrooms, people often think Super Mario and Mushroom Kingdom.
As for "Red Hills", I mean yeah, "Hills" but same can be said for anywhere called hills.

I really can't imagine Sonic appearing in this movie at all.
And off the off-chance he did, he'll likely be a different version of the movie Sonic we're familiar with.

Though I double-dog-dare them to let Ugly Sonic have a cameo.

The subbed version of the classic Sonic anime is one fans have wanted for years.
It has everything, from getting zapped to Earth, adapting Sonic Adventure, Metarex, & more!

The show is still in SD, but there was extensive remastering for the best video presentation possible.
It included matching many sources, cleaning up video problems, & tons more.
The first half of the show had native 5.1 made for DVD in Japan, those tracks are included as well.

Extras for Sonic X include:
Both English & Japanese pilots
A short storyboard featurette
Clean Openings & Endings
Plus a number of Openings & Endings from the English version of the show just as a bit more.

“The number of units sold greatly exceeded the full-year plan at the beginning of the fiscal year, and we recognise that this is a title that we will continue to sell over the long term based on our sales strategies, such as pricing, promotions and the development of free DLC.”

When asked to evaluate the quality of Sonic Frontiers based on critic and player reaction, one exec replied: “Although it is true that the Metascore was slightly lower than expected, we believe that we were able to release a title that has been well received by many people around the world, thanks to the extremely high ratings from users.

Sonic Forces will Remove the Global Champion role On March 1st

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FpE8rGDWcAIOrnr?format=jpg&name=small)

Quote
Hello everyone,
On March 1st, we will remove the Global Champion role. This role was awarded to top 25 players who reach Forces’ global leaderboard by the end of each season.

Since Forces Mobile now offers a much larger poll of viable characters, we believe the role has become redundant and doesn't hold as much value as before. For example, regardless of what character you used (characters who shine only after hours mastering them, or ones which don’t require as much) – any player can achieve this by using the same few characters which give consistent results. And since the role itself wasn't permanent, we don't want users to feel pressure over a simple role that gets removed after the season.

Prestige role will stay, as we feel it is a fair challenge to achieve for the larger playerbase.
We’d like to keep server roles as something that’d benefit the majority, not just a smaller part of players who invest a lot more time into the game.

Thank you!

"Sonic is single," confirms Kishimoto. "But what about lovers? What about Amy?"
He continues, seemingly unaware that his words could fuel the fire of shipping wars that have had a hold on the fanbase for years.
"I'm also looking forward to seeing what kind of love Sonic will have in the future."

Eh maybe. dunno how I would feel if they deepfake Bob Hoskins or Captain Lou Albano for a post-mortem cameo. Seems like beating a dead horse with some literal sense.

If it was SonAmy I'd be cool with that.
But if it's a brand new character with no history with Sonic, or worse a character specifically catered for woke-ideals then... well I won't quit my love on Sonic over it but not without the feeling of a coffin nail deep in my flesh over it.

I've nothing against LGBT+ characters or the like, but if such characters are there purely for "woke" or "political reasons" then that just makes them token characters for a more degrading reason.

If it is decided Sonic will have a girlfriend, Amy is more deserving of that.

Don't worry, as long as the game was made in Japan, it most likely be Amy.
Even if it wasn't Amy,it's still most likely a female characters.

Arguing with SJW is like Sisyphus and his rock.
But my beef id mostly how "political correctness" is taking into account woke-ideals and how it's ruining entertainment.

I really don't mind if a fictional character is gay, a woman in a masculine-job or role, or both! But ever since "woke-movement" I feel such characters are more shoehorned into entertainment. Which honestly isn't entirely a bad thing if those characters are still relevant to the story and can be interesting and beloved characters in their own right.
But if it leads to some political woke moral of the story then that just degrades such characters as no more than "token characters", characters just their for demographic reasons.

All in all, we Brits once had quality, funny comedy shows such as Little Britain or League of Gentlemen. While BBC still have such shows available for viewing, not without "Warnings" at the start of them because of how embarrassed they were of these shows for having men in women clothing for humour or not enough coloured people.

I'm just tired how comedy and entertainment is so neutered of late and don't want that happening to Sonic. If they really want to introduce a trans character, retcon Charmy Bee as one, it makes sense if you think about it.

I agree. It's reflected more in movies and TV series.
For example, The Academy Awards' standards are designed to encourage equitable representation on and off screen in order to better reflect the diversity of the movie-going audience.
That's why they'll come up with a way to include LBGTQ characters in the movie and tone down the (used to be okay but somehow now it's not) jokes since it would be get them better chance to get awards.
It's okay if the tv series or movies' story were new ones, it became problem when the tv series or movies were based on established stories and they forced old character to become one instead of making a new character.
Video games award haven't gone into the direction yet but if it is I doubt SEGA really care much about awards.
Sony probably will, they're always obsessed with the awards.

I hope it stays that way. But to be fair Sonic games aren't known for their acting, at least in arcade games.

Sonic Speed Simulator Adds Auto-Run And Some Fans Hate It

Quote
There are some downsides to Auto Run. For starters, your character will top out at around 130 mph or so, which isn't very fast.
If you want to turn your speed simulator into an idle game, then Auto Run is a great new feature.
But Sonic's catchphrase is "gotta go fast" for a reason.
Sonic fans aren't particularly interested in "idle," and they're expressing their displeasure on Twitter.

Brazilian Fast Food Chains Launch Series of Sonic Meal Toys

The toys are being given away with a purchase of either a Children’s Kit meal or an Ice Cream Kit meal in either restaurant chain.
They can also be purchased separately separately at the price of R$ 16,90 (roughly US$3.30) each.
While the selection of toys is surprisingly small (where’s Knuckles?), the designs seem interesting and are different enough from toys found at other fast food chains like McDonald’s.

Sonic Frontiers Mod Adds Tangle the Lemur and Whisper the Wolf from the Sonic the Hedgehog IDW Comic series

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nteFqt5nFE

Quote
This mod sees Whisper taking Sonic's place as the playable character, who has to rescue Tangle who is trapped in Cyberspace.
The mod has Whisper without her mask, so players will be able to see her face, though the Whisper mod doesn't seem to have facial or eye expressions.
The Tangle model swap does however have lip sync, as seen with the cutscene between Sonic and Amy, where Tangle's mouth movements match Amy's in the scene.

Call Of Duty, Mortal Kombat, And Sonic Have The Sweariest Fans, According To Study

(https://media0.giphy.com/media/rJwm9D3r9Xeda/giphy.gif)

Quote
Findings from WordTips look at the language used by the largest fanbases online, pooling them all together to see which one comes across as the most toxic.
And unsurprisingly Call of Duty almost has them all beat, only losing the Rihanna stans.
However, what might be more surprising is that Mortal Kombat and Sonic fans are in the big leagues too, alongside WWE 2K and Borderlands players.

Maybe when you start a brand new game it's just grey skies but actually playing th game could unlock scenic main menu art that reflects the progress of your game etc.

Kinda like what the Half-Life games did.

Sonic Forces main menu screen was also bland before, right?
I guess that's what Sonic Team's preference.
It wasn't that bland, it had the Resistance base interior.(https://www.gameuidatabase.com/uploads/SonicForces04152020-110224.jpg)

Not as bland as Frontiers sure, but it still feels bland to me.
I prefer ones like Mania, Origins, or Colours Ultimate.

This mod is based on the HD Hero sonic modification made by Davih.
I use ring shader to create 2D cel style.
TAA anti-aliasing will be very blurry when used with this mod,
please use FXAA anti-aliasing and turn off motion blur in the graphics options.

That would be super bland. Well, I guess taste differs.. I like seeing Sonic moving on title screen.

Looks good indeed. I thought it would be weird to put Cartoonic Sonic in reality setting but somehow it's not.

If anything, it compliments it quite well. Kind of like in anime where they put a lot of detail and effort in the background but the characters are obviously animated but they don't look out of place.

Yes, this video series could become a refference to know which's canon or not.

Sonic Frontiers was recognized as the Best Action Adventure Game of 2022 and the developer, Sonic Team, is clearly overjoyed at receiving such a prestigious award. The game has been highly praised for its open world design, stunning graphics, and engaging gameplay.

Yeah! In a way that's why I don't like how the humans appear in Sonic Unleashed. Because while they were design to look more "normal" around Sonic in doing so they looked less normal to their surroundings. They looked like mutants most of them. If they went for an animesque (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Animesque) approach to humans in Sonic's world then they may have found a decent design that doesn't make them look weird.
Yes, this video series could become a refference to know which's canon or not.

If SOnic defeats Eggman once and for all, the whole world can breath easy for many years which seems a more better trade off than giving Shadow just the one good day.

Sonic Origins Plus will reportedly add 12 Game Gear games and playable Amy Rose

Quote
The report claims that Plus will be available as a $9.99 digital upgrade for owners of Sonic Origins, as well as a $39.99 bundle containing Sonic Origins and Plus, available both physically and digitally (the standard version of Sonic Origins didn’t get a physical release).
The Plus upgrade will reportedly contain all 12 Sonic games released on the Game Gear, which would therefore mean the following:

Sonic the Hedgehog (1991)
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (1992)
Sonic Chaos (1993)
Dr Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine (1993)
Sonic Drift (1994)
Sonic the Hedgehog Spinball (1994)
Sonic the Hedgehog Triple Trouble (1994)
Sonic Drift 2 (1995)
Tails’ Skypatrol (1995)
Tails Adventure (1995)
Sonic Labyrinth (1995)
Sonic Blast (1996)

The upgrade will also reportedly add Amy Rose as a playable character in the compilation’s existing games – Sonic the Hedgehog 1, 2, 3 and Sonic CD – as well as making Knuckles playable in Sonic CD.
It will also include all previously released Sonic Origins DLC, and the physical edition is said to include a 20-page artbook.

Quote
Hero-Ki was a minor celebrity back on Earth thanks to his cosplay and charity work but after being evacuated to The Taint, he’s had to turn those same skills towards more nefarious pursuits.
Armed with a specially modified camera to capture a target’s likeness and cosplay as them, Hero-Ki can use his penchant for disguise to evade threats and exploit the environment in HYENAS, as only the sharpest-eyed rival will be able to detect the clues that reveal him as an imposter.

Spy, Ninja, and Thief... they're usually identified as fast characters.
For me that Sonic costume does suit him as spy.

Samba de Amigo: Party Central adds two Sonic songs and a cameo from the blue blur himself

Quote
Sonic appearing in other Sonic Team games was a highlight of the Dreamcast era, so it was delightful to see the press release from SEGA this morning revealing that Sonic himself will be making a cameo in the upcoming Nintendo Switch exclusive Samba de Amigo: Party Central! Sonic and City Escape will play host to Amigo and his friends as players shake it to two songs from the Sonic franchise: “Escape From the City” from Sonic Adventure 2 and “Fist Bump” from Sonic Forces.
Check out the press release in the article link below.

SEGA decided not to participate in E3 2023
Even More Publishers Back Out

Quote
Concern over E3 2023's future is continung to grow, prompting more publishers to drop out behind Nintendo, Xbox, Sony, and Ubisoft.
SEGA confirmed to IGN that it would not be attending the show after all, saying in a statement, "After careful consideration, we have decided not to participate in E3 2023 as an exhibitor.
We look forward to sharing more information on announced and unannounced projects in the future."
Bandai Namco declined to provide an update on E3, but did confirm it would be attending Play Days.
Tencent confirmed through a spokesperson that Level Infinite would not be attending E3 2023, but that it had participated in Play Days in 2022 and “found it to be an ideal experience for showcasing our games to the media.”

Sonic Frontiers Calls You A Dirty Little Cheater For Using A Speed Glitch

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fr31RL5agAIKoz5?format=jpg&name=small)

Quote
Thanks to the latest update, Sonic Frontiers can detect cheating.
This unexpected feature was first spotted by Reddit user JoBroDX, over on r/SonicFrontiers. They spotted the asterisk next to their time after blasting through the first Cyber Space level in just 39 seconds.
Right now, it's not clear if the devs plan to do anything with this ability to detect cheaters. It's possible that a future update will add a worldwide leaderboard, disqualifying any of the times that are marked as using a homing dash.
That's the most plausible explanation so far, since you can still earn an S rank with the exploit.

Sega and Nintendo maybe """friends""" but they could still market from their rivalry if done properly.

For example if you YouTube "Coca-Cola vs Pepsi" you will find loads of official commercials of the two brands hating one another.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slwVFwPjUx4
But the thing is... both PepsiCo and Coca-Cola Company must have agreed and given rights to one another for adverts that allow their products to look inferior to the other, they consented to this because they knew the "rivalry" itself was marketable. If people are still arguing "Which is better, Coca-Cola or Pepsi?" then people with strong opinions on matter will continue buying both brands of drinks over it.

Sega and Nintendo could do the same if they wanted to given the history they had in the '90s. The next Smash Bros game could capitalize on this rivalry if they wanted to. It wouldn't hurt relations between them (any more than Nintendo already did) but they would both profit from the commercialised rivalry.
He still could learned it from school.
He's smart one so I guess he did attend school's classes.
Silver says his world had always been ash and cinders since before he was born. I doubt there was much of an educational system in place at the time.

Yeah, especially after pandemic, it forced gaming companies to organize, promote, and maintain their own gaming showcases.
And since it worked, they kinda longer need an event that's deemed to expensive to attend.

By testing first with TAS I guess but fear not since so far no "honest" players have been detected as a cheater, not even the article writer himself.

It could be done but I doubt Nintendo would want that.
They always tried to paint thmself as a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, uh, company.
Unlike SEGA who doesn't mind being seen as an evil company in their new game.

Silver says his world had always been ash and cinders since before he was born. I doubt there was much of an educational system in place at the time.

He taught by his mother which is one of the most genius people in the world.
Ah... sorry..
I guess I mistakenly remember him as Trunks.

It could but it wasn't as fun (hard to do, playing with maraca is quicker since we just have to move hands and each maraca has an infrared transmitter mounted on its cord so the inputs were being registered very fast too).
It also took away its uniqueness.

As of January 1 2024, Steam will officially stop supporting the Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 operating systems.

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FWIVPuTWQAMeFPD?format=png&name=small)

Quote
After that date, the Steam Client will no longer run on those versions of Windows. In order to continue running Steam and any games or other products purchased through Steam, users will need to update to a more recent version of Windows.
This change is required as core features in Steam rely on an embedded version of Google Chrome, which no longer functions on older versions of Windows. In addition, future versions of Steam will require Windows feature and security updates only present in Windows 10 and above.

Headcannon confirmed today that not only is the small team behind the addition of Amy Rose in all titles and Knuckles in Sonic CD, but also they “were also able to supply a few additional updates and enhancements to help make the title the best it can be” and added, “we appreciate [SEGA’s] openness to our feedback and suggestions.”

“This was a difficult decision because of all the effort we and our partners put toward making this event happen, but we had to do what’s right for the industry and what’s right for E3,” ReedPop global vice president of gaming Kyle Marsden-Kish said in a statement.
“We appreciate and understand that interested companies wouldn’t have playable demos ready and that resourcing challenges made being at E3 this summer an obstacle they couldn’t overcome. For those who did commit to E3 2023, we’re sorry we can’t put on the showcase you deserve and that you’ve come to expect from ReedPop’s event experiences.”

Yeah, especially after pandemic, it forced gaming companies to organize, promote, and maintain their own gaming showcases.
And since it worked, they kinda longer need an event that's deemed to expensive to attend.
It;'s sad. E3 was up there and it was common gamers like you and me that made it worth while. But when they became exclusive to VIPs, investors and what not it lost it's way.
By testing first with TAS I guess but fear not since so far no "honest" players have been detected as a cheater, not even the article writer himself.
Oh that's good.
It could be done but I doubt Nintendo would want that.
They always tried to paint thmself as a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, uh, company.
Unlike SEGA who doesn't mind being seen as an evil company in their new game.
I always regard Nintendo the sort to push Sega down the stairs and under press conference about it just say how clumsy Sega were.
"Partners" my ass.
He taught by his mother which is one of the most genius people in the world.
Ah... sorry..

Yeah Silver is from a thousand or so years into the future and is confirmed an orphan. I doubt he knows what ice is.
It could but it wasn't as fun (hard to do, playing with maraca is quicker since we just have to move hands and each maraca has an infrared transmitter mounted on its cord so the inputs were being registered very fast too).
It also took away its uniqueness.
I guess. Only way I can see a Saba Di Amigo game work without buying a hard copy with maracas would be a VR release.

Atlus Suggests New Sega Mascot After Sonic's 'Murder'

Of all the demons and Personas that have been designed and included in each game, one in particular stands out among the rest and is considered Atlus' mascot That SMT demon would be Jack Frost, with the snowman first appearing in Megami Tensei 2, before adopting its most iconic design post Shin Megami Tensei 1.
Since the frosty fellow's longevity worked for Atlus, the company's Twitter suggested that he could be Sega's mascot instead of Sonic.

I dunno if it was made just as an April Fools Day joke game, but for a "joke game" it was actually really fun to play! If they at least had Studiopolis voice cast I'd say it would of been worth to purchase over for free (although around £5 or so). I hope Sega will release more Sonic games like these in the future.

Depended on how busy the Sonic's Social Media Marketing team is.
Besides creating a short game like this versus a long one that could stand up to other Sonic games took different amount of time, manpower, and budget.

At this point it's likely Sammy has cannibalized Sega in the partnership and just keep the SegaSammy name for promotional reasons.

At least after pandemic (pachinko and pachislot took a big hit during pandemic), they're focusing a lot on video games again.

For those unfamiliar, The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog is a murder mystery/visual novel game that surprise launched on Steam just before April Fools' Day 2023.
In the game, which is free, it is Amy Rose's birthday and she's hosting a murder mystery party that has Sonic becoming the victim. However, things quickly start feeling a bit strange.
It's then your job, as a new character, to interrogate Sonic's friends and try to get to the bottom of this mystery on the train known as the Mirage Express.

The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog is the top-rated Sega game ever on Steam

Steam actually has two separate trackers and they have their own ways of weighing reviews, though both still place the game within the top 100.

SteamDB currently has The Murder Of Sonic The Hedgehog in 61st place overall, higher than any other Sega game.

Steam250, on the other hand, charts it at 98th place at the time of writing.
Still higher than the rest of the Sonic series (in fact, no other Sonic game sits in the top 250), but below the likes of Persona 5 Royal (93rd place) and Persona 4 Golden (65th place).
Although it’s debatable whether Atlus’ stuff should be considered seperately.

Depended on how busy the Sonic's Social Media Marketing team is.
Besides creating a short game like this versus a long one that could stand up to other Sonic games took different amount of time, manpower, and budget.
Well after how successful TMoStH was for just a one-off joke game, they maybe encouraged by Sega to make more.
At least after pandemic (pachinko and pachislot took a big hit during pandemic), they're focusing a lot on video games again.
I guess the one good thing that came out from all of that.
Ah.. You meant from the trailer.
I thought the HYENA social media.
Amy and Knuckles plushies never got highlight.
Well, I do find Hero-Ki a rather.. questionable choice of Sonic association.
I mean, if it was me, I would of made Hero-Ki the Scout (https://www.teamfortress.com/classes.php?class=scout)/Tracer (https://overwatch.blizzard.com/en-gb/heroes/tracer/) of the team. Or the very least make him like Sonic Man (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Sonic_Man) who I imagine is an athletic human who is trying too hard to be a hero at the cost of his safety and well being.

To be fair, it's unfair to compare this game to say, Sonic Frontiers or Sonic Generations given you have to pay for those games and this TMoStH is suppose to be a fun yet easy time-killer of a game.

Don't get me wrong, I would love sequels to the game, especially if they're willing to beef it out a bit, such as Layton-style puzzles or something of the like.

Yes but that's still depended on how much Sonic Team gave the team permission to use Sonic's refference.

It's unfair indeed, also considering that it's a free game too.
Should be compared to other free games (Sonic Dash, Sonic Forces Mobile) but people could celebrate anything so I don't really mind.

It might still encourage Sega to allow the team behind TMoStH to make another game though.

Morio Kishimoto has confirmed that Spin Dash is coming to Sonic Frontiers with Update 2! 

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FtTsvlhacAA7Emc?format=jpg&name=small)

Quote
A line of code in the latest update shows that holding the rightmost face button along with the L Trigger will cause a spin dash on the ground while holding the L Trigger in the sky will have Sonic coming down with a spin dash as well.
This doesn’t appear to work currently, and may only be there for future characters.

Flynn announced his return via his personal Twitter account, explaining that the details of the story were given to him by game director Morio Kishimoto and that his job is to simply flesh everything out and add some detail.
However, Flynn couldn't resist teasing the Sonic community just a smidge, and states that the upcoming story DLC for Sonic Frontiers will be "truly important".

Right off the bat, we can see the many improvements that have been made to Sonic '06 with this project.
Silver now moves faster than before and can be seen using his telekinetic abilities in a much more aggressive manner for both combat and traversal.
Additionally, we see that his tag partners (Amy and Blaze) have also seen some improvements in their movesets, allowing for better movement and equally better pacing in P-06.

2 Characters Were Cut from The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fskg5ThaUAAkMTi?format=jpg&name=small)

Quote
One of the first things that they settled on was the humor and interactions for The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog.
This includes nailing down roles for characters like Espio, Blaze, and Vector, with Espio being considered to roleplay as a doctor instead of a poet at one point.
However, there is one noticeable absence from the Chaotix trio, Charmy Bee, which Chrzanowski cites as him being too young to be participating in a murder mystery game.

Dunno who she is but the engrish is cute.

The song is also good no matter who sings it.

I just hope it actually has Tails, Knuckles or Amy as playable characters... and not Tangle because he can.

No worries, he doesn't get to pick the characters, Sonic Team does.

I can't wait for the finish piece with full story with town missions and such.

Later at SAGE 2023 I think they'll be ready to show more results

The theme wouldn't be about murder if those two involved.

For the current fiscal year ending in March 2023, Sega plans the global simultaneous launch and multi-platform support for 12 new non-mobile games, which are expected to sell 12 million units (it's worth mentioning that the English version of the announcement includes a typo and reports 1.2 million units. The Japanese version has the correct figure).
According to the company, the conversion of its current IPs into global IPs is progressing and the growth strategy is moving to the next stage.
The core factors in that strategy going forward are treating its IP pool as a treasure island and reviving and scaling globally recognized IPs by reforming them to fit modern demand.
We also hear more about the acquisition of Rovio, which Sega hopes will change its mobile footprint from 12% overseas and 88% in Japan to 45% overseas and 55% in Japan.
The following synergies between ...

They're still just names.
Tangle was playable in Sonic Forces and Sonic Dash. Made by SEGA HARDLight, though Ian is most likely involved.
But Sticks appeared and playable in story mode of Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, a game made by Sonic Team themselves, and Ian definitely is not involved here.

I want to play it when it's a full game.

Might have to wait for months. It won't be finished soon.

I do hope we get more Sonic visual novel puzzle games.

If there will be one, I doubt it will be as famous as Murder if it isn't free.

True, but now that Ian Flynn is writing stories for the main games, I'm just saying Sonic Tea should be careful with him. Mr. Flynn been writing for Archie comics longer than IDW and he mustn't just shoehorn characters or concepts that would make sense for the comics but be underused for the games.

I can wait.

That's fine. I wouldn't mind paying if more effort was put into it than before. Heck I think Murder of Sonic could of been sold for around around £3 if they wanted to.

That means that the title sold 300,000 units from April, in just a month.
That would mean that Sonic Frontiers has long lasting legs and that probably has to do to the free roadmap that Sonic Team has released.
For example Sonic Generations sold 3 million units and it still seems Sonic Frontiers can easily break the 4 million sold marker by this fall!

Not only is it the weirdest SRB2 mod I have ever seen but the fact it was made a few months after Sega brought the rights to Angry Birds it's impressive how something complicated looking was made in a short time.

Either that or the developers of this mod has been working on this for long time and now seemed a good time to present it.

Glad for it's success.

In Facebook some of Sonic fans begins to attack Frontiers after this achievement. Why now though. Guess they'd complain about almost anything.

Someone must have loved Angry Birds/Piggies very much. Or SRB2. Or both.

Some of them compared to other Sonic games though (Heroes, Colors, Unleashed) so it might be just  a civil war among Sonic fans.

I don't know what this fan game is.

Well, it's not out yet so understandable.
It's a fan project being made in Unity that tried to implement Sonic Advanced 3's ability to play two characters in a partner settingin a 3D world.

Tears Of The Kingdom Seemingly Uses Sonic Adventure's Spin Dash Sound Effect

Quote
The sound of the Zonai fan being hit and activating sounds remarkably similar to the one used in Sonic Adventure when Sonic does a spin dash.
To prove this, the user shared two clips of the sounds in question, and while I am no audio expert, they do sound very similar.
Although the sound in Zelda is very faint and easily missed unless you're listening for it, it certainly sounds familiar.

Two conclusions can be drawn from Tenacious D's new animated music video, Video Games.
One is that Jack Black clearly has a great love for the hobby, and two is that unfortunately he's never read the PC Gamer style guide—it's 'videogames', dude.
Word crimes aside, the video is a short but brilliantly entertaining trip through Black's favourite digital worlds, including God of War, Fallout 4, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Sonic the Hedgehog.

The Sonic Frontiers devs are aware that the final island is a bit dull, with the director saying that an update is on the way.

It's not clear how this will be pulled off, but it could mean that it will be filled with more challenges, perhaps ones that are more difficult than the current offerings, given that fans are complaining that the final part of Frontiers is a tad anti-climactic.
"As everyone has pointed out here, I also agree that the climax of [Ouranos] Island, which is the largest island, lacks excitement and becomes repetitive," says Kishimoto. "We are currently working on an update for this issue as well!"

If he's in Sonic movie, what role will fit him the most?

Sonic Kingdom hearts game?

Yes.

"In the global marketplace, AAA game titles for console have been sold at $59.99 for many years, but titles sold at $69.99 have appeared in the last year.
We would like to review the prices of titles that we believe are commensurate with price increases, while also keeping an eye on market conditions.
Also, for titles that are planned to be offered via subscription services, revenue made via contract deals are also included in sales figures, so we would like you to be aware that when these figures are divided by the number of units, there is an apparent impact on the increase in unit price," the response reads.

If he's in Sonic movie, what role will fit him the most?
Honestly, I can imagine him just as good as Dr. Eggman as he would be for Bower... if he didn't mind shaving.
Given more humans than Dr. Eggman have not been introduced since Adventure, '06 and Unleashed I can't realy think of any other roles for him.
Yes.
Is it a mod of Kingdom Hearts or is it a fan game?

I'm not sure if that's still true. Either Nega is an alt-dimension version of Dr. Eggman or at some point in the future one of Dr. Eggman's descendants both time-travelled and dimension-hopped to the Sol Dimension.
I never finished any Kingdom Hearts games. The story always confused me and I was too lazy to explore them.
I used to follow them in the first two games, then they had more spin-off games as PERSONA and lost track of it all.

This week's list is remarkably similar to past weeks and for a good reason.
The anticipation of what's coming next is bubbling beneath the surface for new characters like Spider-Boy, who has taken the comic community by storm.
At the same time, classics like Sonic, Ghost Rider, Grand Admiral Thrawn, and Captain America fill out the roster.
Mark Millar's Ambassadors is doing remarkably well (without breaking the bank) along with the Nakayama Silk #1 variant that made a big jump ...

Actually he's kinda overpowered. According to his official Marvel page, Spider-Man is capable of lifting up to ten tons, and that means that he is a lot stronger than some of the other characters that have peak-human strength.

Hyper Sonic Just Got Referenced For The First Time Outside Of Sonic 3

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FxGacHmWwAgGG7g?format=jpg&name=small)

Quote
We're all familiar with Super Sonic - the form that the Blue Blur takes when he has all seven chaos emeralds.
But back in the retro era, this was far from the limit to Sonic's power.
In Sonic the Hedgehog 3, the super emeralds were introduced, allowing our hero to turn into Hyper Sonic, an even more powerful form. So powerful, in fact, that Sega never brought it back.

Well, until now that is. After an almost 30-year absence from the series, Hyper Sonic finally appeared in an official product.
It just happens that this official product is a texture pack for Minecraft.
This revelation was ...

Before its discontinuation, the Archie Comics Sonic the Hedgehog series capitalized on the aspect of Silver where the time-traveling hedgehog prematurely jumps to conclusions that are always wrong, except he makes multiple incorrect assumptions.
Each of them also gets increasingly preposterous to the point where Sonic temporarily becomes Silver's enemy and attacks his silver-colored counterpart because of how hurtful his accusations are.
In fact, Silver messes up so many times that he actually finds himself trapped in Sonic's world, where ...

Aubrey Plaza Eyed For Sonic 3 Movie Villain

As for exactly what role Aubrey Plaza may soon be offered, we don’t know for sure, but the most likely candidate would seem to be the flirtatious and mysterious Rouge the Bat.
First appearing in the 2001 game Sonic Adventure 2, Rouge is a jewel thief obsessed with gems.
Like many of Plaza’s best roles, upon first impression Rouge comes off as something of a ditsy airhead, but in reality is quite intelligent and strategic-minded.

That's actually kinda fit with Spider theme since spiders are also thought to symbolise anxiety or protection.
Peter oftenly got anxiety moment but his desire to protect others are really strong that he overcame his anxiety.

The Sonic Adventure HD project is the work of the team behind the SonicRemasters Twitter account.
According to the creators, the mod will aim “to faithfully recreate every single texture in the game in high definition,” while remaining faithful to the original’s style and feel.
In a short sample video released by the team, you can see side-by-side comparisons of the original game and the HD project.
The changes are subtle. The grass, stone, and sea textures are far smoother - which is exactly what, as fans, we want. The project very clearly ...

"That was the original concept. I don't know whose concept that was, or why that sounded like a super good idea to them."
It's a truly bizarre origin story, one which ...

That sounds like "Peter tingle"
If you put it that way, sounds a bit pervy.
"oooh, my peter is tinglng!"
In comic yes.
Oh yeah, I forgot they had a comic series.
No. It's not on official Google Playstore. It's an APK, an app that could run / be installed in android phone.
Ah, oh well. I hope Sega gives this project some recognition though.

I wouldn't say that. I mean, if there was a remaster that's "faithful to the original" with some changes (for example, Conkers Bad fur Day (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conker%27s_Bad_Fur_Day) and Conker: Live & Reloaded (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conker:_Live_%26_Reloaded)) then BetterSADX would be more like a fix as well as a passion-project of the original Sonic Adventure game for PC that coulda,woulda shoulda.

If we get a remake of Sonic Adventure, well it depends how different and expanded the game will be in comparison to the original (for example, Final Fantasy VII (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_Fantasy_VII) and Final Fantasy VII  Remake (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_Fantasy_VII_Remake)) then BetterSADX would be more like both a homage as well as how Sonic Adventure was regarded to the fans before the remake.

That said, I don't think BetterSADX would be wasted effort either way, it was made with more love than whoever Sega put in charge porting the game to Pc in the first place.

We at least got Chao in Space eventually.

And mods will probably be a matter of time. (I mena, have you seen the Super Mario 64 mod for Garry's Mod and Half-Life 2?)

If you can play as Mario from Super Mario 64 in a FPS game like Half-Life 2, putting Sonic in System Shock may not be al that impossible.

there's a lot of talk of the Adventure games maybe remastered given how Frontiers reminiscent the Dreamcast-era of games.

It just comes down to whoever is bothered to make it I suppose.
Like, someone put in the effort into accurately recreating Mario 64 on GMod and Half-Life, I doubt they'd do it for Sonic.

Then again, I never tested this SWEP (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1782552769) on Half-Life 2 myself

Like Drop Dash back then at first, but somehow Sonic remember again how to do that in Forces and Frontiers eventhough he couldn't remember how to do it in Adventure, Colors, Unleashed, etc.

When Sonic manages to collect all seven Chaos Emeralds, he can become Super Sonic; he gets his own unique sprite when in this form.
That said, other classic Sonic characters, including the newly-added Amy in this collection, do not have different sprites when collecting the Chaos Emeralds; their sprites are simply a different hue.
Ultimately, though, I think most Sonic fans are just happy to be able to play as Amy Rose finally.
Another Sonic fan, however, argues that ...

Probably yes. While each Chaos Emerald grants Sonic/friends a unique special ability (swimming up waterfalls, multiplying themselves, etc), Iizuka-san also hinted at the potential inclusion of “a Super Sonic power” when all seven Chaos Emeralds are collected.

Quote
A power Surge is about to hit Central City! Can Sonic and friends stop her before it’s too late?

Surge is angry and plots her comeback, but she needs more power, and she needs it now. Sonic’s friends race to stop her rampage, but there’s something different about her. As things start to look dire for Sonic and Tails, they find support in the form of Surge's old sidekick, Kit! He's on their side...right?

But Surge’s plan is bigger than anyone thought! With a little help, she's going to turn the place of her greatest torment into the place of her greatest triumph: Dr. Starline's former base, now a trap for Sonic, Tails, Dr. Eggman, and Metal Sonic!

Collects Sonic the Hedgehog issues #52–56.

Well, actually it is OK to have no friends as long as it's not impacting our mental health.
After people grow up and began to work it is not uncommon for them to go through periods of time where they feel like they don't have any friends.
Still we might consider reaching out to people who share our interests or looking for social groups or activities where we can meet new people if we really want to have one.

Sonic Superstars physical release details leak ahead of Sonic Central event – LEGO Eggman pre-order bonus revealed

Priced at $59.99, the physical release goodies are very much welcomed. It has been a long time since Western fans received such bonuses in a base Sonic game, outside of the usual art books found in Origins Plus and Mania Plus.
It is worth noting that in the lead up to tomorrow, the LEGO social accounts have teased a clip of LEGO Sonic tied up. This could be ...

Well, actually it is OK to have no friends as long as it's not impacting our mental health.
After people grow up and began to work it is not uncommon for them to go through periods of time where they feel like they don't have any friends.
Still we might consider reaching out to people who share our interests or looking for social groups or activities where we can meet new people if we really want to have one.
I might see if some SNN buddies may wanna play.

Quote
You'll notice in the patch notes further down for this update that the patch added new "Action Chain Challenge" for Sonic to try.
To get Spin Dash, you'll have to get an S-Rank in all of those challenges.
That might not be what players want to hear if they were expecting to Spin Dash from the get go right after downloading the update, but one of the fans who alread got the move said that it only took them about 2-3 hours to get Spin Dash, so if you're starting a new game with New Game+, it shouldn't be too much of an issue to get this move along the way.
Aside from the Spin Dash mode, there's ...

It's weird how Sonic Team are stretching the marketing on this game.

I won't complain since it's free and my kids seem to enjoy the colourful display.
And it's a lot better than how they did with Sonic Origins.
I already annoyed about Sonic Origins Plus on how they forced me to pay the same things again (Classic Music Pack and Premium Fun Pack) since I already got them when I bought the digital deluxe version.
But no, I have to buy them again in the "Plus Expansion Pack" if I want the new plus content pack and charged them all 10 bucks (instead of 5 bucks for just plus content pack).
I can't buy plus content pack alone.

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FzUEV30XoAEB7m3?format=jpg&name=small)

And it's not about money, the difference's just 5 bucks afterall, it's about how you treat fans fair and square.
I'm really mad and dissapointed at SEGA this time.
And we both know how rare is that.
I'll probably never buy their digital games again, I'm back to physical games now.

So will there be some sort of "Lego Mode" in Sonic Superstars where everyone is Lego characters?

May be. So far only Sonic is shown.

SRB2infinity - Release Trailer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7p4mCqpW9DM

Quote
SRB2infinity is a total convertion mod for Sonic Robo Blast 2 that turns it into a Phantasy Star game inspired by Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity.
It's been about 5 months in the making and is still pretty rough but I believe it's good enough for a first release!

You can find more information about the mod on the SRB2 Message Board thread.
Hope you have fun playing this, cause I sure had a blast making it!

While the game wasn’t perfect, fans would still want the developers to give it another try, especially considering the original game ended in a cliffhanger where our heroes return from space only to find out Eggman had taken over the world while they where gone.
Sonic and his friends left earth to beat Argus, only to find out that time moves slower in space, thus coming back to a planet taken over by Eggman seems more logical.
If you guys skipped Sonic Forces, its basically the idea behind that plot that Eggman had won and taken over the world, shaping it in his image.
Did You Know Gaming also took Ken Pender’s side of things and his opinion has been the same since he started this legal mess. He is a creator taking on a billion dollar company for the characters and work he created.
I’m all for independent characters owning their own characters and work, but I think when your work is part of a franchise you didn’t create its it a bit much. For example, ...

A bit different to how I imagine Chronicles 2 will be but some similarities.

I imagine Sonic Chronicles 2 would return to Dr. Eggman indeed taking over the world as Miles Holmes said, but not without severe opposition from GUN. With Central City and Metropolis being warring capitals.
Along the adventure you team up with Gemerl who tags along, and you learn more history of the Nocturnus Clan, all the while an echidna (inspired by Doctor Finitevus) leaves the Twilight Cage in pursuit of the heroes.

We learn that the Nocturnus Clan did not create Emerl but that he was a "gift" from a mysterious benefactor. When the echidnas figured out how to mass produce Emerl to make war machines called Gizoids, the "benefactor" is revealed to be Argus, who passed judgement on Nocturne.

Inspired by Skyrim civil War (https://elderscrolls.fandom.com/wiki/Skyrim_Civil_War), the player can choose to side with either GUN or the Eggman Empire (with Dr. Eggman actually doing some ethical and noble deeds while GUN has done some horrible deeds to balance it out.)

I can imagine the game concluding with Gemerl "remembering" his former purpose as a herald to Argus, and depending on the player's choices throughout the game can lead to either Central City or Metropolis being sent to the Twilight Cage.
(I would even go as far as killing off Shade, I don't hate her or anything, I just think a dramatic yet noble death would make her more interesting of a character. Like Aerith Lockhart.)

I won't mind Shade's death but the idea would be rejected in Sonic games due to their desired ratings.
It could be done in comic or TV series but it's really a big no to CERO A or E (Everyone) rated games.

Why didn’t Sonic make the list? Good question, SEGA did release Sonic Origins Plus, it came out at the end of June which could mean that the game hasn’t had enough time to sell enough to make the top 30.

I've heard of this over on SNN. Some fans are concern or against the idea of rebooting the main Sonic series continity, others are for it. I myself think that sonic series will not be rebooted because it's already Sega's most thriving, most popular franchise.

I'm hoping it will mostly be remakes than reboots. We already had Sonic Origins which is somewhat like a remake of the Classic-era of Sonic games. A remake of the Adventure games would be great!

They want to keep challenge themselves with new games.
Remaking old games feel like they have ran out of idea.
But we know it's not the case anymore ...

May be SEGA back then was also thinking this way.

In Sonic the Hedgehog #62, a villain who almost killed everyone on his team has now successfully infiltrated Sonic HQ to finish what he started.
The Restoration has been preventing Clutch from gaining Egg Tech while turning a profit.
Mimic initially turns down the offer, but eventually agrees to participate once Clutch informs him that Whisper and Tangle are part of the Restoration.
Whisper's nemesis also learns that the duo are part of a new vanguard called ...

May be there's a connection error when you hit the post button.
Likely, I'm using a minihub made for mobile devices. I can't even access devART. And I can only respond to post with puer scripting.
They could but the impact will be different.
I know. I'm not saying I hate Shade or find her useless. I just think it would e an unexpected twist. Aerith Gainsborough comes to mind.

while I probably won't get round to playing the new Zelda game, I still like them.
I remember back then Square Enix didn't want to remake Final Fantasy VII.
They want to keep challenge themselves with new games.
Remaking old games feel like they have ran out of idea.
But we know it's not the case anymore ...

(https://media.tenor.com/jtr5LNDOPd4AAAAd/final-fantasy-vii-remake-ff7.gif)

May be SEGA back then was also thinking this way.
But now I can see Adventure remake is on the way when they ran out of idea to fill the gap between main titles (Frontiers to its sequel), just got to be patient.
Adventure remakes and "Adventure 3" seem to be the most highly requested games in the fandom.

Yeah, but the game has Teen Rating , not Everyone Rating.
Besides, before Final Fantasy VII did it, SEGA had already did it with Phantasy Star II and Phantasy Star IV.
That's why death in Final Fantasy VII and Valkyrie Chronicles didn't really impact me as much as most gamers since I already played PSII and PSIV first.

Install XENIA first if you are using PC and then follow this step :

1. Get (or dump) a Sonic Free Riders copy and unpack it. Also it is recommended to backup default.xex file somewhere else on your computer.

2. Open RidersStuff folder and choose the version for your platform (Xenia or Xbox360)

3. Copy all files from the chosen folder to the root directory of your unpacked game

4. If everything's done correctly, the mod should work

5. If you're on PC and use Xenia, don't skip this step! Find a Xenia's configuration file (Documents folder or AppData/Roaming, if it's portable then in Xenia root directory) and set gpu_allow_invalid_fetch_constants to true and set protect_zero to false

It looks well good!

Comparing to Sonic Origins, this opening is still not perfect though.
From Warp Format (quoted from Sonic Stadium) :

 "There’s SO MANY animation errors... Not only are the drawings wildly inconsistent but Sonic suddenly gains 2 right hands,"
they explained, adding that other areas of the video appear "choppy", lacking depth perception, characters that teleport positions and camera transitions that "doesn't flow properly at all."

Sonic Superstars | Exclusive Coverage Trailer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73ZKMYPAQ78

Quote
Sonic Superstars emerged as one of the most exciting announcements of Summer Game Fest 2023, and now we're diving deeper into the exciting 2D adventure starring Sega's Blue Blur. We spent two days in Sonic Team's studio in Burbank, California, playing through nearly half the game and speaking with the developers behind the next Classic Sonic title. The 12-page cover story – available to digital and print readers – and our exclusive online coverage over the next month should give you all the information you need about Sonic Superstars before it comes out this fall.

We have a slate of YouTube videos revealing every Emerald Power in Sonic Superstars, exclusive hands-on impressions of Superstars’ first six zones, an interview with Takashi Iizuka looking back at his career with Sega since 1992, and how Sonic Team plotted to kill its mascot in The Murder of Sonic The Hedgehog.

If you’ve enjoyed this look-ahead, please click the like button to boost the video, subscribe if you’re new to the channel, and drop a comment below, letting us know which character you’re playing as first in Sonic Superstars. We make it a point to respond to your comments ¬– especially shortly after we upload the video.

Thanks for watching, and we’ll see you next time!

Yeah, but what I meant are more multiplayers games for Chao.
If I recall, Sonic Team did had ideas for that at the time with Sonic Adventure, but they couldn't impliment it.
Yeah, or some still calling it as ROM / ISO.
Ah rom, OK.

I still feel a bit iffy on "Emerald Power" because, the way I figure, the Chaos Emeralds aren't supposed to have a sense of identity other than colours. Each emerald is supposed to be just as chaotic and potent as one another. Which is why Shadow isn't too picky with which emerald to use for Chaos Control or any of his Chaos abilities.

Sonic Team's Takashi Iizuka and Evening Star's Christian Whitehead give the behind-the-scenes story on why Sega didn't make a direct sequel to the massively successful retro-style game from 2017.
One major hurdle to providing a true successor to Sonic Mania is that Iizuka and Sonic Team wanted to move away from the pixel-art graphics with the next new title in the Classic Sonic series.
"When you make a 2D game using pixel art, you kind of end up targeting a very specific core audience," he says. "We wanted to bring ...

Isn't gameplay what matter most in a game?
Plus, I have a feeling that Sonic Frontiers will be tied in with Sonic Superstars some way or another. I mean the Special Stages, or at least possibly the Bonus Stages, they look like they take place in some sort of digital dimension. So if Northstar Island is in the vicinity of Starfal Islands or have Ancient tech on it, I wouldn't be surprised if the Chaos Emeralds individual powers were due to cyber space (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Cyber_Space).

Meet Trip, The First New Sonic Character Created By Naoto Ohshima In Decades

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F2i31DDXcAsFJrn?format=jpg&name=small)

Quote
"We sent visuals back and forth and had an ongoing dialogue about what the personality should be like," Ohshima says.
"Ideas came up for the character's actions and themes, like an armored lizard and the ouroboros.
I worked on the design while discussing the ideas with Iizuka-san."

"When you look at her, obviously she's covered in armor, and the reason why she's covered in armor in the game is the base of her character is a sungazer lizard in English," Iizuka says.
"In Japanese, it's more direct – it's literally 'armored lizard' in Japanese. But the sungazer is that animal that was being referenced for the deign of Trip."

My only direct interaction with Trip during my hands-on session comes during Act Amy in Lagoon City Zone. After stumbling upon her, she doesn't seem ...

Yes, they could be tied.
Also the new character, Trip, looks like she wears something to safely travel between dimensions.. Digital dimensions may be...

It further reinforces my guess. Maybe trip will be the new character in the new Sonic Frontiers DLC story.

Is she confirmed to be a lizard?

Yes, Iizuka said it himself. She's a sungazer lizard / armored lizard.

(https://thumbs.gfycat.com/PointlessHideousAlleycat-size_restricted.gif)

Quote
"When you look at her, obviously she's covered in armor, and the reason why she's covered in armor in the game is the base of her character is a sungazer lizard in English," Iizuka says.
"In Japanese, it's more direct – it's literally 'armored lizard' in Japanese. But the sungazer is that animal that was being referenced for the design of Trip."

Q: Which are the top titles you have planned for the future? Which do you expect to have the largest sales volume?
A: We have high hopes for Sonic Superstars and both the Persona and Yakuza series as the major releases for this period.
The top seven titles are expected to sell around 1 million units. We would like Sonic Superstars to sell around the same as Sonic Frontiers.

Despite the ongoing actors' strike, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 will begin filming, focusing on CGI scenes without actors, to ensure it meets its 2024 release date.
The addition of more CGI characters like Shadow allows for a greater number of scenes to be filmed without the need for actors, potentially addressing the critique of the previous film's focus on human characters.

Oooh! I wonder if she'll look like Espio?

Her colour is not green so probably not. Probably.

This'll keep me amused... for about an hour or two.

It could keep me amused if I had this one when I was a kid.
Nowadays nothing could beat internet and smartphone/PC/console.

I do like the energy and enthusiasm it gave.

It does remind me of when I used to play SA2B versus mode with my friend... Other than Sonic 2, 3&K and 4, most Sonic games weren't that co-operative.

How A Zoom Drinking Party Led To Sonic Superstars

"Ohshima-san said, 'Hey, Iizuka-san, we should get on Zoom and have a drinking party together," Iizuka recalls.
"We did, and we started drinking and chatting and had the conversation of, 'Hey, we want to bring back a Classic Sonic game,' and in that drinking party, Ohshima-san said, 'I really, really want to get involved. Let's get together and make this happen,' and that's how it all kicked off."
Ohshima had been keeping up with the Sonic franchise, even though his last involvement with the series was prior to the turn of the century with Sonic Adventure on Dreamcast.
He has a strong appreciation for games like Sonic Colors, Sonic Mania, and Sonic Frontiers. However, his favorite is Sonic Generations, thanks to its ...

Kid and fans can recreate the action from the world of Sonic the Hedgehog™ with the Death Egg Playset. Sonic faces Dr. Eggman again, but this time inside the Death Egg for an epic battle! The notorious Dr. Eggman sits in the Egg Heart as you run Sonic around the track to defeat him! Switch to a different track to find the perfect angle of attack. Time it right to strike the Egg Heart multiple times to defeat Dr. Eggman and watch it explode. The playset comes with an exclusive Running-Sonic figure and Death Egg on a stand. Reassemble the Egg Heart to battle again. The Death Egg Playset stands over 12-inches high, and is great to display in your home. There are two tracks that you can move Sonic along. Guide your Sonic figure around the track to do a 360 spin! The track works with the included Sonic figure and other Sonic 2.5” Figures from JAKKS (other figures sold separately. Performance may vary with each figure). Build your world of Sonic the Hedgehog toys from Jakks by adding more Sonic friends, playsets and accessories (each sold separately). The playset does not use batteries. Assembly required. Some children will require assistance with assembly.

How fast can you go with the Sonic Speed R/C? Recreate the action from the Sonic the Hedgehog™ games as Sonic races to save the world and confront Dr. Eggman!

This R/C includes a detachable Sonic figure, R/C skateboard, and Gold Ring controller. The controller is inspired by Sonic’s Rings from the Sonic the Hedgehog™ video games, and has 3 buttons for total control: go forward, turn and 360-degree spins, and Turbo mode that lights the wheels up for that extra boost! Sonic Speed R/C is approximately 1:5 scale with design inspired by the Sonic the Hedgehog™ video games. The removable Sonic figure is 6-inches tall and has 13 points of articulation for awesome poses. Take your R/C and have fun on the go! This R/C requires 8 AA alkaline batteries. It has a range of 100 feet and works best on flat and smooth surfaces. It uses a 2.4GHz frequency. Adult supervision required. Some children will need assistance with assembly.

In 1996, SegaWorld London was opened in the London Trocadero at Piccadilly Circus and was Europe’s largest indoor theme park at the time.
However, due to low attendance it was closed three years later and taken over by the owners of the venue’s older Funland arcade.
Inside the 110,000 square feet venue stood an iconic Sonic the Hedgehog statue with a rotating globe perched on ...

That information was revealed in a recent video from YouTuber Adam Koralik, who apparently got the information from Sega a few years ago.
"They were like 'the problem honestly is that basically if we wanna release it as a console'- this was a few years ago so things have changed I'm sure- 'but if we wanna release it as a console, it's gonna be like 300 bucks.
Because we need to put like real hardware in it and the technology's just not cheap enough yet to actually do that. Nobody would be happy with a $300 price tag. People would be expecting a hundred. Everybody would be mad.' So, you'd get a high-quality product that prices too many people out," said Koralik.
Koralik went on to say that a cheaper alternative Sega was considering was ...

This news was revealed by Gamescom host and Summer Game Fest architect Geoff Keighley, who shared a brief video clip promoting Sonic Superstars' presence at the show on Twitter earlier this week. While vague on the details, Keighley promised a special "world premiere" with "superstar news" for the upcoming co-op side-scroller.
As noted above, a few details about Sonic Superstars have already been made public since the game's unveiling a few months ago. In addition to ...

This is one of longest trailer I've ever seen but it's really fun to watch. Still I probably only gonna try a very few of them.

For westerners may be.. For Asian I think it's not too small.

Depended on who have the statue now.

If it could actually played Dreamcast disks then the size wouldn't be "Mini" anymore (and would be more expensive), so yeah, business-wise it's wise to skip this for now.

More like Oswald skin for Mickey.

When the Blue Blur and Rad Red team-up, the bad guys better watch out!

The spotlight's on the guardian of Angel Island, Knuckles the Echinda! Tasked with protecting his floating home and the powerful Master Emerald, Knuckles has encountered the worst of the worst: Rough & Tumble, Neo Metal Sonic, and even Dr. Eggman! With nothing but his powerful fists--and maybe some help from the likes of Sonic the Hedgehog, Miles "Tails" Prower, and Blaze the Cat--Knuckles has beat them all back to protect not just his island, but the whole world!

Sonic the Hedgehog: Knuckles’ Greatest Hits contains Sonic the Hedgehog #3, Sonic the Hedgehog #10, Sonic the Hedgehog #11, Sonic the Hedgehog Free Comic Book Day 2022, and "Guardians" from Sonic the Hedgehog Annual 2022 by contributors Ian Flynn, Jennifer Hernandez, Tracy Yardley, Evan Stanley, Bracardi Curry, and Adam Bryce Thomas!

Who knows ... if his descedants needs money they could sell it again
True, but it be nice if these things were in the public (or the very least fandom) domain.
This is one of longest trailer I've ever seen but it's really fun to watch. Still I probably only gonna try a very few of them.
I might get around to play a few. Would be nice if I made something for SAGE someday.
For westerners may be.. For Asian I think it's not too small.

Depended on who have the statue now.
True. wouldn't be surprised if Excalibur was in some Americna rich snobs colleciton by now.
If it could actually played Dreamcast disks then the size wouldn't be "Mini" anymore (and would be more expensive), so yeah, business-wise it's wise to skip this for now.
There is some Dreamcast games I would like to play again sometime but can't get. Such as BlueStinger.
I have no answers. I don't know if it's just this or there is more of it for episode 1, I never installed Tiktok.

I just expected something at leats two minutes long.

Dreamcast game that I want to play is Samba de Amigo ver 2000. I heard it's ten time better than the mediocre Wii version.
It's another game I never got round to.
What is the maximum length for a TikTok video?

If it leans towards Sonic fans more I might give it a go.

I mean, I remember when TF2 was released, I thought it looked too cartoonish to be taken seriously as a FPS and will never go far.
Boy was I wrong.

I recently took a trip to Canada and was surprised to learn that a key filming location for the Sonic the Hedgehog 2 movie was just eight minutes off our main route! Located in Fort Langley, British Columbia, Canada, this location was home to much of the Green Hills scenes in the sequel including the town hall, main street and Mean Bean coffee storefront.

Head of Sonic Team, Takashi Iizuki, Shares Grim Prediction for Pixel Art

To me, that's like saying "2D animation doesn't have a long term future in the animation business". There will still be games that will choose the artstyle because they will feel it best fir for the game.
Take pizza tower for example, it looks like it was made in MSPaint, yet for some reason it became crazy popular!

I think he meant for their main games which are sold in retail with $40 or $60 tag price.
If it's digital games, SEGA's still producing 2D games but definitely with pricing that a lot cheaper than that.

Iizuka: Sonic Generations Not A Blueprint For Sonic Superstars Gameplay

"When you play Sonic Superstars or another of the classic games, there is not really a main route to follow.

The event was covered on both the Asahi and Mainichi Shimbun websites, with plenty of photos and video to go around. As it was a specific collaboration between SEGA and ANA Airlines, Sonic the Hedgehog was on the scene along with the airline company's mascot 'Muppy' to wave off departing flights from Kyushu, as well as have photos taken with cheerful passengers.

Apparently the entire partnership was introduced by ANA flight attendant Hiroe Honda, who wanted to set up an event to show gratitude to the Saga Prefecture for its support of the airline company during the COVID-19 pandemic. Honda-san herself had been assisting  ...

There was also the small matter of getting it to work on a non-Japanese computer, as it was never released worldwide.
However, as insurmountable as these issues might appear to the layperson, Ninji has successfully managed to get the game's practice mode working, recover its in-game shop (it had microtransactions, of course), and get the character customisation mode up and running. You can ...

I know, I just wish 1-ups were refurbished than dropped entirely. Especially how collecting 100 rings for a 1-up is a tradition.

If Sonic Forces has infinite lives but penalize failure, what if collecting a 1-up does the opposite of said penalty?
It does add variety to the game.

This issue is all about Silver the Hedgehog!
First, he’s incredibly suspicious of the Diamond Cutters’ new member and he jumps to a conclusion that leads him to some hasty accusations. Awkwardness ensues.
Then, Blaze comforts Silver as they bond over being away from home and in Sonic’s world.

It is ...  at leats in the heart of the fans.
With how often they release new issues, I'm rather "meh" on it.
Yeah but tradition is a guide and not a jailer.
I know, I just don't want the traditional elements to be dropped.
The lowest lows bring the highest highs.
Yeah but it's a water level, so if it's too high you're drowning!
I'm surprised he's not sleeping already while waiting players to make a move on golf courses.
I agree. Golf is boring.
Sonic's playing slot gambling while Kiryu's playing slot car toys.
And which game again is for "Mature" gamers?

I know, I just don't want the traditional elements to be dropped.

May be they could put Classic Mode but then again I rarely played Classic Mode in Sonic Origins, always choose the new modes.

Yeah but it's a water level, so if it's too high you're drowning!

Not Tails though. He could do both swimming and flying.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=te9QyqiOmGg

Unless he's distracted by something like collecting rings, wandering around, or anything that taking too much time.

Isn't there gambling in both?

Yes, but the games were rated for Mature and those slot car toys are more memorable than the gambling games.

I imagine this will be how Sonic Team invisioned the game is suppose to be.

Kinda took a long time since the next Sonic game (Sonic Superstars) is coming soon, but of course I'll still welcome it happily since it's free.

A classic mode could work. I recall the Crash and Spyro remakes had optional modes for infinite lives or not.
Not Tails though. He could do both swimming and flying.

NOT ENOUGH RINGS TAILS!
Yes, but the games were rated for Mature and those slot car toys are more memorable than the gambling games.[/quoteTrue, and kinda cute. Sega were known for racing toy cars back in the Japanese day.
Kinda took a long time since the next Sonic game (Sonic Superstars) is coming soon, but of course I'll still welcome it happily since it's free.
It probably explains why Sonic Superstars is rather pricey for a side-scroller, to make up for loss profit a Sonic Frontiers expansion could offer if they put a price tag on it.

With the way Unity is going, I may have to jump ship for that in favour of its competitor, Unreal Engine 5.

Many Unity developers are upset in giving up years of Unity experience... I am somewhat fortunate, given I've been so damn lazy to get into Unity to begin with. So I'm not at  aloss but never really gained anything to begin with.

Still the Unity projects I barely cobbled together could likely easily be remade in Unreal or even GoDot which I might duel-wield both than favour one or the other.

Eeeh depends. If it was a PSO2 Sonic-themed event that put much more effort in its last events, then sure, I'll get back onto PSO2 for it. But if it's a spin-off separate game then... well, maybe I guess. For Sonic, not for PSO2.

Each pin is about 1.5 inches tall, and the pack is limited to 400 pieces, making them rare and sought-after items for collectors.

A classic mode could work. I recall the Crash and Spyro remakes had optional modes for infinite lives or not.

And which one you usually choose?

NOT ENOUGH RINGS TAILS!

Time to enter the unlimited rings code!

It probably explains why Sonic Superstars is rather pricey for a side-scroller, to make up for loss profit a Sonic Frontiers expansion could offer if they put a price tag on it.

Or may be it's because most of the works for Superstars were developed by third party company (Arzest) ?
They have to split the profits for them too.

With the way Unity is going, I may have to jump ship for that in favour of its competitor, Unreal Engine 5.

Many Unity developers are upset in giving up years of Unity experience... I am somewhat fortunate, given I've been so damn lazy to get into Unity to begin with. So I'm not at  aloss but never really gained anything to begin with.

Still the Unity projects I barely cobbled together could likely easily be remade in Unreal or even GoDot which I might duel-wield both than favour one or the other.

Blessings in disguise, I guess.

Eeeh depends. If it was a PSO2 Sonic-themed event that put much more effort in its last events, then sure, I'll get back onto PSO2 for it. But if it's a spin-off separate game then... well, maybe I guess. For Sonic, not for PSO2.

Rappy + Sonic at 2024 Olympic Games probably ... if they lose the Mario license.

While I gave it a go too, I probably only just played them once and back to the new mode.

They are just relaxing at home because it's a holiday ("Respect for the Elderly Day"), though I don't think they are wandering around somewhere either when it's not a holiday.

In Battle Mode, players will take control of a Metal Fighter, customize it to their liking, and compete to win in three rounds of randomly selected battle stages:

Race – Reach the goal before the other players.
Zap Scrap – Shoot bullets to attack other players. Points are added when you damage an opponent and decrease when you take damage. Open an item box to earn a single powered up bullet.
Star Snatcher – Collect stars within the time limit. You will lose one star if you take damage.
Survival – Stay on the stage until the end while avoiding cannonballs flying from the back of the screen. The scaffolding will collapse if it is hit by a cannonball, or if you stay in one place for too long. If you fall off the screen, then you are out of the game.

Points are earned according to the battle ranking for each ...

I mena, if it was me, I'd use the mouse for steering, arrow kets for D-pad and mouse buttons for 1 and 2.

Uh, I mostly uses controller, I rarely play games with mouse (except if it's a puzzle or point and click adventure games).
Not sure if I'm gonna enjoy this kind of game if it uses mouse.

Nah I mean it's rather pricey. i have to wait until it's discounted after release.

It won't be long. I mean ... even Sonic Origins Plus was already on discount starting few days ago.

Uh, I mostly uses controller, I rarely play games with mouse (except if it's a puzzle or point and click adventure games).
Not sure if I'm gonna enjoy this kind of game if it uses mouse.
Well, it might be possible to use the analogue stick for steering and speed like normal but I think that robs it of the steering sensitivity of the Wii.
It won't be long. I mean ... even Sonic Origins Plus was already on discount starting few days ago.

In terms of graphics and animations, the aesthetic of the zones is absolutely beautiful and colorful to look at. If I could compare the level designs for Bridge Island and Speed Jungle Zone to the classic games, they would be up to par with Sonic CD and Sonic 3 & Knuckles, as both games allow you to speed through and explore around the zones in the game. A neat thing about exploring the zone is seeing other characters interacting in the scenery, like witnessing Amy hanging with the animals in Bridge Island Zone Act 2. The character animations in Superstars faithfully adapt their 2D sprite counterparts to full 3D and ...

Like Sonic Colors Ultimate?
I guess?

I mean, I found S&tSR controls uncomfortable, the Wii-mote may have been marketed to be held in various ways, but it's called the "wii-mote" because like a remote it is held with one hand.

But I sorta appreciate what S&tSR was trying to go for. A sort of on-rail platforming game that uses the tilt-function in a unique way.

S&tBK gave this up in favour for the movement to be done with the nunchuck though, so it is possible to translate movement with a joystick I suppose.

Agree. Soundtrack-wise I prefer S&tBK though.
The final boss song is so amazing.

Yeah comfort is important when playing. Not saying S&tSR wasn't as good as S&tBK just the control scheme didn't help.

SEGA cancels HYENAS and other unannounced titles by SEGA Europe

Quote
SEGA has cancelled the Creative Assembly-developed multiplayer first-person shooter HYENAS, as well as some other unannounced titles that were in development by its European entity, the company announced.
According to the company, the cancelations are in response to the lower profitability of the European region, which led to a title portfolio review of each development base in Europe.

The control was really refreshing and interesting the first time I played it, but it's kinda tiresome after some times.
Mini games are great though, better than Sonic Shuffle's.

In the video, VersaDile shows that the best way to get through the new perfect parries is to simply pause and unpause the game as quickly as possible to be able to tell when the attack is coming. Old-school, but it seems to work.
As for dealing enough damage to the bosses within the time limit, VersaDile shows that the best way to deal damage as fast as possible is simply to spam the stomp move over and over again. This is seemingly the best option for Sonic to hit as hard as possible while not taking too much time, ...

I don't think if I would of bothered with Hyena or not, but I don't like it when Sega of Europe get the short end of the stick between Sega of Japan and America. I don't want Sega to decide to relocate SoE elsewhere after Brexit or worse demolish it entirely.

The control was really refreshing and interesting the first time I played it, but it's kinda tiresome after some times.
Mini games are great though, better than Sonic Shuffle's.

Fans are calling Sonic Frontiers’ DLC ‘the hardest gameplay in any Sonic game’

Fans across Twitter, Reddit and various forums have been venting their frustration with some of the new challenges.
These include challenges that require the player to climb a large tower – with perfect platforming skills required and no checkpoints should they fail – and a final boss rush where the player has to defeat every boss in a row, and a single hit will kill Sonic.
A thread on Sonic Frontiers’ GameFAQs forum called “This DLC is way too hard” now stretches to 12 pages, with numerous players ...

At least even if they're relocated, SEGA Europe is still using english as main language.
SEGA Asia doesn't always use english, they mostly use chinese language.

Ooh, no wonder it feels no connection between the mini games and the game stories.
I played the mini games more than the main game so I guess it's a good thing they included them.
I wonder why S&tBK didn't include them again.

Yep, you're not alone. It's not just rather challenging, it's very challenging.
It's because Ouranos Island is the last island in the game thus it's suppose to have tougher monsters while players have already unlocked all the skills, familiarise themselves with them and have around 20-50 is their attack and defence stats. Final Horizon takes place on the same island, but Sonic's friends start off with 0 stats, 0 skill points and half their necessary skills locked. So yeah, bit of an unfair learning curve for these characters. I was concerned I couldn't figure out how to "attack" with Amy yet I still get my ass kicked by the guardians.
At least even if they're relocated, SEGA Europe is still using english as main language.
SEGA Asia doesn't always use english, they mostly use chinese language.
Yeah but... I want Sega of Europe to stay in UK. If they can't, can't we at least have a "Sega of UK"?

As fr hyena, I feel bad for those who wer egenuinely looking forward to it. I was curious if it would of been the next Fortnite or Overwatch.
Ooh, no wonder it feels no connection between the mini games and the game stories.

I didn't had any friends to play the party mode with. As for S&yBK, probably to make room for the fan art.

The learning curve (with new characters) is really unfair, it's like the developer making this DLC very hard in purpose just because some fans said Sonic Frontiers was too easy before.

I wish we have SEGA Indonesia branch. We got so many Yakuza, Persona, and Football Manager fans here.
Well, if Sega headquarters govern their territories by "continents", then Sega of Japan could cover all of Asia which I believe Indonesia is part of... that or the "continent of Australia".
After all despite Sega of Europe being located in england, they govern the marketing of all of Europe than just UK... obviously.
The same fans who're bashing CA in Facebook and Twitter for making HYENAS instead of the game they wanted, Alien Isolation 2.
yeah but it's kind of unfair for those fans to tell what kind of games for a company to make. What if they simply want to do other stuff? What if we like the other stuff they make? We'll never know if we hassle them to stay one-noted.

But Creative Assembly pretty much gave Sega some heavy-hitters such as Total War, Warhammer. And if they were at all working on an Alien Isolation sequel, it would be Sega that denied the fans, not CA.

There are SEGA Japan (https://twitter.com/SEGA_OFFICIAL), SEGA Korea (https://twitter.com/sega_korea), and SEGA Asia (https://www.facebook.com/sega.asiacs).
I believe SEGA Asia governs the marketing of all of Asia (other than Japan and Korea).
SEGA Japan only talks in Japanese, SEGA Korea only talks in Korean, only SEGA Asia sometimes talks in English.
SEGA Asia is located in Taiwan and since they are localizing the games into Chinese language too for Chinese market, they mostly speak Chinese.
But a few months ago they have started a subsidiary called SEGA SEA (https://www.facebook.com/sega.asia.EN) (SEA = South East Asian) and they use English language.

Fans be like that. Everytime a new Sonic 3D games came up, there're always 2D gameplay fans who complained and vice versa.
Also may be the owner of Aliens franchise who denied it, not SEGA, not CA.

That's good but I prefer Bridge Zone.

SEGA Is Bringing A Life-Sized LEGO Sonic The Hedgehog To PAX Aus 2023

Quote
LEGO Sonic took McNaught and team a whopping 103 hours to complete, and is made from 25,807 LEGO bricks. It’ll be on display over the whole PAX Aus 2023 weekend from October 6th to October 8th at the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre.

“As an old school gamer, I remember playing the original sonic back in the 90s until our hands hurt from playing too much! So having the opportunity to bring one of our favourite video game characters to life with LEGO bricks is awesome and we can’t wait to share it with everyone,” McNaught said in an accompanying press release. “We’re all big gamers here at The Brickman, there was no way ...

Eitherway, it's a blow for Sega Europe and those anticipating Hyena.

Yeah, this quoted paragraph from this article (https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/cancelled-shooter-hyenas-was-reportedly-segas-most-expensive-game-ever) sum it up :

Quote
Redundancies at developer Creative Assembly followed suit, with employees working on the Total War series also affected. “What I’m actually furious about is that the redundancies are affecting people who had nothing to do with Hyenas,” said one anonymous source. “Like IT, operations, marketing, HR, even some people over on TW, they bear no responsibility for this binfire.” 

More about its cancelation :

Cancelled shooter Hyenas was reportedly Sega's most expensive game ever

Quote
“So what went wrong? Total lack of direction"
Mixing parts from every other blockbuster shooter would seem like one way to achieve that goal, but alas. “Towards the end, there were people from Sega Japan more or less permanently at the UK office,” one anonymous source told Volound, “this has never happened the whole time I’ve worked at [Creative Assembly].”
Another anonymous source told Volound: “In the early days, Hyenas aimed for a ‘lovable rogues’ vibe, surviving in a messed-up world controlled by the elite, channelling Han Solo with a bit of Firefly for good measure.” The game apparently had a “gritty sci-fi” vibe with “a touch of NASA.”
That edgier edge lasted until Neil Blomkamp - the Hollywood director behind District 9 and Elysium - jumped aboard to provide some early ideas. Blomkamp apparently came up with the idea that players should fight over pop culture fossils from Earth - vinyl records, VHS tapes, and other lost physical media. Basically, you’d play as scalpers fighting over invaluable merch - like something out of a viral Black Friday disaster video, only this time with kinda cool abilities.
“He also had that idea of inserting a lot of internet humour ...

So it was cancelled not only because of an expensive development but a change in engine? I guess I can see why Sega pulled the plug if CA were all willy-nilly with it.
Plus, if the game was going to do the whole EA Loot box thing, that would not be fun. Even CA didn't sound to thrilled with some big shot Hollywood director taking the reigns of the style and development.

Also sometimes mentioned for Japan as SEGA of Japan, but that's just for colloquial term for Sega's main Japanese business, currently called Sega Corporation
Others weren't using it : SEGA Japan, SEGA Korea, SEGA Asia, SEGA Denmark, SEGA Austria, SEGA Germany, SEGA Europe, SEGA Taiwan, SEGA Belgium, SEGA Benelux, SEGA Netherland, SEGA HK, SEGA Spain, SEGA australia, SEGA France.

The change because some executives didn't want it to be dark and scary like Alien Isolation.
Eventough the game's was highly praised by reviews, Alien Isolation was a disappointment because the sales being low at launch.
It's only garnering more popularity after the game was given a very huge discount and eventually at free for some period.
That's why they try to change the the direction with the big shot Hollywood director.

Only Japanese version probably, other countries only uses rank but no sale numbers.
The thing is Sonic sales always low in Japan so Mario will surely beat him there by a lot margin.
Even among the top 30 pre-orderd games in Japan, Sonic Superstars never came up.
Meanwhile other SEGA games like Persona Tactica and Like a Dragon (both Gaiden and Infinity Wealth) continue to show up.

It's because Battleborn got so much advertising to hype the game before it launched.
I see. Still, a pity for Sega to kill some potential games.What wa sBattleborn gonna be about?
The advantage Sonic now has over Mario is ... his games are multiplatform.
HAha yeah! Sonic's gonna wiiiiiin!

You did know that your country has a history invading our land and colonizing us back then, right?
Under the leadership of Sir Thomas Stamford Bingley Raffles, Indonesia underwent many changes, including abolishing monopoly and slavery, and dividing the Java island into 16 residencies.

I don't feel bad about Battleborn's failure. Battleborn was made by Gearbox afterall, the developer who stole SEGA's money to make Alien Collonial Marines (but they use most of it to make their own game Borderland instead).

Yeah, still most British / Dutch / Portuguese that I met at least knows their country's dark history.
The one who didn't was from Japan.
Most Japanese youngsters weren't aware of the Japanese invasion of Indonesia since the government has erased some of their dark history from school's teaching.

Weeeelll.... There's a revival but it's not the one most SEGA fan expected.
The last game of the franchise was released in 2008, so this sequel could be considered as revival.

SEGA has announced a new medal pusher game “MONOPOLY THE MEDAL AMERICAN DREAM”

The British Empire was... something.

It was like what the Phoenicians did, trade routes and colonies... then it became twisted, bloody and underhanded along the way it went a bit Roman Empire. I know all countries, especially Indonesia, suffered quite a bit, but I think Africa and China had it worse (probably wrong, I only have rough knowledge on the British Empire history.)

I mean, the Natural History Museum in London has a lot of treasures they've taken during the British Empire. Some countries have asked for their stuff back, the museum's answer is "We're not done looking at it."

China used to have a monopoly on Britain over resources, engineering, transportation, silk and chinese tea. I think there was also the expenses importing it over to Britain. So they turned it around by introducing opium to the country. They used actual addiction to cripple them in debt to keep the tea going.

But you gotta admit, while not without bloodshed, the British Empire didn't need a global war to establish itself. If anything it was World War 1 and 2 that ended the British Empire given Britain suddenly grew a consciolus and wanted to help other countries than just move into them like an unwelcomed uncle.

First Sonic Superstars Reviews Praises SEGA’s Return To 2D

Quote
They felt it was an “evolution” of the classic titles Sonic had in the earlier SEGA console generations that helped launch his character.
While there are plenty of new elements for gamers to enjoy, it will feel like a nostalgic trip down memory lane, which many will enjoy hearing.
They also said that the title is fun to play, and yet there are difficult sections with the levels, so it’s not going to be a cakewalk to beat.
Ironically, one of the biggest negative points for the title was that there wasn’t any voice acting in the game.
Many will note that this harkens back to the original games when Sonic and friends didn’t talk. However, many would also say that this would’ve been a good time to bring in voice acting to “evolve” the ...

Avoiding unnecessary bloodshed and having learned from past mistakes are really welcome changes. Still back then some leaders view wars are necessary when we have to defend against something more "evil".
They said wars are the essential building blocks for peace and stability.
Now we have different kind of war.
Our government is now kinda having a "war" with China with how massive the imported goods now from them (Indonesia Imports from China was US$56.23 Billion during 2021) and they already shut down China's e-commerce service, TikTok shop, to help protect local physical and online retailers.
Indonesia was the first country Asia to pilot that app's e-commerce service in 2021 and became one of the biggest markets for TikTok Shop which then the app's suspected doing predatory pricing and invasive spying + private data collection.

Do you mean what I've been called the "Sega Renaissance" Such as Alex Kidd, Streets of Rage 4, House of the Dead and the other new remakes?

Different then.
Those "Sega Renaissance" were developed by third parties, while “MONOPOLY THE MEDAL AMERICAN DREAM” is now being developed by SEGA themselves.
The only games officialy revealed for those "Renaissance" are still same as two years ago : House of the Dead II remake and Panzer Dragoon II Zwei Remake.
Others (like Wonder Boy in Monster World remake, Altered Beast sequel, Gunstar Heroes sequel, and Jet Set Radio sequel) are still just rumour.

Sonic Superstars Is Being Refunded On Steam Over Epic Games Store Login

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F8h1wHpaEAAhZNe?format=jpg&name=small)

Quote
There are also a few people pointing out that this is nothing new for the PC gaming space, as fans of Ubisoft and EA titles have been putting up with additional launchers for the past decade. There are plenty other titles such as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Returnal that ask players to sign into an Epic Games Store account for crossplay purposes, so Sonic fans kicking off in this way is a tad bit strange. Still, it's understandable that you might not want to bog down your PC with half a dozen launchers, even if they're not being actively used. It also doesn't help that Sonic Superstars includes the ever controversial Denuvo DRM, so Steam users are getting a double whammy of bad news on launch. Couple that with  ...

Sonic Team Lead Talks Balancing Things For Sonic Superstars

(https://media.tenor.com/zuiFLtOaYcEAAAAd/sonic-superstars-sonic.gif)

Quote
“Getting that classic Sonic feel absolutely right was a huge priority for us. Making sure that the game feels how players expect a classic Sonic game to play, but with enhanced gameplay, modern ultra HD graphics, and presentation that is only possible with 3D graphics, that was our overall vision. We’re always looking for innovative ways to deliver a great Sonic game, and being able to combine familiar gameplay and a sense of nostalgia in a modern, fresh way was really exciting to us.”
“We wanted to create a game that friends and family could play together and, as with everything, it’s a balance to get that right.”
Part of that balance was trying to get the “momentum” of the game right so that players could race through it without feeling like they were leaving others behind.

Nude is just like girls wearing boys' clothes in Sonic World since male characters are mostly nude anyway.
I imagine "social standards" to mobians are actually rather different to humans, although human society has influence female mobians to take up interest in clothing and fashion while male mobians prefer minimalistic clothing.

I imagine it similar to how in parts of the Middle-east, it is regarded shameful for a woman to be seen with bare arms and face and not with her hijab (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hijab).

It could also be possible that male mobians do not have nipples and their sex organs are either internal, concealed or mostly unnoticeable, while female mobians do have nipples that they may feel required to cover.

As for why female mobians don't go bottomless (I mean, what they have would probably be less noticeable than dangly bits) it's probably out of comfort or protection.

All in all, male mobians appear to be seminude as a standard cultural thing for them and humans that co-exist on the same world as them seem understanding and regard it normal without regarding it as exhibitionism.

But female mobians used to be bottomless back then, it's just after "Genesis Wave" re-design, someone at SEGA mandates no female character is bottomless anymore.

Sonic Superstars Officially Takes Place Before Sonic Adventure

"The Classic series began with Sonic 1 in 1991, and Sonic Adventure marked the switch to the Modern series in 1998," says Iizuka. "So in terms of the Sonic timeline, Sonic Superstars occurs after Sonic Mania and before Sonic Adventure. Whenever we develop a new game, we always make sure the story fits with the lore."
However, when you look at previous comments on the Sonic timeline, it gets a little confusing. Classic Sonic as a character is the same person as Modern Sonic, just, well, from the past. Then, Mania takes place after Generations, but not before Classic Sonic had gone through Adventure, and become Modern Sonic. Keeping up? So, that would mean that Sonic in ...

The latest charts are now in from the largest gaming market in Europe, the United Kingdom. It was always going to be a great week for new releases as Spider-Man 2, Super Mario Wonder, and Sonic Superstars all released, vying for gamers’ attention. It seems as though Sony’s Spider-Man 2 came out the winner, entering the charts at the coveted top spot. Spider-Man 2 was followed by the wonderful Super Mario Wonder, which is now the fifth biggest-selling game of 2023. SEGA’s Sonic Superstars didn’t fare too badly either as it ...

Sonic Superstars Mod Makes the Game Play Like Sonic Rush

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GabeAjRJEbI

Quote
This preview video was released by its creator, Beatz, who was showing off their early progress on this Sonic Superstars mod. This includes overhauling the entirety of the game's UI elements, making it closer to Sonic Rush's, including the ring counter, timer, and even the boost meter. Beatz's mod changes Sonic's classic-styled model to the more modern but retro one from Rush, while also implementing Rush's unique mechanics. This includes the ability to do tricks after a jump, the Boost, and even the aerial boost.
Many commenters were impressed with Beatz's efforts to convert the gameplay of Sonic Rush into Sonic Superstars, especially with ...

Story-wise there are no explanation why that's happened, why they suddenly went for comfort or protection after fine with nothing for years before.
Ah but Archie comics were not canon to the games. Fiona Fox and Julie-Su were not canon.

If anything, the Super Genesis Wave was more of a attempt to comply the comics to games standards, and that include giving Sally clothes.

I like to believe Sonic Pocket Adventure was the game when Sonic and Dr. Eggman transitioned from their classic to modern appearances.

The game still played like a classic game and Sonic looked like Classic Sonic despite Modern Sonic in the title. While Dr. Eggman looked like his classic self there was a moment when he tries on his new uniform.

That looks... weird. The fact I can see if teeth so clearly, more scarier than Starved (https://cult-of-xyclopedia.fandom.com/wiki/Starved).

This is like how Snively looks, if he's fatter.

There is (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhle1iCDnCWKlHl9iiGr2TAse53vcVDg3), just Justin113D hasn't updated us on it in over three years.

That's too bad but many fan games project did stop in the middle of the development when the creators got busy in their life.

Unlike FNAF animatronics we got two robots that share a braincell and look about as cute as kindergarten toys and a cyberloli. Metal Sonic would be the only genuine threat.

I wish they included Mecha Sonic too in this pic. He's the scariest one for me when I encountered him the first time in Sonic 2 years ago.

Dr. Eggman's new capital city is expanding and only Sonic and his friends can stop it!

On a recon mission with the new Diamond Cutters--Tangle, Whisper, and Lanolin--Sonic discovers that the Eggperial City is harnessing the resources around it to grow ever larger. The Diamond Cutters are still getting the hang of working together which leads to trouble when they get trapped. Alone against an army of badniks and a self-replicating city, Sonic calls for back-up and gets more than he bargained for: Tails, Amy, Blaze, and Silver all answer the call, but Shadow, Rouge, and Omega arrive for their own reasons too! While the Diamond Cutters have to have an emotional break-through to escape, Sonic and Tails coordinate a horde of heroes to try to bring the city down!

Collects Sonic the Hedgehog issues #57–61.

Partnering with SEGA for this study, Checkpoint designs, writes and curates teaching materials that tap into gaming culture. From Sonic the Hedgehog to Planet Zoo, Checkpoint is helping teachers educate their students through the lens of gaming. These learning materials were welcomed by any school who used them.
“We wanted to see whether our approach actually had the benefits we intended,” said Checkpoint’s founder and editor-in-chief Tamer Asfahani. “So we approached the educational experts at Brunel University London to design an independent study to evaluate the extent to which key stage 2 children engaged with our learning materials.”
 Brunel’s Professor Kate Hoskins led a team of experts from the university’s Department of Education, who worked with five teachers at four London schools to trial learning materials for a science lesson that’s part of the National Curriculum. The aim of the lesson was ...

And some of them ended up becoming their own game developer or developing a game for SEGA for real.

Rare Sega does what Nintendon't moments.
Nintendo: Oi! Stop that! Cease and desist!
Sega: Good job! Speaking of a good job, you want one?
They did few times before, but just not with Sonic. They already have a dedicated full team for Sonic.
I know, just games like Triple Trouble remake and this Sonic 3D Blast remake, seems like the kind of games Sega themselves should have just picked up on if they can't make them themselves.

Yeah, but probably being requested by SEGA too since this was revealed at SEGA official X page first.

Nintendo is the strict dad and SEGA is the cool uncle.
The strict dad is usually more stable and richer than the cool uncle though.

I know, just games like Triple Trouble remake and this Sonic 3D Blast remake, seems like the kind of games Sega themselves should have just picked up on if they can't make them themselves.

I understand but just because we can do it, doesn't mean we have to do it.
Especially if we are a company as big as SEGA.

It was a bit short but it was a nice short.

Yes, hopefully it became a routine.

I remember watching the YouTube vid of this last night and seeing Trip as a playable character. I woke up this morning and thought it was a dream.

May be your dream and reality alligned. Who knows? Now dream you win a lottery then.

The Japanese company saw strong growth for its Pachinko and Entertainment Contents (read: video games and films) business for 2023. In net sales, Sega Sammy saw ¥389.6 billion (or $2.58 billion) this year, up 21.4 percent from the previous year's ¥320.9 billion. Similar rises were made in operating income (¥46.7 billion, up 46 percent) and ordinary income (¥49.4 billion, up 48.4 percent).
Sega attributed those increases to the Japanese side of its business, and in particular to the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise. 2022's Sonic Frontiers was noted as "one of the best games" for the entire series, and last year's Sonic the Hedgehog 2 film "helped accelerate the [brand's] growth."
Similar praise was heaped onto Like a Dragon (née Yakuza). The open-world franchise has sold 21.3 million copies, and executive officer Masayoshi Yokoyama promised the series will grow "through our transmedia strategy."
Finally, Atlus' Persona series (which has sold 17.7 million units) was also highlighted for its "significant" growth throughout the year thanks to ...

See a few of hate arts from NiGHTS fans on X, but some also defended it rationally though.

That is a positive way to look at it.And who knows, maybe NiGHTS will show up in a later update.

Of course. Parents are usually protective of their kids while uncles see their nephews tough and want to leave good impression on them.

Barbeque guy sounds like Mike Pollock!

Wasn't it really Mike's sound?

Usualy yeah, but Ian Flynn says the game will be canon.

Why some guy who just made Archie Sonic comics most of his time has any authority to say which Sonic game is canon I dunno, but that's what he said.

What a shocking turn of events!
There's nothing wrong with that. Being picky means you really prepare it seriously.
Yeah, but I am disappointed when I can't find the right models I want.
For example, I thought The Model Resources (https://www.models-resource.com/) had the model for the "chao radio", one of the toys (https://chao-island.com/wiki/Toys) from SA2 chao gardens that I wanted to use as decoration, but they didn't have it.

Now you could say "Why not just use any radio from the GMod or SFM workshop?", but remember when we we're going on about aesthetics in the Mario thread? Well given Yule Log videos usually depict a living room of sorts, it's difficult to pull off a "Sonicore" living room which is why I mostly use Twinkle Park textures.
If this was a Mario yule Log with Mariocore aesthetic, easy-peasy! Super Mario 64 is so iconic that making a room set in Peach's Castle (https://www.mariowiki.com/Peach%27s_Castle) will be easily recognisable, or maybe a Christmassy-version of Rosalina's Library (https://www.mariowiki.com/Library_(Super_Mario_Galaxy)). But making an interior that Sonic fans recognise as Soniccy, that's hard!
May be she didn't like that kind of idea. Being witch is cooler than being imprisoned.
Being in a block of ice is about as cool as you can get... literally speaking.
Probably Mike lent his voice. I'm also sure that SEGA scream in the end wasn't from the old lady either.
Oh I' pretty sure it wasn't.

Pretty sure it's the same scream from the Saturn-era Sega logo.
Because SEGA trusts him, trusts enough to let him wrote the scripts for Frontiers and Dream Team.

That's what's happened with Yu Suzuki's Air Twister (which Apple helped its funding).
Apple let YS Net released the game on another consoles after one year, as long as it's not on android phones.

Kishimoto complimented the skills of the modders, noting how they were creating things that the development team were also looking to include as pieces of fan service. When Famitsu asked what kind of mods he saw, Kishimoto answered that modders were adding characters to Sonic Frontiers who weren't playable in the game. He also was amused about how the community was adding moves that the team were already going to implement, like the Spin Dash that was introduced in the "Birthday Bash" update. As such, Kishimoto wanted ...

It is... but to make a Yule Log video set in Green Hill Zone... I just don't see how that's possible when...
  • Yule Log videos take place in someone's living room while Green Hill Zone doesn't have any known houses. Sonic doesn't "live" in Green Hill Zone.
  • Green Hill Zone consist of tropical islands with sunny weather. Not really a Christmassy-setting... unless you're Hawaiian or Australian.
I did consider the idea of a sort of log fire somewhere in Green Hill Zone, but again, doesn't really invoke a Christmassy feeling.

Yeah, Green Hill Zone doesn't really invoke a Christmassy feeling.
There are more zones in Sonic games which feature snow and ice, but since that kind of stages aren't unique, we got to put something in there that people could associate it with Sonic instantly.

Such a miss opportunity.

May be they are saving the snow theme for next 3D Sonic games.

The art seen above was created by a freelance concept artist, no doubt given the direction to not feel tied down by the video game sprites and to go wild with the concept of a robot loving Doctor. Interestingly, this art has been around for a while and is labeled “A Humanoid”. Is there a version B? Actually there is, and it made its way onto the internet last week by way of the animation art website Animation Legends.
Two pieces of art appeared for sale, including what I consider the star of the set, the one labeled “B Robotic”. The art showcases a fully robotic Robotnik with a steel plate mohawk and what can only be described as frizzy hair made of loose wires. The concept art is clearly the B take of the ...

I mean, the final battle against The End with more Ikagura gameplay was the cheapest cop-out in a Sonic game I've seen yet! To me Final Horizon was supposed to be the true conclusion to the game.
Yeah, Green Hill Zone doesn't really invoke a Christmassy feeling.
There are more zones in Sonic games which feature snow and ice, but since that kind of stages aren't unique, we got to put something in there that people could associate it with Sonic instantly.
Maybe a Green Hill scene with Diamond Dust Zone colours I can imagine. Diamond Dust Zone is a stage that's both christmassy yet associated with Sonic.

Only issue is that Sonic 3D Blast used isometric view so I can't really make much of it.
But still Yule Log videos are suppose to be indoors scene and invoke the feeling of warming yourself by the fire. There's no such thing as "Christmas Campfires", who would want to be huddled by a campfire in the middle of a tundra with snow and ice around you?

But at this rate, I doubt I'd get this Yule Log project finished. (Plus, I haven't asked for permissions to use the various music I want to use on my Yule Log videos. Even if I ask right now, who knows when they may reply.)
May be they are saving the snow theme for next 3D Sonic games.
Perhaps. Winter themed stages are popular.

Eggman and Sage's interaction was also better than Final Horizon's.

Zuru blasters are a pretty fantastic and more affordable alternative to Nerf. In fact, many would argue that Zuru is better in a lot of ways, especially when it comes to shooting range and power. This particular blaster touts the ability to hiy multiple targets up to 27m / 90 feet away.They also have some really fun skins and designs. You can check out more Zuru blasters here on ...

Then buy the OST... or listen to it on YouTube.
How many songs did you plan to use?
Ten songs... now that I checked over my list, actually all the songs are from video games so I guess I don't need to ask permission over. The full running time would be 2:26:39 (2:44:12 if include Holiday Hill (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MURxkSX4wO8).)
There are two fan-covers I would like though, those be Marble Garden Zone Act 2 LoFi (https://soundcloud.com/user-132405303/marble-garden-act-2-lofi) and Flying Battery Zone (Lofi Hip Hop Remix) (http://y2u.be/7Wx98tsBo64).

You missed my point. I meant as ending song, it was a good choice of epilogue song that's connected Eggman and Sage's story compared to other songs.

What’s the cheapest way for me to get access to Sonic Dream Team?

While you can probably find a variety of used devices on eBay, the current (2022) Apple TV 4K (64GB) is currently available for $130 at most U.S. retailers with slight discounts at Costco (https://www.costco.com/apple-tv-4k-64gb-3rd-generation---wi-fi.product.4000094162.html) and Sam’s Club (https://www.samsclub.com/p/apple-tv-4k-22-64gb-wifi/PL980427992?xid=plp_product_4). However, you can economize even further with a refurbished model direct from Apple (https://www.apple.com/shop/product/FN873LL/A/refurbished-apple-tv-4k-64gb-3rd-generation-wi-fi?fnode=5c1cf9509836f398bcdecd20ed7c238d0e7b72c27f1331bf27e6a13f8711553e8e347e9f022c2dc3f20ecc66b9a85b4bbb0ddf19672e3885378ad80e7d33cc2a458deaee50ee104b84ef668c3a53a169eace7380729131d38417e07d3cda7f73) for as low as $110.
Because Dream Team is a 3D game, the farther back in time you go, the higher the risk you’ll have with performance limitations, so be wary of aiming for the lowest point of entry possible. If you’re going the Apple TV route, any 4K model should be safe.
Apple Arcade is a subscription service at $7 a month. However, you can get a 1-month free trial for existing hardware or a 3-month trial on new hardware. We don’t know if ...

My youngest son loves that song and often played the final boss part of the game just to hear the song eventhough I already doenloaded the MP3s in his phone.
SO in total how many project you've been working on?
Well, at the moment my Unity projects have been shelved because ever since Unity announced it's runtime fee's, everyone think unity is nosediving and bailing so I dunno what's the right thing to do here. Should I continue using Unity or should I move onto Godot?

But Sonic RPBG is something I've been working on in Tabletop Simulator (https://www.tabletopsimulator.com). It's nearly finished, I just need to make the skill sheets, badnik cards and the item cards. Heck I might decide to just put the badniks and items listed in an in-document or something.
Oh yeah, I should probably make "zone maps" or "boards" as well.

The full name of this project is called Sonic the Hedgehog: Roleplaying Boardgame. Called a "Roleplaying Boardgame" because it's a hybrid of a tabletop role-playing game (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabletop_role-playing_game) and a racing board game (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_game).

Like a TTRPG, you have a game master to narrate your adventure, while the other players have characters based on Sonic OCs. They can still do regular TTRPG stuff like exploration, combat, stat sheets, dice-rolling and story progression, but other than dungeon maps there are "zone maps" which allow players to race one another or work as a singular team to progress through.
I find the concept of "Zone Maps" an interesting idea because Zone Maps could be used as side-challenges to dungeons, or as a form of progression. Instead of the game master saying "your party heads out from the town and arrive at the dungeon entrance", instead a Zone Map could be regarded the route or journey towards the destination.

Because of how low-tech it is, I've sort of a third finished it, which is much-much more than I can say for any of my Unity projects.

Moving into Godot means you got to learn from starting point again, if it could be done with Unity why not continuing it? Unless there is something specific in your project that Godot could do that Unity couldn't.

But since Sonic RPBG is almost finished, I suggest prioritize on that one first. That zone maps challenge sound really cool.

I guess I can reinstall Unity. I mean, I dunno the direction indie developers are going now. It's less about bandwagon and more what won't bite me or break down in the long run.
But since Sonic RPBG is almost finished, I suggest prioritize on that one first. That zone maps challenge sound really cool.
It is, I just need to design how the "skill sheets" will be laid out.

You can choose from three characters to play as. mobian, robot and zeti. A skill sheet is provided with your choice.
Then you choose two skill sheets. (Mobians have a skill called "Mutation" which allows for a third skill sheet. I might nerf this for two maximum skill sheets.)

There are many Skill Sheets to choose from, each skill sheets consist of nine skills, sort of like a skill tree.
the nine skills are divided by three skills per three tiers.

The game master may give all the players a set number of Chaos Orbs (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Chaos_Orb) or "Exp tokens" to allow players to choose skills to use. However, Tier 2 requires two of Tier 1 skills to be unlocked and Tier 3 requires five of the above skills to be unlocked. Some skills can even be upgraded with an additional Chaos Orb.

I dunno if you played TTRPGs before, but you're probably wondering "What about Levels or Health Points?", well the beauty of this game is none of that matters. Your player's character derives over how well you use your stats and skills and gold rings serve as both currency and health in this game (similar to Tingle's Rupeeland (https://zelda.fandom.com/wiki/Freshly-Picked_Tingle%27s_Rosy_Rupeeland), a game where rupees are both currency and health.)

Nobody could predict the future but people definitely is still using Unity now.
I guess I'll reinstall it sometime, but it'll likely just sit on my desktop doing nothing.
Mutation? Wow, so every character have second form? Like how Sonic turned into werehog?
Nah, think it more like X-men. Such as the ability to manipulate matter or energy in some way. In this case the "mutation" is the ability to have an additional skill.

Ah, I see. I mught be confusing mutating with morphing.
I do see why you would be confused with it.
But I always regard Sonic's speed and Silvers psychokinesis a form of mutation in mobians. And that given we see more mobians with special powers over humans with powers, I imagine X-gene like mutations is more common amongst mobians than it is with humans.
Not like that, more like Sonic's sponsoring the event.

Do you think super transformation counted as mutation?
Are super transformation exclusive to mobians?
We never see Robotnik using chaos emeralds to transform, right? (not counting fan games)

I don't think it's a form of mutation given most mobians, or at least within Sonic's circle of friends, are capable of super transformation. As seen in Sonic Mania and Superstars. It could be a latent gene within mobians that can only be triggered by all seven of the Chaos Emeralds.
That was so rare.
But it hapened.
Nice to see Rouge is still using her old costume, not the Prime jumpsuit costume.
It is good.

But judging from the animated intro, can't help but get "Eggman Origins" vibes from it... from a fan game coincidentally called Sonic Dreams Collection.

So why did their colors turn into yellow?

May be it was inspired by it. Who knows.

Total War Warhammer 3 bug turns ogre lord into Sonic the Hedgehog

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FMyLOxCXsAg-6VD?format=jpg&name=small)

Quote
A Total War Warhammer 3 bug has made the ogre lord Greasus Goldtooth roughly ten times too fast - and the speediest thing in the game.
Check out the video below to see him tearing across the battlefield like a missile. It’s even better since, rather than a traditional mount, the guy is pushed around on a little cart by gnoblars, whose legs now go like the clappers. To give some idea of how fast 400 speed is ...

So why did their colors turn into yellow?
I don't know? I mean, Super Sonic was obviously inspired by super saiyans... sayians? I care not how to spell it right.
So maybe it's just a natural genetic thing for them.

Also i's not always yellow, sometimes it's pink.

May be it was inspired by it. Who knows.
It would be kind of ironic, given the nature of SDC.

Would be cool if the game did reference Sonic in some way. but I don't know Total Warhammer lore well enough to come up with Warhammerverse version of Sonic.

Goku with pink hair (Super Saiyan Rose) is actually stronger than one with blonde hair (Super Saiyan 1/2).

I really can't keep up anymore. I mean, I know Goku can become "Saiyan God" which you think given the word "God" in the title means the absolute pinnacle of transformaiton... but he can become "Super Saiyan God" as well, which is like... A god being more powerful?

Goku may have surpasses the gods but so far Goku has't succeded in defeating even one of the angels.
Thankfully those angels do no harm to the universes ... for now.

Is there anyone stronger than the angels?
Yes, there is one, the leader of the angels, the one true God : ZENO.
He's the strongest being in Dragon Ball saga.

Well from what I understand, and by looking over the TWW wiki (https://totalwarwarhammer.fandom.com/wiki/Total_War:_Warhammer_Wiki), there are Lords who leads factions, so I imagine out "Sonic reference" will either be a reskin of an existing lord and faction.
(For example, I can imagine this "Greasus Goldtooth" fellow with a Santa Claus skin, riding around in a sleigh. Though perhaps Boris Ursus who leads a Kislev faction would also be a festive choice.)

Yeah but Goku is always obtaining some new level of power, like how much can he go to? They just keep adding more because that's what the audience wants.

That's the difference between manga and comic book characters.
Manga characters always getting stronger wiyh each volume.
Although sometimes comic book characters did that (Iron Man became Supreme Wizard, Kingdom Come Superman is immune to kryptonite) but that's usually far in the future that hasn't happened yet in the current run.

I wouldn't know because I never played Knuckle,s you're strong, isn't it a bit overkill to get a mech involved?

"I just want to look cool!"

Compared to past McDonalds Sonic toys, these are a bit underwhelming. Especially compared to the LCD collection.

May be because it's a regional thing so the budget wasn't big. I couldn't find these in my country and there are none too in US.

I think Spider-girl and Fly the Vampire were predecessor-prototypes to Rouge and Shadow.

My guess she would had been called "Spin the Spider".

That is possible. That means they're not just changing the characters but swapped the genders too.

Angry Hedgehogs on the Way? Rovio and SEGA Tease Upcoming Crossovers and Games at RovioCon 2023

"We're still dating."
That is the metaphor Shuji Utsumi (SEGA President of Consumer Games) and Ben Mattes (Rovio brand SVP) jokingly went with at RovioCon 2023 to tease the possibility (though not immediacy) of upcoming Rovio collaborations and games following their recent acquisition by SEGA, as reported by Mobidictum.
mobilegamer.biz reports a slightly more gung-ho take on Utsumi and Mattes' dating joke, suggesting that Rovio may have a Sonic crossover coming soon, and is working with SEGA on new games. Utsumi cites other SEGA IP that could see benefit from this mobile push, such as Yakuza or Persona. This would be part of Rovio and SEGA's larger transmedia strategy with...

TA: What led to Sonic Dream Team being an Apple Arcade exclusive rather than on all consoles PC?
DR: When Apple Arcade launched, we were delighted it brought about the conversation of getting a true 3D Sonic platformer into the lineup. Having worked with Apple and the Apple Arcade platform previously for Sonic Dash+ and Sonic Racing, we knew that Sonic Dream Team would be a great fit for our next game on iOS. We can’t wait to see fans, both new and old, hop into Dream Team and the franchise as a whole.

TA: Are there plans for post launch content updates like other Apple Arcade games?
DR: Yes definitely, we’re shaping said plans right now.

TA: What should players expect in terms of replay value or the post game in Sonic Dream Team?
DR: Packed around the main story and beyond, there are a lot of missions and some very cool collectibles to unlock via challenges. The levels were made for exploration, so players will only find some things in the first few passes. As you unlock the characters in the flow of the story, you’ll be able to get to new areas and find different routes, too. The game’s structure is designed with replay value in mind, so it should feel ...

True, I guess it's difficult to keep characters interesting and relevant if they're old enough to have long-spanning continuity. Which is why the occasionally Flashpoint to wipe the slate clean and start afresh.
"I just want to look cool!"
Where you even get a giant mech like you?
May be because it's a regional thing so the budget wasn't big. I couldn't find these in my country and there are none too in US.
I'll look out for them if they ever come here... but there's no McD's where I live but my best mate form my old hometown will let me know.
That is possible. That means they're not just changing the characters but swapped the genders too.
I didn't think much about gender, given I regard the spider former-Rouge and Fly former-Shadow.

For Fly, it looks like they had a gritty grimdark idea in mind for him... kinda reminds me of Disney's Gargoyles. But they probably toned down the grimdark when they settled for Shadow.

As for the spider-girl, sex-appeal was obviously in mind. In HD versions of her posters, you can see she had bigger tits than Rouge.

I think it's not considering the price isn't more expensive than the usual.

He builds stuff to kill them with. I can't imagine him giving a lender, especially to Knuckles.
Still prefer Rouge's design eventough she's toned down.
Even by SA2 when Rouge had a more sultry body, she was more modest than the rack this spider-girl has in this poster. But yeah, I prefer Rouge the Bat over spider-girl.

THIS is what it feels like for me playing Sonic games as a kid! Sadly, that dopamine-kick isn't as strong as it was for Sonic games back then. still love Sonic games though...

I do enjoy Sonic Superstars  ... at least normal story mode.
Trip's story mode was too frustating for me.

...though not as much to get a mac device or some means to play game from the Apple Store.

Give it a time, it still could make it on another console.

I think Clutch the Opossom is supposed to fit that role of kingpin that Mammoth Mogul and post-SGW Breezy were. (Post-SGW Breezy was ment to replace Casino Night owner Mammoth Mogul.)

Yes, I do like Clutch the Opossom but he nevwer showed up again.

Was that a spoiler? I've yet to play the game... Though with -30% currently on Steam, I might get it.

Not really... It's one of the boss that showed up in the trailer.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 reached Netflix's top 5 movies this week, almost two years after it made its original streaming debut on Paramount+. A sequel to 2020's critical and commercial success Sonic the Hedgehog, the movie sees Sonic team up with his new ally Tails as he tries to stop Dr. Robotnik from using Knuckles the Echidna to get the Master Emerald. The film was even more successful than the first, becoming the launchpad for a new Sonic cinematic universe.
Now, Netflix reports Sonic the Hedgehog 2 made it to #5 on their Top 10 Global Films list for the week of November 27 to December 3. The Blue Blur's second outing received 8.4 million hours viewed, and a total of 4 million individual views. This level of streaming success spells good things for ...

Made Balance Adjustments to Easy Mode
The following changes have been made to Easy mode:
Trial Towers: New level designs have been added.
Towers of the Master: The default difficulty and Sonic’s attack level have been adjusted.
Master King Koco’s Trial: Your maximum Ring capacity and the health of each Titan have been adjusted.

Made changes to some of the controls for Amy, Knuckles and Tails.

The parry window for perfect parries was adjusted to be more forgiving.
*The window will be extended even further when playing on Easy.

Knuckles’ maneuverability during gliding has significantly increased.

Adjusted the stats of some special moves for Amy, Knuckles, and Tails after leveling them up

The attack and defense of certain special moves for Amy, Knuckles, and Tails after they level up have been increased.

Made it Easier to Retry After a Game Over

The pink panels in the Trial Towers will respawn after a certain amount of time has passed and you are a certain distance away.

If you make a mistake before a Cyber Space checkpoint and you have to restart from the beginning, the timer will now reset so you don’t need to manually restart.
*Excluding Cyber Space Challenge

Various bug fixes, including the issue where audio would not play during sub-events, have also been addressed.

No, Eggman built the ridable giant version of it, based on our battle mode robot.
Different one, different size, same build.

Cruel is definitely one of supervillain's expertises.

Of course it will be priced cheaper at a later date. Every Sonic game was like that.

Dr. Eggman does need to be more cruel and less of a goofball.

He looks cruel enough in Sonic Dream Team. Trying to crush everyone with his own bare hand.

“After more than two decades of hosting an event that has served as a central showcase for the U.S. and global video game industry, the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) has decided to bring E3 to a close,” the trade group said in a statement. “ESA remains focused on advocating for ESA member companies and the industry workforce who fuel positive cultural and economic impact every day.”
Even before the coronavirus pandemic, E3 was losing steam. Geoff Keighley, founder of the Game Awards (who said he had attended every E3 since the first one), in 2020 launched Summer Game Fest. Before E3 2020 was canceled, Keighley said he was not participating in the expo because he believes in-person events don’t serve gaming fans, developers or publishers as well as ...

Of course it will be priced cheaper at a later date. Every Sonic game was like that.
So I should hold out a little longer?
He looks cruel enough in Sonic Dream Team. Trying to crush everyone with his own bare hand.

Well, in a world of dreams that ireflects the consciousness of dreamers, it's understandable someone of his ego visions himself as a god.
Reel and real. One alphabet difference could really changed its meaning, lol.

I remember when E3 used to be huge and allowed everyone with a ticket to come in... then they closed their doors to the public and only allowed investors which I figure was down hill from there.

I wonder if there will be a new exposition for video games for now on?

Talks about the licensing industry, his career journey and what's next for SEGA.

What is the proudest moment of your career?
I’ve had many great moments working in this industry, but I think one of the pinnacles must be having the opportunity to be part of the revitalization of SEGA’s strong portfolio of IP, including "Sonic the Hedgehog." Before 2015, the Sonic brand wasn’t nearly as strong as it is today, and very few kids knew who Sonic was. Today, after years of investment from SEGA and hard work by extremely talented people, Sonic is one of the top IPs worldwide with many forms of highly merchandisable content, including video games, movies, TV, animation, digital, mobile and more. I also work with an incredibly talented team of licensing professionals who are experts in what they do and are responsible for our success in licensed merchandise in recent years. Being a part of this incredible story with this company and this team is one of my proudest moments.

What advice would you give those just starting in the licensing industry?
I would say that anyone starting in licensing who intends to stay in the industry should focus on four things. Become an expert at what you do. Regardless of your licensing function, become the best in the business at it and always strive to provide value. Learn about other business areas so that you are knowledgeable and have a well-rounded understanding of the industry. Develop deep relationships. The industry is small, and you will guarantee to cross paths with people several times throughout your career. Lastly, have fun! Licensing is an incredible industry we work in, full of many positives, and ...

Several new Sonic mobile games are in development and they are to adopt Rovio's Beacon toolkit

Future Sonic mobile games to adopt Rovio's Beacon toolkit

As part of the mobile expansion, the upcoming slate is expected to adopt "Beacon", an internal development and marketing toolkit powered by machine learning, frequently utilized by Rovio, the Finnish studio behind Angry Birds that SEGA acquired over the summer.
The studio described Beacon as a platform to "build games and get games to market, models to profitably grow and monetize the game and live operations tools to maximize our players’ fun."

The toolkit has been criticized in a number of fan-run Angry Birds forums for incentivizing revenue at the expense of gameplay quality.
SEGA did not disclose if the Beacon platform will extend beyond the present suite of HARDlight mobile games. SEGA also unveiled ...

Yes, Steam wasn't as popular as now back then in Japan.
That has changed now, especially after Steam Deck was launched.
Japanese gamers do love playing in handheld.

So if you read/played those books you already know a third on how to play my game already.

And while Speed (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Speed_Type), Power (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Power_Type) and Fly-type (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Fly_Type) characters are still a core thing, I've introduced a fourth character type known as Technique (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Technique-Type) type.

How do you feel about Nack the Weasel, Jet the Wolf, Fang the Sniper, Fang the Hunter being given a third new name?

As long as it uses "Fang", I don't mind. I always hates the "Nack" name.

YES!!! Love TailsTube! Didn't expect a Christmas special.

This episode is really funny. I chuckled a lot.

It's ideal for my game for a number of reasons.
  • The statistics use a 1-5 ranking system that determine the point-value, so having more than three means more variety in ranks which offer diversity of characters. (There is a 6th rank, but it's reserved for specific-type characters.)
  • Characters who are Technique-types, while they're not as fast and agile as Speed-types or physically strong as Power-types, they make up for it in natural talent for tools and weapons to the point of precision. They could also be magic or elemental users.

Sometimes I think Tails is too perfect, he's like a jack of all trade character.
He's fast, smart, and also can fly.

Of on another tangent, I like how that Street Fighter scene Chun-Li tells Bison how much of a deplorable man he is by her memory of his power, and Bison gut-punched her pride on how much she left an impression on her yet he doesn't even recall it much himself.

Yes, Chun Li's reaction was also spot on when Bison said that.

I got the mag!

Thank you Sega.
As long as it uses "Fang", I don't mind. I always hates the "Nack" name.
Really? Given that was his name in StC, that was the name I grew up with and preferred.
This episode is really funny. I chuckled a lot.
Oooh! It also proves Christmas is still canon on Sonic's world, and not just in Sega marketing.
Sometimes I think Tails is too perfect, he's like a jack of all trade character.
He's fast, smart, and also can fly.
Tails and Dr. Eggman are both known for their high intelligence, but in my game, I catagorized Tails as a Fly Type and Dr. Eggman as a Technique Type. I figured that while they're both Rank-A in Knowledge and the Technology skill would increase their Knowledge, it is Dr. Eggman who is more of a hands-on person than Tails.
Yes, Chun Li's reaction was also spot on when Bison said that.
And Raúl Júlia was amazing for the role of Bison. I wouldn't peg him for super-muscle fighter type but he was spot on for the domineering, confident warlord role. And he was suffering from cancer at the time! He only took the role because his kids asked him to.

Remember Sonic Forces? The team behind Sonic Forces Overclocked do and, despite the game’s middling reception they’ve gone to the trouble of making a free fan expansion. And even if you turned your nose up at the original, it’s well worth checking out.
Say what you like about Sega (I’m still seething over the Mega CD), unlike Nintendo they’re happy to let people ‘borrow’ their platform game mascot for their own fan games. Sonic Forces Overclocked isn’t a standalone game as such but this fan-expansion is such a treat it feels like it deserves to be.
As the name suggests, this is an expansion, or mod, for the divisive Sonic Forces. Launched alongside ...

Actually "Nack the Jerboa" was the original name from the creator, Shinichi Higashi, a freelance artist who would later become a toy designer.
(just like "Miles Prower" before changed into "Tails" by SEGA of America).

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Et0CdWhXcAcMqeD?format=jpg&name=small)

But then it was thought that the name "Nack" was too similar to "Knuckles" in Japanese, and it would confuse fans so a contest was held in a gaming magazine in Japan replace the jerboa's name which led to "Fang the Sniper."

SEGA of America didn't want to wait until the contest over because they need to prepare the packaging for the game ASAP so they go with the original name (Nack) but due to some miscommunication ... his species became a weasel instead of a jerboa.

Ah I see. Pity they changed the jerboa thing. Granted not many people have heard of a jerboa and I myself only found out about them not long before Nack returned to popularity... but is it too much to expect their audience to read a book on jerboa?

That huge tail of his that he uses to jump was supposedly a giveaway of what animal of him.
But it wasn't until Sonic the Fighters and Sonic Mania that's became apparent, I don't remember he uses it to jump in Sonic Triple Trouble.

That huge tail of his that he uses to jump was supposedly a giveaway of what animal of him.
But it wasn't until Sonic the Fighters and Sonic Mania that's became apparent, I don't remember he uses it to jump in Sonic Triple Trouble.

Well, it's nice his jerboa identity is being made more aware of, no more weasel or wolf... or both.

Apparently, Pope Francis announced the antichrist was born/came into our world a few months back.
Not those Eggman, but the prime version of Eggman.
He would still regard him like the other eggmen.
Oh, that's news to me, I never knew how GameBanana request worked.
I noticed some requests on GameBanana and how they work.

Yeah. Though some made a compromise saying that Fang is half jerboa and half another animal but that's not from his creator.

Apparently, Pope Francis announced the antichrist was born/came into our world a few months back.

That's weird. Did not Jesus say “No man knows the day or the hour….?”

It's just a normal convention but SEGA was one of the big sponsors.

There is also one plural form of the term Antichrist in the bible so they might be more than one, make it harder to be detected.

As much a sI prefer the "Nack the Weasel" name, I do admit jerboa is fitting for him. He does look more like a jerboa than a weasel.
There is also one plural form of the term Antichrist in the bible so they might be more than one, make it harder to be detected.
I was watching "Escape from L.A." the other day, as one do, and it got me thinking how Snake Plissken could have been the antichrist of the movie. He "doomed" humanity by throwing it back to the dark ages by inputting a three-digit code in a remote that cause EMP across the world. The code was "6-6-6". However Plissken spite against humanity wasn't out of evil, but because he saw the evil in those in power, such as the "life term president" who turned L.A. into a wasteland of degenerates as well as a place for "un-Americans" to be dumped because he believed he was doing Gods will.

Plissken was also known as "Snake", and he was sent into enclosed places which, while to the inhabitants, is regarded their own paradise, and he effectively ruin the social order of these imprisonments just as the snake in Eden did.

Just saying that, I've seen media that also portray the antichrist as misunderstood or not inherently evil (Good Omens also comes to mind)

Of course, emphasizing with the antichrist, especially given we don't know who the real antichrist will be, could be dangerous as he may turn out as evil as Christians believe he will be. And with super-rich elite families that are completely detached from the common people, whose children are conditioned to believe in their superiority and learn politics and control, would likely end up as one of them.

Of course, emphasizing with the antichrist, especially given we don't know who the real antichrist will be, could be dangerous as he may turn out as evil as Christians believe he will be.

The "evil" thing of course if it's from the viewpoint of the majority of human or at least for the sake of the future for the humankind.
In God's viewpoint in the cosmic scale, nothing is really matter.
God is beyond the duality between of good and evil.
He/She could wiped the earth and replace human with dinosaurs again if He/She feel human isn't worthy.
But like Rabindranath Tagore said,
"Every child that is born is proof that God has not yet given up on human beings."

And with super-rich elite families that are completely detached from the common people, whose children are conditioned to believe in their superiority and learn politics and control, would likely end up as one of them.

Could be. Also that sounds like the Al Pacino's family in Devil's Advocate.
Still when Keanu Reeves called them as the AntiChrist, Al Pacino just laugh since he doesn't really care about the term.
All that he want is just *spoiler*.

Did he actually call a family the antichrist in real life or in a movie?

Anyway, some fans accept that rating, while others fear that destructively dark content might harm young viewers.

Someone dying in the movie could make the movie PG13?

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GDYXep2W0AAI75b?format=jpg&name=360x360)

Anyway, some fans accept that rating, while others fear that destructively dark content might harm young viewers.
There's even a petition (https://www.change.org/p/sega-change-the-rating-of-sonic-the-hedgehog-3) to change the rating.
Eeh, I've learned change.org does nothing, so I won't bother to sign it.
I mean, if the movie will be PG13 because of Maria's death then it should be up to the parents/guardians on whenever it's appropriate for their kids to watch... but given they likely watched the first two movies with them then they would likely gauge whenever Sonic's worth it or not.
Also, I don't want the movie to get censored or have scenes removed to keep a lower rating. This movie is catered for Sonic fans, not snowflakes.

Yes. But I do need a more suitable controller for it in order to use the emerald powers. I couldn't figure out how to select with the R-stick. And I dunno if this game would work with my PlaySega controller.

Same with cigarette and blood, they are heavily censored in my Local TV channels.
Still, "good censorship" is working outside the box than being forced inside the box.
For example, the studio behind Batman: The Animated Series had to endure various censorship, but they effectively worked around them. For example they were not allowed to have modern firearms, but there was no rule against dated guns, such as Tommy Guns which not only are dated weapons but fit with the Depression-era gangster-vibe of Gotham. Also villains like Penguin would have a gun disguised as his umbrella or sci-fi villains like Mr. Freeze would just have a freeze ray.

Heck, while the batarang was before the cartoons, they too were a form of censorship.
(https://media.newyorker.com/photos/59095452019dfc3494e9e789/master/w_1600,c_limit/batman-2.jpg)
Before batarangs, Batman had no qualms carrying a gun and straight-up shooting bad guys. But when censorship laws were made for comics, DC were no longer allow Batman to carry heat, so they came up with batarangs. Instead of groaning over Batman not allowed to use guns anymore, instead they liked the concept of Batman choosing to refuse firearms and made it his whole trauma thing.

So, while I'm not against GUN using guns (the first film had regular soldiers holding rifles), I'd rather the studios work around the censorship than the movies being censored after release.
I'm not judging but IMO this Rouge's design is really not as good as his other design (Sonic, Silver, Shadow, etc).
And what's with the bats around her?

My guess is simply because she is a bat, that or the board is suppose to appeal to punk-goth Sonic fans.
I would've just gone with the Riders style design myself.

Yeah, Golden Age Batman was really b*dass.
It's ironic that people says Batman is darker than Superman but the current version Batman almost never killed anyone while Superman has already killed Doomsday, Imperiex, Cyborg Superman, Brainiac 13, and the evil turning version of Mister MXYZPTLK.
Superman also killed Zod in the movie version.

It's ironic that people says Batman is darker than Superman but the current version Batman almost never killed anyone while Superman has already killed Doomsday, Imperiex, Cyborg Superman, Brainiac 13, and the evil turning version of Mister MXYZPTLK.
Superman also killed Zod in the movie version.

(https://i.makeagif.com/media/2-13-2016/yaE8__.gif)
I think the "excuse" to why it was morally sound for Superman to kill them was because they were regarded monsters or in-human. There fore it's not inhuman to kill them if they were not human to begin with.

Doomsday, for example, he was more of a biological weapon monster than a living being.
I still prefer the pink-clothed version than the black top version, it's very iconic for me.
Pink-clothed version?
I remember the first time experience with drifty stick (it's my Playstation Vita). I was so confused why my characters doesn't respond like the way it used to be.
It is rather annoying.

Okay for Doomsday and "evil" MXYZPTLK but not with the others. By that logic than Superman is also in-human since he came from the same place as Zod.
Also not as dramatic as movie version, but in comic version Superman also killed Zod, Quex-Ul, and Zalor by using a combination of gold and green Kryptonite.

Pink-clothed version?

The one with bouncy heart shaped, the original costume.

Ah! But the thing is... as a Sonic fan, I concede that the Flash is indeed faster than Sonic.
I mean, while Sonic has reach speeds surpassing sonic-speed, his speed is still limited to a few remaining laws of psychics that prevent him from doing too impossible things.
The Flash however, his superspeed comes from the "Speed Force" which makes all speedsters connected to this force an embodiment of speed. This allows him to run faster than light, to vibrate his molecules to be able to phase through matter, or cause matter of solid objects to be instable and explosive and of course time travel, at some point he needed some sort of cosmic treadmill to time travel, but he doesn't seem to need it any more, allowing him to run through time and reset the universe if needed.
Compared to Sonic, the Flash would just be too OP next to Sonic when it comes to speed and effectively make Sonic's presence kind of pointless.

While I haven't written a full fanfic over the idea of a Sonic and Justice League crossover, my premise in mind is that the Chaos Emeralds have scattered on DC-Earth. The presence of the Chaos Emeralds on this earth has caused the seven forces of the universe (https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/The_Seven_Forces_of_the_Universe) to become instable and it's associates powers to be out of whack, thus nerfing the Flash's superspeed as well as many other superpowered heroes and villains giving Sonic and his friends more of a fair advantage on this Earth full of superheroes.

Yes, but we haven't decided on the timeline when they met. The current Flash may be is OP but Sonic could meet young Flash where he still learns about his power.

It's fine the way it is but it isn't playable on Switch, PS4, and PS5.

Yes, but we haven't decided on the timeline when they met. The current Flash may be is OP but Sonic could meet young Flash where he still learns about his power.
I figure it would just be some generic current setting, like what TMNT and Batman did.
It's said that it's locked behind Netflix's subscription service (or Apple Arcade, one of those) so I don't expect much from this.

You'd think they learn by now?
I guess it's official. Sega have become corrupted by Rovio's business practices.
It's fine the way it is but it isn't playable on Switch, PS4, and PS5.
Also it's not a sequel, just a Remastered version plus new story expansion with Shadow since ... yeah, this game is aimed to hype Shadow in order to promote Sonic Movie 3 which has Shadow in it.

Well, I was wrong about SXSG, I might as well press my luck and voice my concern over how it will be marketed on Steam.

If the game will not be released as a full-price game, say £20-40, then yeah.  I would buy it if it was around that price.

But if they're going to give it a full price, say £40-60, then I hope on Steam it will be sold as a cheaper DLC for Sonic Generations. Or the very least offer a 15% discount to customers who already got Sonic Generations.

For current consoles like XBox One, X/S, PS4 and 5 and Switch, I understand why the game will be marketed as a whole given these consoles don't have the original game. But why should Steam gamers have to pay for the same content twice?

I will only find it excusable if giving the existing stages a glow-up and Shadow's "two experience" were not the only thing the game will offer.
If the story is rewritten to accommodate "Dreamcast Sonic" as a tritagonist playable character and each of the nine zones getting a third "Dreamcast Act", then I would say that's worth re-buying Sonic Generations over.

In addition to the logo reveal, which was accompanied by an orchestration of Sonic Adventure 2‘s “Live and Learn”, Variety broke the news that Jim Carrey is returning as Doctor “Eggman” Robotnik.
Carrey’s involvement was up in the air after the actor alluded to retiring from acting, though he did say he was not fully retiring. Clearly the Sonic movies are a good time for Jim, which explains his returning to the role.
As for Shadow, some social media users, myself included, incorrectly heard the laugh in the teaser as Shadow’s voice actor, when in fact it was ...

Yeah, but unless DC themselves ask the artist to emulate an art style in order to be canonicalized onto a specific Earth/continuity, crossover comic projects usually allow the writers and artist to establish their own settings for a continuity exclusive to the crossover, and usually they go with the basics or whatever's needed, like making Batman go it alone when he was against Spawn.
Why would they learn if it's printing money.
They only get money if enough people are bothered to buy it. But if they keep it on exclusive platforms not enough people can buy it!

And then when another writer came up, they then make a story that's treating as if the crosover story before didn't happen.
I hate when they're doing this but like you said the comic company did allow the writers and artist to establish their own settings for a continuity exclusive to the crossover.
Probably because they figure it be a one-off at the time. That or the heroes do acknowledge the crossover just don't see the need to bring it up.

I mean, how often does Batman deal with colourful superheroes on a regular basis? Especially those that can bend reality.
Not really, they could get more money from the platform holder too.

That would make the modding community furious again since we know there are so many for Sonic Generations.
That would piss them off. Not only that but it wouldn't excuse those who already own Sonic Generations. Just because it's delisted, Sonic CD is still in my Library, as well as Sonic 1, 2 and 3&K in MD&Gen Classics.

Sonic's Tubbz Collection Has Doubled In Size Via New Mini Tubbz

Every Sonic Tubbz now has a miniature version, and some of the original collection has been re-released.
Mini Tubbz are identical to their bigger siblings in every way other than size. Well, maybe not identical. A couple of the designs are slightly different. Shadow's Mini Tubbz figure, for example, isn't holding the Master Emerald like the regular-sized one. Sonic's Mini Tubbz figure is also a little different as it doesn't have ...

Probably because they figure it be a one-off at the time. That or the heroes do acknowledge the crossover just don't see the need to bring it up.

I mean, how often does Batman deal with colourful superheroes on a regular basis? Especially those that can bend reality.

If the ending treats it as a one-off at the time then it's good, but some gave hints for the next things without any follow ups ever.
Acesss was the most popular example.

But wouldn't that limit the paying customers?

Sometimes customer don't want buy certain games but they would play it if it's being offered free in their subscribtion plan.
And the money the publisher got was a lot compared to if the game's just being sold stand alone.
Of course this platform holder has got to be big enough to have very lot of subscribers (GamePass, Apple Arcade, and Netflix fulfil this criteria.)

That would piss them off. Not only that but it wouldn't excuse those who already own Sonic Generations. Just because it's delisted, Sonic CD is still in my Library, as well as Sonic 1, 2 and 3&K in MD&Gen Classics.

Yes, they are still in my library too but no new buyers would make their Steam communities dry.

It’s look like Krysten Ritter is playing a human character named Captain Rockwell who could be a G.U.N. Agent similar to Topaz who is Rouge’s human partner from Sonic X.
Previously, IGN reported that Ritter was rumored to voice Rouge the Bat, but it has now been confirmed as a false report. The film serves as a ...

Join us TONIGHT at 7:45PM Central at The Game Show Game Twitch channel (https://www.twitch.tv/thegameshowgame) as we read through a 32 page treatment for a Sonic movie, drafted in November 1994!
This proposed film was from Trilogy Entertainment Group, a team who attempted a live action Sonic movie from 1994-1995.

Performance is mainly for lower-end GPUs or if u want as much fps as you can
Mixed is a good mix between quality and performance which will be for mid-tier devices
Quality is the highest setting for high end hardware.

Classic and Modern SOnic will... not Dreamcast Sonic.

Dreamcast Sonic was so edgy, look at the way he smirked.

After Colors and Generations, I can see Sonic Team makes a remastered version of Unleashed someday ... when they have nothing finished to offer in some year because it's like an obligation now to have at least one Sonic game every year.

Sonic Adventure 2 was "unironically enjoyable". Especially given they couldn't re-animate the cutscenes for the english dialogue so the pacing just continued on without them. While it looked like Sonic was being a bad-ass cutting Shadow off like that mid-sentence, in truth it was bad pacing... But it still made such an iconic part of the game.

For old SEGA franchises (Streets of Rage, Alex Kidd, Altered Beast, Golden Axe, and of course Sonic) there are still a lot of UK fans since Mega Drive was the number one console afterall.

Our story is comprised of four chapters, or Levels as we like to call them, and begins in the familiar setting of Green Hill Zone. In this lush, natural setting we meet Sonic who is digging life as is. We also introduce a new generation of kids to all the beloved classic characters of the Sonic universe, setting the stage before everything turns upside down. When Sonic ignores the advice of his closest friends during a battle against Dr. Eggman, he accidentally triggers an explosion which creates a multiverse of bizarre parallel worlds. Set upon by enemies new and old, Sonic navigates these strange new worlds and meets wacky versions of friends who do not recognize him. However, they are key to fixing what Sonic broke. Sonic must reconnect with his friends, see them for all their complexities and lead them as a true-blue hero before the multiverse scatters into oblivion!

Relive all the action from the Netflix animated series in this graphic novel adaptation!
Sonic is used to fighting it out with Dr. Eggman, and with the help of his friends Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and Rouge, he usually comes out on top! But, during their latest explosive battle, a collision with the Paradox Prism sends Sonic to a parallel world called New Yoke City, where the dull environment looks oddly familiar. Once he gets his bearings, he’ll have to race through multiple dimensions to reconnect with his friends and save the world!
Volume 1 adapts “Episode 1: Shattered” and “Episode 2: The Yoke’s On You” from Season 1 of the 2022 Netflix series.

Hold up... there's a "White Day"? And wokeists aren't throwing their shit at it?

May be because it was posted by SEGA of Japan. It would be different case if it was posted by SEGA of America.

Without Ghouls ‘n Ghosts We Wouldn't Have Sonic, Says Yuji Naka

"When I saw the code, I was impressed! 'Ah, I see! That's how they're doing it! That's amazing!!'
Daimakaimura was a program that could only move 2 dots horizontally every 1/60 seconds, but if we could move that to around 16 dots, wouldn't it be a completely different game?
I got an idea and decided to make some. Then... this is really fast!
So, in the next stage, when we made the slope of Daimakaimura steeper and steeper... I noticed something.
I thought, 'Huh? If I connect these things together, they'll spin around' As a result, I was able to ..."

Oh cool, first time I heard that. Gotta try it later.
With the Spring Steam Sale currently on, you can get it for half price.
Gotta clean fast with the upcoming Sonic brush and mop!
Yep, pretty sure that's a thing.
Very iconic artists. Just need a one look at any of his art and you'll already know it was made by him.
Yeah! Same withDragon Quest, Chrono Trigger, Blue Dragon and all the games he illustrated for.
I started to believe that there is Sonic version of anything.
Except for adult toys.I wouldn't be surprise if catering for their adult Sonic fans have crossed their mind, especially given how much smut-art of Sonic there is.

Knuckles And Rouge Are Finally Getting New Sonic Funko Pops

Quote
Being turned into a Funko Pop! isn't new for Knuckles, but this is the first time in a while the echidna has received a new figure.
Somewhat surprising considering the wave of new Sonic Pops released at the end of 2023. Even more surprising is this being Rouge's Funko Pop! debut.
This will be the bat's very first figure, and while most Sonic fans will want both so won't be phased by the two-pack caveat, it's a shame she still doesn't ...

No, they like trains. Most of the toys are train, but they're not interested in the other train simulator games that I've bought and more invested in the truck one instead.

Well yes.. what we classify as weird someone else could just recognize as normal or different.

One bug, however, is a bit more fun than the others, adding a checkered pattern as well as green paint to Verdansk.

How SEGA Became Synonymous with Gaming

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GIWQkRjbUAAov8o?format=jpg&name=small)

Quote
“Over the past 64 years, SEGA has established itself as a world leader within the video games industry by cultivating beloved characters such as Sonic the Hedgehog and continuing to bring forth innovative new experiences for core brands,” says Alex Gomez, senior director, licensing and partnerships, SEGA. “Gaming is an increasingly exciting marketplace for us for several reasons. As technology evolves, we’ve been able to remaster our classic experiences for the latest generation of gaming platforms, bringing fresh versions of our nostalgic experiences to fans, new and old. While we always aim to stay true to the core elements of long-standing franchises that fans know and love, it’s exciting to build upon those franchises with new characters and storylines to keep them moving forward.”

Yeah, Remake is more likely than a remaster. I wonder if they will add a new team. Who then? Fang Team?

I doubt they'#ll bother to add a new team because it would cause some imbalances.
Besides, they could have added Tails as a playable character in Sonic Colours Ultimate but they didn't.

"SEGA has established itself as a world leader within the video games industry"
Wow Sega, humble much?
They were on top in the nineties, fell in two-thousand, abducted by aliens in 2005 and while they're well recognised as game developers they were never as on top as when they made consoles.

Sorry Sega, but PlayStation and Nintendo still have you beat.

Relic is best known for the Company of Heroes and Dawn of War games, and recently developed the new Age of Empires for Microsoft. Relic will transition to an independent studio and will no-longer be part of the Sega group of studios.
The majority of the 240 job cuts are across Creative Assembly and Sega Europe, while there will be a ‘small number’ cut from Sega HARDLight. There was no mention of other Sega UK studios, including Two Point Studios and Sports Interactive.
Creative Assembly had already suffered a range of redundancies following the cancellation of its Hyenas project last year.
“Sega is working closely with Relic on this shift, and we wish them the best for the future,” wrote Jurgen Post, who is the newly appointed head of Sega Europe.
“I want to sincerely apologise for the worry and understandable distress this news will cause, particularly for those directly affected. These decisions have been incredibly tough to make, and they follow meticulous consideration and deliberation with ...

Well, it won't matter anymore. Turned out the leak isn't true. Sonic Heroes Remake was "considered", not "developed".
But who knows if SEGA would change their mind someday.

This reminds me of when we talked about "Sega aesthetics" last year.

I do love the light color approach.

Well, he is the licensing and partnerships director.
It's his job to boost the company's and the franchises' image to make more licensing partners.
