If you give them to a toddler, they're gonna play with it.
Everything could be a toy.

True.

Can't help but be reminded of Mr. Blobby.

Happy New Year 2022 !!!

I don't want to get my hopes up. But with Origins, Prime, Sonic 2 and Frontier along the way it's gonna be a good year for Sonic.

Well, it's a new year, getting hopes up is recommended.
I'm feeling optimistic about Prime, Sonic 2 and Frontier,
but not Origins.
Rumour said Origins still stucks in development hell.
Hope it get resolved soon.

Given how crappy the last few years have been its's understandable not to get my hopes up in general.

In term of games may be hard to be optimistic,
but in term of Sonic as a franchise thankfully it's going very well
thanks to Sonic Movie.

I mean like things in general with the pandemic and such, but yeah.

Ahh.. I see..
But we are already adapted to pandemic, aren't we?
Unless more variants are coming after omicron...

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.

[Berto]

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

Sonic Frontiers was meant to launch 2021,
delayed to increase quality

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

Sonic's forward smash beats basically everything
Can it be defeated by any pair of fighters in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate?

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

Sonic's forward smash is basically invulnerable.
UR2SLOW previously explored why this phenomenon takes place, and it appears that the hurtbox around Sonic's forward Smash is essentially nonexistent — so the big fist functions like an invincible move without technically being classed as one.
The tests conducted includes sets of Link, Dark Pit, Banjo, Corrin, Ganondorf, Sephiroth, Shulk, Bayonetta, Villager and even Sora. Can any of the duo's best a single hedgehog?

I found a video but I doubt it's his voice actor... or anything Sega will approve of.

I'm positive the Sonic fandom won't mind this postpone and appreciate Sonic Team taking more time to put in effort and quality into the game.
