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



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.

Ben Schwartz originally just voiced a short test scene as Sonic



Quote
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 or Bernadette? 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.

My IDW favorite is still Clutch the Opossum, but I do like Belle more than Tangle and Whisper.

I haven't played a SOnic mobile game in a long while, so this is the closest one I can play.

Oh... got my hopes up. I dunno if there is any Sonic conventions still going on in UK. Though I haven't been to a convention since Summer of Sonic.

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.
My IDW favorite is still Clutch the Opossum, but I do like Belle more than Tangle and Whisper.


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 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.

If I get Sonic Origins for Steam, would I get any discount, or at least some sort of "something" over the fact I already own all the Sonic games for Sega Mega Drive Classics?
I think the answer is likely nothing at all and that's fine. I don't mean to be greedy about it. Just curious.

Yeah, her death was never shown.

That would be cool. He could be like "President Lex Luthor" or "Major Fisk (Kingpin)" for Sonic storyline.

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.

Sonic CD on Steam however was the one that's a remake made with the retro engine.
It's basically the same game with the one in Origins.
Still no information whether we'll get any discount if we already had this one.

As a result, Sonic, the well-known blue hedgehog, is the most popular of all, with 6.7 million monthly searches.

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.



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

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.

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.

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!?

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.
