Is Wonderboy series still a Sega franchise?
Yes but some of the game's a joined franchise with LAT and Weststone too.
Kinda like Pokemon is a joined franchise of Nintendo, Game Freak, and Creatures.
I hope so. It's kind of a "concern in the back of my mind". If these games don't do well by Sega's expectations, it might be decades before Sega are willing to do anything else with them.
I do really have concerns for these games since I have a feeling that all of these games will be either a Free-to-Play or GaaS (Games as a Service), like POS2.
Oh wow1 Snowdrift Sonic looks cooler than Christmas Sonic!
The outfit is flashier and more royalty-like.
