The Hornet would off been PERFECT FOR HER! Nascar Racer in a SEGA’s equivalent of a NASCAR vehicle ? It works so well but nope Hot WHEELS! which I admit looks pretty awesome in game but Daytona USA’s Hornet needs some love lol
Not all the racers have been revealed yet, and Sumo has hinted that the final big unlock is a racer that covers multiple IPs. So we may get a Hornet that transforms into a different SEGA arcade vehicle for air and water (After Burner jet and Hang-On jet ski?)
well that was embarrassing to watch. I like how they decided to have her saving Amy rose to demonstrate some kind of grrl power. yuck.
Where the hell is Ryo Hazuki ???
