It’s the season 4 finale of SONIC WEEKLY. That’s right, we’re taking another hiatus!
But before we do, it’s an extra-sized episode as we crack open the mailbag to answer listener questions, spin the Rings of Saturn, and dive into reviewing Ken Penders’ Knuckles Omnibus vol. 1 with our friend Sango.
Stay tuned for Season 5!

Well, yeah. But if a game is panned by critics and consumers then it may make or break a franchise. For example even if you like Balan Wonderland, it's poor sales and reputation means we'll never get a sequel.

Exactly that's the way how corporates think, and now you understand why SEGA didn't revive Alex Kidd.

I guess they couldn't get Roger or Coleen.

Yeah, don't know the reason. Either their budget, schedule conflicts, or time restraint. Probably the last one.

Oooh! Joker mod! I don't have the game yet, but I want that mod for it!

Joker replaces Joker. What a fitting mod.

Oh, I already knew. I just wish they gave it another go, as Jankenteam did. But given the DX didn't amount to much, that's that for, I guess.

Joker replaces Joker. What a fitting mod.

The glove industry that desperate for marketing, that they made a day dedicated to hand garmets?
That's... underhanded of them!

I bet Joker wins!

That's depend whether Joker could get his act right or not before facing Joker.

The glove industry that desperate for marketing, that they made a day dedicated to hand garmets?
That's... underhanded of them!

But those kind of marketing fits like a glove!
