Iron Hammer Knight Vita bitches.

Vita Yagami is where all homages with Amy should begin and end.

And, there'd still be room for a Gaogaigar homage anyway, since Nanoha was Magical Girl Super Robots anyway.

As far as I can see the announcement doesn't say out right that Amy, Tails and Knuckles will be the playable characters, so I'm not going to take that as given. I certainly expect them to appear of course.

Given that it's free I'm not expecting them to develop entire new movesets and entire environments to accommodate those movesets. But maybe SEGA does see this as an opportunity to invest in the brand so who knows.

If it turns out it's a Shadow side story and he controls exactly like Sonic I won't be surprised, but I imagine Sega is aiming a little higher than that.

Then why add pics of them? I can't see your logic. The tweet even downright says new playabale characters.

This game also promised "five full islands" and what we got were three with the last two being cut up versions of the first one. Some skepticism is justified.

That said, there's no reason to assume it isn't Tails, Knuckles and Amy and we should assume it is them until proven otherwise.

In related news, Edge magazine gave Frontiers a 3/10, "severely flawed"

Skepticism is based on what you see. Seeing "new playable characters" right next to images of 3 characters and assuming those are the characters being refered to is, well, a proper way to process things.

I once again remind people that we were promised five islands, and got 3.5 Its important to recognize a pattern.

But like I said, assume the best until proven otherwise.

The road map promises playable characters and new story. I assumed Knuckles, Tails, Amy and Sage are depicted because they're part of that story.

Not to mention all four characters are depicted as being data ghosts, so wouldn't be able to interact with the overworld if they were playable in that state.

Like I'm not saying it's unlikely that team sonic are going to become playable, I think it's likely they are, but Saga is yet to promise that they are.

I wouldn't mind if they're fairly similar to Sonic like normal, but they up the abilities a bit. Though Amy I could see playing the most different, with no ball curling up again, focusing on things like hammer jumping where possible.

Tails and Knuckles for the most part really wouldn't be much different from the Genesis games unless they outright remove the Spin Dash as well as up their abilities and change up the areas enough so they feel wildly different. So something I ain't expecting. But going Sonic Adventure 1 isn't entirely bad either. It's a good way to start using them again, before they can really flesh out and polish more unique gameplay.

I mean, Tails and Knuckles in Adventure 1 have the same physics as Sonic pretty much, just a different double jump and standing attack.

They could give Tails gadgets, and make Knuckles the Boxing God.

Its because Amy was originally the Team Normal of the group who has no outstanding abilities.

Which translated to not having access to the same abilities as the others.

Silver similarly couldn't roll in 06 whereas Sonic and Shadow could.

One of the things SEGA/Sonic doesn't seem to struggle with is their social media. If they feel like there's some misunderstanding about Amy, Knuckles, and Tails being playable or having their own story, I'd like to think they'd just say so. Plenty of time to do so before that DLC actually comes out.

That's another thing, they haven't said a release date yet, which means a handful of time to develop these new characters.

I like to assume that they would have already been developing them before now and will continue to do so until next year.

Kishimoto gave info on The End's true form that hasn't appeared yet. It's a case of You Cannot Grasp the True Form, as it's based on what each character perceives as death.
