-.---.----..
Amy would probably have more visual novels. Not more detective games though, since those would mostly go to the Chaotix, with Murder's change of pace being a one time thing.

I love that there's now a Sonic game that can just be shortened to "Murder". The last Sonic games have been Mania, Forces, Speed Battle, Dash, Frontiers, and MURDER.

Also, Sonic has nearly died in 3/4 of his recent media: Movie 2, Frontiers, and Murder, only missing Prime. Someone keep a close eye on Rusty Rose.

Everything is AWESOME! Or should we say Everything is Way Past Cool, because we got an official reveal of NEW LEGO Sonic sets coming August 2023!

  • Sonic’s Speed Sphere Challenge (292 pieces) includes Sonic, a brick-built Moto bug and Sonic’s Flicky friend. Along with the launcher, you get an arch, gold rings, a ramp, and a beach chair and DJ mini-builds for when Sonic’s had enough of heroics and wants to chill.
  • Tails’s Workshop and Tornado Plane (376 pieces) is mostly about the swoopy plane. But there is a basic workshop façade for the heroes to tinker in. You also get Sonic (cheekily lounging on an easy chair), Tails, a Buzz Bomber build, and a tiny Clucky.
  • Amy’s Animal Rescue Island (388 pieces) features Amy and a second appearance for Tails, along with an excellent brick-built Crabmeat. There are three tiny animal figures: Picky, Pocky and a Flicky. The play build is substantial and integrated: a beach theme, with hidden areas, one of which opens when Amy whacks a button with a hammer.
  • Sonic’s Green Hill Zone Loop Challenge (802 pieces) most resembles a game, and includes a huge loop assembly, along with a Dr. Eggman end-of-level battle. The big bad now exists in minifig form, and you also get a Sonic and an Amy. There are brick-built takes on Badniks Chopper and Newtron, along with four dinky animals: Flicky, Becky, Pocky and Pecky.

Official LEGO Death Egg Robot when?

Really, even Natalie Haines from the IDW side of Sonic is geeking out!

Have an official reveal video, featuring Roger Craig Smith as Sonic! And Mike Pollock as Eggman!

And I think I might have joked too soon about an official Death Egg Robot set!

Dang, they really took all the criticism about brick-built Eggman to heart and went the extra mile, giving him a completely unique custom minifig body. Kinda looks like they used Harry Potter's Hagrid as a template, but it's clearly different.

Also, here's your reminder that the chief business & brand officer at Sega of America shares a first name with a certain Dr. Robotnik.

If we replace Sonic torso piece with a leather jacket piece you could have an Anti-Sonic minifigure. If we gave Amy a white t-shirt, green trousers and a crossbow we could have a Sonic The Comic Amy minifigure.

With how easy they made taking down enemies, it seems like they should've left out all the dialogue relating to any kind of patience and defense.

Silver can literally just pick up every enemy without having to do anything specific to stun them.

Finally finished The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog and man, this game was amazing! I just loved the mystery aspect of the visual novel and the characters were actually written pretty well for once! Also, the fact that the game was about the train coming to life and trying to kidnap the conductor was surprisingly intense. Also, the gameplay with the platforming was a bit hard, especially towards the end of the game, but it was still fun! SEGA really needs to make more games like this one in the near future!

I wish I made a save file right before the final boss so I could replay those last levels. I'm gonna do it now, actually.

Cool! I did the same thing when I was playing the game. I had to save it before the final boss because once you get to the final boss you can't really save the game from that point forward.

Looks like it hasn't been shared yet, but here's a closer look at the LEGO Eggman minifigure we'll be seeing in the upcoming LEGO Sonic sets!

Looks kinda weird, I admit. But it still looks like everyone's agreeing it's a step up to the original LEGO Eggman we got from the LEGO Ideas Green Hill Zone set.

Fun fact: There's a precedent for LEGO minifigs having longer legs. LEGO has also been using longer legs for the Na'vi characters for their LEGO Avatar sets and Woody for a number of Toy Story sets (I say "a number" because there are some cases where LEGO Woody had normal-sized legs).

I'm impressed by how good the project 06 footage looks. 3D sonic gameplay doesn't appeal to me but I'm really eager to watch my girlfriend play through it once it's completed. Only the bosses, cut scenes and final sequence left to do?

I read this on twitter, but anyone else feel like the supporting characters should have their own personal nemeses as opposed to everyone just being focused on Sonic?

Short answer: No all of them.

Long answer: The supporting characters *are* supporting characters, they are meant to support Sonic in his adventures. However, I do support the heavy hitters to have a personal enemy. Blaze, Silver, Shadow, if they have a protagonistic role, and not surprising the first two share the same: Eggman Nega. That said, I am fond of Whisper having her own antagonist in Mimic...but part of me feels annoyed the IDW originals are getting so much focus lately.

Out of the entire game cast, only Shadow and the Rookie felt like having an archnemesis with Black Doom and Mephiles for the first, Infinite for the latter. Black Doom was enigmatic if a bit borish, Mephiles was an enigmatic idiot, and Infinite was a weakling, with his mask hiding his shallowness.

Yes, that would have been the best thing to do with several of the side characters years ago when they started getting personal stories of their own. Tails, Knuckles, and Shadow at least could do with having one. Blaze already has one (Eggman Nega), she just needs more games about her and him with Sonic and Eggman showing up.

I Like Mammoth Mongol and Dr. Finitevus from the comics as nemeses for Tail and Knuckles respectively, as a reference for what I'd like to see for those two if it ever happened.

If Knuckles got his own personal nemesis, that would at least give him a function beyond tagging along with Sonic again. And it wouldn't be particularity hard to justify, since people other than Eggman could conceivably want the Master Emerald, forcing Knux to protect it.
