SUDDENLY A NEW SONIC CENTRAL THIS FRIDAY!

Which turns out to be Sonic's birthday! (And also, Ian Flynn knows something we don't!)

Crazy how there's a new 2D Mario and a new 2D Sonic game coming out near the end of this year.

Closest they've been to real competitors in ages.

Even better, they are establishing new storylines and ideas instead of rehashing old ones.

That Super Mario RPG remake is an exception.

I know for sure I'm gonna be asking for Super Mario RPG Switch for Christmas. That just leaves 1 (2 if lucky) more games. I want to say the Peach game will be the 2nd, but I have a feeling it'll be a 2024 release. If that's the case, I'll for sure ask for SMB Wonder. Which is kind of weird considering a couple weeks ago we were giving crap to NSMB and I claimed that I wasn't very interested in SMB. Hilarious in Hindsight at its finest.

Also, Origins Plus this Friday I suppose. And wasn't the second Frontiers update DLC thing supposed to release this season too?

So the only things they could reasonably be showing this Friday are Origins Plus, Superstars and the next update to Frontiers right?

Perhaps an update for Sonic Prime too.

Yeah, I’d be surprised if there wasn’t a Prime update coming. It’s been a good while since we got information about that show.

It is a safe bet we'll be getting some sort of info for the birthday update for Frontiers, maybe even a shadow drop

Last time Mario and Sonic had two big games coming out around the same time as each other was in late 2017 with Mario Odyssey and Sonic Forces. That was more like a slaughter than a competition, hopefully both Mario Wonder and Sonic Superstars are actually good and we don't get a repeat of that.

Eitehr way. I just wish we could pre-order Origins Plus or even the digital upgrade beforehand. I know the upgrade will at least be about, what, £8 maybe?

I just hope the Frontiers DLC will actually be worthwhile. Considering the only other new Sonic game related things we're getting involves the Classic games I want something to look forward to. That 1st wave DLC didn't really do it for me. The reward for S Ranking the boss rush was basically DMC's Hell and Hell mode and all you need to know is that I've had DMC 5 for at least 2 years and that is the only difficulty I never touched. Then the Cyber Space rush reward is practically worthless in my eyes because those Cyber Space levels are a 1 and done deal for me, just like Forces' Classic Sonic. Not helping is that I'd have to suffer through 1-2 again. As for the Jukebox, it's nice listening to different music while running around, but you can't change the music for boss fights (Just imagine Knight of the Wind with Knight) and I'm saddened by some exclusions like Endless Possibilities and Vandalized. Only 40 songs seems a little limiting.

Mario is getting a remake/remaster of the very 1st RPG in the series, an SMB game that looks like it may have a twist, a remaster of a Luigi's Mansion game (Though to be real I don't really pay much attention to those), Sparks of Hope DLC, and maybe another Princess Peach game after 18 years. Needless to say, it looks like this will be a strong year for the red Italian Plumber. As a fan of both series I really hope the DLC sticks the landing with at least one of these updates.

[up]There's definitely some licensing issue with Endless Possibility; it's one of the only tracks since the games went 3D to not be available in its original form (as opposed to covers or remixes) on any modern music platform.

I see what everyone is saying, and I understand. More than ever, we need the next Mario and Sonic game to come out right now.

Box art is absolute fire. And LEGO Eggman skin?? The stand and poster??? Yeah, I'm pre-ordering lol.

But Mario, why can't you let Sonic live? [lol] I know it's not a competition, but you got a traditional 2D throwback with 4-player co-op dropping probably within a month of each other. And I'd bet on a Nov release date for Sonic, so Wonder comes out first.

Don't worry, this is the Sonic that actually could compete with Mario
