Maybe we will get Doctor Robotnik Mean Bean Machine skin for Robotnik.

It'd be really weird if Superstars was somehow a sequel.

[up][up] I was really hoping that Superstars wouldn't be tied in with Frontiers. Remember the last time they tried to tie in Classic and Modern Sonic together?

The game isn't related to Frontiers...

That post was about correcting a mistranslation of Iizuka saying Superstars was in a different dimension or something.

They're basically just saying Two Worlds is still dead. Yes, there's a chronology to the games and they're both in it.

Oh thank gosh. I was really frustrated by the idea that Fang, Bean, Bark, Rey, Mighty and Honey were exclusive to "classic brand" games and media, and characters introduced in SA or later are exclusive to "modern brand" sonic games and media.

I know Ian has said SEGA vetos him writing the classic exclusive characters in the IDW comics, but maybe that's for more executive reasons than just "they're exclusive to the classic brand, different universe."

I want to be able to play as Shadow, Rogue and Cream in a new 2D game somewhen y'know.

Edit: Cue the speculation of WHEN Superstars takes place in the timeline, given that Amy being a willing hero in her own right suggests it's after her SA 1 character arc, even if she's dressed like she was in CD.

Those classic characters are still restricted to "Classic Only" stuff...

The next chapter in Sonic Channel's Isekai Ogiri just dropped!

Who would've guessed Gemerl was a fan of a certain Heaven-piercing giant mech series?

The best bet of playing modern characters in a fully 2D game would be if they decided to do a spiritual sequel to the advance or Rush games. It could happen, but I dont think it's that likely.

I am surprised that Sega let them use Mecha Sonic Mk 2 in the modern IDW comics. He seems like someone who they would keep to the classic area regardless of the media used.

[up] I'd like to think it's them slowly, I'm talking baby-steps slowly, weaving Classic stuff into the Modern era. (Soon we'll have modern interpretations of Classic era characters, you'll see.)

Origins Plus is here. Amy feels real good! so does Knuckles in CD.

Although if you're on PC and have mods, you may have to rename/delete the mods folder and reinstall what you need, and if you have the decomps for 1, 2 and CD you may have to do the same for those. Otherwise Knux in CD and Amy won't work right.

[up][up][up][up][up][up] That made me smile this morning, I love me some giant mechas.

Gives me an idea that Orbot and Cubot could occasionally integrate into some of Eggman's machines and try piloting them to fight Sonic and pals.

Badly, maybe, but that can lead to some fun shenanigans.

Some of you guys can go ahead and laugh, but I was able to manifest Akira Kazama in Street Fighter V, so it's not impossible.

Anyway, Sonic Central time!

Oh, it's done.

Cliffnotes version!

  • Sonic Prime Season 2! The stakes have never been higher for Sonic! He's made a major mess, so it's on him to clean it up with the particularly peeved Shadow! All that and Metal Sonic too?!
  • Sonic Frontiers update will include not just birthday-themed cosmetics, but also a new game+ mode and new moves! 3D Spin Dash is back, boys!
  • TailsTube was apparently better than expected, so expect it to go bigger in the future!
  • Super Silver, Super Classic Sonic, and a new variant of Lancelot are coming to Sonic Dash and Sonic Forces Mobile!
  • Amy turns 30 this year, so IDW is celebrating with a one-shot comic featuring her saving the day!
  • No major update on the Sonic 3 movie or the Knuckles show apart from the fact that they exist, but I guess that's more for Paramount to announce themselves.

Sonic Frontiers update is now available, adds a NG+ feature, new episodes of Sonic Prime will be out this July, and a new interview with Iizuka and Ohshima regarding Superstars will also be out later today.

Don't know how un-helpful Shadow will be but it seems like he's going to definitely clear up the threads that Sonic had been running around. That end shot, dunno if it's this show's Metal Sonic or if it's "Sonic but as a robot" multiverse doppelganger.

And Sonic Prime continues to squander its premise due to budget, mandates, letting the wrong people steer the ship, or any combo of the three.

Could have saved themselves a lot of time, effort, and money by only having the altered timeline dimension.

[up][up]I don’t know what you’re considering to be the “premise”, but having only one altered timeline would require the core concept being fundamentally different.
