Hopefully it's only a timed exclusive.

Survey says it might be!

SonicWindBlue, a brand ambassador for Sega Hardlight went on the record saying Apple Arcade's exclusivity only applies to other mobile devices. So while Android stans might not get to have the game, there's nothing stopping Sega from releasing Dream Team on PC or console in the future.

The Apple Arcade release only prevents the release on other mobile platforms (e.g Android) due to exclusivity agreements. This does not mean that the game can't get a release on console / PC.

The news is not correct, by the way. #SonicDreamTeam

I wonder why SEGA wanted this game to be in Apple Arcade instead of a game console?

They probably didn't. I imagine Apple footed a lot of the development bill.

I heard that the reason why SEGA put this game on Apple Arcade is because they want to earn enough money to put into the mainline games, although I don't know how true that statement actually is.

What kind of platform is Apple Arcade? Is it a mobile device?

So like, this game would only run on stuff like pcs and phones that are owned by Apple?

Yeah. You need something like an iPhone, iPad or a Macintosh computer so you can access the Apple Store and the Apple Arcade service.

It will only run on Apple stuff, but only because of the exclusivity. There's nothing about the games themselves that keeps them from being anywhere else, just the terms of whatever deal a developer might have with Apple for that game. And they aren't limited low-effort, make-a-quick-buck fare either - Quality games have absolutely comes out of Apple Arcade.

You know, between this and Sega's claim that they want Sonic to surpass Mario, I really, really think that their refusal to spend all that much money on the game's development is a huge problem that stand in the way of that goal.

I mean, while the games still do have their merits, the lack of proper budgets really stands out in their games, especially when Nintendo actually does put real money and talent behind the Mario games, even the sidescrollers, meaning that the Sonic games just look and feel anemic compared to the much more lavish experiences that the former provides.

It's like when the Friday The 13th series was hampered by Paramount not willing to spend too many resources on it, compared to New Line's Nightmare On Elm Street series.

If SEGA wants to surpass Mario (and honestly, I'm getting sick and tired of the whole Mario vs Sonic thing. That rivalry has sailed years ago), then SEGA needs to have better management when it comes to the Sonic games and actually try to learn from their mistakes a bit better when dealing with Sonic games. It seems like every time SEGA makes a mistake with the Sonic games, they don't really learn anything and they keep repeating the same mistakes over again or make things even worse.

If they could put as much energy and focus into their games as they do their "AWW YEAH WE HOT SHIT EAT IT MARIO", that'd be swell.

I find it quite strange that both Mario and Sonic have a game called Dream Team. Granted, Sonic's is a mobile game, but still.

While we're sharing funny pics, I got two, both related to our favorite rabbit!

Also, Sonic Channel is doing one more isekai ogiri vote! It's Super Sonic vs. Eggman, but we have to vote if they fight in Station Square or the Special Stage.

I think I'll pass on voting on this one, the outcome isn't that interesting.

Someone on Reddit noted that Ariem (the ram girl at the end) is not only a couple letters off from Ariem (the zodiac symbol which is a male ram) but she also has all the letters to spell out R.E.M Sleep. Clever.

Does SEGA itself still promote the idea that Sonic is Mario's rival in any meaningful way?

By who?

I might vote for the special stage in this isekai thing, but I'm not really that interested, unlike with the Knuckles one, where I'm still surprised and a bit disappointed Rouge lost. Ah well. At least there was this image from some time ago, referencing Rouge's SA 2 alt costume. I stumbled across it as I was trying to find prior isekai images, but unfortunately Musk's Twitter sucks for non-users and you can't sort by date. It's funny. Even though Rouge's eyes usually look like that, they still aren't as "bedroom eyes" as Mighty is giving Knuckles here.

As I was going back through, here's some other images I like:
