This is LONG overdue but I'm so thankful it's finally happening!

Is it going to be a wide release?

This better be included as a free update for those of us who already bought the game.

It better be for all platforms that the digital version was for. I'm at work so i can't check so is it? Or has it not been announced yet? EDIT: just saw the post above mine so nevermind.

Really cool that they brought back two of the deadest characters from the Sonic franchise.

... I still would've preferred playable classic Amy but I'll take what I can get.

Fucking tits, every goddamn time I say to myself "Oh, well, this isn't getting a physical release, I guess I can force myself to buy digital" a physical release pops up later on.

Gah.

OP says December 2018, others say summer. Which is correct? Also, glad I held out for the physical release.

Click to expand...

It includes more than the base game and is more expensive than the base game so no, I don't think it will be or should be.
Can I combine with my save files on base Sonic Mania though?


Ray and Mighty holy shit lol
Amazing
Day 1 for physical release

Octopath Traveler, Crash Trilogy, Captain Toad, YS VIII and now the physical release of Sonic Mania: there aree too many interesting (at least for me) Switch games in summer and not so much time until the end of July.

Not double dipping on a game that should've had a physical release from the getgo.
