Yeah, it would be a retelling actually. But well, it was just a joke.
So Sonic 1 is the best selling Sonic game? Go figure. Doesn´t seems strange considering that it has been release in almost any console in existence.

What was the January and February news?
Any reason to think this stream will have anything substantial?

the announcement on January 20th was that they'd announce Sonic stuff on the 20th of each month. basically it was an announcement of the announcements.
Sonic 1 was bundled with the mega drive. I think that's mostly why.
Of course it was what sold the mega drive, but you get my point.
Was MEga Drive a high selling console. Don´t have much knowledge on SEGA consoles.
Mega drive is the genesis original name outside of north america, and that is sega's most sucesseful console so ye.
You can mod Sonic Generations to get that. I'm more interested in a PC port finally. I want to see modders go crazy with it.
that Sonic Station Live thing starts in about an hour from now, wouldn't expect anything from it though:
If there was an actual game announcement, i bet they would have had a stream more time friendly to US audiences like with the Sonic Mania event.
So, uhh, anything happen? I don't see any new threads or posts about it.
Just scrubbed through it and checked Sonic Stadium and yeah, not much in the way of game news, outside of showing some gameplay from Sega Ages Sonic 2 and the mobile Olympics game
Lots of merch though, like a bunch of new clothes for Japan and this new compilation album
Also confirmation that there'll be a Sonic Station every month on the 20th in Japan.
Ah. Oh well. That compilation album looks cool though. And I'm sure we'll see the merch on the Sega Shop soon. Thank you.
Here's a link to the new compilation album on Apple Music, if anyone wants it.

Maybe they'll have more to show with these things after they announce the next big Sonic game at SXSW.
When's that, and is it confirmed the next game is getting announced there?
The success of the movie almost certainly took them by surprise and they'll be scrambling to capitalize on it since all their merch plans were completely destroyed with the redesign.
Well, they didn't really announce a new game and more just said that Sonic Team is working on a Sonic game. Which, well...... yeah.
OP
OP
That is an announcement, not one with very much if anything really behind it, but an announcement nonetheless.
M2's Sonic 2 comes out today on Switch and I'm surprised they haven't leaned more into that.
That would be a fantastic idea that a lot of people would like, which means Sonic Team and Sega aren't going to do it.
Even better? ST just exclusively makes games that AREN'T Sonic. I could go for a new Tetris starring the Tetra crew.
Zed is best dad.
Kind with Capcom and a next Megaman game (hope is MMX9).
I want to believe next Sonic game is great! We need it.
Return of Doctor Dog, the Dog Doctor.Even better? ST just exclusively makes games that AREN'T Sonic. I could go for a new Tetris starring the Tetra crew.
Zed is best dad.
I would buy that.
Was this meant for the SRB2 thread? If so, I wondered the same thing. lol
I'll be the first one to bring light to sega's screw ups. But Games take time, and given the reception of the movie last year... who knew this would happen. That's not enough time to plan stuff around
To be fair Detective Pikachu kinda did the same thing. All they did was announce a Switch game a few weeks after the film was released and we haven't seen a single thing about it since then.
If anything half of Sega is probably annoyed and pissed it is doing so well.
The film was meant to release late last year. Team Sonic Racing and Sonic Racing were meant to be the tie-in games, really. A big reason you rarely see delays like this is specifically due to cross promotional deals. Those Sonic Movie masks with the old design still came around Halloween too.
Sonic is also most popular on mobile. There are at least three SEGA mobile games with Sonic in them right now that have film-centric events.
Not having some port of lined up for around now is pretty odd though. Hell, Colors and Generations not having any ports even after all of this time is absolutely bizarre.
Why? I wish sega would sell the sonic IP and let someone properly manage it.
Well, if everything about Sonic being now largely a Sega of America production is true, especially thanks to the new "Sonic Pillar" restructuring? It's not likely so much Sega Japan's "concern", either way.
You must not of been in the topic when people were trying to say that sega was done with sonic and there would be no game announced.
Well yeah, but the post I was replying to was specifically about a game tying into the movie.
All I can think of that they did at the time was an event in Pokemon Go, but when they actually announced a Detective Pikachu game they missed the hype window for the movie and by the time it actually comes out it'll be a least a year after it.
Detective Pikachu is weird because it's clear that the game went through some issues with how long it took to fully release. Feels like a lot of movie studios really wanted the Pokemon license and TPC gave out a new sub-series to test out the waters. The movie's story goes past the game, so I wonder if the Switch port/sequel is going to use the same twist.
Do people expect much from SXSW? Iizuka has talked about 2021 for a while now, so I wonder if it's too early. I don't see a Mania sequel happening anytime soon with Whitehead just starting Evening Star and working on Freedom Planet 2.

Who is to say that we will only have one coming game? One game for 2020 and other for 2021, the 2020 can be as simple as a spin off game like racing games.
Not that anything prevents them from unveiling 2021 game anyway, both forces and mania were revealed a year before release after all.
Also chrestain head working on freedom planet 2 is a misconception, he had a small role that he already fulfilled years ago with the demo
