I don't think there's enough time to develop that. It would have had be in the oven for a while. Maybe a mobile game?

Sega should just pick them up to do a SONIC FIGHTERS 2, wtf not
I think they've been fishing for this very thing for a while. Honestly, with the amount of time between Sonic releases anymore, it couldn't hurt. I know it's nostalgia talking, but earlier today I was just thinking about how we used to get so many Sonic spin-offs. Now it's basically just Olympics and Racing.
Granted, Sonic Labyrinth, Tails' Sky Patrol, Sonic Pinball Party, Shuffle, etc. may not have turned out the best. But I miss some of the experimentation.
(I also think Battle and maybe Shuffle could be remade with relatively small budgets and do pretty well, especially with an expanded playable cast and refinements.)
What we think we need: Sonic Adventure 1+2 Remake.
What we actually needed: Chao In Space 2 Release.

There's like, a 0% chance we won't get a sequel to Mania.
It's just not looking good if you were hoping it was going to happen anytime soon.
They aren't having a Xmas party at Joyopolis this year which is pretty crazy, since they have them, even on years without a major Sonic release.
I'll say it again. Next year is going to be a filler year. They'll hype up the anniversary and hint at the new games that'll come with it, but that's it, wouldn't expect anything else.

so target had forces marked down to $10, and i can't say no to a sonic game for that much...
wasn't this game supposed to be bad? I'm having a blast, it feels like the newer IDW comic in terms of story, and the variety in styles/power ups is neat too. not getting the hate here.

the common label people put on it is that it's "aggressively mediocre"
it doesn't excel in any area (aside from the create a character, which is somehow amazing), and the physics are all weird since it's not based off Unleashed/Colors/Generations, but Lost World instead
still, people have spent $10 on worse things, like 06 or Shadow the Hedgehog
The level design is shallower than Sonic 1's plot and has very little going on to keep them interesting past the novelty of a single playthrough, especially if you were looking for engaging 3D courses. There's a whole host of other issues with regards to controls/bosses/writing/music, but that's the big, crippling one, and coming out right on the heels of Mania did it no favors by comparison.
oh the physics have their issues (boss fights can be a shore) and I'm not gonna replay this
but I'm enjoying this more than unleashed, lost world etc. granted my expectations for non mania games aren't especially high, but this one's surprised me
what's the closest y'all have felt to something following up advance 2?
PS is anyone else really enjoying the IDW/pandersless comic

I've been enjoying Ian Flynn's work on the Sonic comics since his very first issue.
Forces is just such a step down in most every way from games prior, which is not the way it should work.
I think it's a little weary dealing with so much "Okay this didn't work, okay this didn't work", but they are trying to sell a concept, not just do something for a few issues and then get bored like Archie always did.
It still feels shackled to Forces in an unfortunate way, and that they're still trying to push Sega for enough room to tell interesting stories (I am SHOCKED that
).
The Tangle and Whisper mini-series was excellent.

They took Sonic's focus on "Mr. Tinker" further than I expected, and even gave Eggman a moment of hesitation over it. Hopefully they've put a cap on that for good, though.
they allowed Shadow to get transformed
The Tangle and Whisper mini-series was excellent.
Considering that the vast majority of animations in the current version of the game are just literally directly ripped off from other fighting game characters, it'd be kind of dicey to release it as a commercial product.
Right now, the most fun mini-game to play in Sonic Smackdown is arguably "identify which Capcom character is being reskinned for this fighter."
Yeah but they have skill to pull off changes with proper funding. Also not like fighters do shout outs and near reskin characters as is
Since it's now Christmas in many parts of the world, I just wanted to remind everyone that a certain someone cameos in Jingle All the Way and that you should go and watch it today if you haven't done so already (as if anyone needed another excuse to watch this timeless holiday cinematic masterpiece).

So with this decade ending, how would you rate it for the output of Sonic games overall?
For me, it'll probably land around a 5/10. Despite 2010-11's seemingly promising start for 3D projects, it lead to the decline in ambition, budget, and creativity which pretty much killed it for me in ways that have it ending up as my least favorite.

I've waited for quite a long time for a game like Sonic Mania. Just having it made this decade quite good in my end. The 3d games just pretty much died after Gens so for its most ardent fans it wasn't a nice decade for sure .
I'm very curious about what the near future holds for the series. I have no clue where Sonic Team will try to steer the franchise.

2010 to 2012 were some of the best consecutive years to be a Sonic fan. Colors, All Stars Racing, Generations and ASR Transformed back to back was great.
I think things kinda petered out after that aside from Mania, which is quite literally the Sonic game of my dreams (A 2D Sonic game designed as if it were a Saturn successor to the Genesis/CD/32X entries seemed like such a wild pipe dream!). Forces was wack and Team Sonic Racing was kind of boring.
It's kind of funny to think that the console generation with Sonic 06 is the one with a (somewhat) consistent turnaround in quality for the series.

Team Sonic Racing and Crash Team Racing could not be more different, despite hitting many of the same notes. Sumo did not get the budget or support it needed, even with the delay. And it's just amazing that the cast list is so ludicrously small, with zero DLC.
I remember thinking Sonic was gonna be back on track in at least a solid 7-8/10 way after that sprint at the beginning of the decade.
Ah, to be young and naive again, Mania notwithstanding.
