Classic is better than Modern. Just accept it.

So...modern Sonic is dead, right?

Colton Scott
What are your thoughts on Mighty and Ray being included over any other character?
Lucas Lee
People will say thankfully now, but 5 years from now when the series is in a financial crisis alongside SEGA we're going to dread it.
Jaxon Richardson
First for fuck you it's not a sequel. This R means more than just a reference. It's just got to.
Caleb Sanders
Iizuka clearly said no
Cameron Allen
SUPER SONIC RACING
Brody Harris
Bah
No, but I will accept our new lords and saviors Mighty and Ray
Asher Harris
I'm so happy he's back.
Gavin Kelly

YOU HAD ONE JOB!
William Reed
If you've seen or listened to anything SEGA/Sonic Team has said since October, the answer is no.
Nathaniel Johnson
The way I see it is that no sonic character is ever truly dead. The resurrection spell just has a long cooldown time.
Parker Turner
Why would he be?
Landon Hernandez
>has the best Sonic game in over a decade
>comes into your modern game
>makes tails his slave
>ruins 3/4's of forces by acting heavier, clunkier and slower than his Mania title
>asks the composers to maximize crappy synth to his music to kill the players ears
>leaves with no repurcussions
>gets all the classic content successfully killing modern sonic for good
Can a hog be more based?
Evan Bailey
it's a racing game with cars, you're not going to be running around on feet any time soon. Especially when they're incapable of making a proper 3D platforming Sonic game.
Jordan Brooks
i only came into the stream when they were going over sonic, tails, and eggman's character sheets; did they announce that today was iizuka's birthday?
Jace Russell
True previous current thread #1256
Benjamin Gomez
Pretty neat. Would've preferred Metal and Amy, but it's kinda neat to see them do a call back like that.
Xavier Miller
Would've liked Metal or Amy more, but this'll do.
Isaac Thompson
If it was Sonic R, except with more of Sonic's cast and more tracks, I'd be more than OK with that. If it's a new kart racer, eh, I wouldn't hate that either.
Jacob Adams
>Pictured: Average /sthg/ poster literally dying after being cucked by a blue manlet.
Camden Torres
Because anons on Veeky Forums said he is.
Honestly, I wonder how these anons took the news of the Sonic Boom cartoon & games back in 2014.
This. Metal & Amy would've been my number 1 choice for extra characters in Mania, but Mighty & Ray is easily the second best option for me.
Aaron Taylor
Literally who characters who only a dozen people heard of before today's announcement. They should have included more popular characters like Amy Rose, Shadow, or any of the Chaotix team instead
Grayson Russell
fucking happy as hell
>metal and amy
don't care. finally we get characters that matter like Mighty and Ray
Cameron Fisher
How would Amy work within the context of a one-button game?
Kayden Price
So, /sthg/...
What are you more hyped for?
strawpoll.me
Elijah Clark
Has Classic Amy gotten a single appearance in this century outside the comic? Ray and Mighty made an appearance before her.
Easton Stewart
>Honestly, I wonder how these anons took the news of the Sonic Boom cartoon & games back in 2014.
If I had the time, I'd dig up the old Sonic Boom announcement thread that got a sticky on /v/.
Ayden Lee
That Puma shoe is going to look like complete shit
Angel Cruz
Like most anons, I would've prefered Metal and Amy, but this will do.
Jose Smith
Some user suggested last thread a double jump, which could be neat.
They've done a good number of merchandise with Classic Amy.
James Edwards
>Shadow
user, I love Shadow but I don't think he has a place in Classic games.
Dylan Peterson
R sequel, if only because it's an entirely new game rather than a re-release. I would have preferred it if we actually got gameplay footage for either games.
Henry Young
>we wanna move the series forward
>classic sonic classic sonic classic sonic
>sonic mania +, sonic mania adventures,

ROLLING AROUND AT THE SPEED OF GROUND
GOT PLACES TO GO
GOT TO FOLLOW MY CASH FLOW
Angel Taylor
I'm a big Sonic R fag, but Ray and Mighty giving me new reason to replay Mania is a good deal. Plus we don't really know what kind of racing.
Gavin Reed
>wubba-lubba-dub-dub
Ah yes, finally! Another high-IQ individual like myself!
Nicholas Nguyen
100% accurate and correct.
Henry Gomez
I can't wait until they reveal that it's a classic Sonic kart racer.
Carson Ramirez
I didn't care much for Mighty, but I appreciate his appearance.
Who the fuck asked for Ray, though?
Oliver Adams
BOY I AM READY FOR 30 MORE YEARS OF SONIC MANIA.
9/10 REVIEW SCORES HERE WE COME.
Aiden Phillips
Racin' game. I've been itching for one for awhile now.
Mighty and Ray are cool, but no new levels brings it down a bit and no info on encore mode doesn't salvage it.
Jack Thomas
Mina Milestone Maybe?
Jayden Butler
Mania Metallic Madness boss had a Classic Amy Doll
Adrian Gomez
It is lol.
who else is supporting superior sonic?
Ayden Gutierrez
Probably nobody, but Mania is full of obscure references nobody would have noticed.
Ethan Smith
I was hoping for at least one new level in Plus.
Maybe in hindsight that's too much to ask, but I don't have much interest in paying for Ray and Mighty.
Sonic R 2 Boogaloo should be fun.
Brody Rivera
topkek, Morty!
Jaxson Nguyen
Fighters and CD Re-releases. She's mostly reserved to merch.
Anthony Allen
>Some user suggested last thread a double jump, which could be neat.
I'm willing to bet that's going to be Ray's gimmick.
Chase Mitchell
To be fair, Mighty is pretty niche too. But I care more about their abilities. Really hoping Ray isn't just a reskinned Tails or Knuckles. And I hope Mighty has unusual tricks too.
Robert Nelson
>If I had the time, I'd dig up the old Sonic Boom announcement thread that got a sticky on /v/.
foolz.fireden.net
Jose Campbell
There's a bundle? Sweet.
He's part of a package deal like charmy and the chaotix
Brody Russell
I will definitely consider thinking about possibly getting the comic bundle perhaps maybe.
Sebastian Bennett
comes with a t shirt and alternate cover
Noah Nelson
youtu.be
Parker Evans
Sonic is nothing but references now.
Ayden Peterson
Mania Plus is a free update for existing mania owners.
I'm a meme, morty! Nothing matters! Hahaaaa! I have an IQ of six billion!
Jason Nelson
And memes, don't forget memes.
Matthew Ortiz
It's not. in the panel they said they'd announce prices for the thing at a later date.
Nathaniel Baker
I turned myself into a chili hotdog, Morty! I'm Chili Rick!
Elijah Jackson
>LITERALLY Peach
Sega has had no capacity for original ideas whatsoever from the beginning.
Asher Johnson
Sooo...
Next mainline Sonic game announcement when, /sthg/?
Nicholas Miller
They are moving the series forward.
Shun Nakamura talked about this a while back, but he said something along the lines of "SEGA wants to bring Modern & Classic fans together." SEGA/Sonic Team are no longer gonna appeal to just one side of the aisle, while ignoring the other side like they did with Classic fans in the 2000s, or like some Classicfags want to happen with Modern fans.
They're making 3 branches of Sonic going forward, so that way fans of the different forms of Sonic can all be catered too. And doing that, means SEGA gets money from Modern & Classic fans as opposed to just one side & that means more money going in SEGA's pockets, which would mean bigger budgets for Sonic games.
They've been talking about making Sonic a huge multi-media franchise & this is jut one of the many ways they're going through with it. For all of SEGA's faults, this is a pretty smart move for them.
Jackson Richardson
Oh. Boo.
Anthony James
user please. The fans' parents have enough money to keep Sonic going for a lot longer than that.
Elijah Butler
What do you mean? Mania Plus was just announced.
Aiden Wright
I couldn't care less about them, but at least people will enjoy playing as them.
Anthony Johnson
Yeah, just like Chaos 0 in Forces amirite?
Gavin Evans
Probably next year. Mania Plus and the Racing game is to tide us over until next year.
Gavin Collins
that's just a deluxe version of the game.
Luis Davis
>They're making 3 branches of Sonic going forward
Classic, Modern andddd...
Elijah Harris
People on /v/ are already acting like they love Ray when in reality, he probably been a thought in their minds for years prior to today.
Bentley Gomez
No, this is the canon #1255. The other one was all crossboard shitposting. Fuck off with your fake thread.
Jose Evans
>jump and press the jump button again and Amy swings her hammer around her like that shield thing Sonic does in 3
>stand perfectly still and press a button and Amy swings her hammer
Gee, so hard.
Anthony White
External Media Sonic. Comics, TV shows,
Movies, etc.
Eli Morris
>can't jump without moving
Sounds awful.
Christian Young
William Russell
when they are ready to talk about the movie since it will be a movie tie-in
Jaxson Fisher
Jaxson Barnes
>Syy
He'd give it a 10/10 if Cream was in it
2019. Possibly a tie-in to the movie.
Blake Ross
They said in panel that they'd talk about prices later. They already revealed the physical editions price, they couldn't have been talking about anything else.
Colton Parker
It has encore mode and it also has Mighty and Ray. It's literally the Sonic & Knuckles of Sonic Mania. It's basically the next mainline game in expansion form.
Lucas Peterson
ohno
Welcome home friends
Cameron Russell
How about, whenever you turn around with some speed, Amy swings her hammer as she turns. Doesn't slow you down or anything it'd be just a free hitbox for turning around.
David James
>People on /v/
>People
You mean the same people from here cross posting on /v/.
Liam Rodriguez
fake news? I'm not home right now, but I watched the panel. it was a small sentence, but they said something about pricing and never mentioned it being free.
Jacob Murphy
>he can finally get off his drinking addiction.
yay
Jacob Carter
An user in the previous thread hypothesized that they'd both be like playing half of Knuckles. Ray having gliding and Mighty being able to plow through walls. That seems likely to me.
Zachary Evans
So is this a retired picture now?
Ethan Ward
>They said in panel that they'd talk about prices later.
Are you sure they weren't talking about the digital price after the update goes out rather than the update itself?
You know, like how Shovel Knight became more expensive?
Hudson Price
>Mighty will never rescue/see his sister after Penders got her erased along with most of the rest of the Archie comics, followed by the comic cancellation
>then he gets to be in a new game
Austin Lopez
Nathaniel Campbell
Saying references and memes is redundant.
Sebastian Parker
Must've sent them to rehab to get cleaned up.
Henry Lopez
Except Sonic & Knuckles added levels.
