Sad but probably for the best. I won’t get my hopes up but it’ll be cool to see another studio get a try at a mainline Sonic game.

Honestly, if Sonic actually gets assigned to Sega of America I'm counting it a good thing.

Lets see we got two guys who make platforming games, three guys that make racing games, one guy that makes treasure hunting games, one guy that makes shmups, four guys who make fishing games, some weirdo that moved into our basement and won’t shut up about Sonic needing a girlfriend, and, uh...40 guys experienced in pet sims. Okay y’all, make a Sonic game.

Sonic has been managed out of the US for years now, the (former?) Sonic Team head and a few others have operated out of LA since 2016.

Sonic Team has contained multiple teams from the get-go, and the division it merged with primarily handled third-party development so the merger doesn't really indicate a hell of a lot about the conduct of either team.

There's a new Sonic humble bundle that now includes Mania and Forces, so if you wanted to get either or both of them for cheap along with some older titles that you may have missed, now is the time to do it: https://www.humblebundle.com/games/...tent=cta_button

Interesting that they did another one. Would be cool if it coincided with more Mania DLC or a Mania 2 announcement.

theres pretty much no way that another Mania Adventures cartoon doesn't tease some sort of 2nd DLC thing or a Mania 2 or whatever. i doubt there's going to be a full-on announcement but sega doesn't tend to do expensive animation projects just for the hell of it

What if: Either Sonic Mania 2 or more Mania DLC that makes Amy Rose playable, and they announce it alongside an announcement of Amy Rose in Smash with all the good Sonic music we've been missing

That was cute. Nice to see Classic Amy actually get some time in the limelight in the whole Mania thing; think she was the only one left yet to do so. Fittingly considering, feels like it wraps a nice bow on the thing.

And with pretty much everything to do with Mania, done so brilliantly. Musics already been mentioned, so I'll just highlight how great the outfits of Winter Classic Amy, and I can't believe, I'm saying this, Pajama Eggman. Somewhat started wondering while typing that if the PJs are a reference to something else previously. Like some pick in Sonic the Screensaver or something.

Also I know that the 'Knux is terrible at his job' thing is well known... but apparently Sonic and Amy (somehow) are just wandering the island, Metal is never followed up on and... Eggman is just living on the Island in a base Knuckles is well aware of? I imagine the Master Emerald is in an unrelated issue currently in several dozen pieces at this time too.

Maybe not explicitly 'tease', but it's safe to assume at a minimum a strategy of keeping the good will Mania earned bubbling along until whatever comes next.

Out of curiosity, how did Mania do in JP? In light of the restructuring, and the bit where Mania massively outsold Forces for a fraction of the production budget, I'm assuming not well, and Sonic is a western thing now?

Ha, thanks. Now got me wondering if my subconscious recalled that as as soon as I saw the pic in the tweet it came back to me instantly, or I'm just used to these people being essentially Sonic encyclopedias now, and of course they're going to find something that obscure.

Realtalk, Amy and Metal Sonic would be a great final DLC pair if they decided to add a bit more to Mania Plus. At that point, I think you've covered every character people would want to play in Sonic Mania.

I always thought the reason they didn't add them with Mania Plus is because they were holding them back for the sequel.

Amy could have her Piko Hammer boost she had in some games as her unique ability, get some speed and do insane high jumps, that would be entertaining.
