There are some good mods being made to fix up the Forces gameplay and make the levels a lot more substantial, including adding in an original Chaos boss battle (not just a reskin of another boss), I should really see how those are coming along.

Were they able to add proper momentum? The original just uses several preset speeds that it shifts between because it’s based on the Lost Wolrd code

I genuinely love this man's enthusiasm for the role. He's no Long John Baldry, but he's hilarious and he loves what he does.

Interesting that he specifies video games. Should we read anything into that regarding Sonic Prime?

I think Prime is being handled by a Canadian studio so it’d make sense if they wanted to use local talent for it. So it’s possible we’ll have one cast for the new cartoon and a different one for the games.

It could be they're doing what they did for AOSTH and having the big two va (Swartz and Pollock) take their roles whilst the rest are cancon?

But, really, between the show being 2022 and with Sega being tighter than a duck's arse on game news its probably not worth losing sleep over.

Ben Schwartz is union though, I’m not sure if Sega would be willing to pay for him (it’s the whole reason Ryan Drummond didn’t come back after all).

Tails at the end of the first movie looks better than even the improved movie Sonic so it's off to a good start.

Think they'll try to tie in Sonic Prime to this?

Also Jason Mamoa has apparently been offered the role of Knuckles in the new movie:

https://comicbook.com/gaming/news/sonic-the-hedgehog-2-movie-jason-momoa-knuckles/

Since Coleen’s leaving the games I assume she won’t be reprising her role in the movie either. Though considering movie Sonic’s backstory I am kind of curious how exactly Tails knows him in this universe.

Maybe they're talking about this:

Which is that French Sonic 3 adaptation comic that is weirdly similar to the plot of Sonic Adventure in places and features jungle dwelling Echidnas that weren't created by Ken Penders.

We could could call it Sonic 2 '22, maybe? There's plenty of Sonic stuff that's just called "Sonic the Hedgehog" that is usually given some kind of prefix or suffix.

I wonder if they'll make a third one and call it Sonic 3 & Knuckles.

For over half the movie, Jason Mamoa is bright green and some of his hair is mechanical. Tails sacrifices himself to save his father, Ixis Nagus, from the Death Egg Robot.

Tails immediately respawns and waves to the audience while yawning.

Ken Penders films a cameo for Sonic 2.

The fine print of the contract he doesn't read thoroughly relinquishes his ownership of any characters he owns from his run on the comic back to Sega.

The cameo is left on the cutting room floor.

Watch out folks, there's a hot new leak in town!

TLDR:
  • Sega of America is in charge of the overall franchise, though game development is still done in Japan
  • We're not getting Mania 2 or other "Classic Sonic" stuff
  • A Sonic Collection for the 30th Anniversary, likely containing Advance, Pocket Adventure, R and maybe others? The Genesis games will NOT be included. Developed by M2.
  • Mario and Sonic at the Olympics is in disarray due to problems with the 2022 Olympics
  • New 2D Sonic game in the vein of Advance/Rush, might be by Dimps but might not
  • The next 3D Sonic game is fully 3D gameplay instead of switching between 2D and 3D like in Colors/Forces
  • Not a boost game, the spindash is back
  • Character upgrades (presumably like Adventure)
  • Playable characters that aren't Sonic, though who exactly isn't known
  • Aimed for Holiday 2021 but if needed they're willing to delay release and miss the 30th anniversary rather than risk Sonic 06 2
  • Made by Sonic Team, except there's been big staff changes so this is basically meaningless
  • Sonic's planned to cameo in a bunch of games this year, starting with the previously announced Puyo Tetris 2 appearance
  • Predicted announcement Soon™ (by end of March)

Grain of salt but it sounds plausible? This person leaked Mario 3D Allstars and the Switch port of Mario 3D World though you could definitely argue that those were pretty easy guesses
