Sonic Superstars Street Date Broken, Inside Cover And Cartridge Design Revealed

Looks good, like Sega CD quality pictures. 💎

@PersianZSR Okay.

"If you visit your local mom and pop shop, you might get lucky."

I don't consider paying full price for a Sonic game lucky. Maybe I'll look into it in a few months when it goes on sale. No Sonic game has ever been worth the MSRP, IMO.

If this games score decently, I hope Sega continues to refine, and make it better. Instead of the usual strategy of just throwing Sonic into whatever to see what sticks.

Then after finding it does, erase it. and start the throwing game again for whatever reason.

@Maulbert Sonic Mania was the last title I went all in, and got the collector's edition. No Regrets.

@PersianZSR Thanks for taking the time to read an article about it and update us with this important information then.

Why doesn't that surprise me...orz. I'm sure the same will happen to Super Mario Bros Wonder...

Either way I'm not too bothered by spoilers. Even if I did see them, it's different when you experience it rather than just seeing it from the internet. At least it does for me.

@PokemonDMG LOL

Anyone else think the art style just isn't very good? 😰

@lakbo12 For me it's pretty ok Though, the reverse cover I do like.

Waiting for Switch version gameplay to pop up on YouTube now.

@lakbo12 I think it's fine for what it is. I know I'm in the minority, but I would love to see a 2D hand drawn Sonic style game in the future.

After playing Rayman Legends years ago and Wario Land Shake It, I just enjoy the way hand drawn animation can translate to videogame form so wonderfully.

@lakbo12 I like it. Compared to the drab colors of Sonic Frontier's, it's a nice reminder that's classic Sonic's world was always bright and lively.

@RainbowGazelle
People not allowed to express their opinions anymore?

I was going to say my interest increased significantly with that reversible cover art.

@TruthisRare That's not an opinion though. That's just a person informing everyone they aren't buying a prodcut.

Thanks for letting us know I guess?

OMG I LOVE the reversible cover art! I mentioned before on this site several times that I wasn't keen on the cgi cover for a retro style Sonic game and wished Sega would include 2d art like the old ones.

I had no idea they were actually going to have a reversible 2d hand drawn cover for those of us that prefer that 🤯

it's so freakin beautiful too 😍

And the spine matches the spine of the reversible covers of Mania and Origins Plus 😭

[Edit] and Tails is carrying Amy?!?!? qjdjfjxkNhysjcbdkkzhegb I'm so happy 😊

@samuelvictor I'm surprised you missed that, Sega revealed the reversible cover a while ago, I think back when they announced the Digital Deluxe edition?

@Nua I must have not really twigged that it meant that there was a proper 2d cover for those of us that want it. And it looks soooo good too. I really have mentioned in several threads on this site how much I'm looking forward to this game but how meh I felt the cover was. I'm very, very happy that I love this alternative so much, it will look beautiful displayed with Mania and Origins 🥰

It's gonna be tough to determine whether I display the reversible cover or not.

It was easy to decide with Sonic Mania Plus and Sonic Origins Plus: The cardboard sleeve shows the original cover art and the game case within show the SEGA Genesis cover. This time there's no cardboard sleeve to do that.

Respect for the guy not dumping the game.

@HammerGalladeBro Yeah I do wish we had a bigger cardboard sleeve and an art book like Mania and Origins Plus. Though I'm over the moon how well the 3 reversible covers will match each other. I display the cardboard separately to the game boxes on my shelf.

@samuelvictor I had the wrong trailer, it was for sure shown in the Multiplayer Trailer, with the art possibly being shown off elsewhere like the website with Modern Amy's outfit. Here is a link, they pretty clearly say it has a reversible cover. After Mania and Origins, it seemed pretty clear to me that it would mean different art on the other side.

@Nua Funny, I've watched that trailer several times of course, and it's not really registered. My main thought was that I didn't like the way the Switch box aspect ratio cropped the cg art, and I didn't really care about the acrylic stand.

That reversible cover was so small on the screen and only there for a second and I barely noticed. It was probably leaked elsewhere but I've been off social media for months now so wouldn't have seen.

Seeing this photo with the scale of it and how it fits the aspect ratio so much better than the cropped cg one, I love it so, so much 😊

@HotGoomba hakuna matata!

The silhouettes of the characters on the bar code are taken from their 16bit walk cycles, and Amy's is from her original Sonic CD frames when she chases Sonic (Not the new Origins Plus walk). That's so cool! 😍

@GoshJosh
Yes captain obvious.
There's nothing wrong with commenting on a medium people enjoy, even if it's constructive criticism or negative.
In saying that, you the nintendo life policeman?

@PersianZSR Yes you do.

@Fangleman32 lol. Comments sections can be so funny!

@TruthisRare Just seems a little odd to click on an article exclusively about one game, and then comment that you're not at all interested in said game.

@TruthisRare
No, I'm not the Nintendolife policeman. I'm actually the Nintendolife sheriff.

I can understand confusion, but there is a difference between the two.

@GoshJosh

All good, just some healthy debate/banter.
In saying that, ill be getting sonic superstars!

@PersianZSR Thank you. Very informative.

The reversible cover is sweet

@PersianZSR Good for you. Want a cookie?

@HotGoomba directly at the point 🤣

please say the Switch version is good

I had the PS5 version pre-ordered, but I switched (no pun intended) to the Switch version, as my son wants to play it multiplayer and I don't own two PS5 controllers (and can't justify spending £60 on a new controller right now).

Looks like a lot of footage is available thanks to a stream of the game last night. This also confirms:

@PersianZSR then why bother commenting on it

Looking at the sizable list of composers and yet the boss music is Sonic 4 style trash is something else

@JohnnyMind Yes! I'm still so delighted 😀

Day 1 for me, I ordered this over the new Mario game!

Spoilers related to the game's story could be circulating on YouTube, social media and elsewhere in the coming days.

He goes fast.

I am compelled to tell you all that I have interest in this game and will be buying it.

@TruthisRare Yeah, but that's not debating either. I don't see people telling him that his comment is wrong or that he can't say something like that, they are just responding accordingly to a weird comment that doesn't add much for the conversation because they are also allowed to.

Be careful of story spoilers made me laugh. Just going to take a swing in the dark but I’m guessing sonic fights robotnik

My frothing demand for this game increases

@Sonicka The spoiler you posted makes me really happy - I've not seen it and won't seek it out but as I wasn't sure about that design at first, that sounds like I'll love her 😀

@samuelvictor it’s gunna be great. I sort of wish I hadn’t seen… (didn’t catch much of the original stream) but also super excited about it now. Especially for the spoiler 🙂

Really hoping the rest of the game lives up to the potential… Just a few more days 😄

@Sonicka Couldn't be more hyped! 🤩🥳

Looking forward to this, but I'll probably get it on PS5.

@RainbowGazelle I'm not interested in this game, and will not be purchasing it.

@Pj1 oof. En....joy??

Not a Sonic fan but I really like it when publishers have artwork inside the game cases. It feels like a reasonable replacement for game manuals. Not a fan of when they change the spine though, as it clashes with the rest of the library.

Also, a high profile game getting anything less than like a 36/40 from Famit$u is usually a red flag lol.
