SEGA Unveils New Footage and Details on Sonic Mania

When is this coming out for Switch?

Do want!

This is a day one buy for me.

Would anyone else other than me want a sonic mega collection with the Sonic Advance games (and sonic battle), the sonic rush games, and sonic cd?

I feel like it's a missed opportunity.

I'M SO LOST IN THE HYPE SON!

It looks very good and the music's nice too. Seems a good compliment to old school Sonic.

I had this preordered on the Xbone, but made the Switch to our favorite new console as soon as they announced it. Can't wait!

2017, where SEGA will have a Sonic game on a Nintendo console before Nintendo have a Mario game on it~

Say that to someone in the 90s and you're laughed out of the room.

Day one purchase for me. Looking forward to new game / classic gameplay.

Never really loved a Sonic game yet, though, I will get it day one nevertheless.

I wish they'd give us a release date. Day one. I would buy this physically and digitally. Get on it, SEGA.

Too bad I can't find a Switch copy of the collectors edition. Getting this on xbone at the moment.

Can't wait!!! Definitely getting this day one!

It looks very bad and the music's meh too. Seems a insult to old school Sonic.

Must - have.

@ThomasBW84 The amount of Red Echidna in those screenshots is very appeasing to the eye. Excellent selections.

DEJA VU.

@SLIGEACH_WiiU How long do you think it will take him to realize that someone made a parody version of his account? I give it 4-5 hours.

I'm soooo looking forward to this game. Day one buy for me.

@Not_The_Messiah Words of wisdom my friend.

A lot of Wii U haters here, nobody understands me it seems.

Definitely want this !

@Menchi187 Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is releasing next month though.

Please don't mess this up, please don't mess this up, please don't mess this up...

@SLIGEACH_WiiU
What's the point in copying, very child like but fun for u no doubt. What ever tickles your funny bones I guess

want it!!!!

anc want project sonic 2017

and new announcements are coming soon!

@SLIGEACH_WiiU wow. U must be having a lot of fun. Whatever rocks your boat I say

Looks like this game is rid of the crappy homing attack from Sonic 4. Thank heavens. I like my Sonic games free flowing like the original games.

I will buy this. Classic Sonic is the best Sonic.

Would prefer a physical copy but I will get this once it's out on the Switch.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE You have a stalker....@SLIGEACH_WiiU. Heads up.

@Roam85 Oh heck yes. I would pay a full 60 dollars for a compilation of at least:
Sonic 1,2,3, knuckles, CD, Chaotix, Advance trilogy, Adventure 1 and 2. If they want to throw in game gear games and maybe sonic battle and shuffle, I'm down for that too.

A real Sonic game at last, definitely picking it up for both the PS4 & Switch when i pick it up as soon as Mario Odyssey releases.

I will get this game eventually depends on how the landscape looks like when it is released.

@SLIGEACH_WiiU Not quite sure what you are trying to accomplish here, except be an obvious troll - which in that case, you are doing a great job. Mocking @SLIGEACH_EIRE does no one any good.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE @SLIGEACH_WiiU Split personality troll disorder?

I'll definitely play it but the lack of information on it story and levels wise make me go meh.

@Ballzilla They have medicine for that ?

@SLIGEACH_WiiU only if your body is ready. Keep up the good work, troll the troll

This might be the best Sonic game since, Sonic Heroes.

I was hoping they iron out the bugs in the game since I encounter some bugs in the demo. I talk to some of the old school fans and apparently most of the bugs I found are from the original Genesis games. Maybe they are actually using an old engine to make this game?

Guess that Egg Robo's out for revenge on Knuckles....

Please SEGA, give us a physical retail version!

@RupeeClock I knew I recognised it from somewhere!!

I can't wait for this!! I hope it doesn't come out too soon because I already have too much to play lol.

I'm confused, is sonic mania almost like a reboot of the original games?

Sonic Mania on the go is going to be awesome.

It looks neither good nor bad and the music just kind of exists. Seems like life could go on either way if this game was released.

Had to laugh at Tails dying almost instantly. This is definitely faithful lol.

I'm really impressed with the game so far but do we really need another Green Hill Zone? It was already redone in Generations.

Also please Sega show Sonic CD some love..

This looks so good

Sonic=always fun, yes please

Love that music

I played this at a Switch Preview event and it was a lot of fun. Really felt like the older classics, and that is a very good thing. If you long for the old Genesis feel of iconic Sonic games of the past, you will love this game.

And yes, @MarioPaperBoy they did get away with the auto-aiming crap of Sonic 4.

@Menchi187 Mario Kart 8 Deluxe in April, so actually not true..

I must have this on day one.

I would give an arm and a leg for a physical "Christian Whitehead Collection". Imagine having all the enhanced ports of Sonic 1, 2, 3&K and CD AND Mania all in one neat little package. That would be the ultimate QUALITY Sonic collection for me!

I saw this same footage on Facebook and all I can say is AMAZING.

@MarioPaperBoy This homing attack made sense when it was made (for the Adventures). I still don't understand what was the point of incorporating them in scrolling platformers.

Hmm. Maybe.

Haven't had fun with a Sonic game in a long time, and i feel like the 16 bit era has used up much of my patience for 2d platformers. Ill see the reviews and go from there.

Can't wait for this game. It'll be super awesome to have Classic Sonic back with a modern touch. This is made by Christian Whitehead, a normal Sonic fan who really knows what he's doing (he worked on the Sonic 1, 2, and CD mobile releases I believe, and I think he almost got Sonic 3 on mobile too). I have confidence that Sonic Mania will show the media that Sonic has got what it takes.

@SLIGEACH_WiiU I'm so glad you're so excited for this game! And I agree the music and overall feel of the game is a perfect homage to the old school entries. I'm right there with ya, man on a day one purchase!

Definitely looking nice. Switch is going to be home to a lot of very high-quality retro experiences this year.

@NinjaWaddleDee what bout sonic rush games I relly liked those my self

@NicolausCamp plese may I jump in to your wold ware it exists and I can buy it

My god, the music alone is getting me in my feels ~

I'm looking forward to this!

I want this so bad. Can't find anywhere to pre-order in the UK though.

Looks pretty good so far. I'm not exactly as excited for this game as most other people are, but I'll still make sure to play it.

@Sean161 Rice, I think it was. Also she's a girl, Mako Mankanshoku from the anime Kill la Kill. Not a particular fan of the anime itself - mostly for the way the characters' movement is drawn - but I just love Mako for her energetic and air-headed personality and the way that personality is translated into animation. So expressive and funny!

@KidRad Funnily enough, I'm the exact opposite - found Generations overhyped and terrible to play (albeit with a fantastic soundtrack). The 3D sections were better though. Either way the bigger 'Project Sonic 2017' or whatever it's called looks to be more in line with that style, so keep an eye out for that I guess if that's what you prefer. Meanwhile I'll take Sonic Mania in a heartbeat.
