Sonic The Hedgehog's Physical Card Game Locks In A September Release

Wait so this isn’t a ccg but more along the lines of Uno or Phase 10? Well....I WAS intrigued ....

Making a fast playing card is a lazy low effort zero imagination way of trying to convey Sonic in a tabletop game.

@MrGlubGlub In fairness a 'fast playing card' game sounds right up Sonic's alley. Regardless of quality.

Seriously though does sound a little disappointing, again right in Sonic's comfort zone.

Perhaps they are saving their best card (pun intended) for E3?

No Cream. Easy 0/10

@MrGlubGlub He’s got at least two other board games and a dice game. This is just another option.

Nothing emotes the experience of speeds surpassing the sound barrier as much as a game of cards.

@Rohanrocks88
And they aren’t even competent at it they sent Team Sonic Racing out to die and never gave it DLC and we still don’t know if Mania is gonna get the sequel or spiritual successor it deserves.

Is it bad that my initial reaction to this was "Yay, Blaze is on the cover!"

If the card look nice I will Gather them.

Sounds like a radio show cash game... "Do I try and get more but risk losing it all, or stop with what I got?"

The box art already set off the alarm bells!

This is a nice intro to Sonic for younger audiences, but calling this a "table top game" has built up expectations. It's technically correct, but I think the market would benefit from some more words to describe sub-genres.

What is it with SEGA and Sonic and failing to manage expectations? Do they get a kick out of it, or are they really this ignorant?!

@nocdaes From the marketing I understand that it is a push your luck card game. I can't think of any other game similar to it at this price point and weight. It could find itself selling well in the community if it is a decent enough game.

They definitely should have thought harder about the name though. The name definitely implies a trading card game which this is not. Something like Sonic Card Dash, whilst not an amazing name, doesn't imply a TCG.

Movies, cartoons, comics, card games, mobile games... Sonic gets everything, except good games. No wonder they want to make a remaster of Sonic Colors. This game, Mania and, Generations were the only good games in the last 10+ years.

@RareFan I was just about to say that you are forgetting about Sonic Allstars Racing, but that game is 11 years old now 0.o

I suppose the sequel, Transformed, still kinda counts though even though I didn't like that one as much as the first.

why do people act like just because sonic is segas biggest franchise that’s it’s somehow the only franchise it taps. It’s not.

@Kiz3000
Sega kinda ruined the racing games with the last title. Taking all the Sega-characters out, only focusing on Sonic, recycled to many old tracks, and didn't even take advantage of the Sonic-series.

Cool! Always preferred 2D sonic!

@Rohanrocks88 yeah not like they released a new trailer for hotd remake, or released virtua racing on the switch, new streets of rage, new Alex kidd, yakuza, wonder boy remaster, or panzer dragoon

...oh wait.

@RareFan I agree it was far better not just focusing on sonic, racing around curien mansion as aiai was a lot of fun xD

@Rohanrocks88 that's not even mentioning things like two point hospital that they own the intellectual property for

You said sonic is the only IP they have.. you were wrong, deal with it.

Love how you change the narrative yeah not like Nintendo use any of their old franchise names is it, and their IPs dont need to be on switch for them to own the rights to said IPs stop being so american about this, you are wrong, deal with it.

@Rohanrocks88 It was never a question about them sucking or not, again with changing the narrative lmao

You said Sonic is the only IP they have.

Sonic is not the only IP they have. You are wrong.

Stemaforged then eh. Mmm.. They have a hit and miss track record for me.

The Resident Evil Board Games are really great games despite some overly complex mechanics but I enjoy them, their Ni No Kuni 2 game however was terrible, really beautifully designed in regards to the way it looks but it's gameplay is so lactlustre. I hope because this is made for kids it's not obscenely easy. Kids games can be great fun for a quick round or two between heavy tabletop games

@Rohanrocks88 They have multiple intellectual properties

Did you suffer a head injury? We've been over this

Oh wait you're american, nevermind

@Rohanrocks88 Ok? So if you're being sarcastic you're actually saying they have loads of ips? Or do you just not know how sarcasm works?

Let me just leave this here

And why would I care if they make another console? Keep reaching

@Rohanrocks88 You see, this isn't called sarcasm, this is called a red herring.

It's when someone who's losing an argument tries to divert from the original topic.

They have multiple intellectual properties. But do please keep going lol

@Rohanrocks88 I see you can only afford a switch

@Rohanrocks88 😂

...I dont care lmao

Can't wait to play the Sonic Boom version: at random times during the game you shout "DEVELOPER GLITCH!!!" and punt-kick the game map and scatter cards everywhere!

@Kiz3000 No, it doesn't! I certainly don't immediately think of a TCG/CCG when I hear something described as "the card game." The name is fine.

Anyway, this sounds pretty good and something I'd prefer to get over a TCG/CCG. I'll keep this in mind once it comes out and we get some further details.

@Kiz3000 Really? I find "Transformed" to be equal or better than the first game in every aspect to where I simply sold the first game as being an inferior, redundant option I no longer had any use for. "Transformed" has better graphics, added and improved mechanics, more characters, more content, online play that still works (even if it's not very populated these days), etc. The controls still aren't as tight as in Mario Kart, but that's an issue with the first game as well.
