Yesterday brought us the first Sonic Central broadcast, which was very short and focused - quite a turnaround from the chaotic presentations of the past. It was arguably lacking pizazz and humour, however, the qualities normally associated with Sonic's social media escapades.
In any case, while we covered the big announcements there were a few we skipped past, as the stream had come at the end of a rather long day. But fear not, here are three more announcements from the show that may be of some interest to us Switch gamers.
First, it was announced that there'll be a Virtual Symphony performance of iconic Sonic tracks; it'll take place on Sonic's birthday - 23rd June - and will also have guest appearances from the likes of Crush40. It'll be free to watch and apparently it'll be part of Summer Game Fest.
Next up there's a quirky option in the upcoming Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 - The Official Video Game to play as Sonic or, well, as a person dressed in a Sonic outfit; the game's out on 22nd June. Sure, why not.
Maybe something a little cooler is coming to Two Point Hospital on 30th July, which will also be free. Various Sonic outfits, items and furniture are coming to the quirky sim, and they look like they could be fun.

Ended up making a joke about Sonic x Yakuza and it came true.
Imagine getting admitted to a hospital and it's all Sonic-themed while all the doctors are in Sonic fursuits.
@Noid imagine sonic telling you that you have terminal cancer
@Dragwhite Indeed!

Imagine telling Sonic he has terminal cancer.
So, we're all going to ignore the Minecraft Sonic collab tease that was shown at the 3:47 mark of Sonic Central? Not seeing it mentioned, it feels like I'm the only one who spotted this.
The Tokyo 2020 costume is reminiscent of the parade mascots used in promotional videos for the first Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games. If only there was also a Mario costume we would have a real competition between the mascots.
@SalvorHardin THAT SOUNDS WORSE
@SalvorHardin Gonna go... fast?
