Sonic's Original Rabbit Design Is Being Added To Sonic Superstars – Digital Deluxe Edition

I always loved the original concept for sonic! I feel like this is an Easter egg they should have in all the games going forward! And the other stuff it includes is awesome too!

However my one issues is that it’s digital only, I really wanted to get the game physical ):

The alternate dimension Sonic

The additional content in this game is crazy, they didn't have to go this hard.

Hey it’s Oswal-I mean Sonic the Rabbit.

Question: can I access the Digital Deluxe Edition contents in the physical version?

What I mean by that is, if I get the Digital Deluxe Edition first and then the physical version later on, will the DDE contents still be accessible when playing with the physical version?

Of course the 2 versions would be bought on discounts.

@Ryu_Niiyama Damnit you beat me to it lol. I was going to say something akin to "Rabbit Sonic is to Sonic the Hedgehog as Oswald the Rabbit was to Mickey Mouse". 😆

They need to give us Mr. Needlemouse. I wanna see Sonic in a leather jacket with a Madonna look-a-like as his traveling girlfriend.

Also I know this would never happen, but have him be a chain smoker. Fits the image.

@LikelySatan

I think this game has potential.

Also love the J. Talbain sprite. Darkstalkers for life man. That’s a franchise that needs a revival.

Oh man, same week as Mario. So Mario takes priority but I'll have it cleared and possibly 100%'d within a few days, week at the most. I'll probably get Sonic soon thereafter. Fall is looking great!!

Not gonna lie that's pretty dope.

Not enough for me to get the game but I do love when they acknowledge stuff that was once planned but then canceled or changed in games. Feels a bit 'forbidden', I guess. It's partially why I love beta stuff too.

@OrtadragoonX I'm mostly just being an ass. It's fun to me that they both are still around.

@LikelySatan Shall we commence battle like it's 1991?

@RobTheIII I mean, I was an edgelord Genesis kid, so I guess we could.

They really want us to go digital instead of physical, huh?

@HammerGalladeBro I'd recommend looking up other Sega games with Digital Deluxe editions, and seeing if they sell them as DLC in the eShop or not.

I have a feeling like superstars is going to be a real good one.
But seeing all these extra's it feels they're already compensating for something.
Also the amount of classic "unlockables and secrets" in games decline every year and just become paid dlc which is a pity.

@HammerGalladeBro i can understand you want the physical version. But why would you use that cartridge if you already have the game digital?

But I expect it is the same game and that you can play the physical version with the already claimed digital deluxe edition content.

I better wait for Sonic Superstars Plus next year.

Game looks fun. But I don’t see me paying 70 dollars for the Deluxe Edition which is digital only. And missing on extras in the standard edition is a good reason for me to wait/skip buying the game.

Sold! Padding padding padding padding padding padding padding padding padding padding

I really really really hate modern Sega's insistence that every single release of theirs must have some sort of more expensive "deluxe" bonus edition with useless cosmetic addons.

As a sonic fan, the return of this rabbit design is very cool to see, but I don't want to be coerced into buying a digital version I wasn't planning on getting. So I'm sorry Sega, but this really does make me LESS likely to get the game.

What's with rabbits always getting the spotlight stolen from them? Oswald and now this? We need to bring back Buster Bunny in a proper platformer and show all of these guys what's what.

Or even better. Jazz jack rabbit baby.

@mlt Splatoon also had rabbits at one point before they became squids.

Would love to see Jazz come back!

I hate Sega's recent trend of cutting out content for their "digital deluxe" editions. Sonic Colours was the most egregious to me. Makes it difficult to support them.

Okay, but can we also get a 'Teddy Roosevelt wearing Pyjamas' skin for Eggman?

A mini-OST?

Most of the original games had a flipping sound test menu. What do you need an OST for?

@Ogbert As much as I like the designs of the Inklings I would love to see an alternate future where they stuck with the rabbits.

@LikelySatan Im grabbing Mario first but when I beat Super Mario Bros wonder im definitely picking up this game to.

Once again, more Digital Deluxe editions to scam the hell out of anyone who jumps into the basic edition first.

Hopefully those will be sold separately.

Nothing wrong with deluxe editions but they should be available for people like me that want a physical version. COD is the worst game for it, they want £100 just to let you play as the main characters from the game and it's download only! Its becoming a joke but because they know people will buy it, they get away with it.

That's such a cool thing to do, nice job SEGA
I hope to see this rabbit more often in sonic games

@LikelySatan I know this was just a joke, but honestly Mario is a safer bet of being good, if only mildly lol.

@MooseTinsel Wonder looks fun because I love Mario and my kids are nuts about him. It makes me proud that they aren't perverts asking for Sonic.
....thank god they put that man in prison.

That is honestly a pretty awesome homage to a previous design. It helps get you thinking about how many character designs our favorite video game characters before we get to the final product.

Shame that if cutscenes are in this, you can't toggle the rabbit.

Sanic the Hare.

Not a Lego “sonic”skin, but a LEGO Eggman skin, which comes with both with physical & digital preorders.

It's weird, if the game was just $70 flat and included this content, I wouldn't bat an eye. But knowing that they removed content from the game and now sell it as an extra version makes me feel bad about the purchase.
