Sonic Mania

yeah this game is now in “don’t look at any more preview material before playing it” territory

at first i felt the opposite about the inclusion of the elemental shields and knuckles, but eventually decided that it is a Good Thing that they are basically making the true sonic 4 by basically picking up where S3&K left off wrt increasing layers of gimmicks and random cruft

if there’s not a 4th playable character and a few dozen more random items i’ll be disappointed

that music is hot.

the long-lost missing fourth mix of “Mojo” from AOF3

ATTN: Sleazy

They pretty much let the guy who runs the twitter, write a game within a game.

Also it’s been 20 years Travelers Tales last did a Sonic game and did still a better Sonic than Sonic Team

It’s all super neat! There are so many cool details

That “Marge Be Not Proud” reference for Bart is next level though

All the weird slightly fake versions of the Genesis songs in Lego Dimensions are like something from a sketch comedy show trying to be legally distinct though lol

a working animator posted this (the bad guy has a design similar to this games sub-bosses) then deleted it real quick so maybe sonic cd style anime cutscenes are in?
