Scoop: The New 2D Sonic Game Is Alive And Well.



Hey everyone, last scoop from me for awhile.

Remember in my very first article how I talked about a new 2D Sonic game was in development, and then things went completely silent on my end? 

Well, I started to hear things about it again reently, and you'll be happy to know that the project is alive and well. 


Here's a few more details about it:

-Believe it or not, it's actually being developed by Sonic Team, with little to no outside involvement. 

-This is the first time they will be developing a 2D Sonic game in nearly 30 years. 

-It's being billed as a follow-up to the Sonic Advance and Rush series, in the same way Mania was a follow-up to the classic series.

-Sonic, Tails and Knuckles are playable. This is the first time Tails and Knuckles will be fully playable in a modern focused 2D game since 2004's Sonic Advance 3. It's been a very long time, folks.

-I'm unsure of the release timing at this moment, but given that SEGA has recently doubled down on Sonic Frontiers releasing this holiday, it's safe to assume that this will be a 2023 game. 


That's all from me today on this front. Whenever I hear more, I'll be sure to let you guys know.

    Just only hope the game is fully 2D and not 2.5D

    Hey Zippo! You said a loooong time ago that the new Sonic game (now Sonic Frontiers) would have multiple playable characters, is that still true or has that been cut?

    What art style are they going for?
    Sprites? Like Mania and Advance Series?

    Or 3D models on 2D Levels like Rush?

    Or are they going 3D like Sonic 4

    Or 2.5D like a whole game of Classic Side of Sonic Generations / Forces?

    It'll be interesting to see this new Sonic Team pull off both a reinvention of the 3D games and a brand new 2D game. I want fresh and interesting ideas made with passion. I think the last Sonic game that felt ambitious was Sonic Unleashed.

    Since the rumors about the 2D game are spreading again...Would you tell us something more about it? You said it was developed by Sonic Team with no external involvement...what does this mean exactly? Sonic Studio USA is considered internal o external? I ask this since you said Frontiers was supposed to be created there in concept. Personally I felt Sonic Studio did a terrible job with Frontiers (June 2022 was horrible omg) so I'm a little concerned about it.

The Next 3D Mario Is Ready To Go.

Image
  2024 is here, and after an insanely long six years of waiting, I'm now hearing that the next 3D Mario, set to launch with Nintendo's brand spankin' new console, was finished over the holiday season. This is standard Nintendo practice, many of their big games are done well before release. As was said before, this is EPD Tokyo's first full attempt at an open world game, and the game is said to look " Absolutely jaw-dropping". I can confirm a few other new things as well: Donkey Kong will appear in the game in some form. I'm unsure if he's playable, a boss, or an extended cameo of some sort. Given how Mario and DK have appeared as a pair in pretty much everything as of late, which includes the movie, LEGO sets, a remake of Mario Vs. DK, and now in theme park promotions, it only makes sense to continue that trend.  Luigi, Peach, Captain Toad and Pauline will all appear as well, though I'm unsure what roles they'll play in the game.  The other, mu

Nintendo Direct Watch Season Begins NOW.

We're starting 2024 with a bang. Didn't expect that, did ya?  Yup, I'm hearing from the usual sources that Nintendo is planning a Direct to air this very month. It could air from this coming week, to the end of the month.  Expect this to be "cleanup" for the Switch. Nintendo has been pretty silent since September, so expect more details on Paper Mario, Peach Showtime and a few other things. There's still a few surprises left in this old thing.  They have an obviously insane   of them, so it's smart to get Switch stuff out of the way earlier than usual this year.  Stay tuned here for more.

Friendly Reminder That A New Star Fox Game Is Coming.

Image
Hey, remember how I said in 2022 that a new Star Fox game is in development? I have an update. But first, here's some interesting findings.  Code for this new Star Fox appears to have been in Switch Sports this entire time, it's gone widely unreported on for some reason.  Next, a trademark was filed for Star Fox last month, on December 19th, in Brazil, of all places: Finally:  Star Fox was given an entirely brand new trademark last November as well. Why is this interesting? Because it's a new trademark, it's not Nintendo renewing it or anything like that, which is what they usually do in these situations.  Credits for these findings go to Mondomega, Necrolipe, and Brian/bpijr.  As for my own information, here's a few new details. -It's actually being developed internally. This is the first time Nintendo has taken the reigns of development since 1997's Star Fox 64 . -It apparently is a sequel to a previous Star Fox game. Not a reboot.  -Online multiplayer wi
