I said this in another topic, but this could be one of the best Sonic games ever released. Everything that's been revealed so far has impressed me, from the music (as well as remixes of classic songs), to the sprite work, to the design of the stages (both new as well as re-designed ones). Then they showed off the bonus stages, which look like a nice blending of the ones from Sonic 3 and Sonic CD. As if this wasn't enough, they also decided to do Competition Mode, for that multiplayer goodness (local only not online, unfortunately). Then we have this animated opening.

Seriously, I've yet to see anything considering "bad" about this game so far, just seriously great stuff all-around.

People are uploading it on YouTube. There's like 3 vids right now.

 

[Hockey123]

A direct continuation from the pre order trailer.

It has all come together.

Everything about that was absolutely incredible. Now to avoid everything Sonic Mania until it's officially released.

 

[thiscoldblack]

Great intro. Very excited about this game.

 

[IronicSonic]

Absolutely incredible. Oh my god that tuesday 🙏

 

[theofficefan99]

Looks great. Wonder if the ending has an animated cutscene, too.

 

[MrCunningham]

& then Sega decided to JUST NOW post the intro on Twitter.

Why not? The intro leaked, may as well post it on the official Sonic Twitter.

 

[TheAggroCraig]

Man, they should just release the game digitally now too then...........

 

[RagnarokX]

Why not? The intro leaked, may as well post it on the official Sonic Twitter.

I think the plan was to release it on Monday. Cat's out of the bag anyway and it'd be best if they get the traffic instead of someone else.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Shit like this is why people thought Sonic was cooler than Mario.

Hedgehog saw his shadow early this year. Thankfully, not that "Shadow".

 

[DNAbro]

the little bits of sonic's facial expressions are so good

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Shit like this is why people thought Sonic was cooler than Mario.

You know, I've never really thought of Mario as "cool" outside of certain instances like in Strikers.

 

[mightynine]

I need to buy Sonic Mania.

 

[JoeInky]

It's ridiculous how good everything I've seen of Mania so far looks.

Classic Sonic's design is so good.

 

[Yukinari]

Shit like this is why people thought Sonic was cooler than Mario.

Sonic is more apt to this kind of action especially in SatAM.

Id vastly prefer a show based on genesis sonic than i would classic mario. Like with zones from the games and this animation.

 

[Nintendoga]

Cool intro

 

[Puruzi]

Shit like this is why people thought Sonic was cooler than Mario.

I mean Mario isn't cool. He's a short fat plumber, his games are just really fun

 

[McNum]

Also on the official Sonic the Hedgehog Youtube channel now. In HD.

This looks so good.

 

[Guess Who]

holy shit, there's a glimpse in there of an unannounced zone (

Spoiler

lava reef

). that's a fucking deep cut that is one of my favorite classic sonic zones but i never thought they'd do it. i'm literally fucking crying tbh

I noticed that as well, holy crap. Can it be next week already, dammit.

 

[Sami+]

90's Aesthetic Zone is so perfect lmao. Love it.

God damn I love this game. Sooooooo good

 

[Yukinari]

Ok why does Sega and the fanbase still treat Sonic 3 seperate from S&K?

S&K was a chunk of Sonic 3 cut off and sold seperately stop this shit already. Its like saying an Elder Scrolls expansion isnt part of the game either.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Uh, that intro is seriously the best Sonic-related thing in the past 20+ years, if not ever.

I'm so excited for Tuesday.

 

[ZeroD]

Love the little glance back the robot gives.

Lots of personality in this, can't wait!

 

[ryushe]

I cannot believe I'm excited for a Sonic game.

 

[Ivan 3414]

My only issue with the intro is that they had Tails and Knuckles do basically nothing. It's a problem I've had with most recent Sonic games.

 

[Zonic]

I love the small detail of the bumpers still giving Sonic 10 points like in Casino Night.

 

[MrCunningham]

Yeah, instead of wasting resources on trying to delete every new video that appears on Youtube, they may as well just run with it and and use the intro to advertise the game. But Sega generally has been very good at dealing with things like this online.

 

[rec0ded1]

I've waited so long and weathered so many disappointments for this... *sobs*

 

[ornery]

Absolutely love the music.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

All it's missing is a remix of City Eacape.

 

[HyperHip]

Music is boring but the animation is pretty good.

lol.

Music is aight, I like how bubbly and happy it is but I like Cosmic Eternity and Sonic Boom more personally.

 

[Verder]

that was beautiful

my inner child is crying

 

[MegamanXZero]

Takes me back man!
I also love the music!!

 

[Sir Doom]

Oh hey Saturday Morning Sonic show is back

 

[MiguelMexMIstery]

What an amazing intro

Love how Sonic interacts with Tails and Knuckles respectively at the end

 

[Firecrest]

Dear Jeebus, this perfectly captures everything I loved about '90s Sonic. Such a nostalgia rush.

 

[Arkeband]

That last shot reminded me of Megaman X3's opening's last shot.

 

[Strangelove77]

That's fantastic.

 

[Zubz]

Mariel Cartwright & Tyson Hesse deserve all the work they can get. This intro was beautiful!

The song was serviceable, but was a bit underwhelming.

 

[Evil Monkey DTT]

I don't think I realized I was a sonic fan until this very moment. The series has made me so cynical but this just brought me back. That's the most powerful thing it could do, simply amazing.

 

[MrCunningham]

90's Aesthetic Zone is so perfect lmao. Love it.



God damn I love this game. Sooooooo good

I love how the Pine Pot reference makes its way into the animated intro as well...

 

[deriks]

Don't forget the song by Hyper Potions - Friends

When does this come out?
