No hard copy release means I just can't get on board. Such a wasted opportunity with the physical collector's edition that includes a code.

Hell, yeah!

Sonic + Tails mode confirmed, and my boy Knux is back. And all of their sprites just simply look GLORIOUS.

just take it, take my life now. I don't need it anymore after this comes out. So many cool twists on classic enemies in less than two minutes of footage already.

I watched a few minutes. Game continues to look good. Interesting that this has a scanline effect now. I wonder if that's optional.

It bugged me that the guy playing is like, "I a big 2D Sonic fan" and then immediately needs to be told that Tails can fly and asks if you can switch characters mid zone.

game looks awsome but that producer and even the dude playing were terrible hosts

There's a "Wanted" poster of the 3 characters from Sonic the Fighters (Fang, Bean and Bark):

It is optional. Default mode is the image quality shown in the announcement trailer.

The new zone looks like fun. Graphics continue to be on point. I wish there was direct footage of it without the green screen overlay and commentary, though.

It continues to look fantastic. I vote SEGA patches out all references to "Sonic 4" out of Sonic 4 and renames this to Sonic 4 instead.

Game continues to look great. Music is on point and I love that they are using the scrapped desert zone concept.

If I'm allowed only one game in 2017 it will be Sonic Mania.

Nintendo Switch turns out to be very interesting, hopefully SM will get a Switch release as well.

What a time to be alive!

Yeah...the way he plays is not someone who is a big fan of 2d sonic games. Didnt seem to know the yellow spring has a max height and kept bouncing to try ans get higher lol.

Eveything else looked amazing. Gonna be using that CRT filter non stop. One thing bugging me is knuckles start up run animation. Its honestly not that different from sonic 3 but the smooth rotation of the arms makes it seem weird.

Is that a scan line filter??

God damn this looks incredible.

Bring it to Switch! I would totally be down to start buying smaller download able titles like this on Switch vs PS4. GET this on Switch!

Shoutout to Bio-Frost in the Sonic Mania announcement thread.

The gameplay is by Kinda Funny Games. Not sure how they got their hands on this before an official announcement by SEGA, but I'm assuming we'll get one soon.

Looks like Desert Dazzle (cancelled Sonic CD zone) gets completed as Mirage Saloon and we get first gameplay of Tails and Knuckles!

To be fair I don't think we know for sure how the cancelled CD stage looked. DD was Taxman re-imagination I think.

But yeah, looking good! I feel like this game is going to do well, is all Sonic 4 needed to be.

The rep starts getting frustrated with him in the Studiopolis section.

Dude is not good at pinball flippers. You have to time them damnit!

That red version of the roller Roller badnik was insanely persistent. Gotta love the little donkey badnik and the Caterkiller that wraps around poles. Love how the bumpers in the air are pinatas and lightbulbs.

Not a big fan of the giant sprites like the popgun and spritz gun.

Is it really that hard to just pay the price of admission, ride the ride, and move on with your day?

Do you not go to the movies, or to amusement parks, or any form of entertainment that involves that doesn't allow you take what you consume with you?
