1. So I guess we can cut any hope of a Sonic Rush 3DS ever happening? Especially considering the current state. (unless 2017 finally stops the trend of Solo Sonic stories on the level of Colors)

   1. What would that state have to do with it when Sonic Colors DS was pretty much Rush 3? Instead of thinking that has something to do with it look how long it’s been since Dimps touched the series instead.

      1. “Colors DS was pretty much Rush 3”
         Yeah, no. It’s an ok handheld version of Sonic Colors (especially in comparison to the bland Wii version) but it’s not Rush 3. If that’s the case then Unleashed is Rush 3 by that logic.
         And god forbid I want one more handheld Sonic game that isn’t tied to a main console counterpart and just a little bit more of my favorite character instead of “oh hey, here’s more wisps!”

         1. It just so happens to share 90% of Rush’s gameplay design that makes it more of a Rush 3 than Unleashed which was inspired by Rush but heavily deviated from it.
            I’m sorry but it looks like those days are over all you’re going to get on that front are Boom games.

         2. Then it’s going to be one heck of a “Resistance” in Project 2017 if it’s just Sonic and himself spouting lame jokes and making any other character seem dumb and helpless.
            S̶o̶n̶i̶c̶ ̶C̶o̶l̶o̶r̶s̶ ̶w̶a̶s̶ ̶a̶ ̶m̶i̶s̶t̶a̶k̶e̶

   2. There’s a possibility that Sanzaru might have even a third Sonic Boom game, but we’ll see if there’s a sequel to SC and F/I, I have hopes for a third game with possibly Shadow and Zooey playable and maybe unlock more characters/

2. A livestream? Nice! I kinda missed those. I’ll be there!

3. All we want to see is project sonic 2017 will look like on Nintendo switch. And I’m glad SEGA is supporting the console and still partnering Nintendo still. Lets it stays that way.

4. You mean we can finally play a 3D Sonic game on the go?
   …awesome!

   Hope Mania goes to Switch as well.

   1. Sonic Lost World if you liked it or not was a 3D Sonic on the go

5. As long as they don’t do any exclusive titles for Switch only. Spread your titles across multiple platforms if possible. It to me gives people options.
   Exclusiveness I still think hurts IP. Could I be wrong on that? :/

   1. Well that that three game deal did “wonders” for the IP, though in the end it might have been worth it it it helped Mania get greenlite to re-energizethe IP after that trainwreck.

6. I’m not really surprised that SEGA is continuing to support Nintendo. I mean, Project Sonic 2017 was already confirmed to be released on the NX anyway, and even then, I wouldn’t expect SEGA to leave Nintendo since they’ve been in a close relationship, what with Sonic and Bayonetta showing up in Smash, and the Mario and Sonic at the Olympics still being a thing, contract or not. I just hope they don’t try to focus on exclusivity again. All Sonic games really should be multiplatform so everyone can enjoy them. Especially on the PC.

   What I am surprised however is seeing Bethesda, Epic Games and From Software supporting the new Nintendo console. Correct me if I’m wrong, but these companies haven’t released any of their stuff on the latest Nintendo platforms, so it’ll be interesting to see what they got in store. Epic Games is currently busy working on Paragon, so I have to wonder if maybe that’ll be ported to the Switch.

   1. Speaking of everyone, Nintendo should able to enjoy Sonic Mania (as well was the FIRST Generations title) too.

   2. Um…Project 2017 was also confirmed for PC.

      Mania isn’t even going to be on a Nintendo console. It’ll be on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.

   3. From Soft has only ever released two Gamecube games (Lost Kingdoms and Lost Kingdoms 2, both were pretty cool) and Bethesda published some off brand BMW Beetle racing game for Wii, other than that you’re right.

7. Worst kept secret by Nintendo in a long while XD

   The Switch is looking good so far, I think is the right decision for Nintendo, to compete in a league of their own and in the areas where it have always excelled at (handhelds, local social experiences, etc.), though is too son to judge the console, would be nice to know more specs of it not to mention the kind of games all those developers plan to release in the console (hoping they are not just ports or casual games).

   As for Sonic I’m glad that its going multi-platform without necessarily neglecting Nintendo, really hope it stays that way, if anything maybe a Nintendo exclusive DLC would be good to see like the Zelda themed DLC for Lost World, other than that I’m hoping Sonic keeps running on all directions.

   1. I don’t mind ports (so long they games that weren’t available on a Nintendo console). Klonoa 2: Lunatea’s Veil, NiGHTS into Dreams HD, Sonic Championship HD, Street Fighter III (all 3 titles), Ultra Street Fighter IV, J-Stars Vs., Unravel, Cuphead, Fez (even though Phil Fish is a jerk), Power Stone 1 & 2, Sonic Generations (Console), Sonic 4: Episode II, Ratchet & Clank (2016), 3D Dot Heroes, and Undertale, just to name a few.

      1. Nice list! I agree with you, maybe I was too vague but what I really mean is that I hope third party publishers release their current gen games on Nintendo as well (with the necessary tweaks to be run in the Switch) and not only ports of past games like Skyrim, pretty much like what Nintendo will do with Sonic 2017.

      2. No way Ratchet and Clank is going to appear on nintendo console, it’s a sony owned property.

         1. As if Sony even cares about their IPs. Remember Crash, Spyro, Tomba, and Ape Escape?

8. And If Insomniac Games does a Sonic Boom game, If Insomniac Games were to develop a Sonic Boom game for the Switch, they probably would not rush and would be a lot better than Rise of Lyric.

9. Off-topic: It looks like a good deal of the Internet, including Amazon, eBay, Político and Twitter, is down or having major issues today. Personally, I have never seen anything quite like it on this scale. This is the worst cyber warfare I can remember. Who do you think is behind it all?

10. im very interested in the switch looks really cool far as we know sonic mania will not come to the switch which is a curiosity to me but who knows as for the developers supporting it I definitely knew sega was one cause of their close partnership and we already knew about sonic 2017 coming to it but seeing ones like epic games and bethseda making games for it has piqued my interest even more I just hope they don’t drop support for the switch like they did for the wii u
