1. Yeah, I will get the Switch but it does look like a really cool system but I doubt I’m going to get 2017 for it. Already plan on getting the Steam and PS4 version.

   But man, it’s almost the end of the year. What a crazy year it has been for Sonic but even though it isn’t the most exciting year for the series, there’s definitely a lot to talk about. Alteast moreso than last year.

   Like the many panels and celebrations for the 25th Anniversary, the party that announces TWO major Sonic games. Fire & Ice is a notable improvement, which helped gained some sort of trust towards the Boom name. Season 2 of Boom is a great improvement from Season 1 so far. And the Lego Dimensions Sonic Pack is such an unexpected surprise and it turns out to be the best celebratory Sonic game we’ve ever had! And let’s not forget how much merch has been made during the year as well, from art books to shirts to plushes and so much more.

   2017 is going to be a good time, with more Boom, Mania and whatever title 2017 is going to be called.

   1. I don’t know about you but, I think the switch version will have a new gameplay component and also the game will have a new character. besides I’m looking forward for the game as much then anyone else. plus the old school fans will get in project sonic 2017. besides Sonic Mania could help repair the series’s poor reputation with more recent releases.

      1. Do Nintendo versions of multiplat games generally have their own characters and new gameplay components?

         1. Yes. And no. Unleashed would be the only example that would shed many differences. With entirely new level design and different controls. (Take note that this version was built from the PS2 version of unleashed) Other than that, I can’t think of anything else.

2. I’m not sure how the Nintendo Switch reveal was supposed to change my outlook on Sonic 2017. I mean, I’ll probably buy it for the Switch instead of PC now, but I don’t think it’ll be any different because one of its launch platforms happens to be a handheld with the power of a console.
   On a related note, Sonic fans should stay tuned in January for the full Switch reveal. I think there’s a chance that we might get a glimpse of Sonic 2017, and hopefully a Switch port of Sonic Mania will be announced there too.

   As for Sonic’s 2016, it was good. You have to admit that at the very least it was better than Sonic’s 2014 and 2015.

   1. I’m thinking we’ll just get only Sonic Mania footage at the presentation. I’m still standing by that Sega probably wants to keep all focus on Mania until it’s released, and then shift more focus onto Project 2017

3. I’ve been reminded of sonic’s history when a new Nintendo console comes out (‘did you know gaming’ videos). When sonic 2006 came out they realised the system was too weak for the game and thus the team was split in order to develop Secret Rings for the wii.
   The situation happened again when Big Red Button had to abandon the Cryengine when it couldn’t work on the wiiU.

   perhaps I’m being paranoid but I dread something similar happening with the Switch.

   1. The difference this time is that the Switch is a lot easier to develop for than the Wii and Wii U. Based on what current developers have said about the Switch, there shouldn’t be any problem porting Sonic 2017 to it.

4. It’s still going to launch on traditional consoles (PS4 and XBO) as well. I don’t see them being able to swamp it with-Switch specific gimmicks.

5. I was going to get both P17 and the Switch, now that’ll be a package deal, that’s all that’s changed.

6. well sonic has a good 2016 almost but some people started to hate sonic boom less then ever. the TV series is going well but the game, no. it was a completed disaster I’ll tell you what. you know if SEGA can manage to make sonic perfect again then sonic will be still good in Nintendo console.

   also project 2017 does change my outlook in the game. I wonder if theres gonna be more news and trailers about Both Mania and Project 2017 at the Nintendo Switch event in January. my thoughts are hoping for that.

   1. Probably won’t get news on Sonic Mania at the Switch event, but maybe a name reveal and a small info dump on Project 2017.

7. Sonic would have had a good year if Fire and Ice sold well and if the Boom TV show was still doing amazingly. I voted undecided just because we had that awesome party where the two next Sonic games were announced and we got a pretty fun mini Lego Sonic game. In that regard, it was awesome, but how the Boom franchise did this year is just a big let down. Sure Fire and Ice got decent reviews, but that doesn’t really mean anything when SEGA likely lost money on it.

   Either way, next year is likely going to be one of the best, if not, THE best year for Sonic the Hedgehog ever with both Sonic Mania, a game that looks like perfection in every single way, and basically a new and improved Sonic Generations, which is my personal favorite Sonic game. Things are looking bright for our favorite blue hedgehog.

8. Next year will be great with Project 2017 and Mania. This year? For me, aside from the announced games for the future, nothing significant really happened. i haven’t touched anything Sonic since Generations. Can’t wait for Mania

9. who cares…sega already disappointed already…i am more excited with news with capcom and Retro with continue developing games like new metroid fps and mega man fan-base now optimistic what megaman series is it when announce a ps4xonepc release…hopefully is something continue from ZX series in graphical improvement since i am sure not want another X series game..like X9..because i am bored same dialogs and story..give me something new story about along the lines ZX story that is connected to legends timeline..how did the earth got flooded with ruins of ancient past..because this become more like metroid game with more interesting clues from past world
