Thank you so much for your patience. Hopefully this will be enough to tide you over until the full release of Chapter 1 soon! I hope you enjoy!

I think it’s kinda funny how the longest lasting and broadest spanning piece of the Sonic OVA’s legacy is that Knuckles wears a cowboy hat in it for some reason
This is the sort of thing we get when Sonic Team actually has proper time
Game’s been done since like April, so now they get 6 months to just go in and polish everything up. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come for the next mainline game
Shadow's quills now react to his arms and move accordingly. Not only has quill clipping been defeated, but his skating animation has seen some change, his left arm now goes behind his head and he leans more into each push off. Compare it to the gameplay we had from SGF.
I am very grateful for the Sonic movies for pushing the “Sonic characters’ shoes looking like actual shoes” agenda
I’m fine with how they look most of the time in the games, but then I look at Knuckles and I wonder why they did that to him
Bro how is this even real
Sonic Team really cooked so hard with the Titan fights in Frontiers and realized “wait Sonic characters being badass is awesome actually” and cranked it up even more for Shadow
You guys ever think about how Sonic and Eggman are like, prophesied figures in echidna culture
Like some seer or whatever looked into the future, saw a blue rat and a guy with a mustache beefing, and immediately commissioned the architects to make fanart for him
Over my time on Twitter I’ve realized that the real Sonic Cycle isn’t the about games’ quality, it’s about how the community recycles the same talking points and arguments over and over again and learning nothing from it each time
@VirtualFreeze
Same here. Modern Sonic's design looks so stiff compared to the 2000s versions of his model. Unleashed Sonic was like the perfect middle ground
I think when it comes to Sonic Dream Team, some people really need to learn the difference between an exclusivity deal and distribution rights. They may sound similar on the surface, but they’re actually very different things. (1/?)
I couldn’t believe my eyes when I came across this toy. I expect to see Shadow, maybe Rouge, definitely Sonic & Tails, possibly Knuckles and maybe Eggman. But Crabmeat? Is Princess Sally next?
I might get cooked for saying this and I would probably deserve it but I’m gonna say it anyway.
Kronos Island is unironically one of the best opening areas in any Sonic game imo, even for a series that I think consistently has banger opening stages.
Did Superstars steal their wives and burn their crops or something because I don’t think there’s anything in this game that warrants labeling the entire thing as a mess
I’ve always really loved how the ruins look in Frontiers. They don’t really get talked about a lot when discussing Frontiers’ environments, but I love how angular and fittingly alien they seem.
I think I just love ruins in general actually. They’re always so fun to explore.
Yo! In this thread, I’ll be going over every minute detail of Sonic Frontiers’ combat because I have a problem. Combat is one of the things I’m the most excited for, so I hope that I can shed more light on how it all works for you. This’ll be updated throughout the day.
(1/??)

If she used your video or picture without your permission, you should send a copyright claim. There’s a high chance that even if YouTube doesn’t do anything, Sssniperwolf or one of her editors will edit your clip out of the video
TL;DR
Don’t worry about Dream Team being forever locked to Apple Arcade or it becoming lost media if/when Apple Arcade shuts down. Just make sure to let Sega know you want the game on PC and console, and it should hopefully happen sooner or later!
5 years ago today, on April 30th, 2019, the first trailer for the live-action 'Sonic the Hedgehog' film released online. It received massive amounts of backlash online and offline.
Sonic received a redesign months later, and the film grossed nearly $320 million worldwide.
Sonic fans can and will take this series of TikTok shorts for children very very seriously and will grade it based on lore accuracy and how in character everyone is
Hey remember that time Zippo said the next 2D Sonic game would be modern
Hey remember that time Zippo said Nintendo was making an in-house 3D DK game
Hey remember that time Zippo said Frontiers would only be using stages from Generations
Hey remember that time when
The Mario movie being super faithful to the games in visuals and music and being reference overload is cool
but the Sonic movies being their own thing and reworking the characters and canon for a new audience while still respecting the source material is cool too
The website is up and I thought this was very interesting
Not only do they call the game a collection, but they prioritize mentioning Shadow before Sonic
This is straight up a new Shadow game with Gens as a bonus
Like imagine if, 30 years from now, whenever Sonic Movie 2 is brought up people said “oh yeah the one where Tails has a backpack” and then random pieces of official Sonic media from that point on give Tails the backpack just for funsies
One of my favorite things to see when new Sonic movie stuff comes out is to watch the Stobotnik shippers go feral. They truly never lose and I’m very happy for them
Basically, because Apple likely doesn’t have the distribution rights to Sonic Dream Team, there isn’t much stopping the game from being released on Steam/consoles when the exclusivity deal is over. At that point, it’ll be up to Sega to put in the effort to release it elsewhere.
This isn’t even me agreeing or disagreeing with the post
I’m just so tired of going through this same cycle of “guy says opinion -> community criticizes opinion -> other side of community criticizes community criticizing the opinion -> topic gets dropped after a day”
Okay YouTube, thanks for telling us that the punishment for literally doxxing someone to millions of people is basically a slap on the wrist as long as they make you money. Nice to know that your TOS can be changed on a whim to protect your bottom line.

Confirming SSSniperWolf has received a temporary monetization suspension per Creator Responsibility policies. Off platform actions that put others’ personal safety at risk harm our community & the behavior on both sides isn’t what we want on YT. Hoping everyone helps move this
I think it’s important to remember that, simply due to its scale, Frontiers is naturally going to have a number of more notable bugs and exploits than most mainline Sonics of the last decade
Obv it would be best if it didn’t, but even the best open world games have many of them

Even sadder is that he’s been hardwired and conditioned to think this way. He can’t even fathom the idea of thinking or living for himself and has to be somebody’s sidekick in order to feel like he has an ounce of self worth, and there’s nothing he can do about it.
Since this is starting to gain traction I may as well say that this isn’t a slight against Sonic Team or 3D Sonic at all. I have tons of respect for them and the crap they’ve had to go through over the years. I’m so happy they seem to have a good work environment now.
Not only is today Sonic’s birthday, it’s also the anniversary of the release of Frontiers update 2
Probably one of the most insane nights I’ve ever experienced on Sonic Twitter. Everyone was freaking out about the air speed sliders and how the hell you unlocked the Spindash
For as much as I like Superstars and the Classic formula overall, it is kinda sad that 2D Sonic is really just Classic Sonic now and more unique interpretations and executions of Sonic in 2D probably won’t be a thing for the foreseeable future.
@MandJTV_Michael
Even Scarlet and Violet, despite their technical issues, really reinvent the way the main series games are structured and designed.
This criticism may have worked like 5 years ago, but nowadays it really doesn’t apply
My favorite thing about Sonic Rumble is that in the beta footage Zavok’s name is misspelled on the character select
I hope they keep that. He deserves it
This upcoming trailer for Sonic x Shadow Generations will be very important for showcasing the game’s scope. I’m expecting it to almost fully focus on the new Shadow Generations content, but I hope we get some info on the new features coming to the main game as well.
@UltimaShadowX
Considering that they lock their valuable map data that literally gets transferred directly into your brain behind jump rope and giant hamster wheels, I think the Ancients were just silly goofy like that at all times
We really did get two successful and popular Hollywood movies, an acclaimed comic series, a Netflix show, tons of merch and collaborations, and the highest selling 3D Sonic game of all time just for people to say that Sonic is doomed huh
I will never forgive Sega for 2010.....
The fact that we've fallen so far that people are now arguing against Sonic being himself is just.....
We are so doomed.
@julienforts
Sometimes I think about how that sort writing kinda stopped when Part 9 began, which means that that was a deliberate characterization choice for Josuke specifically
Here’s a minute of the revised Seaside Paradise Act 1, part of which was shown off in the 3 second teaser from a few days ago. Everything is still a work in progress and subject to change, but I hope you enjoy anyway.
A vast majority of Apple Arcade titles are products of exclusivity deals. Apple doesn’t have the distribution rights to many games released on their service, evidenced by several AA games making the jump to Steam/consoles, such as Various Daylife or Shantae and the Seven Sirens.
Update 2 is kinda weird to talk about because it’s so vague that it could be the most interesting update but could also be the least interesting update and both options are equally likely
For real though, as unfortunate as Dream Team being an Apple Arcade exclusive for now is, I’m really happy for Hardlight to have the opportunity to make a big, ambitious Sonic platformer that goes beyond the scope of their previous titles. I’m excited to see their spin on things.
Amy’s Fortune Cards are an interesting bit of lore that even just 2 or 3 years ago was incredibly obscure but is now a central part of the character again, which I think is really cool.
Such a unique and fun little aspect to the character and her history
For example, in North America, Sonic Advance was published by THQ. This means THQ has the distribution rights to Sonic Advance in North America specifically, and is why the Advance trilogy has never been rereleased in NA, but has in Japan and Europe on the Wii U Virtual Console.
@Repiteo
One Piece is a series that can jump between Brook making his 400th skeleton joke (affectionate) and talking about how the government will slaughter and condemn innocent people under the guise of “justice” in order to protect their absolute control and it works every time
The “certain amount of time” part is crucial. While Lost World was made to be a Nintendo exclusive, it was ported to Steam after the exclusivity deal ended. Once the deal is over, the publisher can do whatever they want with the product.
For example, Sonic Lost World is a product of an exclusivity deal between Sega and Nintendo, with Sega providing Nintendo the exclusive rights to sell the game on their systems for a certain amount of time. (3/?)
An exclusivity deal is an agreement between two parties for the exclusive ability to sell a product. The original party still retains the copyright and publishing rights, but allows another party the ability to sell it as they please for a time. (2/?)
