Are we ever going to get a sonic Chronicles 2? Without the touch elements I’d love to see a sequel.

I would have thought that if they're going to do a Direct, that they would have something of substance to present. I didn't think another core 3D game since Frontiers still has DLC coming, nor another core 2D game since they just announced that obviously. But I was thinking, maybe a remaster of a game like Unleashed, or a 2-in-1 Sonic Adventure Collection, or some sort of spinoff game, like another racing game. Instead, it really was, just a whole lot of nothing.

I guess I don't really blame you, but I guess SEGA probably doesn't want to bother with ports/remasters for the time being outside of Origins because... remember, Colors Ultimate happened.

I feel like if we are going to get a spinoff this year, it'll be Mario & Sonic Paris 2024, and that'll likely be announced at the next Nintendo Direct.

You can hear some of the Sonic Superstars soundtrack throughout this trailer and it sounds fantastic!

I like Sonic stuff.

I haven't watched this Sonic Central yet, but I'm willing to bet that Sonic Superstars was the "star" of the show
