According to people who were watching the stream live (including Jim Sterling, who presents us with the above), the event in general was... something else. They even ended up playing the trailer for Sonic Mania twice because the audience actually at the event couldn't hear the audio the first time around. |

Yeah I was around for the first half of it and while I like that Mania came out of it, the audio guy should be fucking fired. It's crazy to think that same buzzing was present in the recording for the better part of two hours and somehow nobody on the audio team even noticed. I'd still struggle to say it's worse than that one Konami press conference though, if only because even mindless droning is still preferable to an entire conference of cringeworthy engrish. I'm still a little annoyed at the Project Sonic trailer too, because somehow they're still adamant that two playable Sonics somehow makes more sense than the huge backlog of supporting characters they've stubbornly refused to use. I was really hoping they would follow Mania's lead on that one. |

Alright, gonna see if I can round up everything I didn't link earlier. Apparently Sega saw Ninty rereleasing the NES as a plug and play and decided they wanted in on that again. Spoiler: click to toggle Sonic x Hello Kitty cross promotion. Not gonna lie, they look a lot neater than I would've expected. Classic Sonic in Sonic Dash... do people even still play this? Sonic in Lego Dimensions. We already knew about this, but this trailer shows actual gameplay and the extent of the content that the figurines unlock. I don't think I missed anything else important. |

Is that Sega console actually from Sega, or some Chinese third party? Because if it's the latter, those are actually a dime a dozen. https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_1_12?url=search-alias%3Dvideogames&field-keywords=atgames+genesis&sprefix=atgames+gene%2Cvideogames%2C262 |

I don't think it was ever specified, but somebody pointed out they were under NDA on it until it was shown at the party so take that how you will. |

That console is definitely some crappy Chinese third party thing. I've seen them in stores around these parts for the past two years, at least. |

I thought so. Their claims of having 80 games actually boils down to 40 actual, badly-emulated Genesis games, and another 40 crappy open-domain games like what you might find on the Genesis version of Action 52. |

I mean, unless SEGA comes out and actually does their own thing and makes it look more presentable than the oodles of Chinese knockoffs out there, then that image is all we have to go by and it doesn't really scream official product. |

Small update on Mania from people who played it at Summer of Sonic: apparently there's going to be a retro filter in the game that emulates a CRT picture "complete with scanlines". Cute. Oh yeah and in case it hasn't been said yet: the Drop Dash works by holding down the jump button in the air without a shield, so it essentially replaces the instashield. Eh, I'm fine with this, I always thought the instashield was kinda dumb tbh. Speaking of shields, some of them have been tweaked for Mania - the bubble shield now bounces you in different directions depending on the angle of impact, as opposed to the one in S3&K (which cancelled all of your momentum and bounced straight upward even if you hit a slope, which only ever really made it useful for water breathing). The fire shield, meanwhile, just straight up gives you a homing attack. |

You mean by tapping jump twice, right? That's how I always used the instashield and shield power ups. |

Well, essentially yes, but the distinction is the holding part - as I understand it you have to still be holding the jump button as you touch the ground, otherwise you land normally. |

I'll always had trouble with the instashield. Half the time I would try it on those spiked enemies in Launch Base it wouldn't work. Anyway, I'm excited for Sonic Mania. Just need a PS4... |

Sounds like the shields are going to be interesting this time! More than they were before, anyway. |
