My…my…my body is ready !
Finally some news!! Can’t wait for it, here are my predictions about the reveals:
-Sonic Mania release date and new stages shown.
-Sonic Project 2017 final title reveal + information about gameplay or new playable character.
-Sonic Movie release date and brief synopsis.
That’s what I was hoping for my friend.
Well, Project Sonic 2017 is going to have both a new character and a new gameploy component. So hopefully they show off both.
Ooh, an hour-long panel? That’s a lot of time to show a lot of stuff!
I swear, if the new reveal for Project 2017 is just the game’s title.
could be interesting.
Looking forward to this. Keep on running Hedgehog.
Finally some news on this. I can’t handle this dry spell it’s been so long since we’ve got any big news on these games. Which I’m excited for cause if sega and sonic team are being careful for not leaking or spilling any news this has to be good.
Hope you’re all ready for create a character.
Such excitement, much hype. This is the dream time of Sonic people right here…minus one beloved Yuji Naka. Can’t wait to see what will wreck my wallet this year. X)
To me that ‘Gotta Go Fast’ title would have been a really cool ref to 4Kids Sonic X around 05-09, but now it is just a stupid meme sadly.
After some math, the panel will be at 9:00am on Friday the 17th of March for Aussies, in case any of you guys are Aussie 😛
YOU BEAUTY M8! Thanks! I hope there’s a live stream for it
