Sonic Superstars - Announcement Trailer - Nintendo Switch 

Does this mean that Sonic and Mario are no longer rivals?

Technically it happened before… But we don’t talk about it…

​@@melchior2678 That was a LONG time ago. But these times are behind them now.

@@melchior2678 they made peace back in Beijing 2008

@@melchior2678 That's since 2001, where were you locked all this time?

Yeah, this looks miles better than Lost World and Forces overly cartoony artstyle.

I can't wait for sonic lost world to be on the switch soon and super mario 3D world bowsers fury get dlc

Also, i think Classic Sonic actually has a new model, seemed different enough. Seems they won't recycle so much stuff in this one and I'm glad it's that way

​@@tk32502 Also, make it a buggy and seizure inducing remake like Colors.

They never forgot it's just that they treat Sonic like Mario but they are not as good as Nintendo at doing that. What I mean by that is almost all Sonic games have some sort of innovation. They took Nintendo's mantra of only release a game if there is Innovation and ran with it. They just aren't as good as Nintendo are at maintaining the feel of the series while innovating. All 3D Mario games have a through line but also their own personality. Same goes for "Super Mario Bros", "new Super Mario Bros" "Super Mario Land" etc etc. Team Sonic just weren't as good. That's not to say they didn't have moments because they had moments where they were releasing and are releasing absolutely amazing experiences, but they dropped the ball more than they succeeded. It has been great that Team Sonic has decided to try and make their 2D experience more familiar, but innovating with their 3D games. Frontiers was great, Forces, not so much. Forces could have been really good though, potential was there. Team Sonic didn't forget they just thought it was more viable to try to get Sonic to break that ceiling again, like he did in the 90s. Sure new experiences are fun but you know what's better? Going home and relaxing in familiar surroundings

Less NSMB, more Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze.

Add a hint of Kirby: Triple Deluxe (& Planet Robobot) to that mix as well, since there seems to be some multi-layered level design throughout (like between the background and foreground). I found that pretty amusing... and neat!

@@zaryalace7475 More Sonic 4

​@@zaryalace7475 Definitely not, dktf's quality far supraasses this.

@@aydenrozzelle7691 never said one was better than another.

At 0:48 it showed Knuckles with his traditional wall climbing and Tails flying. Yeah, character choice alters gameplay. Who you pick to play alters the path you take. Almost always been the way of the side scrolling Sonic games.

It looks like it’s the same ga,splay style from sonic advance 1

I’m super glad Classic Amy aka Rosy the Rascal is getting more love considering her only appearance in a main classic game was Sonic CD where she basically just got kidnapped it’s nice seeing her part of the group now fighting along side them also I find Classic Amy to be way more likable than modern Amy she’s so cute!

I personally like this version of Amy, I can't wait to see Ray and Mighty make a return as well. I don't like DLC but if they can do it in a subtle way like they did in Sonic Mania Plus It's good. Personally I don't see how they could implement Ray the Squirell in a Multiplayer co-op setting. I do however see that Mighty the Badger could make sense as a playable character though, perhaps with other characters from the Sega Genesis era of Sonic. ​ @Doodle1678 Amy was also in Sonic 3D I thought, though only as an NPC.

Øp0p

I love that they're doing more with the chaos emeralds in Sonic games than just God Mode. First Frontiers and now this. I can't wait to see what they come up with next.

@@mr.awesome6011 Same here!

Tails adventure had tails use the chaos emeralds individually. Glad to see this mechanic return.

wait where did you see that?

@@apersoniguess_ I saw it on the website for this game.

Um actually he's real name is actually knack the weasel🤓🤓

​@@marissac.chavez2250 ..... His name changes depending on the country

​@@marissac.chavez2250 It's Fang for the normal people and Knack for the stupid country next to Canada

@@marissac.chavez2250 He was known as Nack the Weasel in the North American and European releases of Sonic Triple Trouble, but reverted to the name Fang in all later games. But in the comics he really is called Nack.

@@marissac.chavez2250 correction: Nack is his US name

Wasn’t expecting to see you here!

Oh hello

How much more EXP until you Level UP again, Level UP?

For me too. My son screamed at me to buy it for his birthday in July . I told him it's likely in November for release. We both beat Sonic Mania in February. He got the Switch for Christmas. He didn't like how Sonic Frontiers looked. He said it looks " boring". I skipped it.

What up level up!

They've been relying on nostalgia for the past 10 or so years. What exactly do you miss about this artstyle?

@@LukeMM95 Im curious as well I mean they used the sonic from sonic generations they pretty much did Sonic ( modern sonic) but removed modern and put classic and hoping this does good.

@@LukeMM95 Artstyle

@@burhan.k.r.n1164 Mania and Forces aren't even 6 years old yet. How can you miss something that never went away?

@@LukeMM95 they’ve been relying on nostalgia from repeated uses of the Green Hill Zone and such, but always with modern Sonic, save for Sonic Mania and Sonic Generations. The thing that I really like about the 90’s art style is that the more simplistic design actually makes the Sonic universe feel more colorful and enjoyable. It really harkens back to the day when you had gorgeous, colorful backgrounds and Sonic and Tails cruising through stages. The more simple design could tap into the edgy nature when needed, and not as the base. That’s what’s so refreshing, speaking as someone who was around before Sonic the Hedgehog was even a thing.

Some pro-Sonic longboi Sega exec has been holding on for such a long time. Gotta at least give him credit for his determination.

Kinda like how he was in the originals

Yeah he’s super awesome like that

I hope that the game will be really cool 🤞🔵

It will

As a HUGE sonic fan, I can't wait to die

@@fatfuckinNAAIER …

As someone who's never really been into Sonic, this looks great ???

Santiago is from another timeline

@@gemeosnosgames Ah yes, the timeline that doesn't exist

​@@gemeosnosgames I forgot that name for mania Sonic was a thing... It's just as hilarious as I first heard of it...

@@Solesteam That was a thing?

@@Grag235 Santiago is essentially Classic sonic: but with modern Sonic's jank script reliant physics.

Real, Sonic mania had that perfect blend. Not too sure about this new 3D look, since we had a more Superior art style from Mania. But maybe this will grow on me

Enhanced classic art style is a good way to describe Mania. Although these graphics look from the 360 era lol. I hope they made it look better

@@alexsilva28 that's a great way to describe Mania's art style

I just couldn’t vibe with Mania. Absolutely loved Origins but Mania just didn’t hit for me :(

@@LRM5195 man thats a shame mania is easily the best 2d sonic ever released, and probably the best sonic game ever if you prefer 2d

This is literally what New Super Mario Bros was when it first released on DS.

@@LukeMM95 ok so im not the only person.

@@LukeMM95 true lol

No we need a multiplayer 3d platformer Mario game like Mario Odyssey/Galaxy

We don't need a New New Super Mario Bros.

I'm honestly tired of seeing so much more Classic then Modern but yeah, even I have to agree it's very pretty.

@@soch144 Yeah, I agree with you. Sonic: Superstars is definitely really pretty, all things considered, but I'm tired of Classic Sonic too. Mania, Origins and now this. Almost feels like Classic Sonic is getting more games than Modern Sonic.

Actually, I'm a big fan of both of Classic Sonic and modern Sonic.

@@CheyenneG99Didn’t we JUST get frontiers? A bit to soon to be asking for another 3D game. This seems more like a filler

@@feelsbadman112 Well, we did just get Origins last year too and we're getting Origins Plus as well as this. Feels like Sega has a Classic Sonic bias.

Honestly with the slight focus on Fang/Nack, it makes me wonder if he's involved with the game's story?

​@@oliviastevens9156hes confirmed to be one of the main villains alongside eggman

​@@lemon5000-tj6nvHe probably has some role because im the start you can see hime hide behind a tree in Emerald Hill.

They should give characters people care about spotlight instead of some no-names

@@leonishikino6873 Wow, someone seems to not give a darn for obscure characters making a comeback.

Me too I can’t wait🤩

Me and my son.He got Sonic Mania last Christmas and Super Mario bros Deluxe. He loves both. He thought Sonic Frontiers was boring so I didn't buy it.

Tell me about it!!! 🤩🤩🤩

What a time to be alive!

I was hyped for Frontiers also but this one I'm excited a little more..

Yea it's actually been awhile since we haven't seen Fang (an old forgotten character) in a new sonic game. Now I'm curious to see how he looks in 3D style.

It looks like Return to Dreamland to me

I have request....GIVE ME THE DEBUG CHEAT CODE...I love that at start screen in Sonic Mania. 😅😅😅.Me and my son love 2D Platform Sonic.

New Super Mario Bros. doesn't have a multiplayer campaign.

​@@607 they're probably talking about New Super Mario Bros. Wii

​@Entropy Will Destroy Us All what brain cells?

​@@TrovaoSmasher That's possible, but I think it's more likely they're talking about the entire New Super Mario Bros. series _except_ for New Super Mario Bros. After all, New Super Mario Bros. U and New Super Mario Bros. 2 have multiplayer coop too.

Mania was epic

Sonic should have never left the 2D world!!! And yes, I was saying the same thing to when I was watching the trailer

Well they got rid of the ppl who did Mania so hopefully they learned from them

@@ma.2089you mean they couldn’t agree on terms so went separate ways.

@@matthewfeatherston8982 Sonic would've been long dead if they didn't make the evoulution. It was necessary.

I know right I was mentioning to the girl I wish they did a Sonic in a Mario U deluxe style and here it is!! They should have saved Sonic frontiers for the next 4K Nintendo switch system.

It never does

i can tell by the gameplay and feel of it. it plays like sonic gen and sonic heroes.

@@darrendyson8347 this looks infinitely better than mario U... that game was so bland

Who or whatever

⁠@@MariaLopez-ti4oohe talking about the purple guy on the left side that’s closest to the tree that’s off screen.

They did already it's called sonic frontiers

This isnt modern Sonic. This is the classic style, but still looks good

I know what to call it! “Modern Classic Sonic” there’s a ring to it :3

I do wish he looked a bit "cooler" like in the genesis days though. Just watch the sonic CD cutscenes and even though he's cute, sonic has a sharp confidence that makes him appealing. Sonic feels more like mickey mouse in this game. Still, at least the game seems to play just as well as the classics

@@blinkyy4594 meh that game was good but it’s nothing special

It looks that way. Lots of retro and new charm.

i dont want to jump to conclusions but IT LOOKS REALLY GOOD

i wonder if this is gonna get put on r/agedlikemilk... i hope not

@@samusx2175Fr this is so beautiful !!

I just want it to feel/control like Mania. My biggest criticism of Sonic Team's recent Sonic games is that Sonic doesn't control as consistently as he used to.

Have you been in a comma since 2001?

​@@andrewtuell1991 lmfao

@@andrewtuell1991 Naw our boi been living in a cave secluded from the rest of us and been only playing sonic and kunckles lol

@Andrew Tuell Are you having your period now?

Let’s hope the music is at least half as good as Sonic 2´s soundtrack

Because they probably would've fked it up big time, Sonic 4 was a mess, Classic gameplay in Generations/Forces felt more like an afterthought or a gimmick more than anything and the 2000s had dimps making the Advance/Rush series non-stop, also Rivals went unnoticed by most Simply put, there wasn't any room for something like this before, specially without Mania sparking interest once again in 2D sonic, had they attempted it anywhere near the past 20 years it would end up as just another Sonic 4, but it has been long enough that they can use nostalgia to their advantage as much as they please, at least they're making a proper comeback with this one

sonic 4 was basically this

They actually did try this before with Sonic 4, a game that was supposed to be a direct sequel to the OG classic trilogy. Thing is, it...wasn't very good.

It looks nothing like a modern version of the classic games. Also looks pretty cheap. Seems like they straight up copy-pasta'd the classic games physics, but at least that's far better than the jank controls we got in Sonic 4 and the 2D sections of Colours, Generations, etc.

Pretty cheap? Nothing about it looks cheap. If it was cheap No effort would’ve been put into making the gameplay engaging and fun.

Yeah

I agree.

@@Aiden-xr1seSame here.

What I’m particularly excited for is that the chaos emeralds *actually* have a reason to exist besides collecting 7 of them to turn super.

@@MrChipathenIsMyDoggo multiplayer

Absolutely!

Its should but it's too late for that.

I thought Sonic Mania was the true Sonic 4 but I guess that's just me.

Your pfp 💀💀

@@Kim-py3iv no, Sonic mania is different than Sonic the Hedgehog 4 episode 1 and 2.

Is Sonic Team making this?

@@Shrock568 Yeah, they're the main ones who developed Sonic games

@@tailsfan10 I’m just saying there are some Sonic games that weren’t made by Sonic Team (Sonic Mania and Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog for a few examples). And this trailer never specified who was making this game.

@@Shrock568 That is very true. But either way, this game looks great

@@Shrock568 Update: If you've been looking at the recent news, the Sonic Team logo is in the game demo. They're definitely involved with the game

I wish classic sonic stayed dead. Modern is way better.

I would really love it if they just kept doing more of this alongside the 3D games. Then everyone's happy.

@@mmert138 lol modern sonic wouldn't have existed if it weren't for classic.

​​​@@TokyoACR true, but franchises evolve and people end up wanting different iterations of the same character, but you know what? That's ok. Right now both versions of sonic are getting new games, so we'll all end up having what we want ✌️

@@TokyoACR Very true, it’s just that jump to 3-D back then split the fanbase, so I can see why some people get worked up (…some more civil than others). Although with this at least, we get a nice 2-D game to please them too after the awesome adventure that was Frontiers :)

They never left.

@@cristianovogt5586 Frontiers and Forces were very different from the usual

What abt mania and origins.

​@@lethalsword628Heh, exactly! It seems like the original poster/commenter is trying to interpret Sonic Superstars as a flagship/mainline game, when it really is supposed to be a supplementary experience to the 3D games.

I don't think anyone really considered Sonic 4 to be actually Sonic 4. The music was so bad. This one looks like the real sonic 4. Unless you're calling this 5 because you think of Sonic Mania as Sonic 4 which would make more sense since that was actually good.

@@Vaquix000 ?? Sonic mania was Sonic 4, friend.

@@FutureRevolut10narybut there is a real Sonic 4 Episodes 1 and 2

@@TigasFMS ...That's the joke.

Maybe they will bring Bark and Bean back as well

WHY IS NO ONE ELSE MENTIONING THE FACT THEY'RE BRINGING FANG BACK BESIDES YOU? AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WTF

After mania bringing back Mighty and Ray, it seems Sega is actually acknowledging the other mobians

​@@SpeedDemonAJThey also mentioned Tangle and Sticks in frontiers, so maybe we might see more mobians soon??

Apparently they also got naoto ohshima back to design an entirely new character for the game… can’t wait to see what it looks like

Fancy seeing you here! :]

:D

:D

:D

Who

@@MariaLopez-ti4oo do you not know who Fang is

@@Just_Ants no

@@MariaLopez-ti4oo honestly it's an obscure character. It's that purple animal that appears in the Game Gear game Sonic Triple Trouble. He appears near the end of the video in his mobile

Holy shiii it's the guy who made The Jar

Let's just hope it doesn't play like Sonic Generations.

Isn't Sonic Mania technically already a Sonic 4 or...?

No, just no.

Whatever happened to Sonic Advance?

yea it will be cool

I mean, those three didn’t debut until after the classic era.

My thoughts on whether they should appear: Blaze would be too out of place in a Classic game with Sonic. However, a Classic style Blaze the Cat game with Eggman Nega as the main antagonist and levels entirely in the Sol Dimension could be interesting to see (or a DLC or bonus mode that's an entirely separate story from the main game maybe aside from some Easter Egg stuff). As for Rouge, I don't think we ever saw her really being "introduced" in Sonic Adventure 2, she and Knuckles seemed to already have a rivalry going on so perhaps it's plausible that Rouge already knew Knuckles and the others during the Classic era. As for Cream, I would say she might be too young for a Classic game, but then again we've had Classic Charmy (although that was before Sega established that he was a little kid). Still, as you said, it's unlikely for any of them to appear, but yeah, it would be cool to see Classic forms of those characters.

That was Amy? Why does she look like the sonic equivalent of Ms. Pac Man?

@@ASpaceOstrich this was her original design back in Sonic CD. They basically wanted to make a female hedgehog back then so I guess they went with the normal look for a hedgehog (spines on the back, dressed with a skirt and pink color because she's female) and eventually she was modernized.

when have they not made consistent sonic content lmao there is a never ending amount of sonic games

​@@kayden2119 you do know the series slowed down it's releases in the 2010s right? In the 2000s there was a game or 2 every single year, that stopped for awhile

@@Supersonicspyro god sonic fans have no idea how games work. You realize having that many games a year is in fact not normal right? Having one games every few years IS consistent. You are spoiled and you do not even realize it lmao

​@@kayden2119 2006-2017.

​@@Supersonicspyro it not had been slowed down, every sonic games are cool.

Except this one is a 2.5D Platformer.

Yep💀

Sonic thinks he's him 😂

Yeah Indeed

Except this Is better

Better short and amazing, rather than long and boring.

@@DaryleSpillercongrats to you

Just because it doesn't feature a taller hedgehog with green eyes doesn't mean it doesn't have modern influences to it, i.e. rail grinding

​@@Einfabio 06 was cool. Not great but a cool story and levels

​@VolcanoHarryI do too

@Lisek Tod yes

People actually like sonic 4?

They already tried it with "Sonic 4," and it still sucked.

@@Compucles yeah but this is different, it’s almost like mania 2 in a sense

Sonic 4 shoulda beeen this

@@chrxme_342 Why do you think that when we can't really tell what the gameplay will be like yet? "Sonic Mania" was actually developed by Sonic fans rather than the usual groups of developers, and I doubt they're doing that again. If it's Sonic Team making this, the gameplay could easily be just as bad as in "Sonic 4."

​@@Compucles sonic team didn't make 4 Dimps did

It's clearly the real Sonic 4 doe

Looks absolutely nothing like sonic mania or a possible sonic mania 2 lol …. Sonic mania 2 is what they should have made

Like in TMNT shredder’s revenge

Same, it'd be cool to get the Adventure (and beyond) characters in the Classic style... without needing modders to fill that gap. Heck, I'd be fine if they were just skins, you could totally have Shadow and Cream play like Sonic and Tails respectively.
