M. Bison: YES!!!!!!!

itsme02

Think of the Amiibos they will make for this game…

Lordtomo

if they make the full cast of sonic and his crew i’d absolutely lose it in enjoyment haha

itsme02

New characters (so far): Nabbit, Jet, Rouge, Zazz, Diddy Kong

Johnny2071

Why would one Zeti be singled out?

TheHumbleFellow

Maybe because Zazz is the most popular?

Let’s face it.He did leave the biggest impression out of the Six.

Johnny2071

And Zavok didn’t?

kamifox1

We don’t know that’s the only one yet, it’s just what was shown in the trailer so calm down, jeez!

Rad Dudesman

Zazz stands out because he’s crazy.

Jo Reven

Who?

Rad Dudesman

They did it in Sonic Dash.

They were all bosses during the Lost World promotional event, but once it ended, they kept Zazz and got rid of the rest.

Hero

I don’t recall Zavok and the rest of the Six ever being in Dash in any form other than Zazz. Are you sure you’re not mistaken? :/

Sonicguy726

Espio too at 0:40, he has a flag

Rad Dudesman

Looks closer. That’s Rouge’s flag, not Espio’s.

Raza

I hope they bring rosalina into it!

Joe

Am I the only one who wants a really sonic game by now?

Johnny2071

It’s better than Boom. Right now, Nintendo is maintaining whatever health Sonic has left.

dantemustdie00

ANYTHING is better than boom, shoot I’ll take it.

Matt kugelman

I think the show and the comics are better than boom

Setnaro X

You are aware these Olympic games are made by SEGA, right?

Hero

Lol, how quickly everyone forgets when that Nintendo logo is there. XD

Joe

Of course I know this is made by SEGA, but aren’t you tired of the spin-offs?

kamifox1

No, you’re not, trust me.

Joe

Glad someone agrees lol, its hard to get excited for the olympic game series in my opinion.

Kabam!

“who wants a really sonic game”
Bad grammar is bad.

Joe

Lol – I was not paying attention to what I was typing; bite me 😛

Jamie Gibson

Judging by Zazz’s appearance I may have a hunch that the rest of the Deadly Six will be playable and possibly the Koopalings. I was also hoping for Rosalina to be playable aswell and probably Espio to balance things out.

Sonicguy726

Espio is playable, he has a flag at 0:40

Hero

Someone already confirmed that was Rouge’s flag, not Espio’s.

yellowstar

i knew it was coming but now its on the way – another thing to look forward to buying.
Also – i think the title render is the best in the series so far. They look very competitive this time.

Kabam!

Agreed. 😉

Hero

Ditto. X3

Everyone else at TSSZ News seems to be hating on it tho, kind of a bummer. :/

Kabam!

I know what you mean.

Michael

Let’s be honest though, is anyone surprised?

Kabam!

I am.

f-sonic

well hey even if it isn’t a sonic game it’s nice to see sonic looking like his badass self again.

Johnny2071

Amen to that!

My only sight pet peeve is that they would load up on Zeti rather than bring back Mighty, Fang, Bark, Bean, etc. But if it’s only to parallel the Koopa kids, then okay.

BTW, Mario is also no stranger to several abandoned characters:

Johnny2071

Well by the looks of things, between:

-Pac-man Amiibo
-SSB Lucas DLC
-Pikmin Short Films
-Ultimate Angler
-Battleground Z
-Mii Plaza V.I.P. Add-on
-Worlds Unite
-Splatoon
-SM3DW
-PATGA 2
-Yoshi’s Woolly World
-Yarn Yoshi Amiibo
-SM3DL
-Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon
-The new Chibi-Robo game that actually looks fun
-And MASATROG

My expenses will be pretty damn tight.

SpongicX

I love the artwork, but wouldn’t it make more sense to have Amy in it, instead of Knuckles. Considering how it shows Mario, Luigi, and Peach, it would make more sense to contrast it with Sonic, Tails, and Amy. That way, it feels like a competition of the two main playable guys from both series, along with the main female character. It just seems strange to see Knuckles in there. If Wario were in the shot, then it would go great with Knuckles. I hope all the past characters will return, because I didn’t notice the inclusion of Amy, Blaze, Vector, Bowser, Bowser Jr. Metal Sonic, Wario, or Waluigi. The video was short after all, and didn’t show a big variety of what events would be featured, so there’s hopefully a high chance they will return. I’m glad they’re finally adding more new characters, something they should have done with the last Summer and Winter video games. Some of the choices are questionable though, like Nabbit and Zazz (considering he wasn’t a rival.) If Zazz is playable, then that could leave an open spot for an unrevealed Mario character, which hopefully could be Rosalina. Maybe there will be more new characters as well, if so, I’m hoping for Rosalina, Toad, Cream, Big, K. Rool, Dixie, and Espio.

bertodecosta

But unlike Knuckles, Amy never had her own videogames.

YoshiAngemon

Let’s see Sticks the Badger make it to THIS game, and with a shadow concealing her lack of underwear, or make her wear brown underwear!

Jo Reven

While we’re at it, Sonic can use some underwear, too. Good lord, what are they trying to show the kids nowadays?!

Tom

Yay! Modern Sonic isn’t dead!
Also I doubt amiibos would be made for this game as I assume it’s being developed by Sega, not Nintendo.

wynn728

They confirmed that Sonic Boom is a sub series that goes along with the Modern series. So there is no surprise that Modern Sonic is back.

Johnny2071

It is a surprise. SEGA gave no distinction that we would get anything other than Sonic Runners this year. In fact, SEGA’s going public about the 300 layoffs/mobile game focus gave people the impression that modern Sonic was going to be gone for a long time. Meanwhile, this site in particular gives more newsfeed about anything Sonic Boom than any other Sonic site out there.

wynn728

They already confirmed that Sonic wasn’t done with console games a while back. There is really no surprise that another Sonic game is coming back on consoles.

Johnny2071

They never said WHEN he was returning, or if he was returning this year.

Edward Thorpe

As one of thouse people who enjoy the Mario & Sonic Olympic Games series for what it is i’m sure excited!

kamifox1

In that title render, Mario looks like he wants to KILL Sonic! O_O Maybe that whole theory about Mario being the villain is right after all!

bertodecosta

It’s because this olympic held in Brazil. Most of Brazilian would cheer for Sonic instead for him. He hated this event from the start. 😛

TailsMelv025

Tails amiibo

ChrizTR

With the way Mario is looking at Sonic it’s like Saga and Nintendo are trying to tell us something!

Andres LOPEZ

YES !!!!!!!!! Ive been wanting to own a game from this series for a while and its finally here ! . Glad we got announcement before e3

Raw

I can’t say I’m surprised ot excited for this game though I have to admit I’m liking the art, also I’m happy about the inclusions of Jet, Espio and Rouge (can’t say the same about Zazz) but I wonder if there will be more playable characters, I would really love to see Omega and Chaos in this.

SK72o

Oh dear not another one….. Mario & Sonic Olympics has been getting repetive since the first one.how long will they continue to milk this???? I once joked in 2009 that they will release a Olympics every 2 years and it seems that was true.

Sega just make a flipping Mario & Sonic adventure or RPG based game!!!!!these 2 big legendary icons and all you do is put them in some Olympics cash in?

Sonic-Boom

hopefully there is some kind of Sonic on PS4 this year fingers crossed

i watched the video for this one it looks better than the last one .

JasonTheJackass

HA! Called it. Looks like I do have something to cover at E3 after all.

SolidSonicTH

So…Sonic and Mario are going to Rio…but the game itself isn’t going to be sold in Brazil…?

Kabam!

… … Good Point.

xXCrush40Xx

That’s extremely odd.

FalconKick

Damn, that’s messed up. First The World Cup and now this; I feel bad for Brazil these days.

Kabam!

THERE BETTER BE A FANCY OPENING THIS TIME.

Johnny2071

i’m surprised that no one mentioned this, but isn’t Birdo a playable character too?

Edward Thorpe

The goal keeper aren’t actual playable characters. They tend to be the generic Egg Pawns and Birdos.

Johnny2071

Then why are they goalies and why are red/blue icons around them?

darkgomugomu

A part of me wants Jesse Eisenberg as a playable character.

Jeffery Mass

Well, not too excited for the game itself, but I’m at least happy that this is pretty much a confirmation that Sonic titles will still be released on consoles. And the tropical summer Rio style is at least different enough that it actually looks kinda interesting.

TheBlackHoodedGamer

Woah! Well, I think I’ll be the first to say that… I’m surprised. I thought they’d finally stop with these after Sochi. I am still pretty sad that Mario & Sonic don’t have a real crossover, but these games are still fun. And at last, they are doing what I’ve been asking for… MORE playable characters. Mario and Sonic have such iconic and fun casts that I feel Silver and DK weren’t enough last time. I am also very excited to play as Zazz for the very first time.

If Zazz is going to be in, I’d love to see Iggy… my favorite Mario character. He is love and life.

TheBlackHoodedGamer

*Silver, DK, Junior, and Metal Sonic

I was hoping the last two times that we’d get new characters in each installment is more what I mean. It’s great to see Rouge, Diddy, Jet, Nabbit, and Zazz (and even a flag for Espio.)

Kintobor

Yooooo! I hope this won’t be as much as a bust like the Sochi game was. I can finally have Waluigi and Eggman on a team again.

So excited.

*SOS

These are looking worse and worse each time. Not that the actual quality (not inferring there is quality) is dwindling with each title, but that the more time goes by the less and less appreciation i have for the whole series. Maybe if there was just the first one, it would be a noteworthy mark in the two’s history. Seeing as they keep releasing these for the quick cash and just completely ignore the fact that the majority of the mature fans who bought the original have lost interest and respect for the series now. Even if there was a 2018 winter olympics game and even if it was actually better than this one, wouldn’t matter to people who want quality games anymore because sega and nintendo simply refuse to listen to the criticism that we don’t want the olympics games crossovers anymore. We get it, they competed in the olympics which they had and have no business doing from the beginning, but whatever. They don’t even have to make a platformer or an epic action game. Just Something, anything else that would make more sense than the olympics. Put them in an actual soccer game like strikers for crying out loud and and actually focus on an idea instead of IDK Waahhhh HAVE ALL THESE PARTY GIMES!

Johnny2071

Careful what you say about “anything”.

There’s been an increase of freemium/microtransactional games lately. But a platformer crossover would be awesome. One that pays tribute to both franchises, rather than cash in on the Olympic games every two years for each one.

But at least we get more characters. And hopefully this game around has a real objective for beating the game (like 2010, only bigger). Maybe I can sell the 2012 and 2014 games.

I wish that Rosalina could be in the game.

MarioKartGamer Dude

I’m SOOOO excited for this game but i REALLY hope that….
1. We get a CG opening this time cuz i bet it would look AMAZING with the WiiU’s HD Graphics!
2. I hope Rosalina is in it because it’s obvious she would be, with Rouge as a character we have an uneven amount of females so they have to put her in to balance it out, and i REALLY wanna see her sports outfit 😉
3. There’s More events than all the games combined
4. The Modes are better
5. The Game’s Story Mode is on thr console version this time!

Johnny2071

How about Cream for once. I always thought Cream was equal to Daisy, while Blaze would be equal to Rosalina.

MarioKartGamer Dude

I also hope that
1. We get more than 8 new characters ( they do owe use ALOT by now)
2. Some male characters get outfit changes this time around (still weirded out by Mario still swimming in his plumbers outfit)
3. The new characters and new/old events are locked and have to be unlocked later
4. New Voice Clips, not recycled ones again
5. New/remixed music!

Kabam!

Possibly the Sonic Stadium article with the most updates of all time?

Katie Baily

Seriously does anyone still care about this crossover series. Yeah it’s better than Boom but seriously Sega, how about not wasting this partnership and make the adventure crossover everyone really wants.Make something that might actually make you money for a change.

patg500

you should tell sega to confirmed vector and the rest instead

James Wang

I hope that Rosalina is playable in this game.
