PSA Retailers Break Street Date For Sonic Superstars

[Dreadknux]

Fellow fans, it's that time of year again - it appears a number of retailers have broken the street date of Sonic Superstars, with some eager gamers getting a hold of copies ahead of its official October 17 launch.

 

The above images were posted to social media by user "One2Switcheroo", who obtained a copy of the Nintendo Switch version. "Yes, it’s the real deal. No, Im not gonna dump it. If you visit your local mom and pop shop, you might get lucky," they wrote.

This isn't the first time that a Sonic game (or a SEGA game, for that matter) has broken street date. While it's nice for some lucky fans to get their hands on a copy of the game early, it's depressing for the rest of the community that they won't have a chance to join in the launch fun - and worse, even potentially get major sections of the game spoiled for them.

As always, please be careful about the content you may see on social media and other platforms between now and October 17. If you're wanting a total blackout from the Sonic Superstars chat, stay with us at the Sonic Stadium - while there will no doubt be spoiler discussions about the game flying around, our community will make sure that anything that might be considered a spoiler will be encased in spoiler tags...

Spoiler

... just like this...

... so you won't get anything ruined.

Oh hey, it's got a reversible cover.

That's a really nice reversible cover.  I'm glad they included a classic 2D illustrated cover in addition to the market-obligated 3D one.

Well that's depressing. Awesome for whoever got an early copy of the game but now the magic of doing a release party is dead on arrival.

Yes, why?

seriously, what do you get from spoiling a game? Like, seriously, its un-called for to spoil a game for excited fans just to know that one of the emerald powers turns you into Chaos 0 (you know what I'm talking about, so don't act). Again, I'm excited for the game and cannot wait to play it.

God, I hate how they do the reversible covers. I love that 2D art piece, but since it doesn’t have the console logos, I’m never gonna use it because it’ll stick out like a sore thumb amongst my collection.

I got spoiled lol. YouTube decided to shove some Superforms down my homepage including that new character. Hopefully I forget around Christmas time when I pick the game up.

Haven't been able to get an early copy but I am more than likely going to leave work early on the 17th as I'm hoping the Spiderman release kinda blots out any spoilers on my social feeds.

Anyone heard if Sega is cracking down on the stores who released early? As surely they aren't too happy about the breach of contract
