Sonic Superstars is Out Now

[nuckles87]

SEGA’s 2D Classic Sonic game, Sonic Superstars, is now out and available on all platforms, including Playstation, Xbox, Switch, and the PC storefronts Steam and Epic! Be sure to download patch 1.05 before you play, which appears to be some sort of day one stability update. The game is developed by Arzest, a company founded by Sonic co-creator Naoto Ohshima.

You can check out our review here. If you want to see the game in action, we've covered the first 7 stages pretty extensively on our YouTube. You can check out our Sunday livestream over on Twitch.

UPDATE: There's a launch trailer. While you can watch it below, we would like to warn you that it contains late game spoilers, the sort we've been avoiding posting ourselves.

Launch trailer, anyone?

Well now, that was a well put together trailer. If any piece of media was enough to convince me of a purchase this would be it. 

However, as a Sonic fan they already had me preordering at the announcement trailer.

I pre-ordered the game well over a week ago with a shipping forecast of release date delivery, confident that I would be able to play it reasonably promptly.  I've had no dispatch notice and just checked the site I ordered from to find that they had put their release date back to... December.

Edit: The power of writing to support!  My copy has now dispatched.

Edit Again: And in the end, it was only two days late, rather than two months.  I think I can live with this.

When are they sending out codes for Modern Amy?

Uh... 1:12 in that launch trailer. A purple moon. It couldn't be The End?

Well, if Mania was forced into Forces, that I guess the same could happen to Superstars and Frontiers...

As for the game, I'll wait for a sale, since my money went to Spider-man 2 (and a PS5!) this month.

Doesn't look like The End is doing much killing there though. Guess it's sleeping
