Another Sonic game is coming to Apple’s game subscription service, Apple Arcade, at some point in the near future. Little else is currently known about it, but if its anything like Sonic’s previous game on the platform, Sonic Racing, it will likely just be a conversion of vanilla Sonic Dash with all of the micro-transactions and ads removed. Neither of these elements are allowed in games on the service. Whether Sonic Dash+ has anything unique, we’ll just have to wait and see. Check out the tweet below for the announcement, and for the link that’ll let you sign up to be notified when the game is available.

Subscription Sonic Spinball (and Other Genesis Classics) Join Switch Online Expansion
GX -The Spindash- posted a story in Games
If you've shelled out for the Switch Online Expansion Pack for the bonus retro games, Sonic Spinball, Shining Force II, and Space Harrier II have been added to the Genesis app. To coincide with this update, Nintendo released a brief gameplay sample of each: There have been plenty of collections and re-releases of these games, but let's be real, the true hero of these releases is the rewind. Sonic Spinball is hard. It's not very long, no, but have you ever made it to that final stage? It's absolutely insane. So if you're already invested in the pack, why not just boot it up and cheat your heart out? I won't hold it against you.-

Sonic Team Games PSO Episode I & II Will Require a Subscription, Cross-Platform Play Killed
Dreadknux posted a story in SEGA
Some disappointing news in the Phantasy Star Online universe, depending on how you were hoping to play and whether you have deep pockets. SEGA has confirmed that the upcoming Episode I & II game on Gamecube and Xbox will require subscription payments - and no, you won't be able to play between the different consoles either. In an interview with Gamespot, SEGA America's Charles Bellfield revealed some business-related details of the online RPG's Western release. When asked if PSO will be pay-to-play, Bellfield said, "Yes, there will be a subscription service for PSO Episode I & II. Of course, that may change -- it may be free." That might imply that SEGA is thinking about removing the subscription if enough people complain about it, but honestly it just sounds like Bellfield is letting everyone down gently. In the same interview, Bellfield talked about the possibility of cross-platform play with the game. Unfortunately, although they explored the idea, apparently it was not possible. Bellfield said, because Xbox Live will be a closed system, it wouldn't be able to play with players on different consoles. He did say that in the future Gamecube and PlayStation 2 may have no trouble connecting together though, so at least there's that ray of hope. Read the whole interview here (via PSO World). -
