The new trailer for Sonic Mania featuring a new zone. Also Sonci mania has been delayed to Summer 2017. Which is a nice surprise from SEGA since they have been known to rush their Sonic games.

 

Ahh flying battery zone

Digging that new remix, and I am for one happy to see them sticking to their promises to pursue quality over a speedy release. And it really seems like they're letting this dev team work in better conditions too, since it sounds like it's already developing at such a steady pace. Really at this point the only other thing I could ask for from this game is if they could just make Classic Amy a new playable character. I know, I know, it's a bit of a stretch, but honestly I feel like it'd be another great new thing to throw into the game to add more of a challenge, especially since about 60% of the game is reinvented classic stages anyway, so playing through them with a "new" character would make everything even fresher than it already is. Plus, I'm really curious how they would go about a playable Classic Amy. I mean, they would have to make up a lot of new sprites for her, but considering all the new animations they've given Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles, I don't think that's too tall an order for them. At the very least it would make some nice DLC or even a completion bonus, just don't make it as ridiculously unreasonable as Sonic Advance 2's unlock conditions (my poor thumb...).

Actually, I have a more logical reason as to why Sega intentionally delayed Sonic Mania.

 

 

Let's be honest, both games would have released around the same time period. Plus, Sega owns Atlus anyway (and Sega of America is distributing this game) so why would they want to jeapordise the sales of Atlus most popular franchise with Sega's most popular franchise?

I am so excited to see what SEGA has in store with Sonic Mania and Sonic Forces!
