I just tuned in, and what is happening with Mania now?

[edit] No Vector what the hell is this, no-one cares about Ray.

Coming out in summer. Pre-orders start next Monday

Oh also all the ingame content will also be available as a free update to Sonic Mania if you already own it digitally (which I imagine most people here do)

They said they will talk about pricing for the update later so I don't think it's free.

Yippy Skippy for Mighty and Ray but there's about twenty characters I would've picked ahead of them.

I thought I heard them say free but eh I'll pay whatever the cost is

edit: 5 new short animations, set in the world of Sonic Mania. Presumably Tyson Hesse is overseeing the whole thing like the Mania opening

I do wish they were doing Amy instead of one of them. Her hammer just provides a much more different gameplay style than the others

loving awesome. I was about to start a new run of Mania but I’ll wait for the update.

Did they give any details on what encore mode is?

Ray and Mighty are both Sonic stand-ins so it's a bit hard to be that interested until they say what their Mania versions do.

Not so much a show, but five short cartoons. Still awesome!

Honestly I do think its cool to see Ray and Mighty again after they've been awol forever. I was just hoping for Amy and Vector. Vector is a personal favorite of mine, but it is a little odd how absent Amy aside from the doll in that boss fight when she's the 4th most important character after Sonic\Tails\Knuckles.

They need to make red shoes with a white stripe in the middle, otherwise not interested

I’d rebuy it even with the digital version getting everything for free if they released it in a Genesis plastic clamshell.

Hi its me the guy who doesn't want any more of sonics stupid friends in games. Sonic, Tails, and Knux are enough we don't need weasel the gun or bee fast.

Also a 4 player competition mode and "encore" mode don't sound too great.

I'd love a new level or something for Mania Plus - but I figure they would have announced something like that. I kinda just hoping they add the missing level transitions in.

I would be into competition mode if it was like, an actual race and not some weird points scoring thing. I did it with a buddy, and when someone lost the race, they would win the match and we were both like "wtf"

it's been so long since I've played Vs. mode in Sonic 2 or 3, but they didn't work like that, right?

Remaster then? R is by the same guy who just released his director's cut of 3D blast. That's 100% the Sonic R R tho.

Those definitely look like regular-rear end cars, although they don't sound it, so it could be a red herring.

It's probably by Sumo. In my head it's just SEGA All Star Racing 3 with a different name, and possibly art style.

It clearly says "Ray's Revenge", so I'm guessing it's some sort of tie-in with Ray now appearing in Mania

Also regardless of if you already have the digital game everyone should buy the physical edition to show Sega that we want more good Sonic games.
