Sonic Superstars | Nintendo Direct Trailer
A new trailer for Sonic Superstars was shown during today's Nintendo Direct, and although nothing notably new was shown we did at least get a little extra insight into the powers of the blue and purple Chaos Emeralds.

It looks fantastic. It's all gonna be a matter of how it plays.

The dev has me sketch because I have a history with them. Arzest (Artoon) were the ones that took over Yoshi game development until the home console development for Yoshi games began (2004-2014), namely by Sonic creator Naoto Ohshima, and those games were... well they didn't get the vibe check from me. This being a Sonic instance has a lot in its favor consequently because of his history with Sonic's core concept, so.. the looks will be on point. Just how will the game play? Time will tell. Seems fine so far, though
It seems the general consensus is that this isn't an overall good game and falls short in a lot of ways, and I don't know entirely what they experienced but a Twitch streamer I just put on (NobletOfU) was on the final boss for the Sonic campaign and it looked really, really dull, and I presume this was his first character campaign as he said he isn't touching any of the others and regrets spending $60 on such a poorly made game.
Shame because the initial pitch for Superstars looked so good and promising, but the curse of Sonic Coin Flips™ strikes again it seems.

So disappointing how they just can't make a Sonic game be good still, they really need to hire the people who remade Sonic'06 called P-'06 into an actual good game, I watched a video on it a while ago.

Hadn't read this until now, but I never knew Sonic '06 was given a fan remake. Was it a ground-up style remake or was it modifying the original game? It sounds like the fan rework to Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness that I think is still ongoing that has apparently really revamped that game, although I haven't ever looked into it.

A ground-up style done in Unity with changes made to make it play and look better from day setting to gameplay.

This is the video I watched a while ago about it, the first 8 minutes gives you the gist of it then after goes into the story sections and some more.




Sonic the Hedgehog Added to GPS App Waze as a Sidekick - Moonface - Oct 16th, 2025

Sonic the Hedgehog Added to GPS App Waze as a Sidekick
Users of the GPS navigation app Waze can now select Sonic the Hedgehog as a sidekick character. Sidekicks are basically celebrity voices that replace the standard voice navigation while driving. So yes, this means Sonic will give you directions while you drive.

According to Waze, Sonic will say such lines as “alright, let’s roll, keep your eyes on the road, never know when a loop-de-loop or spike trap will be in the way” and “turn right, excellent handling, no notes from me whatsoever”.

The collaboration also lets users replace their in-app car icon with the Speedster Lightning car from Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, and replace their driver avatar with a Sonic face.


Okay, I think this is actually pretty cool. I thought it was gonna just be a voice swapper but it looks more like this feature can actually replace voice lines outright to be more thematic to the character you pick.

This comment I saw on the article was funny too:

Quote:“Gotta go fast”

Sonic, I don’t think that’s wise this is a school zone.

“Woah, that’s interesting, but I sure don’t care!”
