    Looks like Japan is getting their own specialized version of the video.

    My copy-paste expectations: We're due for at least the date of the Dark Beginnings animation, probably a story preview for Shadow Generations itself, and maybe we'll find out what DC X Sonic is all about and remind us of Rumble, alongside a bunch of merch showcases. My wildcard is we'll get some new Minecraft Sonic thing.

    I’ll have to find the source on this later because I’m getting ready for work right now, but the rights stuff is a debunked myth. The only reason the Advance games have not been rereleased is a lack of will from SEGA, likely because they’re not recognised by normies as belonging to the “good” Sonic games.

    I hope they re-release the Advance games but I doubt it'll happen today. Iizuka recently said they have no plans for a re-release so I'd be surprised if it happens this soon.

    THQ Nordic have only put a statement that they do not own the rights for the Advance games but that doesn't clear up the rights issue, especially when the games saw release on the Japanese Wii U eShop, and in Japan Sega always published them. There could still be rights issues due to THQ's bankruptcy and reformation.

    Also the idea that people don't think they're good Sonic games isn't really true at all. They're consistently brought up as such and reviewed and sold well in their day. If a normie doesn't think they're part of the good Sonic games, it's probably because they don't know they exist at all.

    So besides rights, that's probably the real issue: Sega may not see them as having high interest, especially since they (both Sega and the people who are interested in the games' re-release) probably want to do more than just release them on NSO, like Sonic Origins it for modern systems, which requires having a GBA emulator or a studio willing to natively port the games.

    It's also possible they could just be lying and they are planning on re-releasing them...

    OR
    Sonic Team just recently said "we don't have plans but that would be cool" when asked about Advance ports. Generally when Sonic has something tied up in rights issues they either redirect the question or just refuse to say anything at all.

    Playing devil's advocate here, if SEGA were already on the case with a collection of the Sonic Advance games, they'd hardly have answered the question with "Oh yeah, sure, that's coming up soon actually, have we not mentioned that?" - it'd completely undercut their own planned announcement.

    Not that I think they are, mind, but my point is that a fairly noncommital response like that doesn't really tell us much either way.

    Each year I know how painfully corporate and boring these things are going to be, yet I tune in anyways. I suppose at least the DC stuff is worthwhile (though the game cast having split eyes is just weird), but other than that, Rumble coming to PC and the new Shadow Generations trailer (Mephiles!)...meh.

    Yeah that felt like a whole lotta nothing to be honest. I mean it's cool seeing that Mephiles is in Shadow Gens, although that's kind of what I was expecting anyways.

    Soooo close. But you gotta make them look at the camera, this is just kind of weird.
    Also having it just fucking overlaid on the old trailer footage with letterboxing is just nasty looking.
     
  15. Never in a million years would I have expected them to reference that specific Zoobooks commercial

    A whole bunch of nothing, per usual.

    Of course the one interesting mobile game isn't the one getting a PC port. Then we got that full-length commercial for Lego sets that came out like a year ago. And fucking Mephiles showing up in Sonic X Shadow Generations is the definitive proof I needed to realize that this game Isn't For Me.

    And what the hell was that NFT-looking virtual Shadow figurine about?

    OR
    That LEGO skit slightly convinced me that some of the Pontac/Graff humor would be more tolerable if Iizuka was there offering wooden reactions to everything, but then it kept going for what felt like five fucking minutes.

    Anyway, Shadow Generations and Dark Beginnings are going fuckin' crazy, but we knew that already.

    it's like sega knew we we're hungry but all that was in the freezer was beef mince, an empty ice cream tub and a loose potato waffle.
