SEGA has released the beautifully animated opening cinematic from Sonic Superstars, its upcoming side-scroller throwback for PS5 and PS4. This has clearly been created with a heavy dose of nostalgia in mind, as it reminds us of the legendary cartoon-style intro from Sonic CD. We don’t think it’s quite as good as that one – but it’s still great!

We went hands on with the Blue Blur’s latest at Summer Game Fest earlier in the year, and really enjoyed what we played. “With new additions on top of the classic Sonic the Hedgehog mantra, this is the type of gotta go fast gameplay long-time fans have come to appreciate,” we wrote in our preview. “The four characters feel good to control, both on the ground and in the air [and] the platforming is satisfying.”

Does a really good job of getting me pumped to play the game.
Am I the only one confused by the names of what seem like a bunch of Sonic stuff either newly released or upcoming? I bought my kid the last new Sonic game for Christmas, and my kids want Netflix to watch a new Sonic show, and this game, and I feel like some other games and or shows are popular right now. Just seems a bit much. Not quite Mario overload, but at least the names of those things are easy to keep straight - movie, RPG, Wonder. 🤷♂️
Sonic CD is better, but I still enjoyed it. Looking forward to the game.
@KaijuKaiser Thanks, figured as much. Though w/ only 8 comments it is a very small sample size. 😁
Nice reference. Sonic CD's opening was so awesome. I'll never forget that.
