They just asked the crowd at the panel if they want a vinyl album of the OST and the response was great.

Let down but I'll wait.
I'd rather have a good game than a rushed game.

Disappointed... But a delay is never a bad thing.

Oh well.
Not that Mania won't be good or anything but, time certainly doesn't save a bad game from being bad as recent years have shown.

Not actually that important
Physical coming? Yeah I know about the LE, it's a code still
What's that even supposed to mean.
For every instance of a delayed bad game there's like ten delayed good games.

Sega actually swallowing their pride and delaying a Sonic game is a rare move as far as I remember. They've been rushing them to meet deadlines since 2, 3 and almost everything since.
Fire and Ice was delayed a whole year but they were apparently just sitting on it the entire time rather than actually extending its development.

Cool art. Kinda reminds of Advance 3.

Hope the delay is to make sure the game is perfect as possible.

Did they confirm a cart/disc physical edition?

Pretty sure they'll give Taxman and co as much time as is feasible to make sure the game has the best possible chance. Which I am perfectly fine with.
I love the original Flying Battery, but this trailer doesn't look like an especially new take on it. After seeing GHZ2, and hearing them talk about how other "remixed" levels would be more drastically different like GHZ2 is, this looks a whole lot like S&K Flying Battery save a few bits.
Rest of the game looks phenomenal, so I'm not losing hope or anything - maybe it's just a bad trailer. You could certainly cut a few bits of GHZ1 in this game that don't look impressive, too.

nah
only thing they talked about physically was a CE Vinyl.
Honestly if we do see a physical release it'll probably be after release.

Okay? I am just saying don't use a delay as always something positive is all. Nothing wrong with a little skepticism. Again the game in question is probably fine regardless anyway.

Yeah. I remember them saying GHZ was the most tame of the remixed levels, and Act 2 alone is already pretty bonkers as is.
That said, I don't doubt the same will hold true for Flying Battery. There's some potential there already what with the Death Egg esque gravity flipping for some silliness.
