Why are people acting like this game wasn't announced for Switch?

Wasn't there an NX logo on one of the trailers around reveal time?

This was not. The other Sonic game got confirmed for Switch. Though there's hope this could be brought to the Switch.

That was for the newest Sonic Team game.

Dammit. I forgot that game even existed.....hahaha

I swear it was for Mania (and it was like quickly edited out) but maybe I imagined that part, too.

don't see why this wouldn't be on Switch though.

 

[Icyflamez96]

nothing, iirc the guy doesn't even know what they were doing
They just used the logo, he was as confused as w were

I thought it was pretty clear Madeon was playing along with the tease and not actually confused as to what was going on.

 

[Aquova]

Remember all those people who make fun of Sonic Adventure for having Sonic with real people? Well, who's laughing now?

 

[Guess Who]

Sonic Mania is indeed confirmed for Switch.

No way! I'm amazed they didn't at least show footage of that during the montage.

 

[Soulstar]

Yay!!!

 

[Opa-Pa]

Thank god.

[TheDinoman]

Happy to see this game make the Switch (heh). Was worried that SEGA would be dumb about it like how they were with those Sonic 1 & 2 ports/remakes (that were made exclusive to smart phones only for some reason).

Looks great but I hate Sonics running animation from Sonic CD (and I would have preferred the S3 sprites than S1/S2)

Has Sega said anything about the games release Date? Anything on how many levels there are? I honestly hope all levels from Sonic 1, Sonic 2 and Sonic3&Knuckles is in the game

 

[RadarScope1]

This really does look good, doesn't it? If the reviews indicate it's not a bomb I'll buy just to support retro done right.

At least show Green Hill Act 2 dammit

 

[WeirdoStalkerJr]

Someone should update OP to include Switch/NX. Game looks very good btw.

Exactly my thoughts.
At least they fixed Sonic's inconsistent hand size. It irritated me so much when he was standing in S1/2

Here's a nice video of Mania running on the Switch in handheld mode.

I can't believe we're getting a brand spanking new pixel Sonic game, and on the latest portable hardware. A match made in heaven.

SO stoked. Triple dipped on this game. (PC/X1/Switch)

I mean...you can play this on a Win GPD too ya know. Don't see what the big deal si with the whole portability thing >_>;

How are those? I've heard mixed things about them. Can they do Dreamcast emulators as well? I'm interested in the idea of a portable PC.

 

[Seik]

now we just need it on a cartridge!

FTFY.

And yeah...Sonic Mania cartridge would kill me!

GAF's own Phawx has a video of a DC emu running on Win GPD.

Heh, it's probably going to be the best selling version

Just like Sonic fits more on Nintendo consoles for some reasons.

 

[Aquova]

To be fair, I imagine many people were drawn to the Nintendo page for the Zelda and Switch footage, and happened to see Sonic.

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

I was really hoping this would make its way to the Wii U instead of the Switch, but either way I'm glad it's coming to a platform I own; I thought for sure I wouldn't get the chance to play it.

 

[Neoxon]

Why? The Wii U is basically dead.

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

Why? The Wii U is basically dead.

Because when the game was announced, I owned a Wii U. There was no guarantee at the time that I would be purchasing a Switch.

 

[Neoxon]

Because when the game was announced, I owned a Wii U. There was no guarantee at the time that I would be purchasing a Switch.

Even then, it was pretty clear that the Wii U was dead. Hell, Project Sonic 2017 was already announced for the Switch when it was known as the NX.

This shook me

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

The Wii U's financial success in the marketplace doesn't change my situation.The Wii U is the only current generation hardware I own and thus the only way I would be able to play the game. When the game was announced last year a lack of Wii U announcement meant I wouldn't be able to play the game, which is a bummer.

 

[Cmagus]

Looks so good and the presentation looks so crisp and clean. I hope if this is successful they let these guys keep making more retro titles and let the main Sonic teams focus on the newer games. I'd honestly take one of these every year or two.

 

[sonto340]

To be fair, I imagine many people were drawn to the Nintendo page for the Zelda and Switch footage, and happened to see Sonic.

To be also fair, the switch trailer has been up for a fraction of the time

Shame they didn't reveal the switch version before I bought the PC special edition.

 

[Mr Swine]

Heh, it's probably going to be the best selling version

The Switch trailer has been seen by 2.2 million now while its more or less the same on the PS trailer. I really hope that SM sells well on switch

 

[bman94]

God damnit this would have been perfect physical on Switch. Has Sega ever announced pricing for this yet?

 

[Hero of Legend]

Heh, it's probably going to be the best selling version

Pff, that's nothing, the Switch trailer will surely overtake the ORIGINAL trailer at this point, it's just behind the Project Sonic 2017 trailer right now:

I've seen people doubt that Nintendo is Sonic's #1 market, yeah.

I was so scared Sonic Mania wasn't going to be on a Nintendo system... I'm absolutely buying it on Switch (assuming it's a good port). Sonic just feels most at home on a Nintendo system in the year 2017.

We'll see how Project 2017 on Switch turns out, though... I imagine PS4 will get the best version unless Nintendo pitches for some exclusive content.

 

[Galactic Specter]

We better get a release date in the next few weeks.

 

[timetokill]

Sonic just belongs on Nintendo hardware at this point. It's a natural home for him.

 

[Yagharek]

There's a physical version listed in Australian retailers today.

 

[Vinnk]

Remember all those people who make fun of Sonic Adventure for having Sonic with real people? Well, who's laughing now?

I'm OK so far. But if Mario stars making out with a "real world" person, I'm out.

I'm just hoping 2017 is a legit port this time and not some Dimped/Unleashed Wii version, luckily signs point to it being a port.

I could see special treatment for the Switch version, considering that Puyo Puyo Tetris is not only getting an exclusive digital release in the west (PS4 is retail-only), but Switch is also getting a special retail package with keychains (not a biggie but still neat).

Appropriate since Tetris was ALWAYS most associated with Nintendo (isn't Yamauchi's son-in-law Minoru Arakawa still there?) and Puyo Puyo had also been almost 100% Nintendo-exclusive in NA post-Sega consoles aside from that N-Gage release. I think EU did get the Sony versions of Fever though.

Maybe Sega and Nintendo might get some amiibo and maybe DLC support ala Lost World in 2017, who knows.

There's a physical version listed in Australian retailers today.

You sure that's not the collector's edition? I'll check myself.

Edit: OH MY FUCKING GOD YOU'RE RIGHT!!!

https://ebgames.com.au/nintendo-switch-225645-Sonic-Mania-Placeholder-Price-Switch

AND only Switch came up for it! O_O AND I fucking called the box (if final):

 

[LordKasual]

Unleashed and Generations couldn't even run on Nintendo hardware....


Anyway, Sonic Mania coming to Switch isn't even a surprise. The real question here should be, is it coming to the 3DS or not

 

[jnWake]

To be fair, I imagine many people were drawn to the Nintendo page for the Zelda and Switch footage, and happened to see Sonic.

I'd guess the same happens with the games too. People buy Switch to play Zelda, Mario and then see Sonic and buy it! After all, it's a game that appeals to Nintendo fans too.

 

[Aaron Strife]

God damnit this would have been perfect physical on Switch. Has Sega ever announced pricing for this yet?

Would pay $20 for a retail version.

Maybe $30 but that's pushing it depending on how featured it is.

 

[Aquova]

I doubt it. I think they were specifically waiting to announce Mania at this event, there was no reason for them to hold off on announcing a 3DS version. Maybe we'll get a port if the current releases do well, but I it wouldn't release until later.
