Sonic Superstars and beyond. Sega makes up for lost time, part 1...
Hello friends. I hope that you are doing well. I wanted to do a follow up on my love of Sonic Team. Writing about the developers made me realize that I hadn’t played any new Sonic titles in a few years. Part of the reason why was because a lot of the people that made up the core of the original Sonic Team had retired or moved on to different companies. Plus many of the latter 3D Sonic games seemed to be lacking the soul of the titles that I really vibed with. So I stayed clear of them for a long time. Sonic Mania Plus was the title that reignited my passion for the franchise. The original Sonic Mania came out in 2017. It featured a literal who’s-who of the most passionate members of the fan community. Instead of Sonic Team it was developed by Christian Whitehead, Headcannon, Hyperkinetic Studios, PagodaWest Games, Tantalus Media, and published by Sega. It seemed that it took that many people to rekindle the magic from the early ‘90s.
