The Emerald-Powered Potential Of Sonic Superstars

At this year’s Summer Game Fest, Sonic Superstars was announced alongside the release of a demo for guests, especially the Sonic supporters at the event [13] [29] [32]. Aside from a certain jerboa-wolf nicknamed “Nack the Weasel” on his Marvellous Queen being the most surprising reveal [22] [23], there is something deeply honourable about the debut of a four-player co-op mode [19] [31] [40] [41], yet it is humble to apologise for a misunderstanding regarding some resemblance to a talented fan artist’s work [27]. Strangely enough, Sonic Superstars is NOT just developed by Sonic Team. There is an alliance with Arzest. As promising as Rayman’s big return to 3D in a forthcoming DLC expansion for Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope seems [5] [37], Sonic Superstars could be a sensational new chapter for the speedy blue rodent’s classic incarnation [18] [40] [41]. Since it has been almost a week since the announcement of Sonic Superstars [19] [31] [40] [41], let us discuss what else will occur throughout the experience, along with a few other aspects from the announcement trailer while cartoon cats continue to dine at an outdoor café in Campfire Cat Café and I wonder if a new customer in a future update or season event for the app could be as poetic and quirky as Rocky Rickaby from Lackadaisy and MC Skat Kat [3] [8] [10] [36] [38]. 
Welcome back to main Sonic game developing, Naoto Ohshima [27]! And have fun with the upcoming collaboration between Jet Set Radio and Roller Champions later this month, Jet Set Radio stars [4] [5]! [27]
What else is there to point out during the hype for Sonic Superstars [19] [31]? The adventure will take place in a brand new location known as “Northstar Islands” [18], which leads to new zones, including Bridge Island Zone and Speed Jungle Zone as some potentially refreshing alternatives to Green Hill Zone and Labyrinth Zone [24]. Another surprising new aspect is the introduction of a brand new character named “Trip” who will be another antagonist besides Fang the Sniper who debuted in Sonic Triple Trouble [21] [22] [28] [33]. There also appear to be 3D sprites of the four playable characters, which were previously revealed in the announcement trailer [19] [31]. Also previously revealed in the announcement trailer, the new abilities, including the one that enables Sonic to swim up waterfalls are called “Emerald” powers [18] [19] [27] [31]. Lastly, another type of special stage is in a third-person view [19] [31], quite like the moments of Modern Sonic soaring and wrecking floating panels at Starlight Carnival in the Wii version of Sonic Colours [15]. In a team, up to four Classic Sonic fans could have a blast with speeding up with the classic incarnations of Sonic the Hedgehog, Kilometres…ummmm…I mean Miles “Tails” Prower [20] [30], Knuckles the Echidna and Amy Rose (who can strive in her modern outfit for subscribers of the promotional website, which could look like a fusion of Classic Amy and Modern Amy) [18] [19] [31] [40] [41].
I wonder how this mysterious figure will react to Sage from Sonic Frontiers [16]. They will work for Dr. Eggman, formerly known as “Dr. Robotnik” and could be Fang’s new partner in crime [17] [27] [33]. [28]

The potential of Sonic Superstars could soon level up with the release of a second trailer revealing a little more [19] [31]. Can you imagine if Sister Sonic and Super Sonic Sisters were never cancelled back in the ‘90s [2] [25] [26]? Those would have resulted in an RPG series starring Sonic’s twin sister, along with their cousins Monica and Isabelle appearing in any of the comics from Archie and IDW Publishing [25] [26]. Nonetheless, let us count this forthcoming blessing known as “Sonic Superstars” [17] [19] [31]. And why not establish a Tamagotchi Nano starring Sonic the Hedgehog eventually, considering the ambitious amount of Tamagotchi Nano crossovers from 2017 to this year, from Eevee from the Pokémonfranchise to the loveable toys from the Toy Story franchise to Hatsune Miku [34]. As stylish as three new covers for the PlayStation 5 and the forthcoming carbon black Xbox Series X|S console look and as futuristically surreal browsing the internet with the Apple Vision Pro would seem in early 2024 [1] [12] [42], Sonic Superstars could be the next big step in cherishing Classic Sonic’s timelessness this Autumn [19] [31] [40] [41]. Now, if you will excuse me, I need to stay hidden in this cardboard box in honour of the 15th anniversary of the Metal Gear Solid franchise [11].
Toxicity and drama in a community can be utterly aggravating but let us keep spreading kindness during Loneliness Week [7] [9] [35] [39]. I know I will as I wait for the next episode of Helluva Boss [6] [14]. [31]

The SEGA Game Gear Will Go Micro For SEGA’s 60th Anniversary

2020 marks SEGA’s 60th anniversary [19], as well as the ironic success of the live-action Sonic the Hedgehog movie and the 30th anniversary of the SEGA Game Gear, SEGA’s answer to Nintendo’s Game Boy [26] [28]. To celebrate the two anniversaries and increase the company’s cred in a similar way of how the SEGA Mega Drive Mini has potentially helped celebrate the 30th anniversary of the original Mega Drive outside of Japan [27] [34], a miniature version of the Game Gear has been announced not too long ago [5] [6]. So far, The Game Gear Micro is raising plenty of eyebrows. I think I have a thing for analysing and stating my thoughts on smaller handheld systems. First the Playdate that has recently demonstrated its own monochrome port of Doom [8] [9] [35] [36], then the Nintendo Vita [29]…oops! I mean Nintendo Switch Lite [14] [37] [38], now the SEGA Game Gear Micro. It also looks like pint-sized versions of old school consoles might have become a trend ever since the classic edition of the Nintendo Entertainment System came around in late 2016 [30]. A miniature version of a classic gaming system can either be exceptional and honourable or…could have been much better [3] [30].
I have got to stop ticking off some Vita misters and sisters by calling the Nintendo Switch Lite “The Nintendo Vita” [29]. [14]
Apart from that, I hope many employees at SEGA enjoy the company’s 60th anniversary! [19]
The Game Gear Micro will be available in four different colours to further increase its appeal [4] [6] [25], similar to how the Nintendo Switch Lite is now available in four colours, including a new lovely shade of coral [14]. Unfortunately, I do not think the decent variety of different colours will make up for how small the screen is, how tiny it will feel in the hands of many old school gamers and how awkward the risk of having to squint to see it more clearly will feel [5]. After all, the whole thing is only twenty millimetres deep, forty-three millimetres tall and eighty millimetres wide, making it smaller than a Nintendo Entertainment System controller [25]. Heck, it is as almost as small as the screen of the original Game Gear [25]! A way to see the screen more clearly would be holding the device close to your face, which would be almost as straining as looking at the red and black gameplay from any of the games for the Tiger R-Zone [12] [18] [35] [36]. Did Sonic the Hedgehog sneak into Mario’s trailer and give four of his mini mushrooms to a bunch of Game Gears after Beat from Jet Set Radio painted them with graffiti [7] [13] [20] [33]?
Look at tiny it is!! [4]
And look at the four different colours! [4]
In addition to four colours for the Game Gear Micro, there will be four games available for each coloured system [4] [25], which is quite fascinating to a degree. For example, the black Game Gear Micro will provide:
  •    Sonic the Hedgehog’s first game from 1991 [4] [6] [25]
  •    Puyo Puyo 2 [4] [6] [25]
  •    OutRun [4] [6] [25]
  •    Royal Stone [4] [6] [25]
The games that blue Game Gear Micro will consist of will be:
  •    Sonic and Tails [4] [6] [25]
  •    Gunstar Heroes [4] [6] [25]
  •    Sylvan Tale [4] [6] [25]
  •    Baku Baku Animal [4] [6] [25]
The red Game Gear Micro will come with:
  •    Megami Tensei Gaiden Last Bible [4] [6] [10]
  •    Megami Tensei Gaiden: Last Bible Special [4] [6] [11]
  •    Columns [4] [6]
  •    The GG Shinboi [4] [6] [21]
Lastly, the yellow Game Gear Micro will include:
  •    Shining Force [4] [6] [24]
  •    Shining Force 2 [4] [6] [23]
  •    Shining Force Gaiden: Final Conflict [4] [6] [22]
  • ·  Nazo Puyo [4] [6] [16]
Reflecting on the fitting but unfortunate size of the Game Gear Micro, having to buy all four colours to play every single ported game on a Game Gear Micro may not feel all that rewarding to plenty of video game collectors since the handheld’s size seems quite too impractical [25]. Nevertheless, I suppose each Game Gear Micro can at least be a unique collectors’ item for plenty of old school gamers out there. Dare to collect all four?
The Game Gear Micro gang will provide four ports each. That makes sixteen ports of retro games that were available for the original Game Gear at the time in total. [4] [6]
I strongly believe that my boyfriend will choose either the black one or the blue one since both of those versions will consist of an instalment of the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise [4] [6]. [25]
The concept of a pint-sized Game Gear reminds me of the Game Boy Micro, a small model of the Game Boy Advance that was established back in 2005 [1] [31]. Sadly, the second redesign of the Game Boy Advance was a failure due to its lack of backwards compatibility and how it was released after the debut of the Nintendo DS [2], but it also came in a bigger variety of different colours [1] [31], including:
  •         Black
  •         Silver
  •         Pink
  •         Green
  •         Red
  •         Blue
  •         Purple
The Game Boy Micro seemed to be almost the same size as a Nintendo Entertainment System controller [31]. Furthermore, it is no wonder the Game Gear Micro will simply be a rehash of it for the early 2020s, despite having a smaller variety of different colours [4] [6] [25]. Another notable difference is that any Game Boy Advanced game could be played on a Game Boy Micro in any colour [1] [31]. How only four games will be available depending on the colour of the Game Gear Micro might feel too limited. Reflecting on the poor sales of the Game Boy Micro back in the mid-2000s [1] [31], it looks like the Game Gear Micro might be at risk of heading down the same fate.
Not even the Pikachu edition of the Game Boy Micro could rapidly increase its sales back in the mid-2000s. [1]
The edition of the Game Boy that celebrated the 20th anniversary of Nintendo sadly did not help either. [1]
Luckily, there is an accessory that can help those who have their hands on a Game Gear Micro see the screen far more easily and that is no other than the Big Window Micro [4] [6] [25]. Its name is quite oxymoronic if you ask me. Too bad the Game Boy Micro never had an accessory to help magnify its screen. Even though I could be grateful and appreciative towards how a useful accessory would increase a device’s playability, the appearance of it slightly decreases the appeal of the handheld’s visual appearance. It reminds me of the Light Magic, an accessory that would shine its light around a Game Boy’s screen to make it easy to see in a dark room and has a magnifying glass to make it seem bigger and even easier to see, even though it seemed quite tacked on due to its fairly odd design [17]. At least the Big Window Micro has a quite cool design as it resembles a television set you would see in the 1990s, the decade the original Game Gear was released in [26]. The add-on also does not seem as excessive as the Booster [17]. Sometimes less is more and one solution to one problem is enough.
The Big Window Micro looks like a television set from the ’90s, increasing the nostalgic vibe despite making the Game Gear Micro look a little bulky. [25]
What will be next? Platform shoes that have a slot to place a Gamer Gear Micro into? It worked for the Game Boy Color at some point. [17]
In all honestly, I would prefer to play any of SEGA’s nostalgic gems on the original Game Gear from the ‘90s [26]. I would not want to risk having to squint unless I am holding the handheld closer to my face whilst feeling a little discomfort near my elbows. At least I can always attach the Big Window Micro accessory onto the system.  Despite how the Game Gear Micro seems too small and unnecessary to many ‘90s kids to play on comfortably as fairly young adults [5], it will be available on shop shelves in October 2020 [25]. I do not think plenty of our dear Vita misters and sisters would be too pleased with a PlayStation Vita Micro [28]. At some point in the rest of this new decade, I would still like a recreation of the original Game Boy called “Game Girl” with the colourful 8-bit graphics from the Game Boy Color [34], along with a recreation of the Game Boy Camera for talking far more colourful selfies with the quality of an iPhone SE selfie to balance the nostalgic vibes of handheld Nintendo gaming from the 1990s with a little more female empowerment in today’s modern gaming society [17] [32].
I think I would prefer the Playdate due to how it is proportionately bigger and can at least show something refreshing, which is an appealing chalkboard-like aesthetic on the screen [8] [9] [35] [36]. [15]
Anyway, we are yet to find out how well the Game Gear Micro will do and how much it can honour the legacy of the original Game Gear. Will it sell decently? Will it also be released outside of Japan [4]? [25]
