Next Sonic game revealed

The next Sonic game has been revealed via a screenshot on twitter. Yes, we don't usually report on twitter stuff because it's hilariously unreliable, but it's the confirmed Sega account and it's Sonic, my favourite game character in all the world. Sonic 1, 2 and 3 were my favourite games growing up, and I loved running to the right as quickly as possible. Sure Sonic's had a rough run in the last couple of years... ok, maybe the last decade... nearly two decades - but like any believer I'll still hold out hope for the next game. Let's see what Sega has to show us of the next Sonic game.



Oh. Its a Doodle Jump clone called Sonic Jump. That makes perfect sense. Sonic was all about jumping upwards. Do you remember how occasionally there'd be a section in the game - probably in Labyrinth Zone - where you had to jump up ahead of some water for 15 seconds or something. This takes the true essence of that minuscule part of a Sonic game and puts it on your phone!

I have some other ideas for great new mobile games. A Mario themed Temple Run clone called Mario Run. An adventure game version of Frogger. Crash Bandicoot Angry Birds. A Match-3 Street Fighter. Wait.

Oh Sonic. I wish I knew how to quit you.
