Wanted a New Sonic? Prepare for Disappointment
A lot has been made of yesterday’s report that indicated key members of Sonic Team would sit in on a special 24 hour long Internet livestream Sega was producing for this weekend. TSSZ has now translated the exact contents of that stream as Sega has promoted it, and it may be much ado about nothing.
We asked our Japan correspondent Danny Russell to afford a proper translation of the Sonic Team session listing as shown here. The translation indicates the time will most likely be spent as a retrospective than anything else:
90 minutes devoted to indulging in Sonic. Relive Sonic history and classic SEGA hardware.
That doesn’t necessarily mean something major won’t be announced at the session–or that something major won’t be announced over the course of the weekend, with Saturday known to many fans as Hedgehog Day–but this may be nothing more than a playthrough of classic Sonic fare by the main team themselves, and we now have far less confidence today this will be the announcement fans have been waiting for. We’ll still keep watch of the livestream for you this weekend, but it may be best to hop off the hype train for now.

Isn’t that basically what Nintendo did when they announced Pokemon X & Y?
Um TSSZ think about it they’re reliving Sonic’s past games to hype us up for the end when they announce the next sonic game similar to what Nintendo did when they announced Pokemon X and Pokemon Y I dont think they would book a long ass live stream just to talk about the classics
I don’t get it, SEGA.
You just had a 20th Anniversary game.
Which had behind-the-scenes footage with interviews.
And that’s not including the other BTS Sonic video that was done by you guys from…..uh..fuck, I forget the name.
SO REALLY how many times can you guys pat yourselves on the back saying “Yeah we did that shit, gg guys” over and over again? FFS.
I don’t think the chances of something new being announced have been lowered too much. Game Freak announced the new Pokemon games a few weeks ago, but only after a while of reminiscing on the franchise’s history first.

Buzzkill. (Keep up the good work, drive that hype down!)
LOL, being dissappointed because a japanese livestream won´t announce a Sonic game.
since sega said awhile back that they plan to re release several sonic games for digital download this year i really hope they re release shadow the hedgehog i just found my copy of it after losing it 2 years ago and its so *bleep*ed up that i cant play it
someone cann explain me what i need to do for watch the livestream? (sorry for the bad english level
)
Sega Store products confirmed. Nothing more than a Sonic history lesson and a chat with the SA2 staff.
i hope it’s an origin story, if it is then things could get intresting
