Was announced some time last year but thought I'd make a thread about it since it's out tomorrow and I'm pretty excited. Playing the original Sonic the Hedgehog games on Sega Mega Drive with my sister are some of my earliest gaming memories, so I've been anticipating this ever since I saw it. It's been years since we've had a decent Sonic game and this looks like it's shaping up to be a good one - early reviews are already giving it praise.
For those who don't know, Sonic Mania is basically a 2D side-scrolling Sega Mega Drive/Genesis-style Sonic game, combining new levels with remastered classics. It was developed by Sega themselves alongside some developers of highly acclaimed fan-made ports, meaning it's highly faithful to 1990s-era Sonic titles.
