Overall, really excited to see what this game will turn out to be.

Also, NX? Golly. Speaking of NX, is it me or does it not feel that long a go the Wii-U hit the shelves? Seems not long before the Wii-U and NX than it was between the Wii and Wii-U.

Maybe Classic Sonic isn't playable, but just someone who helps out. Maybe, but my guess Classic Sonic will be playable not because of how popular his apperance was in Sonic Gneerations, but how popular his gameplay was in Sonic Generations.

But still Classic Sonic is a character from Sonic's past and since Sonic Generations was more of a tribute game, well I just hope Sonic '17 won't have just a confusing story as Sonic '06 if you know what I mean.

I believe Classic Sonic is better off as a "tribute character" than regarded as a major one. I figure Sega themselves believe so given he showed up in mobile games as an additional character and Sega will only allow Archie comics to depict Classic characters under certain conditions.

We love the past Sonic games and would like games like them before, such as Sonic Mania, but the past is the past. (Though if Sonic Adventure 3 will ever be made, should have Dreamcast controls.)
