I wouldn't say adding new characters and events would keep it fresh. It is still pretty much the same game as before. Plus I feel like the novelty has worn off by now, perhaps the series should be taken in a new direction.

The problem of Sonic games on Nintendo consoles is that I can't play them. I've been waiting for that terrible deal to end and now that it has, the first console game announced is another Nintendo exclusive.
