Would have liked it on Vita, but I'll get it on PS4. This feels like what I wanted from Sonic 4.

XXain... you are beeing the worst representation of a Sonic fan right now, theres no pleasing you. Look at the number of likes on the sonic mania trailer versus the sonic 2017 one. This is what people want.

After the initial stun i have to admit i'm really hyped for Sonic mania. Never wanted a Sonic game so much since adventure 2. If their objective is to rebirth Sonic into an icon, it is now very clear how to go about it.

Sonic 2017 is the disappointment here. Can't we just can "modern" Sonic already? Sonic adventure 3 was the way to go. That is the way to rebirth Sonic. Continue the series entries that made him great. Generations isn't great, it's serviceable. That's why theres no hype for this generations 2 with an original story.

It's sad that Sonic team themselves still don't quite get it. But the reception to Mania will definitly make a statement. Sonic will never be great again without a shift in thought at Sonic team.

SEGA is treating classic development just like they did with Sonic 4. Only difference this time is the product looks alot better. Is SEGA wanted to do something with the classic series, THEY should have done it not shoehorn it off to a Sonic fan hacker community. Its sooo unprofessional to me. Its so half ass to me. Its obvious Sonic Team is not interested in Classic series..So leave it be! Dont keep dangling it over our heads, with all these half assed efforsts. " We'll only use classic Sonic when he came be teamed up with our Sonic! A sequel to the classics from us? Lol no". Im not happy about project 2017 either. I am right with you with not wanting another Sonic teamup. Sonic project 2017 left a sour taste, not because people dont like it, but because wanted almost a year the announcement only for Sonic Team to give us a trailer that did nothing but confirm Sonic Team is developing a Sonic game. Woah. Without any gameplay were in the same spot we were without the trailer. Also, not just us, but alot of people didnt want a another teamup

I dont hate Sonic Mania and of I'm going get it, buts its more the politics behind it. Its bad idea to get the community involved.

Maybe after Sonic 4 they are afraid to try it. They do kind of show they haven't forgotten classic Sonic by having classic sonic with modern Sonic in the 2017 trailer. but, i do think that the hype for Mania is going to send a powerful message. It's too late for 2017, but maybe there will be a shift after it.

Really, i am hoping mania sees great sucess and we can get a trilogy of manias. I would rather Sonic team make 3D Sonic. But not the modern kind. Modern Sonic sucks. Its just a bunch of on-rails levels.

just disappointed that it isn't on 3ds/Wii U/Vita.

it especially doesn't make sense that it isn't on the 3ds. I don't know about everyone else, but sonic platformers are very fun on the go.

I'd hope for a handheld version somewhere down the line. Vita must be the only console not to have some form of sonic platform game natively hahah.
