Sonic Superstars Players Want An Actual Classic Shadow, Not A Skin
16.02.2024 - 18:19 / thegamer.com
To celebrate the so-called year of Shadow the Hedgehog, a new skin has been added to Sonic Superstars. Fans are divided - some think it's kinda cute, others say it's downright creepy. Imagine if your buddy was walking around in a onesie made to look like your skin, after all. It's a bit weird.
However, it isn't just the look that has sparked a debate in the fanbase. Some are disappointed that this is a skin at all, and were instead hoping that Shadow himself would be playable in Sonic Superstars. This would have been the first time we got an official Classic Shadow design too, leading some fans to believe that this update is a missed opportunity.
Some have mocked up their own Classic Shadow models, showing us what he could have looked like if Sega took a different approach with the Sonic Superstars skin.
Not everyone agrees that an actual Classic Shadow would have been a good idea, however. In truth, there's a reason why Sega probably opted for Sonic cosplaying Shadow instead - and that's because Shadow never existed when the Classic designs were in use. Shadow was introduced in Sonic Adventure 2, which used the 1998 character redesigns. These redesigns gave us the modern look of the Sonic gang, meaning Shadow was never around for the classic era, so he never got a design.
Whether you're a fan of the Shadow skin or not, it's a free download, so at least there's that.
Still, it's just a skin, and the Sonic timeline is already a complete mess. So, some were hoping that Shadow would be properly playable in Superstars, even if he was just a palette swap of Sonic. Alas, we just have Sonic running around in his skin - which gets even creepier when you consider that Classic Sonic barely even knows Shadow.
Despite this, it's hard to say that Shadow fans probably won't feel hard done by this year. The Ultimate Lifeform is set to appear in the Sonic Generations remake, Sonic x Shadow Generations, getting his own campaign. He's also going to play a major role in the next Sonic film, set to hit theatres on December 20, 2024. It might even include his dark backstory centring around the death of Maria if the cast is anything to go by - a prospect that delights fans.

Helldivers 2 Players Want Big Change To Extraction Mechanic
A new discussion between Helldivers 2 players questions why defeating Terminid nests and Automaton fabricators has no distinct effect on how easy or difficult the extraction process becomes. Since launching on February 8, Helldivers 2 has been on a wild ride as it became so popular that developer Arrowhead Game Studios couldn't keep up with the demand. As the population blew past expectations and server capacity caps, the developers at Arrowhead released numerous patches to not only continue increasing the cap, but reduce crashes, and implement features like logging out players who had become inactive to try and save their spot without needing to log in.

Sega Blames Mario on Low Sonic Game Sales
Sega executives have suggested that competition with Super Mario Bros. Wonder hurt the sales of Sonic Superstars when it was first released. The latest 2D iteration of the classic franchise, featuring a speedy hedgehog, was launched last year to average reviews and notably poor sales. Sonic Superstars managed to replicate much of the old-school gameplay of the series but seemingly failed to wow critics or fans, and this translated to a disappointing launch.

Sonic Superstars Hasn’t Sold Well Because it Launched Close to Super Mario Bros. Wonder, According to Sega
Sonic Superstars released in October last year, delivering the first new sidescrolling game in the series since Sonic Mania, though it hasn’t performed the way Sega would have expected it to. Shotly after the game’s release, the company revealed that the game had seen “a slightly weaker start than anticipated”, attributing that partly to the fact that the game had released in a particularly busy period that also saw the release of the likes of Super Mario Bros. Wonder, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Alan Wake 2, and many others.
