Sega Announces new 2D Sonic title

[Vipershark]

Why the fuck aren't Tails and Knuckles playable yet Froggy is? Wow, just wow. I lost hope for this game already.

Also, who is Shade?

You missed the part where sonic team is posting that, and then crossing off characters who aren't playable.

froggy will probably be crossed off first.

Actually, now that I think about it, everyone on that list (aside from shadow) is a "sonic friend".

Perhaps knuckles and tails were purposely left off so that they can't be crossed out?
