First Footage of Sonic Prime Arrives in Netflix After School Teaser | Video SpotlightMay 3rd, 2022
UPDATE Sonic’s voice actor is now confirmed to be Deven Mack thanks to an information post from Netflix that has been successfully captured by Twitter user EdwardSavaVO. ORIGINAL STORY The first footage of the upcoming Sonic Prime animated series coming to Netflix has arrived. A new video showcasing a large range of upcoming shows in Netflix’s new Netflix After School block has brought with it the first look at Sonic Prime, and while it’s short little clip, it does manage to feature an accurate portrayal of Sonic as he appears in the games, running through Green Hill Zone. Check it out below: What’s interesting is Sonic’s voice which clearly belongs to a new voice actor entirely. There is currently no official word on who is voicing Sonic in Sonic Prime. Sonic Prime is due to premiere this year on Netflix. Sonic 1, Sonic 2, Sonic 3 & Knuckles & Sonic CD to be Delisted on Digital PlatformsApril 26th, 2022
There’s no mention of specific platforms, but it’s safe to say this probably applies mostly to Steam (the only platform that currently offers all four of the titles standalone). That being said, the press release does note that the versions of Sonic 1 and 2 released for the SEGA AGES line on Nintendo Switch will survive the purge, as will the available titles on the Nintendo Switch Online Mega Drive app. It’s perhaps to be expected, but still quite a shame. In particular the Sonic 3 & Knuckles and Sonic CD releases offered legal means to use fan projects such as Sonic 3 A.I.R. and the Sonic CD decompliation project. It’s also somewhat odd as the versions of Sonic 1, 2 and 3&K on digital platforms aren’t even the souped-up Retro Engine versions offered by Origins. That is, unless this purge includes the mobile releases… which would be confusing seeing as Origins isn’t coming to that platform. On the whole it’s a bit of a rubbish situation for preservation as delistings always are, but from a business standpoint was probably to be expected. We’ll forgive them if they relist After Burner Climax on consoles somehow. Maybe. |
