Gotta moonwalk fast.
If you've played Sonic the Hedgehog 3, you've probably noticed that the game's music is awesome. What you may not have noticed is that it's not just better than, but noticeably different from the music in other Sonic games on Sega Genesis.

Now, after a string of lackluster releases and a fall from grace, Sega wants to make Sonic games good again and win back lost fans.

Benedict. Cumberbatch. Is. Everywhere. Sherlock. Star Trek. The Hobbit. That Oscarbait biopic that's going to make you cry. And if he's not there, he at one point was rumored to be there, as in the cases of Star Wars, Doctor Strange, and Batman v Superman.

Let the trailer for the new Sonic the Hedgehog reboot, Sonic Boom, leave you feeling like a confused old person.

Sonic Lost World’s Dialogue is Pretty Dark, Apparently
Still doing what Nintendon't all these years later.
Ever since Sonic Colors ended the so-called Dark Age of Sonic, the series has returned to a decidedly cartoonish, light-hearted tone. Sonic Lost World, the upcoming Wii U game, looked to continue that trend, but due to certain bits of dialogue it's been given an E10+ rating by the ESRB as opposed to the usual E. I suspect it was written by Shadow the Hedgehog now that he's out of the spotlight.
