Sonic Superstars Will Have a Smooth Frame Rate on the Switch
Sonic Superstars, the upcoming sidescrolling platformer, will run at 60 FPS on the Nintendo Switch, according to Naoto Oshima, the game’s development producer and character designer. This is great news for fans of the Sonic series, as the game can be quite fast-paced, and quick reactions from the player are essential. The game will feature four-player local and up to eight players online, and it will be interesting to see how it holds up with these features.Sonic Superstars takes us back to the 2D era of the franchise, where the gameplay is more straightforward, the story premises are simpler, and the character roster is small.
The game features just Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy as playable characters, and the villain roster includes Dr. Eggman, Fang the Hunter, and Trip, a new character introduced into the Sonic universe through this game. The game’s new character, Trip, was created by Naoto Oshima, and Sonic Superstars producers Naoto Ohshima and Takashi Iizuka share insights into how the character was created. Sonic Superstars was developed by Naoto Ohshima’s Arzest Studio, and the game was born from a Zoom drinking party. Sonic creative officer Takashi Iizuka explains why the next sidescrolling game needed to leave ‘retro’.
The game will feature new items for players to check out, a new festival, and new dialogue for the NPCs in Stardew Valley. The game’s release date is Fall 2023, and it will be interesting to see how the game performs with its new features and upgrades
