As part of yesterday’s Sonic Central presentation, SEGA confirmed that the next Sonic game is in the works for Switch. But aside from platforms and a 2022 release window, not much else has been said about the project. We weren’t even provided with an official name as part of the reveal.

However, it’s possible that the upcoming game will be titled “Sonic Rangers”. That news actually comes directly from SEGA itself. In a press release going around, this blurb has been spotted:

As the current Tour closes, the Trick Tour, players can look forward to the next upcoming event in Mario Kart Tour.

The Wedding Tour has been announced for Mario Kart Tour, and is expected to go live around June 2, when the Trick Tour officially ends. Nintendo generally precedes a new Tour with a corresponding trailer, and we will share it on the site when it is released.

Nintendo Switch

The news will not stop coming for Nintendo’s rumored upgraded Switch model, and now an Amazon listing has appeared for the product. The listing is for a “New Nintendo Switch Pro” and it is being sold by the official Nintendo Amazon account.

 

This appears to be a placeholder page for the product, so there is no release date but the model number is listed as “dummyasin-nnsw-2021-014.” Whether or not this is a real listing will only be seen in time, but it is safe to say the rumors for the upgraded Switch model are in full swing now.

This listing was first spotted by Twitter user @Alphabeat_g.

Crying Suns

After it was just announced for Switch a couple of weeks ago, the tactical rogue-lite Crying Suns has landed on Switch. Find some footage in the video below.
