Sonic Superstars release date

Pour one out for your hedgehog homie, Sonic Superstars is set to release into the most packed month we have seen this year, October.

Sonic Superstars will release just three days before Spider-Man 2 and Super Mario Wonder! Considering Mario will also be a 2D platformer focusing on 4 player co-op, it will really be in direct competition with Sonic.
