The Heisei era of Japan that lasted for 3 decades is ending today, and everybody is looking back on the past 30 years.

From tomorrow, the Reiwa era starts. I wonder what SEGA and Sonic Team will show us in this new era!

SEGA Official looks back on 'Print Club' or 'Purikura', the arcade machine which was invented in 1995 which became very popular especially among students, and is now a part of Japanese culture.

Hint for next game? Nakamura-san's new tweet might be related to Sonic 06

News from 2019.02.26
Archived on 2019.03.08

Nakamura-san, the producer of Sonic Forces and Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), tweeted something that could be a hint of something!

His tweet consists of one arrow pointing to the right, and an image that seems to be a concept art of Soleanna Festival from Sonic 06.
The tweet style resemble that which he used for sneak-peeks of Sonic Forces back then, so it is highly possible that this is related to upcoming games.

What do you think of it? Could this be hinting at Sonic 06 remake or sequel?
SXSW is coming up in mid-March; they could be preparing an announcement for new Sonic contents..
