It came out with a huge bang, then fizzled so hard that Sega got out of the console game completely. Given that I still play my Genesis\/Mega Drive, Sega CD, and Dreamcast in my spare time, it&#8217;s like it never died: but it did! That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s so amazing<em> <\/em>to me that the Sonic franchise has not only endured but is constantly debuting on a system run by its former competitor, Nintendo. All that to say: <em>Sonic Superstars<\/em> is the main eShop game coming out this week, and will be out on October 17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond that, <em>Fotnite, Disney Dreamlight Valley, Overwatch 2, Fall Guys, <\/em>and <em>Apex Legends<\/em> are all running Halloween events, which you can read about below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em>Fortnite<\/em><\/strong>\u2013During Fortnitemares 2023, it\u2019s time to call in a vampire hunter \u2013 you!
