Okay, I'm pretty late to the game and Jesus Christ do I love the look of this, remade sprites, possibly new shields, loops are now a thing in SRB2, weight and A PLAYABLE BIG THE CAT, WOO! In all seriousness I love what I'm looking at here, even though it's an April Fools prank/joke. I highly doubt there be actually new shields, and I definitely doubt there will be a playable 4th character, In this case Big. (Sonic & Tails together obviously doesn't count.) And I love the pun in the title, "A Big Announcement".
