RE: Dream sequels?

I actually have two answers for that.
1: Sonic Rush 3
Short answer is that I love the Rush games, Sonic Rush is about top 3 in Sonic game list. It's basically the game that started the modern boost formula so it's really cool to play what would later turn into boost gameplay in 2D. Plus, getting S-Ranks absolutely rocks.
Long answer is more about the plot. Sonic Rush had Blaze going into Sonic's dimension, then Sonic Rush Adventure had Sonic and Tails going into the Sol Dimension (by the way, does anyone else call Sonic's dimension "Chaos Dimension" since Blaze's is called "Sol Dimension"?).
So what I would love to see for the story of a third is actually what comic book writer of many Sonic comics including being main writer early on in the IDW comics, Ian Flynn, had stated in a podcast that, if it were up to him, he would use a new Sonic Rush game or whatever story to merge the two dimensions together, make the Sol Dimension like a different planet or something, then that would fix many problems that come with utilizing Blaze's character since it's really hard to get her in a story not about the Sol Dimension.
So yeah, Sonic Rush 3 turns the Sol Dimension into a different planet or whatever and BAM! Blaze is now much more accessible and we also get a cool new Rush game.
2: Sonic Riders Revival
This one doesn't have too much a reasoning other than just IT WOULD BE AWESOME!
The original Riders unfortunately didn't do as well simply because it was a very complicated game (even competitive) that didn't really try to teach you it's basic mechanics. Zero Gravity upped the presentation and looked gorgeous but simplified the gameplay too much compared to the more nuanced OG Riders that fans of the original just didn't wanna play it over the first one. And Free Riders was on the Kinect.
Putting it like that, Riders kind of just tripped at the starting line and that lead to it falling face-first onto the pavement just from the original Riders not being accessible enough.
So yeah, we need a new Riders. I'd want something more akin to OG Riders gameplay, but I wouldn't want a Riders revival to put off new players AGAIN. So I guess get a proper tutorial in there, at least.
Just imagine all the characters we can have in that game. And since we're dreaming, I wanna dream high. IDW CHARACTERS!
ooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh
That would be such a good introduction to getting playable IDW characters in the console games. IT'S TOO GOOD! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
