Today’s “Gotta Go Fast” panel at SXSW was mostly focused on Team Sonic Racing, but there were a few outliers, and oddly two of the most significant are based around the classic Sonic 3 & Knuckles. First up we have a brand new remix of Knuckles’ old theme from Tee…

Thursday’s reveal in the Detective Pikachu TCG themed lineup is… Detective Pikachu himself! Okay, this promo card wasn’t a complete surprise.
