Sonic Frontiers wins an award at the Famitsu Dengeki Game Awards

As said by Morio Kishimoto himself. Pretty neat, huh?

For those curious, the other two nominees were God of War: Ragnarok and Horizon Forbidden West. Sonic outsold God of War in Japan by a pretty decent margin, but Horizon has it beat, so I'm surprised it still won despite that.

I'm dumb, this a big deal for publicity sake or just "Neato?"

I imagine it's a good boost to morale for the dev team, but game awards outside of that are seldom ever more than just "neato".

It's actually a pretty good thing.  For years, Sonic was never that popular in Japan and the fact that it actually won an award in Japan is really telling how much of an impact that Sonic Frontiers had on Japan.
