Re: ‘Sonic the Hedgehog’ Movie Sequel in the Works
I always thought Wing Fortress Zone had a very movie-like sound to it. It would be fun to hear any of them incorporated into the soundtrack though, especially for the non-Earth settings.

Re: Sonic Brick
I liked the interpretations of Mecha Sonic in Lego Dimensions . Would love for them get released as real Lego toys. Hopefully this one will sell well enough to justify more sets, though I'm not sure if there's been a precedent for that with Lego Ideas products. The Tornado and Egg Mobile would make ...

Re: Super NiGHTS Odyssey
I had a big dumb grin on my face the whole way through the initial trailer. It took me wayyy back in time, man! Suddenly, I'm standing in the middle of Sega World at the Trocadero again, playing NiGHTS for the first time, backlit with neon and pumping techno. I'm all over this like a seagull on chi...

Re: Netflix announces new 3D animated series for Sonic the Hedgehog
Man of Action isn't particularly encouraging. There's a whole generation of people who grew up with Sonic working in the animation industry right now, who know the series and understand what works and, more importantly, what doesn't work. The Man of Action founders are a generation removed from that...

Re: Mario and Sonic at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics
The Mario & Sonic Olympics devs really like using Eggman Nega. It makes sense, since he's an easy to model roster filler like Princess Daisy and Dry Bowser, but it stands out a little since, for some reason, he's never used in any of the racing or mobile games. I never bought any of the previous one...

Re: Sonic Mania Artbook?
It still has the "November 1998 - Now" text at the top right, like the original book did (which was split between the pre-Adventure and post-Adventure eras). So I see three possibilities: 1. That image is just a quick mock-up, and it really is a Sonic Mania art book. 2. It's just an updated/expanded...

Re: OK K.O!/Sonic crossover
It's a fun show, though I'm only a few episodes into it. There's definitely a lot of Sonic in its DNA - the villain voiced by Jim Cummings is more or less Eggman. The creator of the show, Ian Jones-Quartey, used to post on Sonic HQ back in the day.

Re: Jakks Pacific acquires Sonic license
That's pretty significant! I guess they're saving Ray and Metal Sonic for wave 3.
I wonder if Fang, Bark and Bean are available to licensees. They were all in Sonic Mania, but they wouldn't necessarily have created new reference/model sheets for them.

Re: Mario and Sonic at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics
It's similar to how Super Mario Maker on Wii U used Mega Drive Sonic 1 sprites for the Sonic Mystery Mushroom costume, despite all the rest being in an 8-bit NES style. Aesthetically, the Sonic Pocket Adventure sprites would have been a better fit. But it's clear that Nintendo favours NES Super Mari...

Re: Brothers from another motherboard
The Sonic Band was hiding inside the ROM!
This is the first time we've ever seen in-game sprites of Max, Mach and Sharps. It's probably safe to assume that this is how they would have looked (finalised designs and colour schemes) in Sonic 1, had they not been cut.

Re: Revenge of the nerds
The whole point of Eggman studying the Super Ring was to use it as a backdoor to Hidden Palace. At the end of the game, Eggman and Metal Sonic disappear inside the ring and it's boss fight time. You fight Red Metal Sonic even if you have all the Chaos Rings so what is powering him? I posit the Mast...

From what I can tell, Hamster have been releasing their Arcade Archives titles on a weekly basis, mainly focusing on the Neo Geo MVS.

Re: Brothers from another motherboard
I have to wonder whether the yellow and red Sonics were ever intended to be thought of as characters, if we were supposed to take the game's title literally. It's not like they're even given names or anything, and the gameplay itself has dozens of Sonics on screen at a time. It seems like the Sonic ...

Re: Sonic 2018
SegaSonic and Chaotix aren't that great games (especially SegaSonic). It's probably better for Sega if they remain unreleased. At least that way, they can keep a mythical quality to them.
