He's on Facebook? I'm guessing it's friends-only?

In addition to Aladdin, I also recommend Cool Spot and The Jungle Book, which were made by some of the same team. Surprised no one mentioned Streets of Rage 2. Probably my favorite beat-em-up on the system, with a kick-ass soundtrack to boot. Second would be Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Hyperstone ...

You can't even use debug mode outside of a No Save file in Mania. Spawning Special Stage rings through the debug just gives you 50 rings.

There isn't a way to just play Special Stages through a menu, as far as I know. Spawning Special Stage rings via debug only gives you 50 rings.

I couldn't but laugh at Infinite's trailer. It really does feel like deviantART the game now.

I already do that and it's not even been three!

At least Sonic Underground had campy songs and humorously bad art/animation to look back on.

And if you tap on Sonic fast enough, he becomes Super Sonic. The Sonic 2 version, that is.

I don't know how much of the blame lies with Dimps, Sonic Team's supervision, or Sega's usual rushing of their games, but I never found myself really getting absorbed into any of Dimps' Sonic games. Not even Sonic Rush, which I actually sold not long after finishing it. Sonic 4 remains one of my lea...

I never played either Blinx game. Or anything from Artoon, for that matter. Blinx looked like a neat concept at the time when it was announced, but I didn't realize the reason he was dropped is because he was basically being called the Bubsy Bobcat of the 2000's. A rather unfitting comparison to me,...

I got mine Sunday at Toys R Us. Didn't encounter ANY of the issues people have been posting on YouTube about it. I got Zelda, and played it a bit. It was fun.

It would be hard to mention a company that no longer exists.

Konami bought Hudson Soft in 2011 (they own over 50% of their stock since 2001), and absolved them into Konami Dgitial Entertaiment outright in 2012.

These sketches are looking pretty nice.

I'm so used to the current art style of the series, I forget sometimes how cute everything was back then. So much more appeal.

Is that Eggman sketch in the bottom center a reference to that bonus Sonic short in Sonic Jam? Sure looks like it.

So it was basically Konami's Puzzle-dama series before it was one, where you match three of the same color? Eh. Guess we didn't miss much after all.

I love the long snout on Tails there.

Considering Sega didn't make those games, it seems not. Maybe they'd have to pay Ancient/Aspect to use the sprites?

Man, I hope that's true. All-Stars Racing Transformed was great. I'd like to see another go-round of the series.

Chikao Otsuka, the voice of Dr. Eggman in the Japanese Sonic franchise since 1998, passed away yesterday at the age of 85. His death is confirmed on the front page of Aoni Production, the voice casting company Ohtsuka worked at: http://www.aoni.co.jp/ Whoever replaces him has some damn big shoes to ...

Sonic Lost World's Wii U version got a patch, I believe. I remember one of the big things about it was that you got 1ups for 100 rings now, which wasn't in the original version of the game.

I was surprised by the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie myself. I mean, it's no masterpiece, but it's a lot better paced than Turtles 3 and TMNT were. The entire action sequence down the snowy hills was great, and a great example of something the old movies could have never done. The battles a...

Roger Rabbit was 2D, not CG.

I didn't think the Rocky and Bullwinkle movie was that awful. It was bad, but nowhere near as bad as it could have been. (Jason Alexander notwithstanding. I like him, but he was so wrong as Boris.)

I'm enjoying Mario Kart 8 so far, but if you didn't like Double Dash!! or Wii, Mario Kart 8 is not going to change your mind on the series.

Oh. That's too bad.

Would like to play this with friends on my 360 all the same, though.

Oh cool. Didn't think this would ever be ported.

Does it have Xbox Live capability?

I'm with Eserver; Zero Suit Samus is lame. She's only there for the sex factor and nothing more. Especially when there are tons of female Fire Emblem characters that would make for great characters in Smash Bros. over her instead. Hell, I'd even take Crystal over her. At least her using a staff woul...

I would've been content with having one of the clone characters (especially Pudding) swapped with Arle. I think she represents Sega a lot more than a second Space Channel 5 character.
