I'm a little ticked about this too. Mac users didn't even get the CD remake!

If you really want to get into redundant pushing territory, Sonic Advance has an animation for it but no pushable objects at all. I think this is also true of the sequels. Makes me wonder if Takashi Tezuka was inspired by prerelease material as well. https://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/mario/images...

I hate to diverge from 2D games so early in the thread, but Team Fortress 2 has had a grappling hook mode since 2014. I haven't played it myself, but by all accounts it seems to be yet another game-style the development team implemented hastily, designed a single map for, then left for dead. (By my ...

Those .gifs makes me realize how weird it that Sonic has a push action. You only use it, like, twice in Marble Zone, right? Why even bother? Maybe, before they nixed it as an item, you would be able to push the checker-balls in GHZ down hills and stuff. I always thought it would be neat if the game ...

The thing about the Mega Drive games is that monitor power-ups take a second to "kick in". (I've lost many a ring this way.) Silv's second .gif isn't a bug, it's just weird game logic.

And what a loss that would be, right?

Ken can't expect to keep stumbling into court cases and winning them through dumb luck. I think his little scuffle with Archie has given him a big head.

They're definitely gonna have to reboot it again. I wonder if they'll use any of the Freedom Fighters? I know Archie still owns many of those characters. I'd really like to see something along the lines of the Dash and Spin manga. In my mind, that was the best adaptation of the brand to print, and i...

You know who wrote a pretty good story? Kiyoko Yoshimura, writer of Unleashed (and it's accompanying short, and the majority of episodes of Sonic X). Chip was pretty cheesy, but I thought the characterization of the core cast (especially Eggman) was excellent without having to resort to snark or ref...

Infinite's trailer is up. His powers include being a rival who is faster than Sonic and having a theme song from an early 2000s video tutorial.

I like how the DKC cartoon characterizes Donkey Kong and the gang. They're really cheesy, but you can tolerate them because they're just so darn endearing, like you're watching a goofy stand-up comedian. In Boom, all the characters are smug, insufferable pricks to each other, and I think it hurts th...

I can't say that I was ever exactly in love with the idea of an American team made up of generic 3D platformer developers rebooting Sonic, but it's a real shame that all their effort had to go to waste in the end. I get the feeling that SEGA bit off a little more than they could chew with handing ou...

I thought it was a fan video before I saw the official channel icon. That has to be an early version of the song. He sings off key so many times! They can't think this is OK for the full release.

The shoes could have been brought to him by one of the flying animal buddies from the world below. Knux is thought of as being totally isolated before the events of 3&K, but there were plenty of other animals on Angel Island for him to befriend (and, as Runners confirms, he can speak to them without...

I don't understand why they didn't just port the games to consoles. If they kept them the same price as they were on mobile, I'm sure they'd make just as much as the Sega Forever stuff does, and would have a much better reputation to boot. It's pretty crazy that you still can't play a single Sonic g...

I mean, just look at Sonic Boom! Bounce pad!

Neo wrote:This is exactly what the 3D games have become since Unleashed. Forces looks to be no different.

Well, that's part of it, and that's probably why the 3D boost games have been received so well by people who aren't Sonic fans (and why the previous 3D games are apparently now all 06-tier garbage).

Why are the expectations for Sonic so different? A lot of the time, I've seen people blame the "gotta go fast" advertising for writing a check that the gameplay couldn't cash, as if they expect the series to be some kind of roller coaster simulator. I don't think that's a valid argument, though - n...

Do kids really respond that well to having to read so much in their video games, though? I mean, if I were a kid, I'd just be hammering A and discovering all that shit out for myself.

Also, why did they use kids for Contra 4's focus group? It's a T rated game!

Fuck me, Neo, you have no idea how hard I laughed at that. ¡Mamma mia! Is... is the plot of Odyssey that Bowser's trying to marry Peach, and you have to stop him before they seal the deal!? She's very clearly in bridal garb! I know they already got married in Super Paper Mario, but I didn't think Ni...

Just throwing this out there: Heavy and Bomb are totally pre-alpha builds of Cubot and Orbot. I imagine the Bomb enemy from Sonic 1 is an even earlier model.

I wonder what animals are inside those guys? Are they even considered "badniks" by Eggman?

The spin dash is definitely a Knuckle clan tradition that was somehow passed down through generations, probably by an enemy of theirs out of spite, and eventually became common knowledge. Knux knew how to do it without any contact with the world below in S3&K, and Tails picked it up via imitation of...

If that thing is actually wearing a mask, it's either got extremely long sclera or none at all, which surely must be a first for a main-line Sonic game. I doubt it will come off.

But where was Mephiles? His title was literally "The Dark"!

New trailer. Looks like there's more than one resistance. You won't believe who's back...
