All-Stars Racing Transformed is worth the £20 on its own.

I'd be down for Sonic Colours HD with side-stepping mapped to L and R triggers, but I might be dreaming too big there.

So I finally bought Super Mario Maker last week. Anyone got any course codes they want to share? Your own courses, hidden gems you've found, anything is fine. I've only uploaded two so far, and the first one wasn't very interesting, so here's the second: 994D-0000-0092-7740 (EDIT: Revised version: 1...

I like that in this world there actually is a shadowy photo of Dr. Robotnik that's just teeth and eyes. What's the story on that photograph? The writer, Ian Flynn, talked about the real reason for this on his message board. Something to note: you never actually see Eggman during the flashbacks. He'...

I dunno why you'd ever want to see a plot-driven crossover between a series that's largely devoid of plot save a few notable exceptions and a series that's been pretty heavy on plot throughout over half its existence but is infamous for said plot usually being generally awful. The Mario RPGs are re...

Has anyone from Ancient ever discussed the Master System Sonic 1, or why they didn't work on the sequels?

Holy shit. Is there a video of how that's supposed to play out, or does it do that all the time?

This is really cool! Interesting that the Sega logo intro is essentially what we got for Sonic 2, but with the Sonic Band characters. Even more interesting is that the "Final Boss" concept art is clearly what must have inspired the Master System version's boss (which I always found much grander and ...

Love the blue/grey logo against the blue/gray background.

A listing for Mario Kart 8 DLC packs has been spotted on the UK store. http://nintendoeverything.com/mario-kart-8-dlc-leaked-new-and-returning-courses-zelda-animal-crossing-f-zero/ Each Add On Content pack will contain two new cups, each with four courses, which, in total, increases the number of av...

Sounds more like Golden Axe.

I'd rather see the Fusion suit get its own model, if only because I prefer the 2D Metroids to the Prime series. I'd love to see more alternate costumes in general, there are a lot of obvious ones to go for, like Dry Bones Bowser or Funky Kong. We already know that Train Conductor Link is removed fro...

I'd love to see them bring back the likes of Wart, Tatanga, Captain Syrup, Cackletta, Dimentio, Fawful, Donkey Kong Jr or even WarioWare characters like Mona, Ashley and 9-Volt. Obviously we're not going to get all of them together, but I'd rather see any one of them in exchange for all of the Baby ...

I'm pretty psyched for Greninja, it's by far my favourite Gen 6 Pokémon. Definitely adds more flavour to the Smash Bros roster than Lucario replacing Mewtwo did. But man, Zero Suit Samus has really gotten voluptuous since we saw her in Brawl. I think Sheik having noticeable breasts is the bigger pro...

The thing that bothers me most about the tape is that every character from the game cast (even "Marine", if that is her) has it. If the point was to emphasise character personality traits (athleticism, practicality and lack of vanity, apparently), they're not doing it any favours by applying the sam...

It's strange just how generic the power-ups were, given how jam-packed with fan-service the rest of the game was. The Puyo is a perfect example of giving representation to a franchise that wasn't a good fit for a playable character or a stage.

Oh, so that's where the Christmas Island bit (and Sonic spouting English phrases) originated, that's a great find. I love Tsukasa Mori's depiction of the classic Sonic pose - the slight difference in angle makes for a much more interesting visual, despite lacking the polish of the box art version.

Transformed isn't being ported to new systems, they're just finally releasing the PS3 and Wii U versions in Japan. It looks like there will be a few minor alterations. The character voices are Japanese, the blowfish item has been replaced by a junk Puyo and Danica Patrick almost certainly won't be i...

After all the talk of making Amy less of a stereotype, it's a little surprising that they're sticking with the Minnie Mouse-ish voice of the recent games.

Sonic Boom toy prototypes were shown off at Toy Fair: http://www.sonicstadium.org/2014/02/sonic-boom-even-more-sonic-toys-revealed/ It's kind of cool that they're making an Egg Mobile for the Eggman figure. I don't much care for the new design though. http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh140/vcrazyp...

Sonic, Tails and Amy shrink themselves to fight a virus inside Knuckles' body. Eggman creates a device that turns everyone into kids. Sonic and Amy switch jobs to see who really has it harder. During a bout of low self esteem, Tails is shown what it would be like if he never existed. Amy is set to i...

I'd always assumed the reason Shadow has red stripes on his arms, legs and spikes was so they'd still be easily readable when there was any overlap - especially important with a primarily black colour scheme. Foregoing the tan arms and tummy in the first place was likely just an easy way to make him...

I can understand them having 2 different continuities (like they did with Sonic X), but having 2 different Sonic designs seems a little baffling. I think the different designs make it easier to brand the two as separate entities, in terms of licensing (Sega already license Classic Sonic and Modern ...

I really hope these versions eventually make it to Wii U, PS4 and Xbox One.

Hopefully Sonic 3 & Knuckles will be next. The excellent "Sonic 3 Complete" ROM hack has most of the features we'd want from such a thing, but 2 Player Versus versions of the regular stages would make a worthwhile addition.
