On emeralds being common: Yet, according to Tails' testimony, the Knuckles had a mantra passed on by oral tradition that said "there are seven chaos in the world and this chaos is power, and this power is drawn from the heart. He who controls the world is he who controls this chaos," and it is belie...

I think the two planets thing is nonsense Actually, I think G.Silver may be on to something. Maybe it's referring to the fact that there are multiple game continuities now (Prime and Boom). I actually recall hearing someone say that Classic and Modern are considered separate continuities now; your ...

The emeralds were giant at the end of SA2 though, and we don't appear to have gotten hyper forms during the Final Hazard fight. Correction: the emeralds were giant while they were on the Ark shrine. Sonic and Shadow removed them while transforming and they changed back to normal size, so this doesn...

More recently Iizukia has confirmed that the Sonic games take place on two planets (Earth and ‘Sonic’s World’). ...WHAT?! ...I'm sorry, WHAT?! How does that even...how would the characters go from one to th...and nobody's ever...ok, Iizuka has officially lost the right to be heard. Chris, thank you...

So chriscaffee suddenly appeared and we started talking about Sonic Mania and somehow my prediction of a return of super forms for Tails and Knuckles turned into the biggest Sonic lore discussion I've had in at least 5 years, maybe 10. I thought I'd stopped caring, but I guess my passion for encyclo...

I think it would be neat if they made each special stage different. We could have some Saturn 3D Blast, some Chaotix, and maybe some Sonic&Tails style platforming mini stages. All with a short boss fight with Fang at the end. Having to learn new mechanics in every stage could be irritating to new pl...

You have my sincere gratitude.

DAMMIT SMILE, LET THE PEOPLE HAVE THEIR HOPE.

What I can't quite figure out is the "join the resistance" bit Like you said, we're probably looking at a Bad Future trope. Eggman pulls an Aku and sends Sonic to the future, giving him plenty of time to take over the world.* Apparently Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Shadow, Rouge, Chaotix, etc., are all co...

I was totally ready to give this a chance until Classic Sonic showed up. If they want to do a serious story, they have to drop the ridiculous time travel shenanigans. If they want to do Generations 2, they should've called it that up front. I'm down for more 16bit levels getting a face lift.

Wow, this is an unexpected surprise! Glad they're finally taking advantage of the obvious talent that's been practically begging to lend itself to them. The visuals and the overall spirit are where they should be (though I wish the graphics were a little more HD). Whether or not the level design hit...

Sonic Dash, on the other hand, made it into the arcades last year . Apparently Olympics just got one too. You know, it just occurred to me. Microtransaction games are like quarter eating arcade games on steroids. They're usually willing to take far more money than would be required to coin feed your...

Since the ring can obviously be held in a Lego hand as-is, I can only think of one reason why they'd attach a dot to it like that.

So they can have 'floating' rings in official Sonic Lego sets!

That concept art is interesting. It looks like Sonic could smash bridges to access new routes. To me it looks more like Sonic is running over a typical collapsing bridge, but instead of just falling off screen the round bits of the bridge land below and roll along the ground, piling up against a wa...

I've suspected for some time now that their big surprise is that Naka is working on this new game. His appearance at SXSW and E3 increased my suspicion, though it would make sense to have him in the public eye for the big anniversary even if he's not involved. Naka and Oshima teaming up again after ...

Dimensions is cool, but I'm honestly more excited about the possibility of this leading to official Sonic Lego sets.

^ Some more promotional artwork for the 25th anniversary.

Whoa.

WHOA.

HOLD ON.

WHAT?!

...SMBZ is back?!

I love sword fighters, but seriously. If it had to be another FE character, could we at least have gotten a different weapon? Maybe a magic staff or a trident? Or something more exotic like a kusari-gama or chakrams? Or that scythe-gun from RWBY? If you're throwing a tetsuya nemura character in ther...

I finally found the ROMs. On a French site.

Found a few typos. We organised games by platform - Xbox, PlayStation, GameCube and so on - but that was [as] far as it went. When they asked us to contact us[them?] if the thing came in, I patiently took their number, then binned it. I'll assume "maths" was intentional. Women find me extremely attr...

Ha! I was going to ask if there were cheat codes. I may resort to that if Hard turns out to be too much. Nice to see the guy who designed the levels screw up that one part in Air Garden too, though you eventually got it right. I've never done the second room properly. In places like that I'll often ...

Wilfred flies so high that the world wraps around and he ends up at the bottom of the ocean. This was a pretty terrible run, but there were no other videos of it and I thought it would be nice to give people a chance to appreciate Stearn's vibrant background art (including myself; it's kind of hard...

MAME emulated it over 10 years ago. The controls were a little tough with a keyboard, but I still beat it and managed to collect every ring in every level.

I never thought this day would come.

I see a link to the GitHub for MAME/MESS, but I don't see the ROM file in there, just mention of it on the supported games list and the segac2.c driver needed for it to run. Where's it hosted?

http://www.sonicretro.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/SonicDash2.png Well, now we know what Sonic Mach 2 really was. Think this is a test balloon? If the Boom version of Dash does at least as well as the original version, they might construe that as being sufficient interest in the new brand to keep...

It would make sense for them to do that, but strictly speaking I don't think they'd have to. Obviously a Shenmue game on par with its predecessors is beyond the reach of crowdfunding, but a Megaman game? Even with the cost of maintaining an office and all that kind of overhead, what kind of salaries...
