Hey James, thanks for having all the answers. Is there an ETA for when the mobile site goes live?

Do all the Brits around your area sound as pleasant to listen to on a podcast?

Are you ready for this long post @James?

1. You said you liked my Mii of Knuckles, any recommendations on how to make it better, look more like Knuckles?

2.What do you think of my new avatar? In case you can't see it clearly, its a picture of Sonic 4 Episode 3, which I know isn't out yet/ even in development, but I'm hopeful

3. Speaking of Avatars, what was your avatar, 2 avatars ago, before your 2 face pictures? I remember it was Sonic related with possibly a Sonic stuffed animal with a finish sign Sonic would run past in the genesis games.

4. What would you think of voice acting for The Legend of Zelda if they went like Sonic Generations, where Classic Sonic/Link wouldn't talk, but everyone else would?

5. If you want to avoid a long unnecessary history James, just skip on until the last indent]

On Push Square, you said you had a region free 3DS. [When I asked why you didn't review Sonic Generations, you said you didn't review every Sonic game, like Corbie reviewed Sonic Triple Trouble. You said you were on Holiday/Vacation at the time, but you usually would have reviewed it. I asked how was that possible, since you are in the U.K. and the game was only available in the U.S. at the time. And you replied you had a region free 3DS.] Anyway in one of the first video's [the one where you let us see your desk] you said you shouldn't have shown us a black 3DS, with a different style back [or maybe its just a U.S./U.K difference]

Anyway, my question is why shouldn't you have shown us that 3DS. Was it your region free 3DS? Also is there a difference in the U.S/U.K. eShops highlights, like games with the letter r

6. Have you collected all the Super Emeralds in Sonic 3 and Knuckles? It is my greatest disappointment as a Sonic gamer to have never found a special stage after Mushroom Hill Zone Act 2. I was wondering if you could show me where some special stages were. But if you do this, then you would be obliged to play through City Escape and sign along to the song. So play the levels please.

7. Speaking of City Escape, which is the better version of City Escape in your opinion, Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, or Sonic Generations?
Now I understand that they are all the same level, but which version of the level is your favorite?
Also how does City Escape play different in Sonic Adventure 2 than in Sonic Generations Act 2 [Modern Sonic level] on the PS3/360.

8. Do you believe that the Master System games will become available on the eShop in the future. And the SNES and Genesis games as well?

9. Which is the better name in your opinion, The SEGA Mega Drive, or The SEGA Genesis?

10. What is your favorite video game system at this time, so Wii U isn't answer, neither is the Durango or Orbis

11. I know you have a wife, [congratulations by the way ] do you have any little newts running around? Any children? Nieces? Nephews?

12. Are you aware of the new Sonic Discussion Thread in General Discussion. There is one picture I know you will love.
Also pleanty of people literally said I wonder if @James will ban us for talking bad about Sonic.

So thats everything I have thought of for now. Thanks in advance for answering my questions

Edit: Forgot Some

13. Is there a Sonic Marathon you are aware of, akin to the 5th Mario Marathon? If not, would you ever want to try and start one?

14. What is your favorite Sonic Game? Sonic 3 & Knuckles?

15. Do you know why Sonic Team missed Sonic 3's initial release?

16. Do you get payed for working at NintendoLife, or are you not allowed to say? I'm not asking for like 40 thousand a year, but do you actually get payed for being a news editor on NL.

17. Your other job [at GameStation?] what are you besides the Nintendo expert there?

18. Is the new Flying Squirrel Mario [possible best 3 words ever ] like Knuckles? Apparently he glides around, like Knuckles, but can he change direction? If he can't Knuckles is the better glider, all around. I mean, Knuckles traps the air in his hair locks and glides around the course, whereas Mario gets 2 wings?

19. Last question for the night, Have you heard of the Irish Singing Group, Celtic Thunder. They are one of my favorite groups, and since they are in Europe, I thought you might of heard of them.

Thanks for answering all of my questions. I'll try and ask them more frequently, not in a big bunch

Are you a drinker? If so, what's your poison?

On a completely unrelated note have you considered growing a nice, thick beard? Something that takes six months to a year would be swell.

P.S: Thanks for answering all of our silly questions.

Knuckles

What would be your advice for someone if they wanted to work on a Gaming Magazine, like Nintendo Power, or a Gaming Site like NintendoLife?

Why do you think Sonic 4 won't make it to 3DSware? Not enough demand? It certainly isn't power, because if they have an iOS version, then they can even port it over. It would sell, even without 3D in my opinion.

Do you think Sonic 4 has a chance for a 3DS release ala Bit Trip Saga?

If you play City Escape, are you going to play the Dreamcast version? The GameCube version? Or the PS3/360 version in Generations?

What is your opinion of Knuckles the Echidna?

Why were you taunting me Thursday [yesterday] with Sonic Blast on the Game Gear? Do you have any ideas on a U.S release?
How do the Knuckles levels play?

Do you think that 3D Classics Twinbee is going to be released as a Club Nintendo monthly special?

New question

How much time per day do you think Knuckles spends thinking about you? I'm going with at least an hour.

AlexSays

Radixxs

@Alex I'd say at least 15 hours a week judging by his crapton amount of questions.

Jamesy: What's yer favorite DS game?

I've got the body of a taut, pre-teen Swedish boy.
Covers & Korg DS-10 Originals.

Knuckles

@AlexSays and @Radixxs I am just a procrastinator. I have been thinking of most of these for weeks, but just don't want to post them. But I thought I would help make the videos a little longer

If you don't believe me, look back, I haven't really posted much for @James, but I check back often, so I decided to post yesterday

@James Are you going to give me a limit to questions

nananananananana questions

  • Are you looking forward to Bomb Monkey?
  • Where do you live - is it more like a city or a village? Would you sometimes prefer to live in a more lively or quiet area?
  • If you had a time machine and could only go back back to one decade which one would it be?

So far, I got three questions for you:
1. In your opinion, would you agree in a business perspective that every revision should replace the initial build of any product by adding major features that the previous one lacked or would that revision be better off attracting a slightly different demographic of consumers? What's your view on this?

2. How is this so called Fan mail podcast doing for you? Do you find it to be an enriching experience where you get to see the way the different users' curiosity and how they come about to get to know you more not as a moderator, but as an ordinary relatable person; Or are you answering just for the sake of answering? So in the end, would you say that this is a mutual experience between the user and the mods?

3. Have you ever had an instance where you consciously or subconsciously envisioned that you were another person living in another life? Would it be alright if you shared to us what life that was like?

Wow, this episode was long. Thanks for doing this James. LOL @ your good lord when you saw Knuckles's post.

Do you use a specific cream or lotion or something to keep your face so clean? If so what is it called?
Do you think one day NL can become as big as, for example, IGN?
Aha! I'm not the only one looking forward to the city escape sing along play through thing, lol. Will you do it next episode? :3
Which version of the song do you prefer, btw? Original SA version or modern Generations mix?

Knuckles

@Mickeymac If he answered all of mine, Im sure @James will go to a responsible extent. That was a once on a thread kind of post.

@James Do you usually use the same name in all of your video games? If yes, what would it be? James? If not, can you give us examples of what your video game names would be?

Also can you come up with better name for "video game name" than GamerTag, and username.

As always, Thanks @James!

@James What is your favorite video game song and soundtrack? Also what is the best song from Sonic
Edit: Since Ask James is postponed, more questions! Can you recommend some good platformers on the Wii's VC aside from Mario, Kirby, Donkey Kong, Sonic, and other popular franchises?

James, Have you collected all of the Super Emeralds in Sonic 3 & Knuckles? If you have, can you try and tell me where I can find some special stages after Mushroom Hill Zone Act 2? If possible can you show me a few special stages after Mushroom Hill Zone Act 2?

Who comes up with the names for the sites, NintendoLife, Push Square, Movemodo, Vitagamr, and Kinectaku?

How did you celebrate Sonic's 21st birthday? I played the genesis games, one of the best ways to Sonic's birthday in my opinion

I played Knuckles in Sonic 2 for Sonic's birthday, and it was sadly on the Classic Collection. [Wasn't at home where my genesis is, and the DS collection was the next best thing for Sonic's Birthday] Anyway I had to stop, saved on death egg zone, after going Super Knuckles in Wing Fortress Zones Boss fight, I was all out of rings for 2 Bosses. So I am wondering if you could give me tips on the Robotnik boss fight, as it is now a 1 hit KO round. Don't mention Silver Sonic, as I can take him out 18 seconds after the clock starts

You might recall in the E3 special of Ask James, I asked 4 questions about sonic. But you misinterpretated my 2nd question, are you hoping for a new 3D Sonic Platformer? What I meant to ask was would you have been excited for a 3D Sonic Game like Colors or Adventure, but completely original. Not a 2D Sonic platformer with a 3D effect.

James, what is your process to writing a review?

Hi James, I am about to send my 3DS off for repair and I was wondering if you knew what games (if any) would be on sale for at least the next few weeks in North America. Also, is there any way possible to make a purchase without the system in hand? Thanks.
