Topic: The Sonic Discussion Thread

Sonic? Bah! The only good thing that hyperactive rodent has ever done is bring about the existence of the mighty Dr. Robotnik/Eggman and the almost as awesome Metal Sonic. Why, the best part of any Sonic game is the bit where the annoying blue menace loses because the player stuffs up and the rise of the Eggman Empire begins. What really needs to happen is for Robotnik to get his own spin-off title where one can build robots and vehicles, destroy that speedy mouse along with all his little friends and then dominate the world! MUHHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

I actually have never read a sonic comic o3o. Maybe I should...
@Knuckles Dat... looks... liek... crap.

@Silver_Dynamo They tried that with Mean Bean Machine. I miss the days when his spin-offs weren't terrible and actually featured other characters and plots...

@Knuckles It does look pretty good. I'll likely end up picking it up, but since I might actually want to race online, I'd have to get it for the PS3. I hate getting third party games for the PS3...

Funny Story, on Sonic 3, not Sonic 3 and Knuckles, I was Super Sonic, Racing through Launch Base Zone, Act 2. And then I get to the boss fight. I forget what happened there, maybe 2 boss fights? Either way, I'm not sure. But Something knocked me out of Super Sonic, and I had 49 rings! I actually had to fight the boss! I mean sure, it was easy, but I didn't have 1 measly ring to become Super Sonic!

So when are you guys thinking the next sonic game will hit.

Im thinking next uear we might see another 2D side scroller with another story book style game and then the next big game in 2014 with a sonic the heddgehog redux.

@Sony_70 Why must you remind me that there is A SONIC STORYBOOK TRILOGY? We are still missing a game....

A Sonic storybook trilogy?! [youtube:WWaLxFIVX1s]

What happen to Sega going back to basics. they was doing so good D:

Anybody who hasn't noticed, they are doing a pretty good sale on Xbox live for some Sonic games. Seems to be about half off.
Just bought Sonic Adventure DX for 7 dollars. I think it's only for this week. You have to be a gold member though..

@firearrow505 Type "Sonic Storybook Trilogy in the NL search bar at the top of the page

I hope its just a RUMO[U]R

By the way, anyone know the lyrics to the Crush 40 song, Sonic Youth?? I couldn't even find them on Google. I saw a youtube video but I can't get on youtube here.

This man speaks e truth.

No doubt. Glad they are apparently bringing out SA2 on Xbox live. I hope it's got Battle DLC.

Too bad the European/Japanese soundtrack of Sonic CD is probably THE best soundtrack in the franchise history.

Chemical plant zone for life.

Because someone brought it up.
Fun Fact!

Dr.Robotnick's Mean Bean Machine is actually a clone of Puyo Puyo, a Japanese arcade game that grew quite the following in it's homeland, and was ported over as both Dr.Robotnick's Mean Bean Machine in Jan. 1994, and Kirby's Avalanche in April of 1995, the origional Puyo Puyo being released in arcades in 1991.

I gotta get Sonic Jam for my Saturn. Then Sonic R and Sonic 3D Blast for Saturn. Will I ever be happy?

I dunno, trying to decide your favorite Sonic music is the most difficult thing in the world. There's so much good music in the series and so consistently, even in lesser and lesser games.

Supporting me and Throw it all away FTW!

Going to listen to all sonic music this weekend and replay sonic adventure 1 and finish rush.

Tied for the best Sonic song are Green Hill Zone, Chemical Plant Zone, and Final Egg.
