This is absolutely AMAZING. I got a big grin on my face while watching this. Happy to see Yoko Shimomura having fun redoing some of her old music and SO cool they got Hironobu Kageyama to do this.

Now I really want to get this. Hopefully it comes to steam

Good lord, this is so petty. Naka is a giant man child.

I wouldn't be surprised if they kicked him off the dev team for Balan because he was a big weirdo diva the whole time. I'm glad he's making it public how unprofessional he is.

Saying things like "We'll take the L" and using memes is a "Hello fellow kids!" moment for ANY company.

I really hate when companies pretend they're cool or "with it". Everytime they tweet something out like that, you just know it was a calculated business decision. Absolute cringe.

@AnnoyingFrenzy I deleted my original comment because a bunch of those recent ventures slipped my mind when I wrote it lol. So thanks for bringing those up!

I 100% agree with what you said too: "that Nintendo isn't focusing on the right areas to take risks in."

While they may be taking risks, it's in ventures that a lot of veteran/older fans may not care for. Some are admittedly pretty interesting, like Gamebuilder Garage, but a lot of us would rather see some old IPs brought back. Kid Icarus Uprising was amazing and it's what I would consider a "risk" for Nintendo to make. I wish they would do more like that!

Don't know what is making people think this suddenly "looks good". It's still the exact same boring game we've seen in footage already. Same terrible Sonic 06 combat, generic enemies, and uninteresting landscape. It's still "SeGa HiRe ThIs MaN!!!!!!": The Game.

Oh, but Green Hill Zone is in it, so it looks good now? Wow, didn't realize that's all it takes to impress Sonic fans...

@Dark_Isatari Fair enough! I guess it really depends on what you grew up with. I listened to some of the tracks in the prototype/pc version and they're honestly not bad! They almost sound more....Sonic-y...? If you know what I mean? They actually fit in more than the Jackson tracks. I'm more used to the OG Genesis songs (and prefer them) but I can totally understand liking the other versions.

Uhhh....yea, no thanks. Having grown up with the original tracks from the Genesis version, I can't get used to the "new" tracks. The Michael Jackson songs are waaaaaay better than what was in the prototype.

Sonic 3 Complete is the best way to play the game anyways, so I'll just stick to emulating these games.

@CorvoRevo Yea, jeez! People need to stop having fun so they can finally acquire "a life"!

I'm still not quite sure what that entails as I'm too busy having fun, but I'm sure having "a life" is waaaaay better than enjoying stuff!

Yikes. Claiming fans don't understand it and that it's not comparable to anything we played is a total joke. This game deserves to fail.

I want to be excited, I really do....but modern Rareware just isn't the same as when they were with Nintendo. Banjo Kazooie, Tooie, and DK64 are some of my favorite games of all time, but I don't think they could recapture that magic.

If it ends up being Banjo-Threeie AND it's directed by Gregg Mayles with a team of people who worked on their N64 collect-a-thons, then I feel like I could actually get excited. It'll suck if it's stuck on Xbox though. I would only end up playing it if it came to PC.

Lol, looks like this game is Sonic Teams latest disaster.

Can't wait for the full release so I can watch all the videos on this games jankiness. I'm expecting some funny stuff

I'm not trying to exaggerate when I say this, but this looks like Sonic 06 levels of bad. Not even kidding, I think this actually looks WORSE than 06.

I've beaten 06 and I can genuinely say that I think the gameplay of it is more enjoyable then what Frontiers has presented so far. This is extremely soulless, directionless, and boring beyond belief. I even find the repetitive piano music to be annoying.

Sonic Team needs to retire as a development division. It's mind blowing how they just can't comprehend what Sonic fans want.

It would be nice if this and Rare Replay got PC releases. I haven't had any interest in Xbox since the 360.

Inb4 le epic meme Reddit pig wins.

C'mon, no Spyro 4? It was even teased in the art book. That's the only thing I care about seeing from Toys for Bob right now.

I love the anniversary picture with all the different Shantaes! I've never actually beaten one of the games before, but I plan to one day. They all look very appealing.

This is so laughably dull and bland. Sonic looks really out of place in this game and it literally looks like one of those Unreal Engine "Sega hire this man" tech demos.

The enemies are super generic and uninteresting and the combat looks like Sonic 06 levels of terrible. HP sponge enemies and the way Sonic just.....levitates.....after connecting with an enemy is such 06 jankiness.

Also, the music is just so forgettable sounding. Sonic music is memorable and typically upbeat. This whole GAME just shouldn't be Sonic. The repetitive piano music, the environment and setting, the combat, etc, is NOT what Sonic should be. None of this is particularly good. It all just looks really generic.

Why are all these indie 3D game trying to (poorly) replicate PS1 graphics? Like, PS1 actually looked better than this. The textures in these games are always so hideous too and hard on the eyes. They come across as creepypasta games, especially this one.

Also the main characters design is terrible. Peak blandness lol

The Lechonk love is so horribly forced. There's nothing special about the generic pig.

If it didn't have a "le epic meme chonky boi" Reddit tier name, no one would be caring about this at all right now. You can't convince me otherwise.

Looks better than Sword and Shield, but that's not saying much.

The Pokemon series is the FIFA of JRPGs at this point. They pump them out way too fast and they've all started blending together. The gameplay barely even changes and it's not like they're worth playing for the story either.

I'll stick to good JRPGs, thanks.

@Orokosaki I mean, what does that say about the modern gaming industry? If all everyone's doing is looking back, then doesn't that show there's a problem with modern games?

I much prefer old games as they were obviously made with much more care, passion, and soul. They released as full, complete packages and weren't just about draining your wallet for content.

I think game companies need to do some looking back themselves.

Why does Sonic keep trying to be things it's not? Or just blatant Nintendo ripoffs?

I'm also surprised people are excited for this. It's looks extremely bland and the combat looks REALLY janky. And I mean like, Sonic 06 kind of janky...

I hate what gaming has become. Some game's objectives are now just "give the company money" with a "game" tacked on. How is this even gaming anymore?

It's like Level-5 went "how can we create the greediest product possible?" and they came up with this.

What human in their right mind would actually want to watch these abysmal live game events? I forget they even exist. The game awards are somehow even worse than the Oscars, and those are absolute trash.

Maybe if viewership is low this year, they can have a "will smith slap" moment too.

@Vyacheslav333 "Kōichi Sugiyama is one of the most overrated video game music composers of all time? Really? I didn't heard anything about him before his death."

All of Japan would like to have a word with you lol. Joking aside, he's not famous in English speaking countries, but Asia loves him, just like they love DQ in general

@Mauzuri Yea, the composer for the DQ series has to be one of the most overrated game composers of all time.

His music was super generic, unmemorable, repetitive, and annoying (at times). To top it off, he was against making his music orchestrated and instead opted to use fake, generic, crappy sounding synthetic instruments. I also can't even hum a single tune from any DQ other than the main theme. FF composer Nobuo Uematsu is FAR superior and has made so many memorable and iconic pieces of music. He's the king of JRPG music and one of the best composers in the whole industry.

As messed up as this will sound, I'm happy that the series will get some new composers due to his passing. I'm not happy that he's dead, but I'm happy that people with far more talent might potentially take over. Although....I'm worried that they'll just try to imitate his bland composition style 😒

@meleehunter "Super Smash Bros. Melee is not a complete game."

.....What? 😕 You're literally the only person I've ever heard say this. Not sure if you come from an alternate timeline where it released unfinished, but it's a complete game in this one.

This is awesome! I feel like there's been such a big slew of early dev and unreleased games finally seeing the light of day.

Those lyrics were really generic and bad lol.

Why are they even celebrating the 42nd anniversary? Such a specific thing to celebrate

@twztid13 Too many JRPGS have steered away from turn-based for some unfortunate reason. There aren't enough being made nowadays.

Not even Final Fantasy is turn-based anymore. It makes me sad ☹️

The game looks amazing! It looks like a blast to play and the sprite work is absolutely incredible! I'll be picking this up on Steam for sure.

Team Ladybug never disappoints!

Wait, is it not even turn-based? How can they call their game a 90's traditional RPG then?

All interest is lost. Plus the game is graphically pretty ugly. It looks like the Diamond and Pearl remakes. Gross.

While this looks pretty neat, it also hurts my eyes.

Wow, Inafune is so hilariously greedy and terrible that it's kind of sad. Did he just decide to stop "making" Red Ash and jump on NFTs seeing how it's the next biggest money making scam?

I mean, he already used Kickstarter to scam fans out of money so I guess NFTs were the next logical step. This man has fallen so far from grace that it's hard to imagine he had anything to do with the creation of Mega Man.

Not that I think the game will be good AT ALL, but what ever happened to that Red Ash game? Did Inafune just give up on it?

Because he should if he hasn't yet lol

Hazel is CUTE. Anyone who thinks otherwise is incorrect!

Also, most of these "ugly" villagers aren't even ugly. They're all just unique designs. The only design I would truly call "ugly" would be Tabby. Her face looks like it was designed by a child or someone who can't draw.

The hype surrounding this game felt so fabricated to me. The game looked low quality from the get-go and it ended up being so. Anyone calling it Smash Killer was delusional for thinking a Nintendo clone game was going to surpass the original.

None of those Kart clone games have ever done better than Mario Kart, so why would this? Cash grab and nothing more.

Mario Kart 7 is awesome! Easily the best handheld MK imo (if MK8D doesn't count). Some of the best new courses, especially the Rainbow Road and Neo Bowser City.

Nintendo did the same thing with Mario Party Superstars where they didn't show Daisy until way later. What are they doing? Why has she become some sort of, second tier character? You'd never see Nintendo leave a character like Yoshi out of one of their games 😠

YES! I hope they get what's coming to them. They've ruined the retro gaming market by driving prices up to an unreasonable degree so im glad that this might end up with a positive outcome.

Lol, pretty awesome you got to interview Mega 64 for one segment of the video. Those guys got me laughing pretty hard. When he mentioned he was excited for Scrunt and that the new Kirby is rated M 😂

Lol, it's funny that anyone was believing this guy to begin with. Why would one of the composers for SF5 know what characters are coming back or not?

Even funnier that he said he has a friend that is "very close" to the Lee family, only for them to come back with a "Uhhh.....no".

YouTube Kids was one of the worst changes ever made to the site. That, and requiring a Google account and hiding dislikes.

I used to love looking through comments on clips of old cartoons I watched as a kid. YouTube has really dropped in quality over the last 10 years.

Sounds like a terrible idea for a game. Looks like it would be one of those indie games that would last 40 mins and be over.

Also, why would I want to play as some guys dead mother ascending to heaven? Kanye being egotistical as usual thinking his ideas are all genius and that everyone would care about this.

The fan translation is incredible and one of the best fan translations ever made for any game. Nintendo would butcher and censor the story to hell if they made an official translation. Just look what they did to some Fire Emblem games on 3DS.

I'll stick to the fan one for the rest of my life.

@ParadoxFawkes Life should only be about the pursuit of happiness and if its collecting something, dancing, traveling, etc, then that's all that matters. We all die someday so do whatever makes you happy. I feel more sad for you that you find others happiness "superficial" and "sad".

The fact you even think she's just "filling a hole in her heart" sounds like complete and total projection on your part. Sorry you can't find happiness for yourself and look down on others who can enjoy life and it's simple pleasures.

@ParadoxFawkes Holy s**t dude, could you be more depressing and negative?

Maybe you need to get a hobby or some kind of passion instead of "trudging through life, waiting to die" or judging someone elses happiness. It's comical how much of a downer this post is lmao. People find happiness in many ways and you don't have the right to call it "sad" or "superficial".

You say "I'm happy when people get to live out their dreams" but it really doesn't sound like it.

@nocdaes Lol, fair enough. I don't imagine the quality becoming any better, but you never know.

You'd think with all the money this game has made that they would create new courses like they did with the original DLC, but it seems highly likely that each of these are going to be ports from Tour. I guess Nintendo chose quantity over quality

I still can't fathom how anyone can defend this DLC. 48 tracks or not, they're so poorly implemented, lazy, and lack the quality and effort put into MK8's original tracks.

I never want to play on any of these courses but now you're forced to if you play online. IMO, Nintendo's ruined the MK8 experience and lowered the quality of the game substantially by implementing these ported, low quality mobile game courses.
