I have a feeling that they were working on Splatoon 3 and they were planning to release it this year or next year, hence the "final splatfest". But they got delayed by Covid so now they're rehashing old splatfests.
That’s really lame. No Swedish Mafia? Edit: I'm shocked even 2 people liked this comment. This is not a reference to the band the Swedish Mafia, nor the fact the dev's are mainly swedish. This is a bizarre inside joke wish my siblings that I posted here for my own amusement.
Looking back in 2020, wow this is sad. People would take anything at that point. Colors ruined Sonic. Awful writing, almost entirely 2D, one character, pretty bad voice acting. R.I.P. Sonic. 1991-2009. Edit: replayed it. It is fun, but my criticisms stand. Edit again, March 3rd 2022: Yeah this game is pretty good. I was going through my “I hate all post 2009 Sonic games” phase. I don’t even play Sonic that much anymore, but I was 13 back then. Anyway, Colors is a great game. Still don’t like how 2D it is, and the writing is still worse than almost anything pre-2010, but the game itself is a fun time! I like the level design, it has good controls, it’s a great game! Just a little simple. But yeah, if anyone ever reads this, this is kind of an interesting documentation of my life since I wrote this.
@Maulbert Sonic 1, 2, CD, Sonic 3K, Adventure, Adventure 2, Advance, Advance 3, Battle, Rush, Unleashed, Rush 2, Rush 3/Colors DS, Colors, Generations, and Mania. And those are just the ones generally considered good, excluding my more controversial picks.
It’s already the worst version. I bought it for actual physical inputs on mobile Minecraft. Ended up getting the vita version. It’s lacking new stuff, but at least it’s functional!
I love Sonic so much, but I only find 2D Sonic mildly fun at best, compared to the Adventure formula. Plus they stopped rereleasing 3&K, and tbh Sonic 1 and 2 haven’t aged well in my opinion. There so trial and error based that it turns me off from ever getting past Marble Zone and Oil Ocean. Thanks for the variety SEGA!
@MeowMeowKins @MeowMeowKins The reason I like 06 is because it tried to be something. It’s the antithesis of Forces. Forces is a bad game because it’s literally a empty game. It played it too safe to be fun. Which is sad because the marketing showed all these classic Sonic villains (classic as in iconic, not like Classic Sonic), and never used any of them except Zavok, who’s literally the worst Sonic villain. The game pretended it would be the game to bring back the Dreamcast and dark age stuff people love, but it’s the same play-it-safe philosophy as Colors. Colors used that to its advantage, being a soft reboot basically, to ease in new fans after a slew of “convoluted” games. But after so 7 years of that stuff, Forces was a shining hope (oh. oh no. I accidentally referenced the game.) in many peoples minds, promising to be the game to try new stuff. This was a lie.
Anyway, 06 was going to be a soft reboot, like Colors. The game took risks, adding three major characters: Silver, Elise, and Memphis (Mephiles, if you must). Silver was a hedgehog from a ruined future, who was tricked by Mephiles to think Sonic was the Iblis Trigger. Iblis is the destructive entity of the week, who destroyed the world in Silver’s time. Elise is the actual Iblis trigger. That’s the basic story premise. The gameplay builds off of Adventure 2 and Shadow. It’s good.
But everything in this game is hindered by the rush. This game HAD to be out before two artificial deadlines: Sonic’s 15th anniversary which only Sega cared about, and Christmas. As a result the game is so broken it’s almost unplayable sometimes, not to mention the sometimes minute long loading screens. But the story, gameplay, graphics (besides NPCs) and music are all there. The game was something, which you can’t say about Forces.
That is scummy. I was going to buy the $20 version with the same resolution and almost the same content but now I’m being forced to buy the $60 version.
@WesEds Oh trust me, NOTHING has changed. Now you can move in more than four directions, and when you fight even Pokémon that weren’t sent out get a little bit of XP, to make grinding less obnoxious. I’d recommend getting SS. There good games, and if you haven’t played since Gen 3 it shouldn’t matter that you can’t bring over some Pokémon.
@Bunkerneath From where I live, a plane to Tokyo and one ticket to Universal Japan is $724 and 81 cents. That’s very pricey, but still cheaper than a new iPhone.
@Wilforce wait really?! I bought it at launch when it was new. I beat it, loved and immediately grew out of the series. I know what I’m doing tomorrow.
@Clammy Sonic has a bible: “only Tails and Eggman can be inventors.” and stuff like “Sonic can only lose temporarily, and he can’t be stressed or cry.” It’s not helping much.
@theinstruct0r that’s six games. And two of them are relatively niche (if fun) mini game collections. The rest are DLC and third party. This is about NINTENDO, not Atlus and a bunch of indies

Re: Frame Rate And Resolution For Pikmin 3 Deluxe Demo Seemingly Revealed
