@Julie-Sued don't even get me started on IDW where the OCs are more like Sonic than Sonic

It's a very confused brand atm

@Zufolobelisk All these pointless moves Sega has made in the name of brand cohension just bled away fans.

They won't take StC or Archie fans' money, that is too "off-brand" to them but they're okay with appealing to the teeniest tiniest babies with cocomelon style shorts, and prime sonic who is a hyperactive uwu baby and movie sonic who acts like spiderman lite, totally out of character, as much or more than Archie Sonic

Very cool, they should put salty acorn in this!

Needed more Julie-Su and the Chaotix

I enjoyed the first game with a few caveats, I felt kinda bogged down towards the end and I felt like the bosses took way too many hits

Roblox oof noise

I love knuckles <3

Dunno what to tell you, Sega. Maybe pick a better release window next time?

I bought Superstars at full price and loved it

I love to see it. Really looking forward to this and I'd love to see Tikal in it as well

That's a weird way to spell Carnival Night Zone!

I did a big cheer when I heard about this, I had already counted this out as totally impossible

I would have liked to have Wario ported to 3DS if that was ever possible but I guess I can make do watching it on youtube.

Looks pretty cute, would like to see clearer images though

Muted this game on my TL so fast

Look if Nintendo just refuses to make something that fans want, it's their own fault for not reaping the possible financial rewards if another company comes along and makes a legally distinct game. I know we act like they're the kindly grandpa of the industry but Nintendo isn't entitled to anything especially not concepts like this.

May pick this up on a sale. If it's more like the early levels in the first game I think I'll love it. The game kinda got bogged down at a certain late point.

All I want Sega to do is port Skies of Arcadia to any modern platform and try to make good Sonic games, everything else is cream

Sandopolis Act 2 makes S&K feel slower than Sonic 3

@SuperWeird I also slightly prefer Superstars to Wonder, so there are at least 2 of us in the world!

@cammers1995 Ehh, yes and no. Sonic is definitely still the face of Sega and he's going through a bit of a renaissance era with Mania (arguably the best ever sonic game) and the sonic 3 movie

I like Superstars so much better than Frontiers.

But it should have been priced at $30-$40

"You! One more step and it'll be your last! Ehehehe...You should've seen the look on your face!" TK Baha

Continue playing it until there's 8-10ish good games that actually justify the purchase of the successor console

Yep, got my Amazon preorder in. I've beat it before but not for quite a few years, so it should be mostly fresh.

I realize it doesn't look the best on Switch but that didn't stop me from enjoying it.

Yeah I'm one of those weird Sonic fans that absolutely loves Superstars but totally bounced off Frontiers.

You're kinda meant to use some of the emerald powers to get hits in this game so the whole bosses are invincible for too long blah blah is overblown for me. Love the level design. Love the physics. Love Trip.

For me, this is only slightly less good than Mania, but I've overplayed that so much I'm putting a ton of time into this.

I sunk a good few hours into save the world mode but I am not really a big PVP guy. The gameplay loop of Fortnite BR is kinda too repetitive for me.

Twisted is the GOAT for me, passed a ton of time when I worked as a security guard LOL

But Gold is really really good too

Had so much fun back in the day with Virus mode in this game. Truly a classic

It's definitely time for arrogant Sony to be taken down a few pegs.

Wow, I got bored of this game years ago. It's such a repetitive gameplay loop. Each time my friend that plays daily explains that he essentially plays it like an idle game, waiting around till the end just doesn't sound appealing at all lol. Grats to them though

Seriously? Boo-urns, guys, boo-urns

Voted airship fortresses. Missed opportunity

Cuteness overload

Had good times playing this on my first PC a mac performa with cd drive

Honestly have been too busy with Superstars to play Wonder much. Looking forward to it though!

I'm tired of seeing that same "what controller are you using" pairing screen 5 million times sometimes multiple times in a row... let's make this experience a little bit more seamless in the next console Nintendo

1. S3&K
2. Sonic 2
3. Sonic Pocket Adventure
4. Sonic Superstars
5. Sonic Advance

8. Went in with no expectations and liked it a lot more than I thought I would

Hey guys, veteran of Genesis Sonic, the Sonic Advance series and lover of Sonic Mania here.

My general thoughts on this: the Nintendo Life score is spot on. The level design is tight and the perfect length, not too short, not too long. The boss design is fairly good. I'm not a huge fan of the auto runner bosses but the couple here aren't unbearably bad, there was only one boss fight I felt like dragged on a little too long overall. It's true that there are times when the bosses are invincible but that makes sense in the context of Co-op. I still don't feel like the pace of them is bad at all.

The game has a pretty approachable difficulty, it's definitely beatable with trial and error. I personally found the claims of difficulty to be somewhat overblown, I was actually killed by a mid boss more than any of the proper bosses although I haven't unlocked the final final boss of the game just yet. I chalk this talk of difficulty up to some reviewers just not knowing the boss tropes of older games. This isn't "cuphead hard" though.

The music is a bit hit and miss but nothing bad, just occasionally forgettable. I feel the game would have benefitted from a stronger boss theme.

There are a lot of level branches here and the powers provide opportunities to hide things everywhere so a completionist will have A LOT to find and enjoy here. I'm glad the use of the powers was restrained and mostly optional.

The story is barebones but cute.

I would say if you were a 2D Sonic fan in general and you're in doubt: go for it!

The controls and responsiveness of the characters are Infinitely better than the controls for Sonic forces (ba dum pssh) and feel wonderful and snappy, just like the old games. No weird delay or floaty jumping.

No game is perfect but this is a very good hit in the nostalgia. In my estimation it's only slightly less good than Mania.

Grizzled veteran from BL2 Vita here. Can confirm, that game was ROUGH. Even after all performance patches, still doesn't run well, super long load times, limited amount of enemies on screen, etc. Got to the end game only out of sheer grit and borderlands addiction. Glad to see this is by far the superior port.

My frothing demand for this game increases

It's a no for me. I don't need options taken away when including a physical slot really only costs Nintendo a few pennies.

Looks a lot more playable than the Vita version of BL2 I suffered through

I wish they would have made a traditional sequel to Worms WMD, the last great game, instead of getting sucked into the battle royale hype

So you want Microsoft to be the only company that gives a crap about letting their users play older games? I hugely disagree with this take on principle

The last released Advance Wars was pretty much going the Wargroove direction with commanders on the field (Days of Ruin.) They didn't die when killed but still a big setback because you lost a ton of funds. I agree that this series is the natural successor, I would like to see one in a modern setting though. Wargroove: Future Wars?

The mouse people sold me on the sequel since I'm a mouse lover

I have like 1000+ hours in this series on PC, comp stomp 5 ever

Three words: new mousefolk faction

Is this going to have random creepy elements like the other games?

The story is hit and miss for some people. I like the basic premise of all the bandit clans being united by Troy and Tyreen, some of the stuff that happens later is perhaps not as compelling but there are at least good quality of life improvements for the gameplay and the shooting is fun.

Never thought we'd see a switch port of this with the much bigger areas in the 3rd game.

Oh geez, the memories of wearing the respirator and pretending to be darth vader all came flooding back
