@Detective_TeeJay solid? No, it's not, but it's definitely an ok-ish game, coming from someone who beat the game almost twice. Its definitely a low point in sonics career, but part of me wants to see what the game could have been if the developers spent more time on it
I think Nintendo should make a new Wii remote for the NX. The current Wii remote is extremely inaccurate and glitches a lot, with current technology Nintendo can make an almost perfect Wii remote that rarely (if ever) needs to be calibrated, and maybe a wireless nunchuck as well. Imagine a Wii remote with a control stick for better camera control, or maybe (kinda going out of the box here, but) a VR Metroid Prime game that puts you in the Metroid universe, and you can control the camera by moving your head around and aim precisely with the new, more accurate Wii remote.
To people who think that this "doesn't look like Zelda" or "doesn't have the Nintendo charm", you have to understand that this wasn't made by Nintendo, they're unfinished fan experiments. You're obviously not going to get a Nintendo like quality from experiments like this. For a fan game, the character models look amazing, you have to admit that.
Obviously more games are going to have lgtb characters because people are more fine with it now than they were back then. Plus, in most games that feature gay characters or avatars, it's your choice whether you see them or not, so I'm not sure why this bothers you in the long run.
I see that a lot of people want Nintendo to buy Sega...
You know that's going to do nothing, right? Sega and Sonic Team will still be making the games, the only difference is that Nintendo will advertise and maybe produce the games.
@TeeJay it's not that I think pixel art is bad, it's just that I don't think you can make an NES game look better than it already does. Because it's basically just pixel art, turning it HD would just make it look sharper, which honestly doesn't look much different (to me at least). I don't remember if you actually have to pay for it, but if you do then I think it's pretty pointless.
Yeah, but the thing is that amiibo is 60 dollars. That's the price of a full Nintendo game. Most plushes that size are 20 dollars at most, and apparently the amiibo technology is cheap because a pack of 3 Amiibos cards is like 5 dollars.
That plush should be 25 dollars at most, but Nintendo decides to make it 50-60 dollars. That's insane.
@Donderpants yeah, I kinda exaggerated there. But really, that's only 3 games. In 2011 they had Mario kart 7, Kirby returns to dream land, super mario 3d land, Kirby mass attack, skyward sword (that might have been 2012 though), OOT3D, and plenty more. These past 3 years were rather poor for Nintendo compared to what they did for wii IMO.
Someone's opinion should not be marked invalid because they don't like a couple of Nintendo games. Just because they're "Nintendo" doesn't mean they're not perfect. They can make bad games and that's all they've been doing for a long time.
@Aozz one thing I don't understand about nikki being in Smash is that she's already in the game, she's a mii character. You can just make a mii of her.
@Ralek85 By not everyone I meant that I'm pretty sure most of everyone who buys this game probably don't want to see underaged girls in the game. It's T for teens (at least I THINK it's t for teens), you can only put so much stuff under that rating.
I really hate when people say that the problem about sonic is that "there's a lot of characters" or "there's voice acting" or "they aren't 2d rip offs of the old games". The main reason that recent Sonic games are bad is because Sega rushes them. Sega didn't want to make Sonic 2006 bad. They just stupidly gave themself such a short time to develop the game that they had to release an unfinished game. If they gave themselves another year, the game could've been much better. The same could be said for boom. For future sonic games, I think Sega should keep the amount of characters low (sonic tails knuckles Amy eggman maybe more if it's a sonic adventure styled game), but I don't think Sega should keep sonic 2d. Sonic strives on voice acting and cutscenes, Sega probably won't be removing that in the future.
I'm just worried that if Sega makes sonic like the classic games again, sonic will become just like mario: boring, predictable, unoriginal, etc.
I'm ok with all games being downloadable on a console, but for a handheld... no way. I'm someone who shares handheld games with a family member, and, while this is no problem with a cartridge, it's impossible to do with a download. Thus I'd have to spend double the money for the same game so two people can play. That's just a waste of money when you can just buy one cartridge and share it with others.
If you guys are upset over this, maybe you should stop watching your Japanese pornos. It's not like there's dozens of other better costume you can use.
@davetheshrew Sonic CD plays just fine on touch screens, plus Nintendo can make a new twist on Mario or make a new controller that you can connect to your phone.

Either that or Kirby which is mysteriously absent from here.

I really hope Sega doesn't die, sonic is the only reason I still play Nintendo. If Sega dies, I'm done with gaming, sonic is that important to me.

The best announcement of the direct (paper jam's release date) isn't here, so there's nothing really of interest to me in the direct.

I actually predicted everything they announced in the direct, so the whole thing was kinda disappointing to me.
still, can't get upset over a release date for paper jam.

@Ralek85 Thing is in Japan the "age range" is much is lower.
Re: Nintendo Is Making Female Characters Cover Up For The Western Version Of Xenoblade Chronicles X
@XCWarrior The thing is, she's NOT a woman, she's a young girl. This would not be a problem if she was like 18
@Krisi I'm not sure if there's any 15 year old boys in this game, not too caught up on xenoblade news
Re: Nintendo Is Making Female Characters Cover Up For The Western Version Of Xenoblade Chronicles X
People are going to complain about this but I don't see the problem, it's not like anyone wants to see a 15 year old in practically nothing.

Re: Sega: Recent Sonic Games Haven't Been "Acceptable", Looking To Replicate The Past In Future Outings
@AtlanteanMan That's already the case with Nintendo. Plus are you even caught up in Sega news? They're making a lot of non Sonic games.
Re: Sega: Recent Sonic Games Haven't Been "Acceptable", Looking To Replicate The Past In Future Outings
@Insect_Prince so you just want fast Mario, right? Stepping backwards and stripping everything away isn't going to get you anywhere.
