Re: Four Sega Genesis / Mega Drive Games Have Been Added To Switch Online's Expansion Pack

Fun Fact: Zero Wing uses the Cube Music Engine that was also used in Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine. It's hard to explain, but the engine does a good job at using drum samples while playing the electronic music. Go and have a listen to the music for Zero Wing on YouTube.

@Andee It's a decent shooter. Not the biggest fan of the speed the ship goes (think R Type), and it's a bit on the easy side, but still and enjoyable shooter.

I just prefer Battle Mania 2 myself. I doubt we would ever see that game know.

Re: Reggie Had To Fight For Wii Sports As A Pack-In, And Miyamoto Wasn't Happy

Reminds me of when Sonic 1 was suggested to be bundled with the Mega Drive, and Sega of Japan was not happy about the decision. It paid off and it helped Sega with sales.

To me, it sounds like Japan just don't like including games with the console. I agree with Reggie that while Wii Sports is awesome, it's not something I would have paid full price for.

Re: Review: The House Of The Dead: Remake - Control Issues Gnaw At Sega's Arcade Classic

Is the part that the Studio is Polish really important to mention? That's like mentioning Warforward is a American Studio.

Nick picking aside, it sounds like holding the Joycon like a gun isn't great. Oh well, might as well stick with the Wii version.

@CharlieGirl
The issues at least did get fixed with Sonic Colors Ultimate, and I feel people were blowing them out of purportion.

When I played with the latest patches, the one issue I encountered with the Switch version was Sonic fell through the floor and got stuck in the area where you were meant to be drilling. Only happened once, and restarting the level fixed the problem.

Re: Sonic The Hedgehog 2 Star Jim Carrey Says He's "Fairly Serious" About Retiring

@Nincholate
The issue is that Jim Carrey has given a unique comedic personality to Robitnik (which I'm not really a fan of). Something that would be hard for another actor to recreate if he doesn't return for the third movie.

Jim is in his early 60s, so it's not surprising he is considering the possibility of retiring. Still, I will be surprised if he doesn't come back in Sonic 3.
