............what!? <_< Not Sonic 2, Sonic 3D Blast, Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine, Sonic Spinball, Sonic Heroes, Comix Zone, etc. No, blooming Ecco the mother dolphin with one of the worst sound track ever.
@CharlieGirl
Beetle Racing Adventure would not happen since Nintendo would have to pay the license for the cars, and the hassle would not be worth it. Shame as its a good racer.
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.
This can also be done in Crash Bandicoot: Wrath of Cortex. On the level where you just ride a minecart against Crunch, just don't do anything, and you will beat Crunch and win. 😆
Of course, you need to put effort in to smash all the boxes.
Should I be surprised Mario Football is doing well in the UK? I personally didn't like what I played in the demo. Will just stick with Mario Tennis Aces.
I dunno. Even if the pandemic didn't happen, they still would have gone with this Mega Drive 2 Mini instead.
I get it, the Sega Saturn is very hard to emulator, and cost of making one would be expensive, but Sega should just say that instead of "pandemic screwed us over" response. <_<
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.
@Nintendo_Thumb The Donkey Kong 2 list for the US was extremely bad. The PAL version for DK2 keep like 4 of the good ones and put a much better selection in. The Japan list is also good if you can get a hold of it.
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.
@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.

Re: Yuji Naka Is Shocked That Michael Jackson's Music Is Missing In Sonic Origins
What does he mean by "Sega official uses it"? Sega maybe in the past did, but now, things are more complicated.
This is just an ex-Sega employee / creator reacting to what has happened. I doubt he knows the real reason why the music couldn't be used.
Honestly, I think it's just the right holder's being stubbon as a mule.

The DSi games you can download from the 3DS eShop are setup like a 3DS game, but run in DSi mode when booted.
So any of these 3DS DSi games could easily be put on a cartridge.
