@NatiaAdamo Sonic Mania was limited in the sense that it stayed true to the originals. It would have been interesting to see more new zones by the same team. I think there are enough options to create something that is not more of the same. At least the Sonic Mania team understand what makes a good 2D Sonic game.

Probably buy Sonic Superstar someday as I like the Sonic 2D platformers. But had just bought Sonic Origins Plus in the summer of 2023 which had a lot of content to play through. And to me it is not clear why Sonic Superstars had a higher asking price than Sonic Mania Plus and Sonic Origins Plus.

I don't think a Mario game that released in the same time frame had something to do with it.

Why would no achievements be a con. It's a plus for me. It's also not a standard on Switch. So it is not a feature that should have been in the game.

@Botty1973 Because it runs fine on the Nintendo Switch, no need to make it exclusive when you can sell many more on the current system. Doesn't make sense.

@stuie1234 This is Aspyr we are talking about. But yes, normally this is not a graphically demanding game.

@TyGuy they probably do a 1.6 cartridge version. But will there be a 1.7 update?

I would be interested in Game Pass Cloud gaming on the Nintendo Switch. Although it would be more interesting if they port games like Halo to the Nintendo Switch.
It is a good idea to bring Game Pass to every screen. But I don't see the benefit for Nintendo. I don't expect it anytime soon.

@Andy_Witmyer Why is it a theory? Or is it just a wish that Nintendo releases a home console? I just don’t see why Nintendo would do that.

Weird. The PS5 version gets The Darkside Detective 1 and 2 as a single product and is cheaper than The Darkside Detective: A Fumble In The Dark physical release for the Switch.
I do understand that The Darkside Detective 1 already had a physical release from Super Rare Games. I didn't get the first one so I won't get A Fumble In The Dark either.

Let me know when RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic is coming to Switch. Would be an instant buy. Not interested in Adventures and a Deluxe edition doesn't change that.

I played and finished the game on Xbox Game Pass this weekend. For me it is one of the best games this year. Fun puzzles and great art style. But just like Limbo and Inside on the short side.
Digitally I would wait for a sale. But if they had released it physically I would have bought it immediately for the Nintendo Switch. Hope there will be a physical release in the future.

Cocoon and Link’s Awakening.

Looking forward to COCOON

@Piyo I was replying to a theoretical idea that the wave 6 dlc is on the cartridge before the release date.

@TheBlayman Then you would still need an internet connection to check fit you are allowed to play wave 6 from the cartridge?

@Captain-N They didn't reach the space capacity of the Switch cart. It's just very difficult to put content on a cartridge that isn't out yet. I would have preferred if Nintendo released this DLC physical release after wave 6 is released. But can also understand Nintendo wants to target the holiday sales.

@WoomyNNYes botw+dlc has english.

@samuelvictor Nice! Just watched the Youtube videos. I am mostly interested in the first 8 bit Sonic game. I read the engine is built for PC and consoles. Will there be a Mac version?

Good luck with completing it for SAGE '24

@samuelvictor I was disappointed too And later watched the Japanese Direct. I don't know if I will import the Japanese version. In theory there could be a cartridge revision of the Japanese version when there is a reprint which could have all the updates on the cartridge. It would be much more interesting if all the 6 waves are on the cartridge.

@samuelvictor This is just a digital edition with extra's. In Japan there will be a physical edition of MK8D + Booster Course Pass. But it will only have the first 5 waves on the cartridge.

I think I also will get both, but not this October. I have a lot of fun with Sonic Mania Plus and Origins Plus. So I expect Sonic Superstars will at least be another fine Sonic game. But just got Origins Plus this summer so I will wait for a price drop.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder I will probably get next year, not in a hurry. But will definitely be added to my collection.

@Dr_Lugae Where can I find these load of other bugs? I found and tested that the game crashes when playing with Tails in Labyrinth Zone in Sonic the Hedgehog 1.

Most of the bugs I didn't noticed so far. Like the menu text shrinking
The Game Gear games look a bit sharper now, but maybe it is just the scaling that is corrected.
Turning on Anti-Aliasing for Game Gear makes it too blurry for me, prefer Anti-Aliasing off.
Also nice that you can toggle Game Gear sound to Mono.

I better wait for Sonic Superstars Plus next year.

Game looks fun. But I don’t see me paying 70 dollars for the Deluxe Edition which is digital only. And missing on extras in the standard edition is a good reason for me to wait/skip buying the game.

@HammerGalladeBro i can understand you want the physical version. But why would you use that cartridge if you already have the game digital?

But I expect it is the same game and that you can play the physical version with the already claimed digital deluxe edition content.

Depends on the review and if there will be a physical release.

Let's just wait for the reviews first? 360 era games are fine. If they would do a lazy port like this for Mass Effect I would be really happy.

@munstahunta Switch is current gen. Which console is on a decline? Anyway, what a great decision. Looking forward to play this game docked/handheld on my Switch.

Sonic Advance series would be interesting.

@a_brave_new_geek I don't think so. But Maybe only in Japan like the BOTW + Expansion Pass physical release.

But I would be interested in a Mario Kart 8 Deluxe cartridge that has all the content. Same with Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

@Grumblevolcano Why would there be a 2nd Booster Course Pass? I would like more Mario Kart: Double Dash!! tracks. But overall 96 tracks more than enough.

@Moroboshi876 is that not possible? I just ordered the Game boy Advance posters and the Nintendo Switch Card Case.

If it is the same Nintendo like approach as online gaming I am not worried at all.

@BenAV Last year they confirmed it is still happening. But it is weird it is taking so long. I also expect the just give up. I played the game on Xbox and it is running 30 fps and seems quite complex. I don't see it being a good Switch port. Waiting for the Switch successor would make sense.

Looks amazing to me since the first trailer. Looking forward to 29th September.

No update on Outer Wilds during the Annapurna Interactive Showcase. It was announced for Switch over 2 years ago. Wonder what happend to it.

@samuelvictor The last boss battle was more difficult because of the screen crunch. Reminded me a bit of the first boss in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 But with saving and loading it was doable. Fun to be playing als Tails.

Next game will be Triple Trouble. Thus far Sonic the Hedgehog 1 is still my favourite. I see it is made by Ancient. All the other platformers are made by Aspect.

Just completed Sonic Chaos (without emeralds). Feels a bit chaotic lol. But fun game. But it feels a bit uninspired compared to Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and seems to use the same music but remixed.

The level design in these games are a bit too busy. I like the open space level design of Sonic the Hedgehog 1 more.

@samuelvictor Just started playing Sonic Chaos for the first time. What is different with the SMS version?

@RubyCarbuncle I think the slowdown in the Game Gear games is the same on every platform. I compared the Nintendo Switch with the Sonic Mega Collection Plus on the original Xbox. There Sonic 1 GG runs exactly the same.

The emulation just runs the games exactly like the original hardware. Maybe solving those slowdowns results in other emulation problems?

@samuelvictor I had a lot of fun playing Sonic Origins Plus this weekend. First played and completed the Game Gear version of Sonic the Hedgehog. I still like that one the most, as it was the first Sonic game I experienced. Nostalgia.
In Story Mode I am over 50% and played through Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic CD. First time I completed Sonic CD.

@Banjo For me it is a non issue. While the Game Gear games might sound a bit different I wouldn't have noticed it if I didn't had read about it. What I understand it is the effect of making a mono sound stereo. You could change the sound to Mono in the Switch System Settings and then it sounds normal.

@samuelvictor I am only interested in the 2D games. But also didn't bought the SEGA AGES releases and the SEGA Megadrive Classics because I knew there already was a widescreen version on mobile.

I had that feeling with Sonic Advance on the GBA. Cool to play Sonic on a Nintendo system

@samuelvictor Looking forward to Friday too. Finally a second Sonic game on the Switch after Sonic Mania (Plus). This time I did not double dip, so waiting for the physical of Sonic Origins Plus was a long wait.

@LordBakemono I don't care. Just wanted to know if you were talking nonsense.

@LordBakemono game reveal was in februari 2019 and not during a Xbox showcase. There was also gameplay and a demo that year on the Nintendo E3 Direct.

That it was announced for Game Pass and later also for PS4 and PS5 doesn’t make it more special. The game will be releases when it is ready. Can be on a Nintendo, Xbox or Playstation event. Or will be announced somewhere in between.

@LordBakemono Why? It will be day one on Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series and Gamepass. What makes day one on Gamepass more special?

And where can I find this release schedule you are talking about?

@SteamEngenius Why is it for Microsoft to unveil Silksong?

If it has the same physics as Sonic Mania then I am optimistic. It will at least be as good or better than Sonic Frontiers.

I always hoped Sonic Mania would become a trilogy like the Sonic Advance series. But if fun to play Sonic Mania, Sonic Origins and Sonic Superstars is still a great collection of 2D Sonic games for the Switch. A few years ago I didn't have any hope for 2D Sonic games.

@Gamelore what is the worst part of 2D side-scrollers you are talking about?

@Daimando I would also be ok with Sonic Advance trilogy being added to Game Boy Advance Online. Or in another compilation.

@Sam_TSM Sonic only increase in speed when he is rolling? In the clip he is running?
