@RubyCarbuncle The hype is real. It looks fun. But I wouldn’t say it looks ways better than Sonic Mania. I rather have Sonic Mania 2 by Christian Whitehead and his team. The other Sonic games in the last few years weren’t that great. But I do hope that Sonic Team can still make a great 2D platformer.
Crazy. What a huge difference compared to Sonic Mania Plus, which was made by fans for fans. I already pre-ordered the game. Probably keep it. There is no other way to play these Game Gear titles on the Nintendo Switch. But as a physical collector who prefers to have all the content on the cartridge this is just stupid.
@evan23 KOTOR 2 has native controller support, KOTOR 1 does not. No experience with the Steam Deck. But played the Steam version of KOTOR 2 on my Macbook with an Xbox controller.
@Krysus LRG games are almost always delayed? But when you could pre-order the game from LRG it never said it would contain the DLC on the cartridge. If the description page doesn't mention the Restored Content DLC it is just wishful thinking.
Nice for the fans. But I don’t like special editions. I already have the Switch OLED with the white Joy-cons and I think that one is more beautiful. Thus far I find the different Pro Controller designs boring, I like to see more colors like Xbox and Playstation have.
@Bunkerneath I don't know if you have the same problem I had. But yes it could be possible that the system is screwing up and the order will still be send.
@Bunkerneath @RudyC3 You can't find the order in your account? I had the same problem till last week, somehow solved now. But couldn't see my order and past orders. But the SNES controllers I ordered this week have arrived.
@Everythingnotsaved The SNES controllers I ordered directly when they were available and they arrived Thursday in the Netherlands. Also just ordered the N64 controller.
@kr0n0tu You can expect that because they release all 12 Game Gear titles. If they where recreated in Christian Whiteheads Engine I would only expect Sonic 1 and 2.
@ketrac I would say that about the N64 controller. But the SNES controller is great for 2D platformers and metroidvania games like Hollow Knight. It has a better D-pad than the Pro controller.
I think with all the features that NSO supports it is fine to have the Pokemon games with the ability to trade Pokemon between Switches. The same experience as in the 90's. Pokemon HOME support is not needed and would solve problems with cloning etc. Just keep the Pokemon games experience separated from the new Pokemon games.
@Hayter I understand the convenience of having it all on a SD card. But do you finish 58 games in one trip? I can fit 5 extra cartridges in my Switch case and for me that is more than enough on a trip.
The problem with these Switch releases is that it only has English voices. While the Steam versions also have German, French, Russian, Dutch, Norwegian and Swedish.
If you buy it for nostalgia I think it is important that the voices are the same as you experienced the game as a child.
Weird random collection. When are they going to release Freddi Fish 1 and 2 on the eshop?
I am not sure if it should be more than a 4. Therefore I should buy the game and try it out for myself, but I was never interested in the 3D Sonic games. The people who buy 3D Sonic games anyway will say it is an 8. But if you bought the game before the reviews are out what does it matter?
@Dr_Luigi Lol, you are both monsters. But if he gives you the boxes you can just buy games on the eshop and don't have to wish for more empty box releases.
@Bizzyb Maybe so, but it isn't like their communication was better before they where removed from the KOTOR remake. For me this is just another confirmation that Aspyr shouldn't try making new games and just focus on improving making ports. There is also no excuse to promise a DLC coming soon and then fail to deliver without any communication. People bought this game because it would get the Restored Content. If it is delayed then that is fine, but they should keep us up to date.
I bought the Skywalker Saga Deluxe Edition which comes with the 7 character packs. But I didn't like the DLC characters because the didn't have (new) voices. I really like the movie Rogue One, but it wasn't fun to play with those characters. Maybe they made these new character packs better?
First Mario Kart game I played was Mario Kart 64. A friend of mine had a N64. My first own Mario Kart game was Mario Kart Super Circuit. Bought the Game Boy Advance on release date. Mario Kart Super Circuit was released later, but also had a lot of fun with the kart racer game Konami Krazy Racers.
I still want to see the GameCube tracks Dino Dino Jungle, Daisy Cruiser and DK Mountain. If the details about future DLC tracks are correct we have one GameCube track each next wave. Dino Dino Jungle seems likely as it is already present in Mario Kart Tour.
I didn’t double dip. I was waiting for these wide screen versions to come to Switch. Didn’t make sense to release the older versions when iOS/Android Sonic games had wide screen support for years. So this will be my second Sonic purchase after Sonic Mania. It looks great, but for me the price is too expensive for a digital only release. I expect them to announce a physical release at later date. I already waited years the wide screen versions coming to Switch, can wait a bit longer.
@samuelvictor Good points. And the knowledge you share is informative.
When can we expect a physical release though? I think sometime next year. A Sonic Origins Plus physical release. I am a bit annoyed that it is currently released as a digital release only. With Sonic Mania in 2017 I could understand. The Switch still had to prove itself and releasing a game digital had less risk than a physical release. I bought the game digital a week before the announcement of the physical release. While I look forward to Sonic Origins I don't think I will buy it on release day. Probably waiting for a physical release. First finishing the games I already bought.
@Andy_C444 To me it seems he is trolling. Or he is really deluded. It just doesn't make sense. I also didn't know he had this conversation with @samuelvictor since April on different Sonic Origins news items. As long as you keep replying to him he will continue. It is better to just ignore. And there is also an ignore button if you don't want to read his posts.
I only played Lego City Undercover before this Lego game. I played it for 90 hours thus far and the game was definitely worth my money. Playing through the story is great. But I find the collectathon part of the game too much. 50% of the Kyber Bricks in the game would have been enough. Also the upgrades you buy with the Kyber Bricks doesn't seem to change the gameplay much.
I currently have played through 5 Episodes and Galaxy Freeplay mode is completed 45%.
@timwright42 Before or after the update? And do you quit the game after playing or keep the game on in standby? Haven't experienced these problems myself.
Annoying they still didn't fix the notification dots, these yellow dots keep coming back.
@Nintendofanatic94 Not going to argue. There is no physical release in June. Just stating the fact. No need to set yourself up for disappointment. I think you are a bit too fanatic.

Re: Round Up: The First Impressions Of Sonic Superstars Are In
@LikelySatan Nintendolife said it was Poor 4/10
But if you enjoy Frontiers that is fine. But I am not a fan of the 3D games. I think Sonic works better in 2D.
Re: Round Up: The First Impressions Of Sonic Superstars Are In
Looks like they are finally making a good Sonic game after Sonic Mania.

Re: Nintendo Switch Is Not "Technically Capable" Of Running Call Of Duty Games, Says CMA
Ofcourse the Switch isn’t technically capable, it has SNES hardware inside right?
It is not like we played Call of Duty games on Gamecube, Xbox and Playstation 2 hardware. Yes, totally impossible.

Re: Sonic Origins Plus Officially Announced For June, Adds Amy And 12 Game Gear Games
@Banjo- I didn't have problems with Sonic 1 on the Game Gear. But the first boss in Sonic 2 was really difficult.
I don't have problems with the Game Gear versions, they were my first Sonic games. But an option for the Master System version would be nice to have.
Re: Switch Online N64 Wireless Controller Back In Stock In Europe

Re: Sonic Origins Plus Officially Announced For June, Adds Amy And 12 Game Gear Games
@samuelvictor There you are Finally a physical release.
You didn’t play the Sonic Advance games? Amy Rose is a playable character in those games.
Re: Sonic Origins Plus Officially Announced For June, Adds Amy And 12 Game Gear Games
@menelawsd First get Sonic Mania.
Re: Sonic Origins Plus Officially Announced For June, Adds Amy And 12 Game Gear Games
Are there images of the Japanese physical release? The Sonic Mania Plus in Japan looked cool.

@RubyCarbuncle Different team, so it’s not like this gameplay footage is shown instead of Sonic Frontier gameplay.
I look forward to Sonic Origins. A whole new Sonic 2D game would be great. But it will be the best next thing since Sonic Mania.
