I am really liking it. I think we switch gamers are pretty tolerant of these shortcomings. I’ve only noticed a few glitches / rough patches that stood out or affected my enjoyment.
A lot of people I think are confusing the design choices in the sonic movie for laziness. They’re intentional, and they’re not great. It’s like when the directors of the Mario movie decided to make the Mushroom Kingdom into a dark gritty dystopia. At least the rest of it looks like a banal kids movie, destined to be forgotten.
I remember when I first started writing for Nintendo Life back in 2009 or 2010. I had mostly stopped paying attention to video games and I needed to do a lot of research to catch up. Two of the first series about which I saw news stories on here, and which I hadn’t even heard of before, were Phoenix Wright and Professor Layton. So they’ve always occupied a weird space in my brain. I never got around to playing any of the entries on DS or 3DS, but now that Phoenix and potentially this are coming to Switch, I feel excited and almost obligated to play them. I’m glad to finally be giving these series a try!

Corbie, I didn’t know you designed levels for this game! I just beat it and saw your name in the credits. Conflict of interests much? Haha, but it’s a super fun game! I played it on Switch of course. EDIT: Haha maybe you just helped with the Ghost levels in the Wii U release? My bad! I think i unlocked you as a secret character!
Heyy, ‘‘twas me who wrote that first review. My quote only makes sense when you look at their ad campaign, where they claimed you had to play it because it was the worst game ever.
