@russell-marlow Sonic has always been quippy since Sonic Adventure 1, well before the MCU.
His first line in Sonic Adventure 2 is a quip about the helicopter he is being transported in having no food or movies.
I understand not liking it but it's been part of Sonic's character for a long time so it wasn't going to change here.
It's looking like this film won't be far off the tone of SA2.

I guess I'll find out tomorrow regarding mine. I ordered mine on the 2nd of December along with Sonic and Megaman. No email so far but I'm waiting to see if they are just waiting for the release of the other two tomorrow before shooting me down. Hope that's not the case .

I dont think this is a big deal and to be honest it's a bit of a surprise the other games haven't reached an M Rating already. I mean they deal with alot of mature things in the form of murders and even suicides. Even the first scene of the first game starts with a statue dripping with blood, followed by a woman with blood pouring from her head. My guess is that it hasn't got any worse than that but due to the added detail from the 3D Graphics it has just received the higher rating.

Didn't realise the demo had been released until I went on the eShop yesterday to download something else. Saw it and straight away downloaded it. It's awesome. I didn't fully understand how the battles work but nevertheless I still enjoyed it. Looking forward to the second demo a great deal.

@NintenKingiiU Well a 2013 release was pretty easy to predict. Sonic games have mostly had a 2 year gap between them since adventure with the exception of anniversary games (Starting with 06) which just had a one year gap.

Please release in the UK capcom. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!!

Jazz Jackrabbit 3! I mean it would be perfect. Bring Jazz into HD and it would be perfect for the Wii/Wii U Audience.

@Damo : Yeah but I still think there should be an equal number of characters It's only fair lol.

Whats with sega being outnumbered? That's just really cruel.

Still this should be interesting. I'll definitly give it a watch.

As far as I know you still fight with 2 characters but on the same screen instead. All teh screenshots ive seen have 2 characters on the same screen. I've also heard people mention you switch between them in battle or something along those lines. I've downloaded the iOS version but havent played it yet. I'll be giving it a go later.

Won't lie though this was a massive disappointment. Im happy to play the game again in HD but I would've loved if this had been a sequel instead. Damn you square enix!!!

@James Ive been around since you started and your articles have always made me laugh and been informative at the same time. You will be missed around here but I wish you the very best of luck on your new job at NOE.

4335 stars.....must buy more nintendo games!!!!!

Well just got my game gear fixed the other day so I think I'll celebrate today by playing through some of the GG Sonic's .

this is disappointing. I really enjoy the metroidvania style of castlevania games so bit of a shame that this doesnt follow on that formula. It still looks good so Ill still probably pick it up though.

@welsh_gamer the level layouts are different to the PSone/GBA Versions. The only thing they share is the themes so you still have the forest, the music land and all that. But the layouts are different.

man that screen just looks exactly like what I'd imagine a castle of illusion sequel to look like. I cannot wait for this game now.

...HELL YES!!!! I Love castle of illusion. I hope this game lives up to the original.

Would be awesome if we got a sequel. This is my second favourite kart racer just behind Crash Team Racing. I would like more variety in a sequel though. I mean I love sonic but a few changes could've been made. Like replace Big with another Sega character. And wouldn't have minded if the 9 sonic levels were cut down to 3 instead (1 track per locale) and the other 6 used for other sega franchises. Like phantasy star for example.

Ah I remember my first time playing this. I was on holiday in america and they had it on display in Wal-Mart. I had never heard about the game before but as soon as I started playing I didn't want to stop. In the end I had to buy it otherwise I would've just been stuck in Wal-Mart all day lol. Such a fun game. Absolutely insane and incredibly addictive. I've played through it and unlocked everything multiple times in the past and im still having fun doing it again with the ambassador program.

Loved castle of illusion. I dont mind what they do with it as long as its good .

I think its great that shadows in the game. And he is ment to be a Boss/Rival Battle in the same way as metal sonic. I think its basically just a race in the 3DS version (Based on screens ive seen of Metal Sonic & Shadow).

WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! I freaking loved the world ends with you. Seeing neku in Kingdom Hearts is awesome enough but now that theres hope for a sequel its even more awesome. Please let this happen.

I love RCT 1 & 2. Ive put hours into those games. But RCT3. Eh. Couldnt get into it. Still often go back to the others though. If this is like those or even a port of one of them id buy it. If its like RCT3 or a port of RCT3 then id probably wait for a price drop.

Im actually excited about this now. I wasnt at first because it looked awful but after the recent gamescom vids my opinion has changed. They've made alot of improvements since E3 so im very much looking forward to this version now. Im still far more excited about the HD Versions but ill definatly be getting this version alongside the HD one.

got the arcade version on Konami Classics Collection. Its pretty good. Id get a 3D Version. Bring it on.

This is awesome news. Also I find this interesting :
"Once the paid versions of the games are posted to the Nintendo eShop later in the year, the updated versions will be available to Ambassadors for download at no cost."
Thats from the NES Paragraph. What do they mean by Updated versions? Does that mean sequels (If im not mistaken Ice Climber and Balloon fight dont have sequels though) or does it mean 3D Classics versions of those games? Or something else?

Ive not been impressed by this since I saw the E3 gameplay. I was excited for the 3DS Version at first but my expectations have dropped considerably. I really really hope that Dimps does put the extra effort in to get this game up to scratch. And theres even rumours that this version has been delayed till next year and if thats the case im all for it. If it gives them more time to get it right ill be fine. The console editions on the other hand are looking and (Based on the recent demo) playing fantastic. I cant wait for the console version. This one though I can wait for. I will get it no matter what form it comes in but I really do hope they listen to the feedback.

I did enjoy Secret Rings & Black Knight myself but for those who didnt theres still hope. The same team that created the storybook series did make colours too. So who knows. They could make this in the same style as colours due to the great reception. Just with more of a storybook theme to it.

Perfect I preordered from amazon UK but because I live in spain its taken a little longer to arrive. I should have it tommorow so ill be well within the deadline for this

@edhe I hope not. I love this show. Ive found a few translated episodes online previously and love it. Ive been waiting for more episodes to be translated by fans but if this succeedes it will be just as good and probably more frequent too.
Plus if it does succeed then it could possibly mean a translation of Retro Game Challenge 2. The first one was excellent and I was very disappointed when I found out we wouldnt be getting the second.

I enjoyed it too. Yes it was nothing like the original series (Physics wise) but I wasnt bothered. I just had a fun time playing it. It had good music, graphics and level design and was just a fun experience overall. Im looking forward to Episode 2 quite a bit. And apparently there working on all new zones this time around. Not remakes of existing ones. So it should be interesting.

The game looks cool. Loving the art style. Anyone else get a super meat boy vibe from the first level lol. Loved the tetris part too. Bout time rayman got a new platforming adventure.

Got this on one of those dodgy 30 in 1 cartridges when I was little. Still around somewhere. Its an ok game. It was fine for short bursts but I wont be buying it again. If I ever want to play it again ill just dig up that cartridge and play it on there.

Ill definatly be grabbing this. Ive been interested in purchasing the bit trip games for a while but spent my money elsewhere. But once this is released ill definatly snap it up.

Picked this up for 3 Pound on PSP last year. Its an excellent puzzler game. I was hooked but the puzzles get very hard and I didnt manage to finish it. Although I made sure to collect everything in every level so I probably made it harder on myself than normal. But still awesome game. Highly recommend it but if this is identical to the PSP version then it might be worth getting that instead since its cheaper.

Apparently sonicgenerations.com was registered by sega a couple days ago so looking like its going to be something relating to sonics past. My guess is either a prequel (They had a poll asking who would be interested in a prequel last year), a compilation (.....please dont lol) or a remake of classic levels in 3D like it was reported back in novemebr or whenever it was.

First of all "Aimed at children" - There is a clear warning stating the 3D shouldnt be experienced by anyone under 6.
Second of all "Most kids arent going to turn the 3D off" - Well is that Nintendos fault. No. They have even included methods of stopping the 3D altogether such as parental controls that can disable the 3D function. If kids experience headaches and dont turn the 3D off thats there own fault or the parents fault. Nintendo is not to blame.
And nintendo should recall the product? What about the thousands of other people enjoying the product. If they were to recall it then do it to fix the BSOD not because one person got a headache.

Was not really bothered about this but adding Pacman CE has bumped up my interest. I love that game.

Ive experienced this twice. Both times whilst playing Rayman 3D. I also had my system updated and before I experienced either I even formatted my SD Card to FAT32 after id heard of this error. So I can cross those off as possible remedies. Hope they fix the problem soon through a firmware update. I dont want to be apart from my 3DS for a couple weeks while its repaired

Damn. For a moment I thought I was still in the UK and entered lol. Sorry about that.

Who needs nintendogs when youve got this

@Ecto-1 : What connection did House Of The Dead 2 and Typing have? None. But they made an awesome game by combining them. Things could work out the same here.

I love Rayman 2 but I am a little disappointed that there just porting it again. I was hoping for a new Rayman but I knew they'd do this. What im most interested by though is the fact that its the dreamcast version. Does this mean we could see some more dreamcast titles on 3DS in the future?
Sonic Adventure 3D or Jet Set Radio 3D anyone?

JET SET RADIO!!!!!!
Please sega

Noticied this just in time. Dont know how I missed it previously.

I had no idea this was being made by Square Enix. I loved Mario Hoops on DS so im pretty sure ill love this too. As for the sqaure enix characters they had the same characters in the DS one so im not too surprised they put them in here.

@lex0plex : 2 reviews have been shown already. One was from NGamer magazine in the UK who gave it an 8 and the other was Nintendo Power who gave it a 9. So far so good.
Normally I would preorder a new Sonic game but I think im going to wait till christmas for this one. Looking good though.

@dres : Dimps are behind the DS version and Sonic Team behind the Wii.

@LuWiiGi : I agree. I had alot of fun for the first few weeks and then it was just boring. The second game was far better I thought. I still find that fun today. It had alot more variety in both gameplay and controls where as the first was just waggle and run really lol.

@Melvin2898 Theres set days when Downloads go up on each console. Wii downloads go up on Mondays for america and Fridays for Europe. XBLA Downloads go up wednesday globally. And I think PSN Downloads go up Wednesday globally too. Im not 100% sure on that one though. But thats the reason.
