Ya pretty sure this is just a sad case of modern game freak just being lazy and recycling fake text. Unless it does translate to something.

I doubt they are trying to hint at future games when they can't finish a game before it's released as is.

I don't think I'll be too broken up. As a guy like not on social media aside from here and YouTube, I miss the weird miiverse bottles from Wind Waker HD. Hope they do something weird like that again in a re release.

So funny what they choose to bring over there's a ton of people screaming from a lot of other 3DS games making it clear we'd pay $60 but this lil guy I will not pick up, unfortunately I want them to bring over more 3DS titles but not this one.

Been eyeing this for a while, I'm excited to pick it up on the 6th!

@ItsOKToBeOK That is an awesome point. I hope they use it really. I mean so often I see comments of people asking why doesn't Nintendo partner with these guys since they seem passionate about preserving games. I really really hope they don't just trash all of that and actually put it to good use.

I've loved the long life cycle, I've gotten married and had 2 kids in that time and buying a new console would have been hard. So just buying a few games throughout the year or getting one for a holiday had been great.

I hope the wait for a successor will make the next one affordable and have some great specs.

Something I think that really sells Berserker Boy, and one of the main reasons I'm getting it is because Tee Lopes is doing the soundtrack. Guy pretty much single handedly wrote my study music and I'm excited for the new game but especially the tunes.

I was really hoping to hear an update soon, looking forward to it's release!

I'm stoked to start Penny's Big Breakaway so having it drop today was great. But seeing that Mother 3 was announced in Japan was a heart stopper. I still haven't played and probably never will if I wait for nintendo to localize it.

I love that idea of the games switching between docked and undocked to change the style of game and game play. It feels very nintendo.

Looks awesome! I'm excited, whether it's on the successor or just the switch I'm gonna get it for sure.

The game is not polished and really not that fun. I have 150 hours in Sonic Mania on my switch, it's my most played game because it's just fun. It'll probably never happen again but a Sonic Mania sequel would be the way to go. I only put 5 hours into superstars and like once a week I'll say " it wasn't that bad was it? And Play for maybe 3 minutes and realize it was.

I recently played Sonic Advance 3 again and that game was polished and really fun, so I know Sonic team had what it takes at one point to create a new Sonic, I'm not sure what it'll take for that to happen again. I just don't trust them.

What a fun list! I loved reflecting on this.

Ice cap is my favorite from Sonic 3 it was probably the first zone where I really understood the branching paths since for years I had no idea there was water in it! It blew my mind and then finding big rings in there was all the more exciting. Also the song is insane. Such a shame origins doesn't have it.

I "like" marble garden but I don't think the music is super great. And that act two boss fight is kind of a nightmare for me still.

Can't wait, I'm sure it's going be awesome!

I liked them and was just skimming and thought it was $165 for all 4 and was down, then I went on the site and that was not the case haha. Now way not worth it no matter how much I like shovel knight.

Well I love Sonic and you mention tee lopes and I'm in. That money is already spent

@P-Man I agree I soaked a lot of time into that version. It also taught me to not rely on the c stick for smash attacks.

@TheMegaMarshtomp something I enjoyed about sonic games on the Genesis was the ability to memorize the levels. It's like baby's first speedrun. In most stages, especially sonic 2&3 you can really get a rhythm down in most levels. Mania especially does it well, since those fans knew what made it fun in the first place.

Superstars isn't built that way. They have no idea why people like Sonic.

I would love an a link between worlds remake, I play it annually at least, but the graphics have aged. I'd love a cleaner experience to play my favorite Zelda.

I don't know his accusers at all, but I have watched their videos with some solid points against Jirrard.
Jirrard made a mistake, probably a lot of mistakes to get to where he is. Talking about it publicly was probably terrifying to think about but with how it played out probably would have been the best move with hindsight.
I haven't picked up sea of stars yet but it makes me sad for Jirrard. I don't see why they felt it was necessary to patch him out, but maybe I just have too much empathy for the situation and don't see it as seriously as Sabotage does. Im not sure where he's going after this, but I hope he can recover, whether on YouTube or just switching careers.
I always loved tuning into his show, I don't have a lot of nerdy friends and I feel like we've always had a similar taste, helps me know what to pick up when I have extra cash or see an eShop deal.

I am stoked! So excited to see Evening Star's debut game!

I still love my WiiU as well, I love finding hidden gems on the console, I still play it at least once a week. I am glad that the switch came out and works like it does but I'm so happy Nintendo made the WiiU.

This sounds really great, from the read of the article and the overalls at the end it looks like the major downfall was all the crashes. Anyway you can keep us readers in the loop to know if they do patch these fixes? If they do it may be a December must have for me.

@Samalik Good point I think superstars is a step in the right direction for sure. It's definately a good game. But if you want to surpass mario you gotta get your best team.

I also agree with ya I don't want Christian to be a slave or anything to making Sonic games. Probably just better stated is just you gotta get people that really care and the Mania team really cared. I don't get the same feeling with Superstars. I'm on my second playthrough and am not super impressed whereas Mania I have almost 150 hours in.

They're gonna need to hire Christian Whitehead full time and dissolve Sonic Team if they are serious about trying that. Mania is the last game with wide spread appeal and near perfect scores.

On the plus side their movies have done well but not like the Mario movie. As a classic Sonic fan I share the same hope but i have a hard time seeing how it can be possible without the Mania team.

The music is top notch, the gameplay is awesome, but the glaring issue for me has been polish. I'm kinda a 2D Sonic nerd. I have over 140 hours clocked in on Mania alone and then there's time on the classics I have no idea about on my Genesis growing up. There is just so many times where Sonic is transitioning from level to level that he gets spit out of a pipe or something there's no charm he just "sticks" the landing. I do love their little angry poses for boss fights. But any animal that hops away if it bumps into a wall just like spins and disappears, rather than hopping it's way off screen by making bigger hops to clear obstacles like previous games did. There are other animations here and there that have simple issues like that as well, like Amy is emotionless when swinging her hammer where as in origins she gets a serious face.

I think this game is really great, I want more like it, but the lack of polish for me, coming from Mania, and the likes, is hard to not feel disappointed.

Even after nearly 100 hours in tears of the kingdom, Mania is still my most played game on my switch. I hear Christian Whitehead and I'm in. All the better that Tee Lopes is doing the music. As far as I'm concerned that money is already spent.

@IceClimbersMain I see what you did there.

Sonic Mania is my most played Switch game, I would die if they announced a sequel with all new levels and got the ol' gang back together with Christian Whitehead, Headcannon and Tee Lopes for the music. I won't hold my breath and just keep playing Mania, but it would be spectacular if they did.
