Actually, I'm having more fun with this than Sonic Rush Adventure (But Sonic Rush 1 is just so awesome). But the is a couple things I noticed: 1.) The chime that plays when you lose your rings was changed, its very noticable, but for some reason it is only in Sonic 1 and 2, Sonic 3 and Sonic and Knuckles have the original chime. 2.) In Sonic 1 and Ithink also in two, when you complete a level, the sound that plays when you run through the sign is different. 3.) The ONLY slowdown I have experienced so far is usually when I have a lot of rings, then get hit by an enemy. 4.) I never have had any flickering in the special stages thus far. Theres a little flicker in Sonic 1, but its more noticable in Sonic 2. 5.) Also in Sonic 2, when you are standing on a high platform, there is just one blue pixel on Sonic's face that isn't with all the other blue pixels, and is just right in the middle of the tan part of his face (ok, I know, not a big deal, but it still bothered me a bit).
Overall, the game is actually very fun, and is worth a look for a sonic fan, or someone who has never played the originals. The presentation could be a little better (games, pictures, options are the only things on the main menu, plus there so so very little pictures), but overall its a fun collection of the originals. Plus, unlike mega collection, its portable. But it might be better to wait for a price drop for some people.
This is a great way to prepare for Sonic 4! And thats my little review.
At first when I heard of this game, I wasn't that interested. But now, hoo boy, DO WANT NAO. Maybe I'll buy it with my Easter money. Can't wait to see the 5th Cell microgames.
That is one snazzy DSi that couple's got there. Anyway, I'll download this, my gram uses email, maybe it would be nice for me to email my creations to her via email.
I've been waiting forever for this review. I like it, but in the solo mode, the boss battles are way too challenging. But online is a blast! I would give it about an 8/10. Great review!
I have the demo of the console Dark Void on my PS3, and I love replaying it a lot (I should play the whole game instead, maybe rent it). But Dark Void Zero is waaaaaaaay better because of its awesome retro-ness. Keep em coming Capcom!
This is perhaps the best DSiware game to date! Has anyone else noticed how some screenshots feature the player wearing brown pants, when in the game he actually wears blue pants......weird.
I never bought Toyland, but I'm gonna buy Movieland first. It seems like the developers spent some time making the game, and had fun during the process.
I would love a real Mario and Sonic platformer. But having Sonic in Super Mario Galaxy 2 doesn't sound right. But if he is, that would be awesome no doubt!
Huh, I bought this game two years ago, but I haven't played it that much. This review is giving me an urge to play it again. Thanks Sean, and great review!
Dark Void is AWESOME, instantly made my top 5 DSiware. To bad my internet didn't work at all until 11pm last night, but I played it for a bit, and I love it. I'm gonna try Starship Defense now.
Trust me I'd buy this game because it looks awesomely weird and hilarious. But my family would bash on me forever if they would find out I bought it, so I'm gonna pass...... :-/

Well, when I get a points card, I know I'm not getting this!
Re: Our Nintendo Life Begins...
It feels like I'm standing virtually in history.
Re: Nintendo Download: 1st February 2010 (North America)
I would kill for a points card now, so I can buy Rollaway puzzle, and maybe Legends of Exadia. Hopefully this week I'll buy one.

Re: Nintendo Download: 19 & 20 January 2010 (Japan)
