Cartoon is doing alright.
I mean , I would have focused on building good games, and the cartoon be the thing you hook to the games as something to sell games. So even after the cartoon goes off air you will still have something, but eh its Sega man I can't tell em what to do .

No tears for Sonic, I still have the ones I shed for Valkyria Chronicles
Hm. That seems weird. lol. Figured that she would absolutely be a playable character.

I mostly agree with this. I wouldn't quite call Lost World great but the potential is certainly great and the game was decent overall at least. I do want an expansion and improvement of that gameplay style.I would prefer a Sonic: Lost World sequel, which is a great game

3DS version of the past game wasn't half bad, especially in comparison to the Wii U abomination. They probably made the right decision going pure 3DS as that's likely where the majority of their audience (people who watch the show) are anyways.

The whole point of the game is to save Amy, why would she be playable?

Eh, well I'm just glad that the show is really popular because it's really funny and I enjoy watching it. Don't have anything to say about the upcoming game though!

Yeah I don't see the connection. Sonic Boom probably sells better than it. Might as well say "they made this and not a sequel to an old game I'm particularly fond of??".
At least Shattered Crystal wasn't a buggy broken mess like the Wii U game. It's a game for a kids show, what did you expect?
My original question was based on the fact that Amy is a staple for the series so I thought it was weird that she wasn't playable and was being touted as a new playable character. That seemed odd to me. Also, it isn't so weird for a rescued character to end up playable in some form. If my questioning her playability before didn't indicate it well enough, I'm not very familiar with the plot of the 3DS title. I only knew certain things about the Wii U title. As far as I knew, the same playable characters were available on both platforms since it seemed to focus on using 4 characters to progress through the game.

This is gonna be a hard sell with the whole fiasco of the previous game.
A refined and polished pizza made out of the finest and stalest cardboard. Great.
I reviewed Shattered Crystal for Sonic Retro, not looking forward to reviewing this as well.
hahaha
Yeah, I agree with that. If the show returns with new episodes close enough to when the game is releasing then they can probably market it well though. Maybe this game will turn out alright anyways

Sonic fans have endured several fiascos like 06, Shadow the Hedgehog and that Werehog thing. They don't seem to care anymomre.

Those were a product of the early 2000s. The edge is dead, they'll never make a Sonic game in that style ever again.

I dunno man. I mean, the first games were like garbage through and through. Or at least the wii u one was.
Maybe they got enough feedback and can make a better one...i mean. I hope anyways.

Trailer didn't look half bad, honestly. It is Sonic, so you don't know if they'll make an actual good game out of it or if it's only a tease. But at least Sanzaru is handling it, they did a good job with Sly Cooper.

Hey TimmiT. Wonder who else from Retro is here?...
Anyways, SEGA (Of America) still thinks Boom needs to be promoted in their eyes, and the 3DS game didnt get as shit on as the Wii-U game, it was just boring and tedious but not a second coming of 2006 evil like Rise of Lyric was .
All in all this is a pretty good call if this game needs to exist.

At least the least awful of the two got a sequel, but I was hoping Sanzaru would be moving onto Sly 5. =(
I hope the next game is longer than 4 hours as well.

Well, in that case we're talking about one of the most misleading demos ever made.

How not? Its very obvious. Bombs go boom, F-Zero GX was a bomba, ergo

To be fair, it was level 1. Level 1 of NSMB as a demo would have sucked just as much.

That looks pretty good. Hopefully the gameplay is solid. I haven't really enjoyed a Sonic game since the Rush titles.
Also, I don't see why it matters that it is tied to the Sonic Boom franchise, the game doesn't look to play anything like the reviled Wii U title. If the cartoon is doing well, then it makes sense to keep that aesthetic going.
