Weird there's nothing DK related in those sketches when that's the only Nintendo property I can remember Archie asking readers if they'd be interested in a comic adaptation of.

Yeah, Sega have become magnificent, they went from stuff like Valkyria Chronicles to the four franchise fiesta of Football manager, Sonic, Aliens and Total War, cancelling other games because money problems......wait a second.
Sega seem to have been a rollercoaster ride all generation long with many ups and downs, at least Sonic has been getting progressively better for the most part.
To Capcom's credit at least Ace Attorney 5 and Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate/4 are things that exist and presumable heading over at some point.
I guess i'm grateful that while I like Mega Man I don't like Mega Man so much that my heart is being stomped on like everyone else. I'm still more bitter over AAI2, Sega don't get away either because VC3.
Something about the very last section of that game left a really bad taste in my mouth, some sort of long scrolling shooter followed by long boss battles, otherwise it was pretty good.
They're keeping the DK stuff under wraps for its upcoming launch, BELIEVE!

First game was pretty damned amazing, especially considering the hardware. My cartridge got stolen years ago though, so I haven't been able to play it ever since. It's supposed to be coming to 3DS Virtual Console soon, so I guess I'll have to wait.
Risky's Revenge is sort of neat, but it's really short, and kind of overpriced for what little it offers.
>:O
Shantae is da bomb. Both of em.
GODDAMN YOU NINTENDO, MAKE THESE HAPPEN!
Would read it religiously, but what would be the premise of the whole thing? What would be the general "plot"?

Subspace Emissary plot of nonsense, kirby guys saving the day and what the hell is Tabuu anyway?!
Just kidding, a simple enough idea is that villains all join forces to kidnap princesses and achieve world domination leading to an uneasy alliances throughout the series as heroes band together, which is kind of what SSE was going for anyway just that instead of awesome fanservice villain group we got Master Hand, Bowser and Ganondorf leading an army of unrelated monsters and R.O.Bs that were usurped by a random hologram man who is powerful enough to one shot all characters but Sonic the hedgehog who is just too fast.
Wow let that sink in, Sonic was essentially the hero who saved the entire set of Nintendo franchises from being wiped out yet again, in a nintendo game no less.

Nintendo Land comic where we follow the exploits of 5 generic miis thrown into the world on Nintendo as they don the garbs of the lost heroes to take on the series villains in the main characters absence.
I think I threw up a bit just typing that out.

Yeah, I guess nonsensical would be the basis of the plot, haha.

Hey don't look at me, FF7 guy wrote it.
I have no shame in saying I actually enjoyed the mode itself, for what it was I always felt it was pretty solid, visual blandness aside.

"Wrote" it.
"Hey what if we had a non-descript enemy just go around and fuck shit up for everybody and I guess the villains of all videogames are behind it? I dunno. Really, it's just an excuse for Princess Peach to have tea with Fox McCloud on the Halberd."

I much preferred his original "yeah I dunno they're waiting for the bus" idea. Although I did enjoy Iwata's subtle implication in the Iwata Asks that they wanted more for what they were paying him. :lol

I wonder how the bus idea would've panned out for a playable adventure?

OK guys, request: I really like the original title suggestion for the SA2 |OT|, but I'm not sure we'll get away with only having an abbreviation of the game's title in the thread title.
So... ideas?

This, exactly this.
Oh yeah, forgot to post the more horrific one

Perhaps you can at least grace the OP with the use of your story synopsis, it would be the all the description one needs for the grand old tale of Sonic Adventure 2.

Alternatively replace that link with any quote from it.

I'd go with Penny Arcade's one-line synopsis myself.

Not sure for the titles besides the ones I suggested before.
This is good, it's a shame this isn't Adventure 1 because I'd suggest "GET A LOAD OF THIS!"
Sonic Adventure 2 HD |OT| A ghost tried to approach me, he got leery. if it fits.

Sonic Adventure 2 HD |OT| Simply the best-written video game of all time.

Incredible, all it's missing is the part where Eggman is presumed to have outright killed Sonic by firing him off into space while his friends mourn the assumed death of their hero, I mean damn that is pretty dark and out of place for Sonic, and it's all played straight to boot.
Someone remind me how he cheeses his way out of that grisly demise again, he warps with the fake emerald just because?

I think I have a title nailed down. Now to finish the OT, including adding in Mama's synopsis.

I lost it at "allowed to film a threatening message of vengeance"
I never realized how stupid that was. :lol

Picked #44 up today when I went to get some other stuff. Regarding Geoffrey,
at the end
it's just too bad that he didn't stick it to the man. So I wonder what he's truly after
hard was a pretty decent character, and I wouldn't mind seeing more of him. His lines are written nicely anyway. The last panel on one of the pages was
T___T when he was stuck outside not being able to interact with the others much.
And hey look
Silver wasn't useless and got something done for once.
Hee hee. I liked this one, though! Coupled with Mama Robotnik's synopsis while bolding the bit about meeting the president and something else about the parts of the game where you're supposed to feel something.
(I didn't know Mama Robotnik lurked in here. :O)

"You're Not Good Enough For a Rerelea- |Sonic Adv. 2 OT| I'LL MAKE YOU EAT THOSE WORDS" fits in the Title. Might get away with that.

I dunno about everyone else but... well, Mega Man 2 was one of the five games my cousins had me try out to get me into games (it was probably one of the first because SMB NES came towards the end). I was terrible at it. Horrible. I couldn't get past stages or anything. No matter which stage I picked I ended up dying. And dying. And dying. But I loved how it looked and sounded and played. It felt so good when I finally beat it. And then I kept playing the games whenever my cousins got new entry... and then it all culminated into how fucking awesome Mega Man X was.
To see Mega Man reduced to that... that thing for the 25th anniversary... it's like the damn equivalent of Konami celebrating a series' anniversary with a pachislot mashine like they did with Goemon. It's awful.
Well, certainly, Sega should have at least localized some stuff like 7th Dragon, some of the Ryu ga Gotoku games and VC3. They don't get a complete free pass. At least they're in a better position than Konami, Square-Enix, Capcom, etc. to me.
I rationalised this by pretending that the real anniversary celebration for Goemon was a soundtrack of remade music and the machine was just a little bonus thing to go with it.
I'm happy with this as an anniversary celebration.

You lose the word-eating, though, and that's the best part.
Bah, true...
The end of the arc just reinforced my impressions from the first half. Shard is excellent all around, Larry is comedy gold, and Silver's actually enjoyable when he's busy being a foil for Shard's powers and personality and not blathering on about the traitor. The other half of the team is boring, useless, and in the specific case of Elias, actively bad at his job. Chuck and Nicole as support works, but Harvey can go jump in a lake. We didn't need yet another team of characters, and certainly not one this big. They're also all terrible at being stealthy, so it came off as fairly odd that the arc both lampshaded the fact and still tried to end on a "BUT NO ONE CAN EVER KNOW" note. Keep the good half, put the rest back on a bus. Shard, at least, had plenty of hooks set up for future development, so I imagine we'll at least see more of him. Hopefully in a three-way match between him, Shadow, and Scourge over who's the better dark Sonic.
Oh, and going by the X's, if the whole traitor things really does end up being "it was Sally because she got roboticized and Silver didn't figure it out because he's completely oblivious," I'm gonna go bang my head against a wall for a while. Though apparently we have a good six months to go for that. This whole year's been terrible for scheduling changes.

Out of curiosity, I'm interesting in knowing SonicGAF's top 10 favorite/greatest video games of all time. I'm not looking for posts explaining why, just a simple list stating you top ten favorites, and they don't have to be in any order. I wish to know this so I may possibly get a bigger of idea of what games and styles you prefer the most.
Top 10 Games of All Time
1. Sonic & Knuckles
(Not in any order)
Pokemon Stadium 2
Pokemon Gold Version
Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II (GC)
Sonic Adventure 2Battle
Sonic Adventure

Super Smash Bros. Melee

It took me a bit to come to this conclusion, but I honestly think these are the games I consider the best.
