It's too bad that Sega killed Big, then.

I would be fine with a Sonic Spinball sequel as long as they realized what was good about the first game.
Like, Toxic Caves? Great. To me, Toxic Caves is the entire game of Sonic Spinball. When I finish Toxic Caves, I stop playing. You could roll credits right there. Levels after Toxic Caves is where the game starts getting too big and too complex for the pinball motif. Pinball is the kind of game where it's difficult to aim shots and super easy to fail because the physics reacted in an unpredictable way, so having these monster levels with 4 or 5 tiers of interconnected pinball tables is just too much.
If they made an entire game that is just levels that are the same size and complexity as Toxic Caves, Sonic Spinball would be a hell of a game.

Actually, I really like The Machine. There's, like, one place you can die, at the very bottom of the map, and it's really easy to avoid dying there. The rest is just chill.
Although it can kinda meander a bit, I suppose.

SEGA could use some more successful side Sonic games too, the only one that is somewhat getting anywhere are Sonic Racing and well the Olympics games, but those are Mario mixed.
I'd like to see more Sonic spinoffs now with current day SEGA.

I'd love a Tails' Adventure 2, personally. Full-on Metroidvania, build your own weapons, attacks can alter maps, all that fun shit

I certainly wouldn't mind another Tails' Adventure at all, provided it isn't developed by Dimps.
I personally want a Sonic RPG done by AlphaDream or Sega WOW, but it's not going to happen.

An N1 Sonic SRPG'd be really cool/interesting, especially since most Sonic fans (not from here) I know are also Disgaea fans.

Is Sega WOW still even a thing anymore?

Depends; how long ago did Yakuza 5 come out? (I also think the new "Shining" game hasn't released yet).

Not creative enough!
It's odd at first, but community isn't specifically a 'serious' general topic for that specific subject, it's meant as a placeholder for the main part of the discussion yes, but it's as it says, a community.

Super Froggio Brothers featuring BAH the Cat
We discuss Sonic a lot, but since its a dry spell in news, we goof around.
this is the first time i actually heard the lyrics to this eventhough i did the boss fight several times.
Yeah, that and Biolizard have been remixed nicely, and finally make it possible to understand what the fuck Everett Bradley is saying.
Eh, I don't know, I felt it was a bit over remixed. The straightforwardness of the original was the perfect balance of suspenseful and dark.
Lyrics are nice, I actually understood them well apart from the "I'll be losing you before long" part where it eventually drove me to look at a lyric sheet.
And now we're kickin'.
This is good too.
I feel this way as well, I mean it's nice, but the original is just too stellar in comparison.

same i even put my ears next to the speakers on my wii u controller with no success
The absolute best. Love it.
If there is one thing the 3DS version does well, it's that the boss fights in that game are actually good instead of being a mixed bag like the console version.
You know, people talk a lot of shit about Sonic Jump but I've been playing it on my breaks at work and it's an okay way to pass the time. My only real complaint is how much the game wants you to spend actual money to unlock things by gating them behind such high level requirements. Like I think you start unlocking characters every 3 or so levels after level 17 and I completed the story, played a fair bit of the endless mode and have been going out of my way to complete missions and I'm only level 15.
You need to read up on Sonic's (and Robotnik's) origin story:

This isn't canon anymore. Was rather original, though.You need to read up on Sonic's (and Robotnik's) origin story:

It's also a nice place to come whenever Gaming Side is irritating us with its nonsense.
Like now, in the wake of the latest Nintendo Direct, for instance.
Considering 7th Dragon 2020 3rd Encount seems to be a thing and Shining Blade came out last year, I'd like to think so.
I agree. I didn't like it at first but it's really grown on me.
Sonic The Comic is always canon and I don't care what anyone says.
This includes Chaos originally being an alien fish and Super Sonic being evil.

Why is Sonic asking for a hamburger in that comic?
Shadow Hog

He likes junk food. I dunno how established his chili dog addiction was, at that point. IIRC, according to StC, he also likes gumballs.
On that note, I find it amusing that the chili dog addiction actually IS canon now.

Of all the things from western canon to adopt, I really wonder why they decided to make chili dogs an official thing.

They must have whatever Downtown Ebony Hare was feeding the echidnas.
a) This is the origin story of Robotnik and why Sonic is blue, not the origin story of his love for chili dogs which happens later.
b) Sonic eats other food as well, not just chili dogs.
Pick whichever answer you like best.

Even the best burger can't topple the best chili dog.
Fuck, thinking of chili dogs is making my mouth water right now, actually.

Option A sounds more believable. :V
I'm just surprised there was a reason behind Sonic being blue.
