How the hell is Sunshine, one of the more common games on the Gamecube, still $30?
http://videogames.pricecharting.com/game/gamecube/super-mario-sunshine
I hate price hikes SOOOO much!
EDIT: Found one for 25 w/ free shipping on ebay. How lucky! I have 25 extra dollars on my Paypal account :>
EDIT: oh no wait I don't, I forgot I spent that 25 dollars on the Sonic book whoops

When I say it was a rude awakening that isn't to say Sunshine is bad, but as Sega 1991 said it's a game of often repeated content, it would be like if the Galaxy games doubled up on their comets, and what's repeated isn't worth repeating, how many times have I snapped off Blooper tentacles? too many times.
It's filled with fluff, the blue coins manage to be worse than the entire works of Rare's item nabbing together (okay, minus JFG Tribals).
It's fun at points but when stacked up against the other 3D games it sticks out for its lack of polish.

Pretty sure Animal Crossing DS and Mario Kart DS are the same price, too. Nobody should ever be shocked at the prices of Nintendo games anymore.
For the same reason all the Layton DS games except for the very first one are still $30.

Retro games in general are getting absurdly expensive. Clearly I should stop buying modern ones and start buying old ones on eBay.
fuck is this jive ass shit

It feels so weird calling Gamecube retro now...
Does this mean SA1, SA2, Heroes and Shadow are retro games now? :lol

With the new consoles coming soon, i'm pretty sure Sega has a nice tech demo of a new sonic game.

Nope. Demo of Kazuma Kiryu walking around an even more detailed Shibuya.

Well we all know what happened the last time they released a tech demo...

For whatever reason i'm reminded of their original Sonic DS demo where players just had to rub the stylus erratically to make a 3D Sonic leg it through a Green Hill style zone as fast as possible, that would have made for a pretty shitty game.

We need a crossover of all the Tokyo-set games. JSR x TWEWY x SMT x Yakuza.

And then they all get gobbled up by carnivorous Pomeranians from Tokyo Jungle.

They need to watch out for Tokyo Ghetto Pussy, however.

Guys I just started the Vita version of Time Travelers last night and it is gorgeous. Kinda dig the Time Travel mechanics in this.
I have to agree with the repetition and recycling. It's the type of thing I genuinely dislike when it comes to game structure and design because I get kinda bored with it and would like some variation at least.
What's better, though? Red rings in Sonic or Stars/Coins in Mario?
I'M WEI SHEN WHO ARE YOU
Kiryu: I peacocked your mom.
Same goes for Mark of the Ninja.
I was really late to the party on Sunshine just because I didn't have a GameCube, so I ended up playing Galaxy before I played Sunshine... which I probably shouldn't have done. I don't think it's a bad game. It's not the worst Mario game I've played (granted, I've never played Mario 64 before so I dunno; maybe people were measuring it against that).

That's something I really dislike in some of these games sometimes. It drives me bonkers.Fuck Mario Sunshine.

Can't they just crossover with Sleeping Dogs instead? That's how it'd make sense.

Neither have I. I've had people pestering me to play it, but I just didn't have time to get to it during GotY.
Same goes for Mark of the Ninja.

Red Rings, if only for the simplicity. You're not required to jump through hoops in order to get the Red Rings, just find some alternate paths.
EDIT: I'm talking about in comparison to Mario Sunshine. Although I still like them more than the Star Coins in NSMB.
Red Rings are like the better version of Star Coins since they actually reward you.
Star Coins kind of does too, but all it does is unlock mushroom houses (in handheld games) and World 9. I mean that sounds great until you realize World 9 itself has Star Coins and they do NOTHING.
wtf
EDIT: GAF IS BROKEN! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Nah, just a lot more blue.
Where does Tokyo Crash Mobs fit into this crossover?

Mark of the Ninja takes super duper ultimate priority over the other.
Star Coins unlocking World 9 is a lot better than the Red Ring Legacy, Colours did well with Red Ring unlocks but Generations was merely okay with lacklustre concept art, Episode 2 does nothing, at all.
Even the World 9 coins shove a star on my file.
Red Rings are still decent mind you but their implementation is a bit all over the place outside of Colours, Generations doesn't give them an order on the stage select so you're not sure where to look for say the final 2 you need in a stage, well until you bug the side characters into outright telling you.
They fit in now you reminded me of whatever madness that game is about.
Yeah I forgot how absolutely pointless the Red Rings were in Sonic 4 Ep 2. It was literally pointless. Does the game even congrats you for getting them all?

Hey, if you got all the red rings from an act in Generations you unlock a skill.
This is how you get SKATEBOARD ANYWHERE.

I forgot about that, I thought they were mission related, wait there was skateboard anywhere? damn I need to hop on that and probably die using it.
Well, it's an experience every final fantasy fan should go through* at least once.

If you can stomach a rather mediocre game.

LOOK AT ALL THOSE JAZZWARES TOYS:
I didn't know that they made figures of Blaze, Lancelot, and Excalibur Sonic.
