Seriously, though, I would buy several copies of that. Damn, I need a new EBA/Ouendan. Badly. iNiS needs to stop doing Lips and The Black Eyed Peas Experience and start doing more of their Ouendan/EBA and Gitaroo Man stuff again.
I, for one, like seeing what crazy stuff he'll blow large sums of money on next just to get rid of Sonic. Building an amusement park (two, in fact--one on the ground and one in space), mining for resources, building Mad Gear...
At least AoStH Robotnik's eyes aren't obscured by glasses. Eyes can be expressive too...

The only thing I love about Sonic R was the soundtrack

I played Sonic R at 5 frames per second on my PC because that's how I thought it was supposed to play
Don't worry, I did the same thing with Lego Island when I was kid on my crappy-ass Windows 95

Been playing some Sonic Generations 3DS time trials this morning. Man, it's really satisfying when you manage to string some cool boosts/jumps/homing attacks/whatever together. Classic Radical Highway's music is friggin' radicool, too.

I thought I was the only one who liked the Generations' versions of Radical Highway. I've heard others say they were awful.

Generations' Radical Highway is a fucking terrible level, why would anyone even think it's remotely good? Crap boring road layout. Extremely slow and tedious moving platforms. Lots of pits. And it dragged on for too long. Hated that level.
Excuse my bluntness, I just really did not like that level and I don't get why they chose it. It wasn't even a great level in SA2 and it certainly wasn't good in Generations 3DS.

And me too. Although I tend to turn the lyrics off, as while they're good in a so-bad-they're-good sense, I'd rather just admire the awesome instrumentals.
I swear, I own Sonic R three times over, and covering a wide gamut of possible versions at that; EU PC, US Saturn, JP Gems Collection (GC - because Streets of effing Rage). All three versions, spanning across all three gaming regions. I'm not really making any point with this observation, I just find it amusing.

The music is fine but the level is shit. I like (hate) that bit in Classic where you run down a road for like 10 seconds, no rings, enemies, nothing. Just empty road in the middle of the level.

Yeah, Radical Highway as a level is garbage. Awful shit.
The Dreamcast Era truly suffered in that they didn't seem to know what to do with it, really. At least with the Modern Era, they could take parts of Rush games (Colours DS included) and implement them in Generations.
And Sonic R's soundtrack is wonderful~

They sure did. Like how Water Palace Modern has the exact same layout as Water Palace Act 1 in Sonic Rush. It's not as obvious as the classic layouts being lifted from the Genesis games (Mushroom Hill ending with the pre-boss checkpoint is so lulzy), but there it is.
A while back I was replaying the game and experimenting with the different characters. What's really cool is how the vehicle characters, like Eggman and Amy, can't actually get all of the items!Sciz said:
Man, Sonic the Fighters was fun as hell. Smacking my friend's head flat and getting stomped on made up at least a third of our summer one year.
The other thirds were Sonic Riders and Sonic Heroes.
I know
I was ranting about that level because it is so god damn awful and it needs to be said because it is that awful. The music was really meh though. (Act 1 sounded okay however)

That's not cool, that's just more reasons to not play as them. As if low top speeds outside of a largely uncontrollable turbo mode, as well as a total inability to jump, weren't enough reasons.
Seriously awful balancing the game has, but the stages were so wide-open and fun to dick around in that I really wish there were more than just five (with one of them, Radiant Emerald, being so comparatively closed as to be the odd man out).
I think, rather than a dedicated on-foot racing game, it would be better if Sega went in the direction of a multiplayer racing mode like what they did with SA2B. Just give characters their own areas that they excel in (speed, flight, strength, whatever) and structure the levels in such a way that each stands a fighting chance against the other.
SA2B's multiplayer was some of the most fun I've had and I'd really love to see it return in a more refined form.

Maybe that possible Sonic Adventure 2 HD remake with online? I wish.

So SEGA has finally opened the US Sonic Merchandise store, but they aren't offering the Nendoroid...damn it SEGA what gives?!
Yeah it's a real shame that they wont add any online mulitplayer in the upcoming HD release. :\

"A shame" is a nicer term than I'd use.
Like, no, c'mon. When you port these old games that only had local multiplayer to XBLA and PSN, you put in internet support. That's the standard now. If you don't do that, that's below standard. I understand it's probably a limitation with the fact games like SA2 were designed to be split screen only, but make it work.
Especially if they really do go down the Sonic Adventure DX path and sell all of the "Battle" content separately, because who the fuck is going to buy skins for a game that only supports local multiplayer?
Prepare to be mad.

I thought we didn't know anything about SA2 HD yet.

Its listing went up on Xbox.com for a time before vanishing. In the time the information was made available, it was listed as having offline multiplayer and supporting DLC.
Not hard to connect the dots.

Hm. Hunnid P, the rapper who did all of the Knuckles theme music in Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 said he's working with Sega to produce new music.
Sonic Adventure 2 with a remix OST?

Remastered/Remixed music? Huh.
Would be nice if they could somehow release the instrumentals for Knuckles stage themes one of these days. If only... :/

Interesting news since I was just referring to Unknown from ME in the Pokemon thread. I'd buy it.
Yes.

Well I'll be thrilled with whatever comes out of this. I don't think Sega would put that much effort into a remix OST for a re-release, though, would they?
Sega + Music, I'd say it's pretty possible. It's the one thing they always get right.
Sonic 4 doesn't count.
No. It's obviously Sonic Adventure 3!
I knew Iizuka-san wouldn't let us down! ^___^

....No. Not tonight. I have plans, so I'll let someone else do it.
That was Bioware.
I'm probably the only person who really does not want a Sonic Adventure 3... despite liking the Adventure games... or rather a fraction of them.
It lines up with what Iizuka-san said in a generations interview, he said now that he is back in control of Sonic, he makes all the decisions. Generations was compilation title, now we will see what he does when he's got full creative freedom, again.
and when he was in control, he sure loved associated Knuckles with rap music. So even if it's not Sonic Adventure 3, maybe he is bringing back the rap music for Knuckles.
