Hey look, Sonic Runners gameplay!
Okay, you can go back to not paying attention now. It's what you thought it was.

Sonic seems to be proportioned more to look like Classic Sonic in Runners...
EDIT: Holy shit Chip and Caliburn are in the game.

Curious that they're using a voice clip from Roger Craig Smith here and not Junichi Kanemaru.

Combovers don't work when there is no hair
He has an ocean full of oil
Oil prices are declining and we'll eventually be moving away from fossil fuel, so he should find some new source of income. Maybe he could build lifesize Transformers mechas for Michael Bay or something.
That said, fired up the demo of Sonic Generations last night (still have to get around to get the PS3 version), and it's so good. It's what Sonic 4 should have been, and I hope they some day make another Generations.

Hey man it was the 90s, Oil was gold yo.
Oil is still used to make plastic products no? He can always make a killing from monopolizing on the plasitc used for touchphones, touch pads and consoles, etc. =V
Could anyone who was actually using the internet back then because they weren't a smallish child gimme the low down on the community that arose around the GBA Sonic games sprites? I know there was a lot of hubbub about them but I don't really know much detail. So like, why did people like them, what did people actually do etc. Was it making sprites based off them, editing them. I don't really know the first thing about sprites other than the Advance series ones look amazing to me.
What's to know? They were making sprite edits of the originals for some time. Then the perfect storm of new 2D Sonic on GBA + working GBA emulators and/or extracting tools made ripping new sprites so easy everyone and their grandma was doing it.

Anyone pick up a Sonic amiibo? I ended up going for Mega Man, because Mega Man, but I almost did it.

I'm happy enough with this dinky classic Sonic I've got on my shelf, amiibos mainly appeal to me for the lesser known characters which is why I've only got Ike so far.
Though Mega Man is tempting but my heart was set on King Dedede as a second amiibo only for its existence to be something of a myth even in Blighty, Sonic and Mega Man are the only ones in that wave to seem actually available.

Fair enough. Like I said, I don't know the first thing about all that so I had no idea how easy or hard it was. Thanks for the info.
So as the official Sonic twitter eloquently points out, today marks the nine year anniversary of Sonic Riders.
Personally I still think the Riders series embodies some of the most wasted potential the franchise has seen, if only because I still never stopped considering the concept a really fun one. Though really, Riders has always been a guilty pleasure of mine once I got good at the game. There was always something inherently satisfying about styling through tracks on a hoverboard, or even using those skates in an almost Jet Set Radio fashion.
I really wish Sonic Team would be able to put out another Riders game that fixed most of the issues. Thanks for fucking it up with Free Riders though.

No reason to feel guilty about liking Riders. Amazing game, as well as Zero Gravity.

I know your feeling, as I tried to get Shulk this morning... :|
Long time no see.
I regret selling them now. Scratched some of the snowboard kids itch with a modernized twist.
Pity that non-mobile Sonic spinoffs are pretty much dead. :[

Sonic Riders took a bit to really gel with me, but it was quite fun once it did. I still hate how stupid the story of Zero Gravity was, lol.
I remember my first MS Paint sprite comic. It was fucking awful
They were just rad. They were simple, clean, animated well, and easy to get to, so people ran with it.

Amazing? Not too sure about that, but it was definitely enjoyable. I might even go hunting for a copy of Riders this afternoon.
I also oddly enough liked Secret Rings.

As I noted on Twitter earlier today, I got both as of yesterday. They're pretty good.
Long time no see.
WHEN DOES THIS HAPPEN
the wiimote controls make that game worse than sonic 06. by a lot.
What? No.
However, the game does have control problems, but none of it has to do with motion controller, but rather how intentionally laggy the button presses are and how you have to level up Sonic to make him more responsive to button presses.

It's also a radically different control scheme than even before (and pretty much since), it takes a lot of getting used to. But considering Sonic Team was reusing the same framework over and over and over (and did again after), it was nice to play something that threw almost all of that out and came up with its own ideas.
Unawakening Float not being in Sonic Generations is pure sacrilege
Would have been the most jammy tune to use as music on Sky Sanctuary

These past few days have been, so ugh...; New week, new day, gonna change my way!
Glad to hear some of you got the Sonic Amiibo... I DIDN'T! I'm waiting for the guy who wants Fox in the Amiibo thread to trade me. I technically did get him, but they dropped a box on Some of the Amigos, and he was inside, sealed, in 2 broken pieces. : / Fuck Toys R Us...
So yeah, still on the hunt; I really like the way he ended up looking though!
I actually agree with this. I can't stand Secret Rings. Awful control setup, awful level design. Despite the sword gimmick, I think Black Knight was actually a solid improvement, just for getting rid of the motion controls for movement.

So I wasn't really looking forward to Worlds Unite, because I don't really know MMX that well and Sonic Boom is dumb, but then this happened
seems like the roster we've figured out so far includes

Two things: this is only the second time they've done it, to be fair, and also this is clearly way bigger than just Mega Man and Sonic now
So what are those things in the background then because I assumed they were Mega Man bosses.

Welp, there goes my interest in Worlds Unite. Can we just get in with the Unleashed arc already?

Sonic and Sticks look kinda iffy here, but then I noticed the e.huang and remembered Edwin Huang is an Udon guy.

Yah, I don't particularly care for how the characters look there but I presume that artist is just doing a fancy promo piece, and we'll have Yardley or whoever for the book proper.
So I've been trying to think of Sega and Capcom characters that could be included and would make me want to check this comic out and I realised I don't actually like any Capcom characters outside of Ghost Trick and the Ace Attorney series, and if any of those characters are in this it would probably be pretty bad.
Then I realised that I don't actually like any Sega characters either. I guess some of the Valkyria Chronicles characters are cool and they are included in that weird anime fighting game, but again that either has no chance of happening or they would use the characters I don't like.
Edit: hang on does hatsune miku count as a sega character

How about this: most Sonic characters are garbage, but the comic makes them good and likeable, so it could do the same for, say, Billy Hatcher

OK but not before the Puyos
Tails can be like "hey aren't you Dr Robotnik's mean beans???" and they're like "NO"

this is something I can get excited about
Wow. The solicits so far haven't hinted at this at all. Wonder how big of a factor it's really going to be.
also play some MMX games
Ugh... Yet another pause in the comics for the sake of helping a lesser series "no offense blue bomber fans".
First one was bad enough! With 4 comics to span out in, this will still be a full 1/4 of a year wasted.
Mega Man does fine on its own. This is happening because the first one sold a shitload of copies compared to anything Archie puts out.

It took several months to get even this PC version working. A Dreamcast version ain't happening.

Holy crap, this is gonna be disguised as a SEGA vs. Capcom crossover, count me in!
This thing is rrrrrrrough, but that's to be expected really
omg omg I really hope Ristar shows up in Worlds Unite aaaahhhhh
