I'm more amused by the tagline on the main cover.

Mine is AzureDreams, somebody already had AzureDream, and it wouldn't let me make a punctuation variant of it. I only have a 3DS so far.
So what you're saying is Sega should outsource the next Sonic game to Nintendo's EAD Tokyo. Does Miyamoto have it in him to save Sonic? Would he even want to?

That's not what I saaaaaid :V (But also, noooooo. I like Super Mario 3D World a lot. Played as Toad often and had fun with it, especially since it seems built around speedrunning, but I think Sonic should still stay as a Sega thing, because we've seen that Sega can do good with the IP.)
Part of my criticisms of Sonic Lost World is that it had no idea what it wanted to be. Does it want to take bits from Mario? Does it want to take bits from Donkey Kong? Does it want to take bits from other platformers? Does it want to be a stealth game in some bits? Some of that just didn't seem to fit the mould of what Sonic games usually are because they do mess with the pacing and other aspects of its level design and mapping of general Sonic game design.
And I've disliked it when games do that sort of "take everything + throw in the kitchen sink" thing. I didn't like it when FF13-2 did it. I don't like it when Lightning Returns seems to do it. I didn't like it when Dirge of Cerberus did it. This sort of thing makes the game lack some semblance of its own identity and coherence, and it feels like a bunch of concepts strung together "just because". They aren't blended well together to make something that I can stand and look at as a complete picture or as a collaborative and cohesive effort. That's why I say the games that I've felt were the most cohesively-designed in the last few years were Tales of Graces f, Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Super Mario 3D World, Bayonetta, etc. They ended up doing a lot of their own things while expanding on some other mechanics their counterparts had, but did it in such a nicely-blended manner that it's hard to ignore how well they did it.
PS: did the patch fix this
are they going to patch regular controls in for the 3ds version so i can actually finish it

Due to the way he's shaded and drawn, it kinda reminds me a bit of that cancelled fan film (specially towards the end).But it definitely reminds me of something.

I wish Project M's Green Hill Zone wasn't so damn small, because I don't think I'll be playing on any other stage now that I've changed most of the music

SonicGAF's Song of the Day - #76
Remix Spotlight!
Song: Faster Than a Speeding Ballad (Radical Train ~ The Chase)
Game: Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)
Album: Blue Skies, Green Hills
Composer: Tomoya Ohtani
Arrangement: Falk
I didn't need much of an excuse to break this one out.
I wasn't too fond of most of this album (sorry Pietepiet), but Falk knocked this track straight into orbit 'cause that's just what he does. It's a fairly straight arrangement on the whole, save for a couple key differences: One, it's mixed to have a much cleaner sound than the grungy original, and two, HORNS. Brass licks all over the place and a saxophone replacing one of the original's guitars conspire to make it an even livelier piece than it already was.
'06's style is perfect for a train stage, by the way. Every track in this game starts off slow and builds to a head anyway, and nothing suits that better than ten thousand tons of metal getting up to speed.

That was pretty enjoyable to listen to. The horns make it in this piece.
Sonic 06's style is also perfect for that train stage, because it wrecks itself so spectacularly.
Sonic 2 iOS/Android releases tomorrow and guess what's in it...!

I made a thread. It's super cool work and I was worried that restoring a whole lost level might prove too difficult even for Taxman, but there you have it.
Hope Knuckles is in it too.

Welp
I was just about to get 3D Sonic 1, but if frickin Taxman Sonic 2 comes out tomorrow and I just got a phone that'll actually run it?

Wait what.
Assuming you are going to use a completed file and just play through each level and boss, sure. If you are actually going to start the game from the beginning with level 1 werehog and have to hunt medals at some point, no.
Dark Schala
Eloquent Princess
you know you can pop sonic 1 into your genesis/retron3 at any time and play it like that right
ps: i'm out of it and don't feel like adhering to proper grammar, ok
if you have a clear file, sure
as biased as i am towards unleashed, playing it from a file completely started over might not be in your best interest because the unbalanced the werehog's stats fairly poorly.
i replayed it and the wii version last year and had a blast
dont feel like hooking my genesis and retron 3
plus its nice seeing this game in 3d
shame the audio emulation is noticeably off

port ruined
i can't see 3d well so i hope it's nice for those who can
funnily enough the only game that i can actually see 3d kind of well in is bravely default

at least backbone didn't do that port
not being backbone port = better than backbone port

I'd probably argue that an M2 port is pretty much the exact opposite of a Backbone port.
Space Harrier 3D is so good you guys.

It's worth £5, put it that way. Stick on cabinet view and cabinet movement, put 3D on full blast, put the difficulty all the way up and the game is a fucking thrill.

3D Space Harrier is pretty much on the same level of Taxman's ports, right down to the whole "adding content that wasn't in either game's original release" thing.

I seriously want to strangle somebody over this Hidden Palace zone stuff because why would you do all these cool things on a platform where on-screen touch controls are THE WORST?

I think it's good he's remaking the original games to start with. He's going to know so much about the ins and outs of every little detail of every 16-bit Sonic stage (assuming they allow him to do S3&K), even more than when he first started with Sonic CD. He had to rebuild them, he had to retweak them, he had to test over and over. When they finally trust him with a new 2D Sonic game, and they should, he's going to know how to echo the original structure in a new product.
And then they're going to make him put homing attacks and Silver the Hedgehog in.
The worst thing is that is exactly what would happen (well not silver but the gameplay would be altered.)
It warms my heart to see people finally be able to credit Ice Cap properly.
And that GHZ freestyling is something else.
Holy fucking shit that first transition was so slick, I almost didn't notice.
This guy continues to put out awesome stuff

this always freaked me out when i was a kid. well, finals too. what are the subjects?
i've been playing a lot of non-sonic games recently as a procrastinate from returning to tearaway.
super mario 3d world - just fantastic.
gta v - a really weird game in that... i think they achieved the best possible balance rockstar could find, but i still find myself wondering if the game would be better if it did x... and that would come at the detriment of other element y. i do like, but a bunch of things feel like a missed opportunity.
metal gear rising: revengeance - watching the credits on this bad boy right now. this feels like a ps2 era game in 2013. i mean that in the best way possible, flaws and all.
tearaway's good too. i just don't know why i keep putting it off. i got pretty far and it's the one thing keeping me from starting zelda.
