It took quite a while but with Sonic X Shadow Generations, Superstars, Frontiers, and of course Mania, the Sonic Switch library can finally be labeled as "acceptable".
@@kingslayer2999nah I haven't seen it. more importantly, have you actually played it yourself? i have, and can confidently say it's a worthy follow up to sonic 2 and 3K
@@kingslayer2999I really like superstars I played the multiplayer mode after 2 players it just gets really bad But that doesn’t change the fact that the single player experience is still really good
Colours Ultima is still the biggest sting. It had no right being actively worse than the original release. People at the time liked to complain about remasters that used emulation but I EWISH that's what they had done. Could have got the game to 60 on Switch.
I remember going to E3 in 2017 (RIP) and we went to the Sonic booth where they were letting people play either Forces or Mania and the line was super long for Mania, almost nobody was going for Forces. Didn't help that depending on the game you played, you got that game's respective poster to take home and nobody wanted the Forces one.
Owning all of them on Switch, the only one I would not recommend on Switch is Sonic Colors. (maybe it got patched tho, idk) I bought Sonic Frontiers on both Switch and Series X, and boy was the Series X version not much better outside of load times (at launch). Sooooo much pop in.
@@gligarguy4010Stop lol. The pop in is bad regardless of the version but the switch version looks terrible and runs at 30 FPS. Idk why so many Nintendo fans can’t admit the switch has the worst versions of every game
I think it's crazy to see all these Sonic games that were on other consoles, being someone who grew up with the Wii. For context, compared to the Gamecube/PS2 era, the Wii was far less powerful than its rivals, PS3 and Xbox 360. Sonic 06 was supposed to be on all 3, until Sega realized the Wii wasn't powerful enough. So in one of many decisions that led Sonic 06 into being...Sonic 06, Sega split Sonic Team into two groups. One to continue 06, and one to make a new game for the Wii (Secret Rings). Going forward, there would be two home console Sonic game libraries. The Xbox 360/PS3 library (06, Unleashed, Generations, Free Riders on 360 exclusive) and the Wii Library (Secret Rings, a different version of Unleashed, Riders: Zero Gravity, Black Knight, and Colors). If you were a big Sonic fan, you couldn't just have once console for the full experience. You needed two. I only had Wii growing up, but I sometimes wished I could enjoy Generations or primary Unleashed. Wii U was interesting because it had a special deal for exclusives, so it wasn't until the Switch where PS4 and Xbox One got new Sonic games. While the Switch has the slightly inferior versions, I don't feel like I'm missing out. Every game released on PS5 is also on Switch.
I can't help but wonder if the reason Sonic has so little music in Smash is because of how many of them are vocal songs. These are real people's vocals that they need to get the rights to. I will say that while Sonic's soundtrack isn't as big, I do like how many games it covers (16, one of the largest)
But the majority of Sonic’s music tracks in Smash ARE songs with vocals, and there are ton of iconic non-vocal tracks like Emerald Coast, Radical Highway and Seaside Hill that aren’t there.
Sonic Origins: the truth is somewhere in the middle. It’s not perfect but it’s not awful. They eventually addressed some of the bigger flaws and I know the Sonic 3 music that Brad Buxer made for MJ is better but I was the quality of the “remastered beta” songs didn’t sound so awful. It’s weird.
This might be unfair but I am a nit upset over Sonic Generations (Sonic not Shadow) for Switch as modders have found it can indeed run at a consistent 60fps if it the resolution is lowered to 720p in docked mode, NO overclocking required. Patch that Sega, give us the option.
Kudos on using Cyberspace 1.0 for Frontiers, I'm weirdly addicted to that track too despite it it's just being a simple trance loop. I sometimes play it during special stages in Shadow Generations.
Ngl the more i play frontiers, the more it becomes one of my favorite sonic games lol. Which is wild cos im so Nintendo pilled that the fps and low graphics are what i expect 😂 might play the ps5 version this Christmas that'd be fun 😊
Credit to the team for listening to feedback and giving it some great QOL updates. Frontiers isn’t perfect but I would argue that it’s pretty great nowadays (and Cyberspace OST slaps)
That’s really suck of how Smash Ultimate treated with Echo Fighters, it was cool idea to have alternate characters for already existing characters. The problem is that they never go all the away with the idea. If they ever do a Smash Bros 6 game, I would like them to go all out with incoming new fighters and Echo fighters. And also adding more Sonic characters like Shadow and Knuckles
Sorry but no... Sonic forces is not that bad. Honestly the hate for forces is so overblown. People act like they have ptsd flashbacks over it and people who have such a huge genuine hatred of forces honestly are more laughable than game journos that say "The Blue Blur has never been the same since his jump to 3d" or "I've had enough of Sonic's Shitty Friends" or people who still bitch about Sonic 06. It's that pathetic to me. Sonic Forces is just mediocre. It's lame, uninteresting and not worth any hatred or praise.
Back when it was brand new I played Forces for the first time on switch and then I didn't touch it for 7 years. Don't know if it's just because I'm used to smooth PC gameplay or if my switch was getting old but I tried replaying Forces on that same switch and it felt so terrible
When my friend said Forces was the best Sonic game they ever played even after playing the nintendo online Sonic 2 i went out to the store got them Generations and said here play a good Sonic game instead😂 if they think Forces is the best they needed to be educated on what a good Sonic game actually is

Let's make Sonic forces' spot in last place a comfy one

Sonic colors ultimate was definitely rough at launch. After the patches though, I'd say it aint that bad. It's still very much sonic colors.
Wow a Sonic Racing Crossworlds name drop even tho we know literally nothing about the game from a 30 second teaser 😂

That was a mistake.

Hope we might get the GBA Sonic games on NSO. Sega, work out those rights issues with THQ, please, have some pride.
