    I feel like they shoulda tried a math-based Sonic edutainment game for a slightly older audience, and called it "Sonic (Solve For) X"

    When I was a tiny stupid little girl I saw a shit ton of commercials for the didj and leapster consoles and saw these 2 sonic games in stores, I really wanted the didj and sonic because I could catch a glimpse of him running through hydro city zone in the commercials and got really excited because I thought it was like a portable version of the classic games or something, I kept begging my parents to buy me one of them but they kept telling me no, I'm glad they didn't looking back, it was the one good thing they've ever done parenting wise

    I loved my didj when I was a kid, and I had the Sonic game for it! For some reason the didj version has made itself my favorite version of the game,,,, maybe because I liked that lil obscure handheld so much lol

      @@BasilSquid It may be worth keeping it around still! I'm debating doing a video on different systems I can run DOOM on - and it just so happens that the Didj can both run DOOM and a version of Linux!

    It's probably due to the not-directly-being-recorded-from-the-console situation, but I think the graphics of the Leapster Sonic game look pretty cool :O
    And that's as far as my praise will go LOL.

    I’m not surprised that Sega would have no idea that these games existed. But it’s cool to see the Didj Sonic game in action; I didn’t know there was a console bundle pack with the Sonic game!
    And don’t worry about Sonic’s Schoolhouse, you’ll be able to dive deep into that game soon enough. :p

    Hot Take:
    I don’t hate the Sonic X Leapster Graphics. I kinda like them tbh. For 2005, I honestly don’t think it’s that bad, and it’s pretty stylized.
    At least there are animated cutscenes with voice acting and not stills of characters with text bubbles, and that’s pretty impressive for Leapster lol.

  • @tehrealgh5tbusters
    @tehrealgh5tbusters 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The reason Sonic X for the Leapster lacks the basic Sonic mechanics is because it wasn't originally a Sonic game. Instead, it was a reskin of a different game by Torus Entertainment called "Numbers on the Run: Counting on Zero." The most obvious way you can tell is if you create a profile in the game called ".SONSTER," enter it, and press the B button and the down direction on the D-pad at the same time, you get a menu that says "Zero Cheat Menu."

    Some info: Leapster2 is backwards compatible with all Leapster games (with some having Expanded Play for LS2, whatever that is)
    Also, the Leapster Explorer (2010) is backwards compatible with Didj games (but not the LeapsterGS or the LeapPad tablets)

    Torus games made a lot more than just Leapster games and is still around and developing games for the publisher Outright Games to great sales success to this day.
    They also used to be one of Activision’s Go-To studios for GBA development (the other being Vicarious Visions) and developed many GBA titles for them including DOOM 2, Duke Nukem Advance, and MANY Marvel games.

    I wonder if the creation of those games has something to do with the chairman of LeapFrog being the same man who made the Sega Genesis the success it was back when he was the president of Sega of America back in the 90's. I'm of course talking about Tom Kalinske.

    • @StuffWePlay
      @StuffWePlay  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      While I'm sure that could've been a factor in getting Leapfrog and Sega in contact, at least for the first game, I think the creation of these games just had to do with LeapFrog trying to get as many kid-popular franchises as possible on their systems

    I think my friend's 4 year old would actually enjoy the sonic on the LeapFrog Didj, as horrible as it looks. she's learning how to spell at this point in her life. and every time she sees me playing sonic 1-3&knuckles on my xbox one s, she grabs my switch pro controller and tries to play along, then has a fit if I take sonic off to play something else
