Been getting a lot of questions about mixing models and animations. I went over it briefly in my previous video but here's a written tutorial: x.com/SockTiger/status/1772362406292799708?s=20 (you need an account to view the whole thread)
I don't understand why they make one of the best character models and just don't use them in the main games! like, if they do this for spin off games why don't they do it for the main games too? the same thing for the Sonic Forces Speed Battle skins which have great designs and concepts and are for mobile games, it would be perfect if they made a port of these skins and models for the games as free DLC or as a bonus to be unlocked within the game, now that they are adding the customization option more frequently, why not combine all the good and best things they've ever done and put everything together in the games?
Rio 2016 is actually a sega developed game, it was made by Sega Sports R&D, who have made all the Mario and Soni titles. Funnily enough though the lead character artists from Rio 2016, Shiniji Matsuura, actually did work on Sonic Forces. Which is where the current, and much reviled, Sonic model originates from
23:29 Hey everyone! Creator of ECLIPSE SONIC here, Happy to see that y'all enjoy sock's mod! (It's so sureal to see my Sonic form In a game, and frontiers no less) Hope y'all enjoyed it!
Great work, I just was a necessity to show it off! I've headcanoned that he gets his power from the sun 😎 and I know his abilities would be some of the coolest in the franchise! I can imagine him summoning smaller spirit bombs similar to the one The End detransforms Super Sonic with.
It's the one I keep gravitating to on my own time 😅 I don't even mind the current art direction but it's a little odd how little Modern Sonic has dipped their toes into stylization. Seems about time we get something on par with Battle or Riders again
god i WANT IT SO BAD. any cel shaded 3D stuff could look so good with sonic, especially if they go all spiderverse and add in comic shading techniques and lower frame rates
Bro the mcdonalds sonic reminds me of that scene in sonic boom where some random side character goes "i have no mercy...I WORK IN THE FAST FOOD INDUSTRY"
4:29 - 4:56 feels so much like sonic x for me, I love how the cell shaded skin looks with the running animation, it fits better with it. And the fortress fight just felt like Sonic X
Funny thing, that actually is possible and I want to try it soon! To my knowledge not every character has a stylized celshader model (only Sonic & Amy with Knuckles having one in dev) but we probably won't wait long :)
15:42 it's actually 30s animation that mostly used the pacman eyes. A lot of Disney cartoons you may remember (like Donald eating pills to change his voice, or Goofy road raging) are from the 40s.
there is a new version of Reanimated out. the first version had no update server connection. Honestly through me for a loop seeing some of the original stuff again
YOOO MY FRIEND MADE THIS COAHCJIAJCNAIIQNCHAO also the cel shaded sonic was based off of the art work (if I remember correctly) Thanks for playing his mod !!
This model and all the skins were very well done, Sock really prepared a very good pack for the mod and I'm curious to see what he will add next because his work is very good and I loved how he used Rio Sonic model as a basis for making skins like the track suit, which is one of my favorites and not only did he use one of the best models (in the case of the olympics) but he keeps adding as many options to customization as possible as if it were an official DLC! In other words, there will still be a lot of content to show and make videos as well as Meloh's mod updates, which is very good besides that it will also add skins from Sonic Forces Speed Battle which in my opinion have great skins and if you combine this with Meloh's mod from Sonic Frontiers Reanimated you have the perfect combo and I think it's funny that apparently it was SEGA itself who did it the character models for the olympic games and they don't use the best models for the main games! why? It would be so good if they reused the good things and put them all together
Yeah, I love that even though this is mainly an import from another existing game it's also full of original additions from Sock themself. It makes it more valuable to try out
OK yeah I'm sold, this looks fire. Most of the time I feel too smooth brained to have an opinion on Sonic 3D models of all things but now I want Rio Sonic everywhere
I'm in a similar boat. Usually I can't tell what's so different between things like the Unleashed, Gens & Marza models but this one has it's own stylization that should be the blueprint.
@@DolphynsDeck Fully agreed, I'd love to see Sonic keep these proportions going forward. To be fair I don't know how much leg work Frontiers Reanimated is doing lol, I know how impressive that mod is, but even just seeing Rio Sonic standing there looks really cool, so there's definitely good merit to the model
As a person who beat secret rings, i will say that the ring that Sonic is wears is not a world ring. It is shara's genie ring. The 7 world rings are different from genie rings. Aside from that, great video.
Oh no I absolutely agree! He's probably my favorite transformation next to Excalibur right now but I didn't notice anything new about him in the mod. The first time I saw him I yelled "is that a fleetway reference??"
I think the only thing missing from this model is the "partial" removal of the butt-brow, and only allow that to show up in certain emotions, like that one art of classic sonic where his eyebrows are relaxed so the butt-brow isn't there, would help a lot with expressions, you would be able to tell if he's angry or not without the need for him to smile.
oooh, you mean butt-brow only exists when he needs it? I like that. I see that stylization a lot in official art for classic sonic and it makes him feel inherently more chill.
@@DolphynsDeck a lot of the issues the current model has with expression is entirely because of the American box art having sonic stuck in one expression, which forced them to use his eyelids and his mouth a lot, they could get a lot more out of sonic's face if they made the butt-brow flat in neutral expressions, and only actually show up when he's angry or frustrated or even sad.
Awesome video, one thing about the Olympics models that surprising to me is there detail, back in 2017, Sochi 2014 was actually the best Mario model in terms of ploy count (obviously before Odyssey dropped) which is funny because it was made by Sega, but as for Sonic's Olympic model, I find the center mouth to look uncanny at times, something about it looks kinda bootlegged to me, but I guess it works well for things like having him talk and emote
While I like the Odyssey model there's something slightly off about his texture materials for me. I really enjoy the detail on Brawl Mario but in Odyssey it doesn't look the most appealing with that art style. Extreme nitpick but it felt relevant lol. In general I think it looks best next to the CG 2000s model
9:59 tbh, we have enough costumes for Sonic to make an entire game based around that, just to name a few here: Regular Soap Shoes Riders Outfit Sharha's Ring, her "Magic Lamp" (from Secret Rings) Gauntlet (from Black Knight) Puma Shoes (from the Movie) Olympic Games shoes/shirt+All the 4/5 outfits from the 2020 Tokyo Olympics Baseball outfit (from Speed Battle) Pirate Sonic (from Sonic Dash) "King" Sonic (not the one from Archie, but from the Sonic Channel artworks and SEGA satues with a red cape and a crown in one of his ears) Racesuit (from Adventure 2) All the 4/5 Sonic X Shoes PSO outfit (from the Dreamcast version of SA2) Link Outfit (from the WiiU version of Lost World) etc.
People have been cooking with all these outfit/model mentions in the comments today. I'm impressed with the variety of things you pulled from. I think the racesuit is lowkey underrated outside of the SA2 community, would like to see more rep. Archie King Sonic needs a mod though, that's the one I prefer
@@DolphynsDeck tbh, as much as I dislike King Sonic from Archie (especially personality-wise), I think his design is kinda cool ngl My favorite design for a "king" Sonic still is the Sonic Channel outfit, his cape and crown are just so pretty, but I can totally understand wanting a mod for Archie's King Sonic
@@DaFunniGuy yeah I felt a bit disappointed in his portrayal as well but it was a different time. the design was cool to me as a kid which is where a lot of the bias comes from. sonic channel design is objectively better imo, I just love archie lol
The only thing Nintendo did in terms of the Olympics was allowing Mario characters to be in the game… EVERYTHING else is made by Sega. so safe to say it’s the furthest from Nintendo model of Sonic lol it’s literally a sonic franchise
What's the jumpball mod? Also what physics mod do you use? (i hate the original game speed) Also which combat mod do you use? Also what is that superform mod?
@@DolphynsDeck Have you reviewed combat mods yet? They can make PVP quite fun or hell depending on which one you download, there's some cool ones out there It could be a great idea for your next video
@@malldavid16601 I haven't really seen many that interested me but I'm definitely 100% making a video on Project: Accel when it drops. Looks like one of the first to completely change how your moves work. If you have recommendations let me know though!
If you don’t mind me asking what settings do you use for graphics enhancement mod? I’ve been using the mod lately but haven’t done a deep dive into the settings yet!
bro that dark sonic part was so fire you should get like alot of skin mods like tails knuckles amy even more for sonic and just have a mega video im sure that would get tons of veiws
Sega has done so well with this game, and it has come a long way. I dont think anything in the Sonic francise has made me jump up and scream like the Final Horizon update. Except when Super Sonic showed up at the end of Sonic 2's movie. They wanted to make Sonic as cool as possible, and they succeeded. Never has Sonic given me the same vibes as seeing Ultra Instinct Goku did when he first appeared on screen. Sonic will forever and always be one of the slickest and coolest characters in video games.
I have the exact same experience with this game and Sonic 2, lmaooo. Growing up on the Archie comics it was crazy to get a game that put me in the driver seat and encouraged the same kind of action I usually only saw in those books because they had infinite creative freedom. And then Final Horizon happened and met my expectations for an ideal Sonic game. It was beautiful.
I think these Models are good mainly cus there not trying to be an HD version of the Adventure model also I really hope the next main line sonic game gives us more sonic skins
I hope the next game gives us alternate skins like this, not just for Sonic but for each playable character. 30 years of history to pull from, even the Speed Simulator and Sonic Channel stuff. The Sonic cast is just begging to have customizable features. It was nice with the costumes we did have in Frontiers. But I hope that for the next game they are actually purchasable in in-game shops and there are far more of them then what we have in Frontiers. If Mario can do it in Odyssey I don't see why Sonic can't.
When they added the Holiday Cheer & Monhun outfits I was unnecessarily happy because it felt like direct references to Sonic Channel 😊 Considering the popularity of skin mods & the Generations customization mod I think it's solid proof that they could do more with the designs. It always confused me why costume DLC wasn't more frequent for Frontiers and Superstars. Hell, half the reason I play Speed Battle is for the alt costumes. Being able to fish for skins would've been INCREDIBLY sick
@@DolphynsDeck maybe certain costumes can be bought in certain open zones. Depending on the biome and location. Like you can buy Sonic's summer outfit from Speed Simulator in a beach biome, or the suit and tie outfit from Sonic Rivals 2 in a Casino biome. Why stop at just Sonic? Why not give the cast costumes based off other SEGA properties, a Jet Set Radio costume for Sonic or a Ulala outfit for Amy.
@@DolphynsDeck Tails getting a Phantasy Star outfit. I was thinking they could have Eggman bases on different biomes in the open zone. These Eggman bases would reflect the biome and would have combat gauntlets, platforming, puzzles, and a boss fight. At the end you would get an Egg Memo.
You need to have the DLCs for certain costumes to appear. The only ones I don't have installed are the Adventurer's Treasure Box and Korone (because it's region locked)
idk why tried the mod with me but when i have the reanimated thing but 1. his nose was TAN, 2.when i just set it to default it just goes back to vanilla sonic that i dont like :( and 3. the jumpball was also still the vanilla one , can you pls help me how to fix this pls dolphyns deck :( ...also im 10
Hey so question, for some reason Reanimated frontiers and Sock's Rio Sonic isnt working together anymore, it strangely enough picks one over the other even though Socks said that it would be best to use reanimated frontiers with his mod i was hopeing you had a fix for this xD would love to have some help bringing my game to life with these animations and the O6 gear~
Man my mod doesnt work like yours, i dont have anything in the extras, also i dont know where to put Meloh's frontiers reanimated mod in the list, any ideas?
Whatever's the latest version is probably what I got. For some reason that one doesn't work on Final Horizon saves (in which case I use a different mod called Improved Camera iirc)
I really like it except one thing : The middle mouth. We got away from it and we shouldn't get any close to it ever again, animation with it feels either gross or out of place!
how tho, the middle mouth looks more natural than it being permanently stuck on the side, especially when hes looking at the camera ideally the mouth should be able to move around all across his muzzel and should be positined to face the camera at all times
I think my only issue with the reanimated mod is that, the normal standing animation looks so weird, the bend in his knees don't look right, the rest of the animation is awesome!
are you talking about the Uekawa Sonic mod or just that art style in general? but yeah, I think brawl / 06 sonic works really well in this game because of the realism direction they went in
@@DolphynsDeck i'm talking about the Uekawa mod, i had just forgotten his name 😅. Anyway, i think the 06 and Brawl models would work not only because of the realistic aesthetics, but also because preety much every character sounds and acts like an older and more matured self, and to visually connect the characters to their evolved mindsets (for the lack of a better word), an aged up model would be very fitting
I think the movie designs should've been used for Frontiers. Cartoon Sonic in a realistic open world just feels a bit off. He feels super out of place like he did in 06
Makes sense though. The basic model has gotten derpy, then it underped but got stale. The Olympic Game models are copying the look but don't carry over the same nuances, giving us something slightly different and fresh. BECAUSE it's different, it feels better to see. These are still not my favorite but I can see why people like them. Not so sure it was Nintendo that made them though. Coulda swore that Olympic Games was developed mostly on SEGA's side but idk.
@@DolphynsDeck Yeah. Mine is the Dreamcast SA2 model. Idk there’s something about how all the aspects balance each other out and feels made up of circles and curves lines like the 2D artwork by Yuji Uekawa. I feel a sense of style and energy with it. That’s just me. I do like elements of the Riders model too. I mean I like the whole thing but it’s very much FOR the Riders games when looked at as a whole.
I replaced the animation files in the "main" folder for the character models. There's a thread on it here: twitter.com/SockTiger/status/1772362406292799708?s=20
@@Ivan210bluboi at least in most of the world it’s not illegal to jailbreak systems, rather it’s what you do with it that’s the deciding factor. I think Mods themselves are kinda a legal gray area as it is. Though I do understand that Nintendo will always find a way to win a lawsuit one way or another

Still I just see a picture
Classic sonic always had flesh eyelids ever since sonic 1
where is the link to the sonic frontiers murder of sonic the hedgehog skin
wheres the mod link for the ova costume mod at 7:54
It's funny, cause SEGA were the ones developing the Olympic games. I think they made every single one and not Nintendo.
so you’re telling me they made the best models for sonic characters, EVER
and just don’t use them
@@NeonStudios763 They only ever use them in spin-offs. The last time they were used were in the mobile Sonic at the Olympics.
@@smashbronikko *ahem*

True
There's Only One Thing Missing Here...
*_Darkspine Sonic_*
Come to think of it, idk if I've seen a mod for him at all? His model fits this fight's animations more than any other tbh.
@@DolphynsDeck Guess We Gotta *_politely_* Ask Sock Tiger To Make A Darkspine Sonic Model
@@clairebennett9104*Holds up pitchfork and torch* Aight I’m ready to politely ask
Imagine his friends, the Titans and Atmosphere being cell shaded. Turning frontiers into a whole new game really is possible
Funny thing, that actually is possible and I want to try it soon! To my knowledge not every character has a stylized celshader model (only Sonic & Amy with Knuckles having one in dev) but we probably won't wait long :)
15:42 it's actually 30s animation that mostly used the pacman eyes. A lot of Disney cartoons you may remember (like Donald eating pills to change his voice, or Goofy road raging) are from the 40s.
Absolutely killer editing during the whole fight against The End, it went so hard
(Also thanks for showing my art as the endcard :D)

I hope the next game gives us alternate skins like this, not just for Sonic but for each playable character. 30 years of history to pull from, even the Speed Simulator and Sonic Channel stuff. The Sonic cast is just begging to have customizable features. It was nice with the costumes we did have in Frontiers. But I hope that for the next game they are actually purchasable in in-game shops and there are far more of them then what we have in Frontiers. If Mario can do it in Odyssey I don't see why Sonic can't.
When they added the Holiday Cheer & Monhun outfits I was unnecessarily happy because it felt like direct references to Sonic Channel 😊
Considering the popularity of skin mods & the Generations customization mod I think it's solid proof that they could do more with the designs. It always confused me why costume DLC wasn't more frequent for Frontiers and Superstars. Hell, half the reason I play Speed Battle is for the alt costumes.
Being able to fish for skins would've been INCREDIBLY sick
@@DolphynsDeck maybe certain costumes can be bought in certain open zones. Depending on the biome and location. Like you can buy Sonic's summer outfit from Speed Simulator in a beach biome, or the suit and tie outfit from Sonic Rivals 2 in a Casino biome. Why stop at just Sonic? Why not give the cast costumes based off other SEGA properties, a Jet Set Radio costume for Sonic or a Ulala outfit for Amy.
@@MegaGeek-gr6ts imagine an outer-space egg-base map where you can unlock the space channel outfits lol
@@DolphynsDeck Tails getting a Phantasy Star outfit. I was thinking they could have Eggman bases on different biomes in the open zone. These Eggman bases would reflect the biome and would have combat gauntlets, platforming, puzzles, and a boss fight. At the end you would get an Egg Memo.
You would love the cel shaded variant of this model and universal shaders, it looks so good
I actually tested that out after this was recorded! I'd like to show off that combo in a video sometime soon
GOD!!!!! GOD!!!!! I LOVE THIS!!!!!!
AWESOME! (Where was the Brawl Sonic model?)
It's in the description
Thx!
Fun fact: The real-life Sonic movie shoes cost around $1,000.
Fun fact: they will be mine one day
idk why but in the EXTRAS menu it dosent show all the costumes it only shows hologram sonic and scourge
also earned a sub
You need to have the DLCs for certain costumes to appear. The only ones I don't have installed are the Adventurer's Treasure Box and Korone (because it's region locked)
@@DolphynsDeck ok thanks
what's the cel shading mod's name at 3:33 ?
It's just called 'Cel Shaded Sonic' from the extras tab in the Rio Sonic mod
im trying this out, and for some reason reanimated frontiers just won't fork with rio sonic, any ideas to fix it?
oh nvm that's what the twitter link is for my bad
well crap i don't have an account, and i'm not allowed to make one- help
I made my own tutorial th-cam.com/users/shortsxdHx-hJRedg?si=CQqM0aNeFmdf9TAv
@@DolphynsDeck OMG BRO thank you sm
idk why tried the mod with me but when i have the reanimated thing but 1. his nose was TAN, 2.when i just set it to default it just goes back to vanilla sonic that i dont like :( and 3. the jumpball was also still the vanilla one , can you pls help me how to fix this pls dolphyns deck :( ...also im 10
Use this guide to successfully use the animation files: twitter.com/SockTiger/status/1772362406292799708?t=_oOy1GceAPXlxtZbe9O9MA&s=19
@@DolphynsDeck I only see a pic :(
Hey so question, for some reason Reanimated frontiers and Sock's Rio Sonic isnt working together anymore, it strangely enough picks one over the other even though Socks said that it would be best to use reanimated frontiers with his mod i was hopeing you had a fix for this xD would love to have some help bringing my game to life with these animations and the O6 gear~
I just replace the animation files on the model
11:13 Gonna kms😭 (You earned a subscriber but you made had to bleach my eyes bro 💀 )
this means you're installing the joe rogan dlc right
@@DolphynsDeck Yes.
Man my mod doesnt work like yours, i dont have anything in the extras, also i dont know where to put Meloh's frontiers reanimated mod in the list, any ideas?
try this x.com/SockTiger/status/1772362406292799708?s=20
did you just pull off an altered sonic space program at 4:40
yep! it's a cyloop one that speedrunners specifically use to get around the islands on chaos without using rails or birds!
Which download of Locos Reimagined FOV did you download? cant get it to work past the loading save file screen
Whatever's the latest version is probably what I got. For some reason that one doesn't work on Final Horizon saves (in which case I use a different mod called Improved Camera iirc)
I really like it except one thing : The middle mouth. We got away from it and we shouldn't get any close to it ever again, animation with it feels either gross or out of place!
I... actually didn't notice that was a thing lol. I'll check it out next time I boot up
@@DolphynsDeck Wait, no! I meant in the olympic game! Sorry... This mods doesn't have it, but in the wii u game, the middle mouth is there!
I'll take it unless they learn how to properly animate the mouths. The side view looks weird in 3d
how tho, the middle mouth looks more natural than it being permanently stuck on the side, especially when hes looking at the camera
ideally the mouth should be able to move around all across his muzzel and should be positined to face the camera at all times
I took so much screenshots cuz DAYUM some frames goes *hard*
cant seem to get the model mod and animations to work together, very mad about it
gotta do this x.com/SockTiger/status/1772362406292799708?s=20
@@DolphynsDeck been trying and the program needed in the links isnt downloadable anymore so i cant even get it to work sadly
“Nintendos depiction-“ they were developed by sega.
Nothing gets passed this guy
This models are not made by Nintendo btw, they're not Nintendo's depiction of Sonic, all the Olympic Games are developed by SEGA
Yeah, I didn't want to re-record after I learned that unfortunately. At the very least Brawl Sonic was made by HAL I guess lol
Olympic Games was sega right?
Yep! I wanted to make the comparison that both models were related to Nintendo but got my facts wrong
I think my only issue with the reanimated mod is that, the normal standing animation looks so weird, the bend in his knees don't look right, the rest of the animation is awesome!
I'm pretty sure there's a new idle animation in the current version
@@DolphynsDeck Oh hell yeah! That's great!
Brawl Sonic is totally the best Sonic model. But the cell-shaded Adventure Cover Art Sonic looks better to me
are you talking about the Uekawa Sonic mod or just that art style in general?
but yeah, I think brawl / 06 sonic works really well in this game because of the realism direction they went in
@@DolphynsDeck i'm talking about the Uekawa mod, i had just forgotten his name 😅.
Anyway, i think the 06 and Brawl models would work not only because of the realistic aesthetics, but also because preety much every character sounds and acts like an older and more matured self, and to visually connect the characters to their evolved mindsets (for the lack of a better word), an aged up model would be very fitting
😮
15:09 KINGDOM HEARTS MENTIONED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Question: Will these mods work for PS5 Sonic Frontiers? I don't wanna buy it again just to play with these mods.
No, they only sometimes work on Switch when it comes to consoles. The game is 50% off on PC right now though.
the models aren't made by nintendo. the games are made by SEGA, published by Nintendo
They sure published the hell out of those models
*How do you get the animation mod to conbine with the models?*
I'm going to be posting a tutorial on this soon
I think the movie designs should've been used for Frontiers.
Cartoon Sonic in a realistic open world just feels a bit off. He feels super out of place like he did in 06
Makes sense though. The basic model has gotten derpy, then it underped but got stale.
The Olympic Game models are copying the look but don't carry over the same nuances, giving us something slightly different and fresh. BECAUSE it's different, it feels better to see.
These are still not my favorite but I can see why people like them. Not so sure it was Nintendo that made them though. Coulda swore that Olympic Games was developed mostly on SEGA's side but idk.
Do you have a favorite model? Atm mine are probably SA1 (Dreamcast), Rio & Rush
@@DolphynsDeck Yeah. Mine is the Dreamcast SA2 model. Idk there’s something about how all the aspects balance each other out and feels made up of circles and curves lines like the 2D artwork by Yuji Uekawa. I feel a sense of style and energy with it. That’s just me. I do like elements of the Riders model too. I mean I like the whole thing but it’s very much FOR the Riders games when looked at as a whole.
How did you make the reanimated mod work with another model?
I replaced the animation files in the "main" folder for the character models. There's a thread on it here: twitter.com/SockTiger/status/1772362406292799708?s=20
is this avaible on ps4?
Switch is the only console that can play mods
They have the best models right next to Sonic 06 model
Gotta love his dramatically long and sharp 06 quills
Alright... How did you get all the texture in the extra slot in the menu ? Because they don't appear in mine
Not sure how to answer this. I installed the mod, that's it
@DolphynsDeck does it has anything to do the theme you've installed?
@@KriegBlackweil nope, it should all just be included in the regular download. I've used it on vanilla UI and modded UI
we need a tokyo 2020 knuckles mod, cuz he looked way better in that game than he did in frontiers
he's so nice and round in that game and his dreads can flop all over the place, it's wonderful
What are the running animations from
Reanimated Frontiers for the run cycle, HE1 Reborn for his startup animation on the Brawl model
Wish scourge got the attention he deserves
In the video or in general? I'll probably record more with him sometime.
@@DolphynsDeck in general
Is this being played on Steam deck or PC?
PC, I haven't bothered fiddling with bottles to make HMM work yet. It is possible and I'll dedicate some time to testing it one of these days
22:37 bruh startee switching forms lol
Bro went further beyond
Sega developed the Olympic games.
also I really hate the flesh eyes lol
Dude the Olympic games are made by Sega😭 it’s a Sega franchise
The Olympic Games weren't made by Sega 😭
This mod is soo good, it makes me wish i had a PC 😭😭😭
Hope you can get one 🙏 they're super worth it
@@DolphynsDeck I know, but there is one problem right now:
Im broke 💸💸💸
@@Ivan210bluboiif you have a V1 model switch you can jailbreak it and install Sonic Frontiers mods that way.
@@ThemFish75 Ain't no way man, i saw a tutorial for that, and i don't wanna go to jail
@@Ivan210bluboi at least in most of the world it’s not illegal to jailbreak systems, rather it’s what you do with it that’s the deciding factor. I think Mods themselves are kinda a legal gray area as it is. Though I do understand that Nintendo will always find a way to win a lawsuit one way or another
I kinda wished Sega would continue this from now on
They said they want to surpass Mario but there scummy decisions says otherwise
They need to lock tf in and stop locking their good designs behind iHop pancakes
@@DolphynsDeck that was pretty stupid of them but hey we can’t change them unless we step in
Edit: I just got a message about the ihop thing just now
I wish i could get that
do you play fangames? that would be cool.
Yup! I'd love to cover Sonic Robo Blast 2 content eventually.
Chat how do I add mods to frontiers
