Sonic 4 is a happy mistake. A mistake they won't be repeating any time soon.

[QUOTE=HL_Tentacle;52390994]Can I just say that the classic cute badniks are the best?

And now because Eggman's taken over the world in Forces, he's made both Egg Pawns and Badniks look like sleek evil metal things, which is.. weird, but also egg-like more than ever I guess.
[QUOTE=HL_Tentacle;52390994]Can I just say that the classic cute badniks are the best? Fits with the whole idea of Eggman as this guy who's main ambition is to build a frigging amusement park.[/QUOTE] Not just any theme park, one where it's mandatory to go to whether or not you actually want to.
Aaron and his co-host Sergio for the Official Sonic the Hedgehog twitch/youtube stream keep on getting messages on the Sonic Social Media pages asking if any characters die in Sonic Forces, because over the past few weeks prior to e3 Aaron kept on making jokes about Tails dying in Sonic Boom (the show) and Sonic Forces. Earlier, he was just asked what his favorite cut-scene in Sonic Forces was and answered "the one where Tails dies." So, [i]clearly, the rumor that Tails dies in Sonic Forces is confirmed.[/i]

I'm more of a fan of [URL="http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h192/AlexBCA/colourandnewbadniks.png"]Colors / Generations Badnik designs:[/URL] they still have a bit of that cartoony clunkerjunk look to them but with practicality and menacing flair added into the mix. [URL="https://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/sonic/images/d/db/Badnik_collauge.png"]Lost World's designs[/URL] though are just too "Fisher-Price" for my taste; it's to the point you could almost confuse them for actual living beings (blame is still shifted towards the entire art style becoming more Mario-like though).

[QUOTE=Metaru;52391845]Killing tails would be dumb considering we have someone like silver around. I mean why kill the everlasting good cop when you can erase the one reminder that sonic06 happened[/QUOTE] Because Silver was repurposed for Rivals? Also there's that whole early leak thing that got a few things right, and combine that with Tails not showing up at all in the Modern Sonic footage while he's talking in the Classic Sonic stuff, and it seems like Tails got his own time displacement in the plot too. Not saying he should die, but it seems like he'll have maybe, just maybe more of a role than his weird.. plot-fixing but passive role in previous games.

[QUOTE=KnightRider25;52392244][video=youtube;IC-f0Ahi8PQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IC-f0Ahi8PQ[/video][/QUOTE] Did GameXplain seriously make a video over a single sentence?
IDK where to ask since th, so I guess here's appropriate: Does the new mobile release of the Sega Genesis ROMs run like ass for anyone else? Even the old iOS versions ran better back on my iPod Touch 2G Ironically this doesn't apply to Sonic 1 because it's the 2013 remaster.
Yes. The emulator is pretty shitty. It looks like they were planning to use retroarch but in the end they have decided to write their own emulator.
So I recently got Sonic CD and while I'm trying to get a good future for all of the zones and trying to get the Time Stones the Time Stones are the biggest pain in the ass I've dealt with in the game so far. I only managed to get two out of the others so far and trying to get those space ships is so infuriating. I don't remember it being this hard when I played it on emulator.

The 2011 remaster port makes it a lot easier than how it was in the original and the Gems Collection port. Either way, here's a tip: I'd immediately start going for the blue UFO's for the time bonus if they start showing up.
Yeah the ufo bit is trash
Today is Sonic's 26th anniversary!
[QUOTE=redBadger;52393340]Yeah the ufo bit is trash[/QUOTE] Really the only downside of Sonic CD. The music for it is super good though, if your using the JP Tracks.

[QUOTE=Dr. Kyuros;52393368]Today is Sonic's 26th anniversary![/QUOTE] Mania and Forces was announced almost a year ago. Jesus It feels like it was last month. And that was when people freaked out about Forces being on the "NX"

Well, I now officially own Sonic Mania on Steam. Can't wait to play this on my Steam Link when it comes out.
I really can't fucking wait when Stardust Speedway is shown off; whether it's just the Past portion or it becomes a Generations deal and gameplay mechanics from their hallmark games are brought back temporarily, I'm still really hyped either way.

Or, in other words: give us Palmtree Panic bad future! I need oily wasteland in my Sonic game, and the music is ballin'
I hope the metal sonic boss fight (assuming there is one) is a mix of Generations with a few elements from CD. The original boss fight was just a race that came down to whether or not you can outpace Eggman, while generations you actually had to fight him. Though it was too easy. I hope Mania does it like Generations where you have to race him on an infinite track but also deal damage to him while avoiding hazards like spikes.
