Makes me wonder how they're going to handle Sonic 3 & Knuckles. Quote
Imagist Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 Did anyone else get a hiccup with the system update notification thing? This morning my system was glowing and I had a message board post from Nintendo claiming there was an update, but when I went to grab it I was told my firmware was up-to-date. When I came back from classes it was glowing again and there was not only a notification that the Metroid Prime 3 Preview Channel was now available, but duplicates of both messages. I tried to update again and nothing. Uhhh... what. Quote
Power Surge Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 Quick question about Sonic 3 & Knuckles on the VC: Is it the original version with the Michael Jackson music or the later version in which the original music was replaced? Quote
Antipode Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 Quick question about Sonic 3 & Knuckles on the VC: Is it the original version with the Michael Jackson music or the later version in which the original music was replaced? I was under the impression the version where the music was replaced was actually the PC port. Quote
SilverStar Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 Quick question about Sonic 3 & Knuckles on the VC: Is it the original version with the Michael Jackson music or the later version in which the original music was replaced? Neither. S3&K isn't up there yet. Only the vanilla Sonic 3. Quote
Devyn Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 I wouldn't buy any of the Sonic games. Get the Sonic Mega collection Plus for Gamecube. It has way more games (including Ristar!), the Genesis Sonic games (including the 3d blast one), several Gamegear games, and Ristar. It probably only cost 20 bucks by now - It's a much better deal. Anyway, it looks like the new Zelda zapper game is no joke (yesterday I thought it was fake): http://wii.ign.com/articles/819/819020p1.html Quote
KakTheInfected Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 I wouldn't buy any of the Sonic games. You could have stopped there. Quote
shikigami Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 yeah i never liked sonic. seemed like a mario game with a gimmick (running really fast). Quote
Devyn Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 Oh give me a break, you two are being ridiculous. The Genesis Sonic games were superb. And the only similarity between the Mario and Sonic games are that they were both side scrolling games. Not a bit like Mario. That's just flat out bullshit. Quote
KakTheInfected Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 Step 1: Hold right on the d-pad Step 2: Let Sonic run through the entire stage himself with barely any action from you Step 3: Pretend what you just did was fun Christ, the 3D games were better, but not so much... Quote

Except Sonic 3, where they actually started doing different things. And S3&K, where they added even more things to do, instead of just running across the stage. Quote

That's just flat out bullshit. yeah sonic was different because you can move faster and go around in loops. otherwise your running around collecting coins/rings that you dont really need to collect, and each area had several stages which had a boss at the end of it.

The Author Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 Meh, since it was played on a TV and used light to represent characters, its obviously just like Pong. I dare you to try and play sonic just by holding right on the Dpad. You won't make it out of the first level. Quote
Bigfoot Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 Don't forget Sonic games were powered by blast processing. I'm surprised the Wii can even emulate them. Quote
shikigami Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 Don't forget Sonic games were powered by blast processing. I'm surprised the Wii can even emulate them. blast processing is a pretty old concept, im sure if the wii doesnt do it in hardware the software does it quick enough. ill be surprised if the wii can emulate superfx and castlevania 3.

Yeah, in almost every game you run around collecting something - comic books, coins, rings, pieces of cheese, healing potions, rupees, extra lives, pieces of fruit. Also, yeah there's a boss at the end of the stage in hm, which games? Oh my heavens, just about every friggin' one! I THINK YOU JUST MADE ME HAD AN EPIPHANY. I'VE REALIZED THAT ALMOST EVERY GAME IN THE UNIVERSE IS RIPOFF OF MARIO. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ENLIGHTENING ME WITH YOUR FANTASTIC THEORY! Quote
Bigfoot Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 The world would be pretty boring if people couldn't use similar ideas from other things. Quote
SilverStar Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 The world would be pretty boring if people couldn't use similar ideas from other things. Shh. that's what the entire OS market is about. And MS wants to make sure no one can rip off what they ripped off! Quote
KakTheInfected Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 If I leave him idle, he looks at me and taps his foot! OMG SO COOL! SO RAD! Stupid useless mascot. Quote
!Nekko! Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 My emotion because of this thread right now: ...rofl Quote
Devyn Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 It's basically being trolled in as if it's the PS3 thread. Quote
Neo Samus Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 Serious, what's with the fighting? Ok fine, so not everyone likes sonic I can deal with that but there's no need bitch about how much it sucks/awesome it is? Oh wait......I forgot this is the internet where EVERYONE has an opinion...... Quote
Alpine Flame Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 Shh. that's what the entire OS market is about. And MS wants to make sure no one can rip off what they ripped off! But I like Windows, OSX, and Linux.... in addition to liking both Mario and Sonic. Am I a traitor to all camps? Man, I like my freedom. Quote
