When do my Mighty the Armadillo and Flying Squirrel Show characters coming out for PS4? I haven't beaten Sonic Mania yet, and so I want to have them while I'm still early in the third Zone.
 
It's for other platforms including PC. The real mystery is why the other Whitehead Sonic ports are still only on mobile.
Maybe there's an exclusivity thing going on or there's an issue porting it to console and PC. Whether it's firmware, which I doubt because Taxman and Stealth were Sonic hackers for years before this stuff, or legal, which is likely because it's Sega, is probably up in the air.

the next game im gonna bring up is one of the worst sonic games,

i present to you, Shadow the Hedgehog. released in november and december for gamecube, xbox, and ps2. and ps3 in june 2013 (Japan only)


8fv5m2wyb6yz.jpg



this was the first sonic game for jason griffith to start voice acting sonic. along with the rest of the 4kids voice actors.


the cinematic opening



Now believe me, when a game tries to take a darker tone, it usually becomes successful

The legend of zelda has done it with twilight princess
mega man has done it with mega man x and mega man zero
and jak and daxter have done it with jak 2 and 3

this game, however, tries too hard at being dark and fails miserably, using guns and swearing as a form of darkness.



the story takes place after the events of the sonic heroes:

Shadow is still trying to remember his past, about the ark and maria, but then he witnesses an evil alien race known as the Black Arms descend from the sky and begin bringing destruction everywhere around the planet. their leader, black doom (voiced by sean schemmel) appears to shadow and tell him to find the 7 chaos emeralds and bring them to him. shadow believes that the emeralds are the key to him remembering his past and goes off to find them.

meandwhile, GUN's Commander, Abraham Tower (his name in the archie comics) finds out that shadow is still alive (he knew shadow, maria and gerald robotnik on the ark when he was a kid and witnessed black doom and gerald give create shadow before GUN invaded & shut down the ark) and tells his soldiers to find and kill him.

later on in the story, shadow approaches the final stages depending on the choices and missions he makes. there is no neutral mission, only a hero or dark that must be completed to fight the boss.

GUN Fortress (Pure Dark): after central city was destroyed by the ark's eclipse cannon after the ark or the president's escape pod was nearly destroyed but escaped after air fleet, the president and abraham made it to G.U.N fortress, they get a report that the black arms are invading the fortress, and said shadow is sighted among them, Abraham commands his troops to mobilize and activate Diablon, a super battle mech, to ready for combat, and states that he will finally have revenge on shadow about what happened on the ark 50 years ago. shadow enters after hearing geralds voice and states that he knows what to so now.

Dark: Doom's Eye: Destroy GUN's 3 Central Computers then defeat Sonic and Diablon(controlled by Abraham Tower). Shadow then declares he was created to bring order and justice to the humans, and he is "going to destroy this damn planet".

Hero: Rouge: Find the 6th emerald at the end of the stage; afterwards, the two defeat Black Doom, who is pissed at shadow for disobeying him. and Shadow declares he will conquer the universe.


Black Comet (Semi Dark): after certain missions from the ark, air fleet, and iron jungle which he gets the 5th chaos emerald, black doom calls shadow to the black arms' base, the black comet.

Dark: Doom's Eye: Eliminate all the GUN armies infiltrating the base, then defeat Sonic & Diablon and steal the seventh Chaos Emerald. Shadow announces himself the protector and servant of Black Doom.

Hero: Knuckles: Find the center of the comet and get the 6th emerald; eggman appears and demands Shadow hands over the six Emeralds to him. With Knuckles's help, Shadow defeats Eggman and declares that he, and only he, knows what is best and that he is the master of his own life.


Lava Shelter (Neutral): after certain missions from air fleet, iron jungle, or space gadget, shadow remembers events from sonic adventure 2 and heroes and believes that he is a shadow android made by eggman and the original shadow is dead. he decides to go after eggman and kill him.

Dark: Dr. Eggman: Activate the base's lava defenses to stop G.U.N. from entering shadow does this to keep gun from interfewring with his revenge on eggman. Afterwards, Shadow faces Eggman. Upon the Doctor's defeat, he declares that he is a copy, replacement, and, thanks to the Emeralds, stronger version of the original Shadow the Hedgehog

Hero: E-123 Omega: Find Dr. Eggman and defeat his army ; when they find him, Omega and Shadow are determined to defeat him (Shadow stating he will make him regret creating him); when they do, Shadow announces himself "Shadow Android" and that he will take over and lead the Eggman Empire.


Cosmic Fall (Semi Hero): after certain missions from iron jungle, space gadget, or lost impact, abraham tower confronts shadow and tells him of his orign. shadow was shocked about this, but abraham decides to let him go after he realizes that shadow cant remember much.

Dark: Doom's Eye: Find the Chaos Emerald. Shadow and Vector then defeat eggman. He soon declares himself protector of the ARK. An interesting note about this ending is the fact that this is the only ending where Shadow defeats Eggman but spares him

Hero: Vector The Crocodile: FIND THE COMPUTER ROOM!!! before the ark explodes then defeat black doom. Once Shadow gets the last emerald, he accepts to himself that he is an experiment gone horribly wrong, and leaves while Vector tries to comfort him.




Final Haunt (Pure Hero): shadow remembers maria dieing infront of him before he is sent down to the planet in an escape pod. he and sonic see the black comet from the ark and find out that the black arms are connected to it. so they go to it to confront black doom.

Dark: Doom's Eye: Activate the Comet's shield defenses. He later fights Sonic & Diablon. After getting all of the Emeralds, he declares himself the most powerful hedgehog in the universe.

Hero: Sonic: Find Black Doom then defeat him; Shadow announces to keep the promise he made to Maria to "protect the planet she loved so much".



after all the endings were completed, the final story is unlocked where shadow realizes his true mission and that is to kill black doom and the black arms and protect the planet. which make the other endings entirely pointless.




the game was met with negative and unfavorable reviews. the game sold well and got alot of copies sold, but everyonme knows this game is crap. why is it bad?

you can use guns in a sonic game.
there are many glitches.
getting the endings from taking different paths takes really long.
black doom looks more like a final fantasy villain.
the game is too dark and edgy. and uses swearing and guns as a form of darkness. "wheres that DAMN 4th chaos emerald!?"
the controls are slippery.
if you look closely, the character models look out of place, because the models are directly ripped from sonic heroes. WOW Sega! talk about lazy!
the ps2 version suffers from framerate drops.
the npcs are useless and dont help you out alot.
chaos control isnt helpful. its incredibly broken and it can make you skip things that are important to missions you are doing.
chaos blast has short ranged and can be easily spammed.
2 player deathmatch is stupid and unnecessary. you play as shadow robots with gun arms. its worthless and forgettable.


the good points of this game.

the soundtrack. like with every crap sonic game with great OSTs. escpecially the main theme. courtesy of Crush 40


the ost: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvNp0Boas7217wlSWYj25AHEB-oYZ_Q-T

some of the stages are pretty good. like lethal highway, sky troops, and digital circuit.

the game gave birth to 2 hilarious memes to most people "Find the computer room!" and "wheres that DAMN fourth chaos emerald!?"

dr. eggman feels like the only decent voiced character in the game.




ow the edge indeed.

except shadow wasnt hated.
there's a reason why he was brought back after he was supposed to be dead.

I would say it's more people outside of the fanbase who do hate him.
Him talking shit was one of the few decent things about that game. He definitely needs to be a bit more self aware though, if they ever make another game on him.
 
bumping this thread for the next sonic game to talk about. its kind of good.

i present to you, Sonic Battle for the Game Boy Advance. its a beat up arena fighting game. released in december 2003 in japan and january 2004 in the us. published by sega and THQ


SonicBattleBoxart653609.jpg






the game introduced the robot emerl, who can copy and learn abilities by observing his opponents performing them. hes a robot called a Gizoid. Gerald Robotnik discovered him before but sealed him away because he did massive damage to the ark before, which caused GUN and the government to consider gerald's experiments too dangerous and have the ark invaded and shut down.

sonic-battle-emerl.jpg



If you are familiar with the robot Emerl from the Sonic X show. this is the video game that he originates from.

Playable Characters:
Sonic
Tails
Knuckles
Amy
Cream
Shadow
Rouge
E-102 Gamma (Unlockable)
Chaos 0 (Unlockable)


The story, according to fan theories, takes place after shadow the hedgehog.

Dr. Eggman discovers a robot call a Gizoid, which has the ability to absorb chaos emeralds and copy someones abilities from seeing them perform it. but eggman disposes of him, thinking he was useless. but he was later found by sonic.

you go into the POVs of sonic and his friends as they interact with the robot, who they name him Emerl, and over time Emerl begins to develop a personality and become stronger from interacting with sonic and the others and fighting alongside them against eggman and his robots.


The Game was met with positive to mixed reviews. the gameplay was nice and the music was really good too, like green hill and emerald beach. and it was said to be a good beat em up arena for the gameboy advance, it was said that they tried hard to have it be similar to super smash bros

the bad points though about the game:
the design for the story mode
getting skill points for Emerl is very tedious


the game is somewhat kinda good.

I remember this one. I played the hell out of it as a kid, but I haven't quite touched it in a long time. The story wasn't that bad either, for both a Sonic game and a fighting game.

I kind of liked this game because of how different it was and how serious Emerl's development was (even if it was kind of one-sided).

But the actual fighting is kind of easy if you spam E-102's upper combo, have Cream's healing skill, and two good special attacks.
 
Sonic CD is arguably the best the series had to offer. But S3&K is also one of the best. Imho it hasn't been good since Adventure but I won't say the games after were unplayable.

I do like the GBA games
 
alright. next sonic game im gonna bring up is one of the best.


The Sonic Advance Trilogy for the GBA


its sonic back to his 2d roots, like his games from the sega genesis.

Sonic advance 1 and 2 have tiny chao garden, which you can use to connect to sonic adventure DX and Sonic Adventure 2 Battle on the nintendo gamecube to send you chao there and interact with it more.

according to fan theories, sonic advance 1 and 2 supposedly take place before sonic adventure


first game was sonic Advance, released in NA on Jan. 2002

220px-Sonic_Advance_Coverart.png



its a typical sonic story, dr eggman is capturing animals as living batteries for his robots, and sonic and his friends go after him.


the game was then followed up with a sequel. sonic advance 2, released in NA on March 2003


220px-Sonic_Advance_2_Coverart.png



the game introduced Cream the Rabbit and her pet chao cheese. and their mother, vanilla.


the plot is pretty much the same as the first game. but sonic rescues cream from eggman, and she tells him that eggman going after animals again, wanting to use them as living batteries for his robots. sonic, tails, knuckles, and cream must venture out and collect the chaos emeralds and defeat eggman.

amy is unlockable if you clear the story and get all 7 emeralds with all characters.



then there is the third game. Sonic Advance 3, released in NA on June 2004

220px-Sonic_Advance_3_Coverart.png



the game takes place after the events of sonic battle.

Eggman uses the chaos emeralds to split the planet into pieces, sonic is separated from his friends and is stranded with tails. the two must now work together and find their friends and travela round the world and destroy eggman's mechs.

also, a new eggman robot is tailing them. gemerl, who is emerl from sonic battle, eggman rebuilt him after he was destroyed in the ending. but in the ending gemerl was found and reprogrammed by tails to look after cream.



the game brought back the buddy system from knuckles chaotic, which is nice.


all games were met by positive reviews, it was considered to be one of the best handheld trilogies and one of the best selling Game boy advance games.

They're great.
 
Y'all haven't played a Sonic game in years. Clearly we all know the best Sonic game is the one where he has a fucking sword.
I have that game, and I must say, it's rather shitty. The sword is good for tearing the Blue Blur an new asshole every now and then. But the gameplay is kind of boring: Flying buzzsaw, slo-mo slash attacks, and mediocre plot. And as usual, Crush 40 tries to saves the day with an good theme song, but it's not enough for me.

alright. next sonic game im gonna bring up is one of the best.

They're great.

I only have 1 & 3, and they're both look great and all. But what really sold it for me Eggman teaming up with Sonic in the third game (even though that fight was kind of easy).
 
I thought the Sonic Advance exacerbated the original Sonic's worst problem: Not being able to see anything coming at you with all this speed. The GBA's screen is even smaller than a CRT's standard definition. You ended up with so little screen estate I thought it really hurt the gameplay.

Sonic Mania really is a eye opener when it comes to how important it is to give you a big wide screen to see what the hell you're running at.
