www.pushingplay.com "They gave Shadow a gun in his game, and it was predictably horrible. What makes them think a sword will turn the tide of popular opinion for Sonic? The last good Sonic game was Adventure 2 on the Dreamcast. Nothing since then has lived up to the Sonic name. Take for example Sonic the Hedgehog, on the 360. It was riddled with glitches, slow load times (in a game that's all about speed, this problem is only exacerbated), camera and control issues. Secret Rings on the Wii was criticized, albeit not as harshly, for the exact same problems. Both titles saw comparatively low sales for for Sonic games, and the team began to panic."
For over thirty years, Sonic the Hedgehog has provided memorable video game music and brought many artists from around the world together.
The Sega Genesis is a tad underappreciated. This site has already posted about how this console was great for the RPG genre despite the SNES getting more glory. However, that was not the only genre that flourished on the Genesis/Mega Drive.
Shining Force is on my long list of game series should be revived. Same with console Phantasy Star
Shining Force 1, 2 and 3 were awesome, the third one can only be played with emulation along with the translation project because of Episode 2 and 3 that were only released in JP. But I agree, I don't know why SEGA don't revive this franchise, tactics games are very well accepted these days.
I didn't know that about the third one. After the success of the last Fire Emblem, I can't imagine why we don't get more tactics RPGs out there. I'd even take a tactics ogre at this point
YES
i love shining force. i need a bundle with all the games in it.
but the mobile game is coming soon anyways :)
I'm sorry but I feel the list has been made by a person checking his own backlog catalog.
Mortal Kombat 2? missing half of the sounds and animation from the arcade.
And can we say Super dark soul difficulty when we say Earthworm Jim 2
Here's my pick for still holding up and fun
- Shinobi Shadow Dancer, not too tough nor too easy with a good arcade challenge 1 hour long to complete.
- Gunstar Heroes
- Nhl 94
- Thunder Force 3
Great lost with lots of memories. A reboot of the Shadowrun game and Shining Force would keep me entertained and busy for a long time.
-Soleil
-Sonic 2, 3 and knuckles, pinball
-that one x-men game i always forget its name
-that one fighting game that has different characters (a fishmen, an assassin lady, a private detective from the 70s etc)
-shining force 2
-dynamite heady (probably the best looking genesis game, imo)
-wonderboy in monster world
those are the ones that come to mind ha.
Sega CD version is so much better though.. I had both versions back in the 90's
We have gathered the hands-down best nostalgic Android games for those of you who want to take a trip down memory lane.
Is Dr. Robotnik even in these games anymore?
Sonic is dead.
He has been for years.
I think Sega just stopped caring about the character when they didn't have a console riding on his popularity.
To be fair though, the dive in quality can easily be attributed to too many characters. When there's a game called "Sonic the Hedgehog", I want to play most of the game as Sonic. Sonic Rush is the best Sonic game in YEARS!
It's 2D, it's fast paced, the level design harkens back to the old days and, most importantly, there's only two playable characters!
They always claim that the new Sonic game is the one that recaptures the love we had for the old games. I'm starting to think that's not possible.
Amazing. Only Sega could sink their same ship so many times.
Does anyone remember the song from the first level in Sonic Adventure 2? I used to sing it with a group of drunken friends. Good times.
Rollin around at the speed of sound
got places to go
got to follow my rainbooooowww
So corny yet so awesome. It was all downhill after that game.
