The first sonic game I want for a long time.

supergameboy4626d ago

You should check out Sonic Colors, it's not a bad game. :)

Quagmire4626d ago

Criminally underrated because it wasnt released on the big 3. Imo, they should port it over to Move and Kinect to get the sales and recognition it deserves.

thephillup4626d ago

I think the phrase might not suck has been used for almost all of the Sonic games when the are announced. Shockingly, they all end up sucking.

That pic just put a huge smile on my face. XD

Oldman1004626d ago

Lol, the only reason i clicked on this article.

battyschlaps1224626d ago

I clicked on the story to get a better look at Sonic's face.

It was worth it.

Convas4626d ago

Wait wait, November 1st? Against Uncharted 3 on PS3?! Are they mad?

supergameboy4626d ago

Completely different audiences. I don't think Sega have anything to worry about releasing on the same day as Uncharted.

Misterhbk4626d ago

Hmm...Well what about all the other games coming in November?

Mario 3DS Land?
Uncharted?
MW3?
Skyrim?
BF3?
Zelda Skyward Sword?
Vita (in Japan at least and I'm assuming it gets a Nov. Release)

Lots of competition for ol' Sonic and lots of audiences too.

battyschlaps1224626d ago

Out of those games you just mentioned, only Zelda and Mario probably overlap with Sonic Generations. If you think about it, the Sonic series appeals to the younger audience more than anyone.

Good luck trying to convince me that 9 year olds are heavily anticipating the release of Battlefield 3, MW3 and Skyrim.

ChickeyCantor4626d ago

"that 9 year olds are heavily anticipating the release of Battlefield 3, MW3"

O trust me, lots do.

Michael-Jackson4626d ago

Not really a big impact since it targets different audience.

I'm getting both but if I had to choose 1 I would pick Uncharted 3.

The 7 Best Sonic the Hedgehog Games: Racing through Time

Sonic the Hedgehog has a long and turbulent history in videogames, but which are the best games featuring the blue bur?

Rebel_Scum98d ago

Generations over Mania? Please… Generations doesnt have any new ideas in the levels/bosses.

Also a top 7 of Sonic games shouldn’t have any 3D crap and contain at least one of the 8-bit titles.

Sonic CD getting snubbed is weird. Number 1 is definitely interchangable between Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 & Knuckles.

Snookies1298d ago

Nothing wrong with putting Generations over Mania. Generations had a lot more to it. Mania was just a bit too short, despite how amazing it was. They're both top-tier Sonic games though.

Profchaos98d ago (Edited 98d ago )

I don't think mania was to short given 1,2,3, knuckles were between 1 and 3 hours long.

Mania was 5 hours roughly

However i say the originals feel more repayable because they are so short

Profchaos98d ago (Edited 98d ago )

The 8 bit games were pretty bad overall do you mean the 16 bit ones

Rebel_Scum98d ago

Nope. Sonic 1 & 2 on the master system were great. Dont confuse these with the game gear versions either.

Profchaos98d ago

Top 7 for me
7 cd
6 mania
5 Frontiers
4 sonic 3
3 sonic 1
2 sonic and knuckles
1 sonic 2

persona4chie98d ago

Sometimes I feel like the Sonic Advanced games just didn’t exist with how much it’s always forgotten 😭

Chocoburger97d ago

Even as a Sonic fan, I didn't really care for those games, and getting the Chaos Emeralds were freakin' horrible. Even with an emulator and save states, I didn't have the desire to try. I also didn't like most of the levels or bosses either. Unfortunately, DiMPs aren't good at making Sonic games.

Why the Separation Between Modern and Classic Sonic is a Double-Edged Sword

The divide between both iterations of Sonic is now reaching spin-off territory, and the way Sega is handling it is both a blessing and a curse.

Sonic Handheld Games that Need Remasters after Origins

BLG writes: "With the success of the films and the promise of Frontiers, it’s possible that we’re ushering in a new golden age of Sonic the Hedgehog. While Sega is looking forward, the company is also looking back. It’s giving us Sonic Origins, a retooled collection of Genesis classics. However, this package fails to provoke a burning question: what’s the best Sonic handheld game?"
