i just came flacid

If its sticks to its 2d roots I will absolutley support this other wise it will be a dissapointment

2d all the way. That's how sonic was meant to be.

Releasing as a download is the way to go

Definitely interested in this as as a XBL Arcade game, glad they realized no one would buy it from a disk.

I'd buy it.

This.

I was always a Sonic kid, not so much a Mario kid. People think I'm crazy. I say I just have better taste.

This should be great. Is that new 8bit megaman out yet?

I liked genesis better then snes, was def more into sonic at the time..and nba jam

Yes, they're making a second one.

Sega had its up and downs, like SNES. I have to say I liked genesis' game selection better than snes' selection. But SNES had way better RPGs outside of Phantasy Star and Shining Force.

looks like it'll be a sidescroller in the trailer....so yea, this should be pretty awesome

i play Sonic 2, 3 and Knuckles on a weekly basis. that "Sonic Mega Collection" for PS2 is the best game i own.

No sonic 1?

Don't tell me you don't like sonic 1 because you can't do a spinball

sonic 1 and 2 are both fantastic games. I remember sonic 2 becoming hard near the end.

no i like all Sonic, but 1 is my least favorite.

Sonic 2 does get difficult, FUCK METROPOLIS ZONE.

? That's easy.
I used to hate Oil Ocean. Death Egg was easy as shit too. My least favorite was the Hilltop Zone

this looks awesome

Are they going to port it to another system? (preferably steam)

Almost definitely not to Steam lol
Or PC at all, really.

i doubt it aril. its probably just going to stay as an XBL downloadable.

It will probably go to PS3 eventually. Sega is multiplatform now.

true but thats about as far as its going to go. 99% sure it will just stay on consoles.

200% aril will never play it

I will play it. There's an xbox 360 10 feet away from me. I'm playing borderlands right now.

I'm just pissed that they wouldn't port it to gameboy or PSP or Steam.

borderlands is such a fun game. i really like how its like fallout 3 but with more emphesis on the FPS gameplay instead of the RPG elements.

Maybe I'll start a petition to have it ported to pc because modern consoles suck cock.

WE KNOW! lol

i first thought you were talking about borderlands which is on the PC but then i realized you were porbably talking about sonic 4.

They ain't consoles! Stop calling them consoles!

SNES haters. Genesis was the inferior console. had less major 3rd party support, every game that was on both SNES and Genesis was always shittier on Genesis (MK1 was BETTER as a game on SNES, it just didn't have blood, big whoop), and they had less MUST HAVE exclusives. not to mention less must have 1st party games... SNES shit stomped Genesis.

Mortal Kombat with the ABC-XYZ Genesis controller > SNES

No way dude.

I enjoy both but Genesis had a superior game collection.

Both consoles were good imo.

Your opinion is officially invalid.

Trailer had the PSN and WiiWare logos in it.

Good eye.

If it comes out on PSN, I will definitely play it. I used to be really into Sonic. Of course, I'm a fag and liked Sonic and Knuckles.

Yea but you emulate.

No that was pre-emulation. You lose.

:'(

Ha, fooled you twice. Wasn't born yet.

Sonic and Knuckles? You were a toodler when that came out. Probably playing with buzz lightyear stuffed animals and in power ranger pajamas.

I had Power Ranger bed sheets at some point. I'm in 5th grade now though so that's embarrassing.

That's okay. I was collecting xmen cards and playing with POGs back in 1993.

XMEN CARDS haha. I got stabbed in the jugular over a holographic Charizard once. Died.

I still have all my see thru cards and xmen beach party set.
Slayer POG ftw!

In 93 I was probably at Disney World.

Remember those slammers that were 5 inches long? Shit don't make sense.

hahahhaha I had that 8 ball one

X-Men cards! I have a holographic one around somewhere still.

My brother Mike and I used to shit bricks when we got a holograph in a pack of those. If one of us got one, the other hated him for it and would commence childhood bitching and moaning.

Ill trade you my wolverine hologram card for another GBA game? haha

No dice. Currently rockin this on the DS GBA slot:




And this on the DS:

Sweet DS-10. For the uninitiated,

http://www.vintagesynth.com/korg/ms10.php

IT's actually really cool and versatile. Needs to be distorted or modulated if you actually want to record with it and have it sound half way decent. I will do something with it eventually. The only thing I hate is the lack of drum sounds.

I had no idea they were doing synth stuff for the DS. Synth software is all over the IPhone.... I need one.

They're actually updating the above mentioned version and it should be out real soon. I would hold out for that one as it has improved sound and 2 more synths on top of the 4 it already has. It also has some other shit I can't recall.

Meh. I'll stick to keys.

I see it more as a novelty/toy that you can experiment with and maybe come up with some ideas.....and it's a fucking synth program for the DS!

Mario Paint or GTFO

Agreed, stuff like this cannot replace a sequencing program or a real synth... but it would pretty fucking sweet to have to come up with ideas on the go.

Exactly. Emulators like these are just fucking fun.

Yea I suppose that'd be cool.
I usually just come up with ideas in my head. Which reminds me, I gotta finish recording the khand shit asap .. Dammit!

mE WANT 2 here.

Actually slag what would you recommend for iPhone? I have a chord machine thing but it sucks.

no, it is true. its more arcade accurate than the Genesis one. look it up.

so a game that's more closely tied to the arcade version is better? Golden axe II was better on genesis than in the arcade.

Double Dragon 3 wasn't, but it was pretty good on the Genesis.

I have both MKII on SNES and on an arcade collection and I think the SNES version is way better. Tru dat on the MK SNES version being much better as far graphics, control and accuracy.

Depending on your music styles, apps may differ. I've read these are awesome.

Try "thump", "drone station" "plinkton" and if you know anything about synthesis, "Noise.io" rules.

and RIVER CITY RANSOM FTW over all other beat 'em ups.

I'm gonna have to agree to disagree. Outside of street fighter, Genesis had way better fighting games.
Genesis was better for action, sports, and more fast-paced genres. SNES had better RPGs (by far), strategy games, etc. This is all fact. Not opinion

I have River City for the GBA. Game is pretty hard. I think my favorite beat em up (if you consider it one)........



And Jimmyarillius, don't even try to say the Genesis version was better!

hahahahah what.

Best beat em up was d&d for arcade
but NES paved the way for the genre. POW, RIver City Ransom, Battletoads... Come on man.

KNights of the Round Table and AVP (Capcom version) are also notable. Oh, I just beat Burning Fight and that was pretty rad. My next beat em up to play is Sengoku.

POW is probably the best. Ahh, so many good ones. Renegade and Double Dragon (arcade and NES) is the best. Bahhhh.

I was always a sidescroller dude. Still am. It's pretty much dead. That's why it's good that this sonic game went back to its roots.

For recent side-scrollers you should really check out Shadow Complex. It's very metroidvania.

Or that other side scroller fighter RPG thing with the cartoon graphics. Can't think of the name right now.

Also, Alien Breed just got remade and it's very faithful. Looks amazing and is fun as hell.

if you want newer 2d style side-scroller or tactics rpg games look no further than any of the Nippon Ichi Software or a few of the games put out by Atlus. it's a weeaboo's wet dream and a 2D fan's New Testament.

the SNES could do fast paced games very well. Sparkster? Uniracers?

P.S. http://screwattack.com/blogs/Mortal-Monday.../Mortal-Monday-MK-1-SNES-vs-Genesis

Sparkster, as the shitty sequel to Rocket Knight Adventures, one of the best side scrollers of all time for Sega?

Also, musically, SNES' soundchip could not replicate certain sounds that genesis made. Vectorman Is a prime example.

Sparkster for SNES was awesome and fast. it actually won an award from some magazine for best sound effects that year. SNES' soundchip is better overall but could not replicate some sounds that the Genesis could. although why would the SNES want to? it had better sounds and music. Vectorman was Genesis only anyways, although it's a fantastic game.

Agreed, but I'd argue sega's sound chip was more versatile and solely based off sine waves. I loved both systems, but stand by my opinion that sega had a much better game selection when it came to side scrollers and sports games. NBA jam? Waaaay better on genesis.
