And always goes conveniently unmentioned whenever people try to say there are no good Sonic games.

I loving love Sonic Adventure as well though, it's a fascinating product of its time.

Playing as Eggman or the reject robot that kicked sonic and knuckles asses was fun.

I could never beat Sonic pinball :smith:

bubsy is way too weird, even crash bandicoot was less creepy

when yoshi island finally came out and was the best 2d platformer yet (not including like the shooting ones like megaman and whatever) all was good

Yoshi's Island is great, but Super Mario World is still better. That's a letdown for some, I think.

I never owned a console growing up so my knowledge of all these old games comes from playing them on an emulator as an adult.

(I did play a bit of Super Mario 3 and Sonic 2 as a kid at a friend's house but never beat them)

Very interesting playing mega man 2 and 3 AFTER mega man 9 :v:.

tons of people couldnt beat ninja gaiden until emulators with save states but how did they never notice that using spinslash makes you invincible and lets you 1-hit bosses
so all you need to do is get it and skip power-ups between platforms that you cant check because they might make you lose spinslash and dont waste all your spinslash jump attacking what you dont need to jump attack

Ninja Gaiden is a good game because it's designed to gently caress you over for taking your time.

Don't be ashamed of having grown up Genesis. They still haven't made a two player co-op game whose co-op mechanics are as good as Toejam and Earl's. Also Sega Shadowrun >>>>>>>>>> SNES Shadowrun.

Sonic was real bad though.

If your friend was smart about playing tails he could airlift you past most of the bs and to secret areas.

If your friend was willing to sit and play Sonic with you and play Tails you should have married him and filled him up nightly.

it's kind of funny how everybody related to sonic ended up kind of hosed

the old developers were nintendo's rivals for a bit, but now yuji naka makes dumb tapping games and the people left there have to make garbage every year
some new guys made some decent sonic games for gameboys for a bit but then they turned into trash too
some guys that were kicked out of naughty dog made a sonic and it was poo poo
bioware made a sonic rpg that was poo poo and now all their games are poo poo

and then all the kids that played them are autistic furries that go to jail for macing gamestop employees

All I've ever played of the series is Sonic the Hedgehog (do I even need to add the 2006?) so my view on the series is skewed by that and the fact that the few creepy fucks in that fandom that are creepy fucks are far more prominent and visible than the people who just kind of like the games.

I've personally just never understood why Knuckles had legos on his shoes.

that game is pretty bad but the fact that a videogame about edgy black sonic shooting people with handguns actually exists will never stop being the most hilarious thing about sega to me
