They just renewed Virtua Fighter's trademark. Besides that it's basically re-releases, Yakuza, Hatsune Miku, and their Western releases (Total War, Football Manager, etc.). They have the occasional game that doesn't fit into previous categories, but that's stuff like 7th Dragon Code III VFD and Tembo: The Badass Elephant which are small, niche, and exceptions to the norm.

I'm playing Sonic Adventure again. I still really enjoy the perspective switching storytelling it has. Especially when it leads to hilarious moments like the part where Gamma captures Froggy. In Big's story, the frog gets snatched right out of his hands. In Gamma's version? Big isn't even there. You just find the frog hanging around. So, apparently Big was so un-noteworthy that Gamma didn't even notice him while snatching it out of his hands :allears:

Stuff like that and how every scene containing multiple characters has a unique version with slightly different lines and linereads for each character just for the heck of it is still really endearing.

I still think Shadow is the worst addition to the bloated cast.

Then Cream, then all of the Chaotix. (I lump 'em all into one since there's even less to the lot of them than usual for platformer characters.)

Isn't that what Boom did, except it has Sticks in the cartoon? Sticks seems ok.

I played some of SA2 and Sonic Heroes for the first time this week and I actually kinda liked Shadow. He is so loving ridiculous, it's almost charming in how baffling he is. I mean he's Poochie but with no restraint or attempt to blend his elements together at all. His backstory is like... He was made cure AIDS NIDS but instead government agents bust in and gun down a twelve year old girl? And he's a hedgehog. The dissonance between his various elements and his visual design and his voice acting is like watching a bad b-movie gliding around on hoverskates or whatever the gently caress his shoes are supposed to be. I cracked up every time he goes This is the ULTIMATE POWER or 'Outnumbered... But not outmatched!!!' or whatever his loving 90s action film lines were.

But maybe Shadow the Hedgehog took it too far.

Anyway Big and the Chaotix are easily worse.

the good sonic character list:
sonic, tails, knuckles, amy (sometimes), vector, big, shadow (sometimes), blaze

stick with sonic/tails/knuckles/amy as your main crew, throw in the rest when you need comic relief (big, vector) or a rival (blaze, shadow)

What, no love for Charmy the bee? Charmy's the best character in Chaotix because he lets you skip over the lovely gameplay by just flying everywhere.

Yeah, as someone who played through both Sonic Adventures relentlessly as a kid, I loved how each character/storyline had slightly different scenes, like how you only find out that Sonic used Tails' fake emerald for chaos control if you played through the Hero story, while in the Dark story iirc you see him get shot out of the ARK and the pod explodes and then he just shows up to fight Shadow at the end.

Tails' version of events always insisting that he was both faster than sonic and saved the day was really funny to me, especially at the end when his story suddenly goes "but then eggman pulled out his plan b of just nuking the city and I alone, miles tails prower, defeated eggman and saved the city and got a medal from the mayor"

It's mildly upsetting to me that SA2 confirms that the egg nuke actually happened and tails wasn't just bullshitting that whole thing

If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.
I prefer this one, since it isn't that massive a radical departure from the original design.
