It's probably the same case as Sonic Unleashed Wii, where Sonic Team was developing the Werehog stages while Dimps developed the day stages.

This says co-developed, but you could be right, as Sonic Team usually takes a little more credit than they deserve when it comes to Sonic games made by Dimps.

Question: Where did you hear that ST were making the Classic levels? It certainly doesn't sound too likely. Also, ALL the previes Dimps titles have been officially stated to be "co-developed by Dimps". This is no exception, and so there's no reason to think any differently.

I assumed that it was like Sonic Unleashed Wii, I wouldn't be surprised if Sonic Team was developing the classic stages.

Yet, if they suck, people will blame Dimps.

I really don't see why people hate Dimps though. I mean, they make some very good Sonic games. Plus, Sonic Colors DS was what got me back into the Sonic series (and Sonic 4 somewhat), so I thank Dimps for getting me back into Sonic.

I'm slightly worried for the game simply because it's on a 3DS- I think some of the levels will look amazing but I had my 3DS for only 2 months and sold it due to the fact it gave me bad headaches after 5 minutes with the 3d on. I didn't see the point in buying the games when the whole point of the console was that it was in 3D. Sure you could turn the 3D off but I think that just defies the whole point of introducting the console. Wish they would put it on the normal DS aswell so people don't have to go out and spend £/$ 200 on a console to play a game with 3D off.

Afraid to say I'll be avoiding the game since it's coming out on the Xbox 360.

First of all - if your head hurts, and after only 5 minutes, then you may have a problem.

Second of all - the point of the 3DS isn't the 3D. It's the games. Did you buy a DS because of the touch screen ?
They can't put it on the DS because the 3DS has different cards, better graphics, bigger games with more content, an analog stick, and StreetPass and SpotPass.

that was all.


I'm getting Sonic Generations 3DS, even if it sucks. I need mah Sonic games.

1) Headaches, Dizziness and Nausea are a common side effects to 3D products. Thousands of gamers have claimed refunds for the 3DS because of these issues.

2) The main selling point of the 3DS is the fact that it's 3D. What's the point in buying a 3DS if I'm using the 3D feature? It's like going to see a film in 3D and then only certain bits are actually in 3D and the rest is still in 2D. You've paid an extra £3/4 (don't know about outside the UK) to see a film you could have seen in 2D all to see a 30 second clip of something in 3D. Nintendo could have made a better version of the DS with a higher graphics card and released these games again but they are going to make more money by releasing a product with appeal and that's 3D without glasses. It's the whole point of their advertisement.

The difference with playing Sonic Generations on the Xbox and the 3DS comes down to different game play, which is needed because of the difference between the two systems, and the fact the levels can be played in 2D/3D. I see no point in myself buying Sonic Generations on the 3DS to play 2D levels in 2D when I can get more from the Xbox version and get the same results.

At the end of the day it's the gamer's own preference to which console they prefer. I just happen to like Xbox 360 compared to handheld anyway And I'm getting one version so that's all that matters

Some people just have weak eyes. It's not like it's not possible to get used to it.

You can just... you know... watch the 2D movie.
Just as you can just turn off the 3D on the 3DS.
Did you avoid watching Avatar because one of its main points (if it its true main point) was 3D ? Although there was a 2D version as well ?
Nintendo made a better version of the DS with superior [everything]. And, because they've always wanted to do this, 3D. The main point is still the games. That's the main point of every console.

Sonic Gen 3DS is going to suck horribly, but hey, I'm personally still getting it.

You gotta admit that looks awesome. Who wants a Sonic Colors 3DS ?

Assuming you meant "not using"...the point is the games that are only available for it. You don't buy a system for the gimmicks, you buy it for the games.

Nintendo could have made a better version of the DS

They did, they call it the 3DS, and if the 3D bothers you all you have to do is turn down that little slider and you've got a fully functional DS 2.

I mean if you were considering buying a 3DS I could see where you're coming from, not wanting to spend the extra money for the feature you won't be using (not that it'd make your request all that reasonable; Nintendo wouldn't be too thrilled at the idea of manufacturing a separate line of handhelds just so some people could save a few bucks), but hearing you had one and then sold it...wtf, man.

I did but then whats the point in that. A majority of the games released on the 3DS are just re-releases of old ones. Why spend $200 and an extra $45 per game when I can play the same game I already have on an older console if I just going to play it in 2D anyway.

My point yes. I wasn't saying Nintendo should make separate handhelds- I was just trying to point out that the 3D gimmick was going to make them more money than making an upgrade of the DS and that was the main point of bring out the 3DS. Yes I sold it so I could get more Xbox games. No point in having something I didn't want and someone else could enjoy.

I think we're heading off topic here. I only wanted to mention that I wasn't getting this particular version of the game simply due the fact I didn't like playing that particular console, not to start a For 3DS/ against 3DS discussion.
