Another crude animation, this time with two characters. Gonna experiment with ways to display impact. When I think of how cartoons would showcase pain, I think classic Tom and Jerry did it best in my opinion. Ed Edd n Eddy did it in it's own style which looked comical and impactful too.

And here is the excuse he will be using as to why the app is yet again delayed. "Raves and gasps of amazement"...I will be honest, that is the best fiction writing he has ever done...

No better way to declare your villainy than to take your mom's maiden name.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTT!!!!! LET'S FRIGGIN' GO!!!!

Yes this is real, you can look it up yourself and try: That image got me laughing so hard!

Everything about this sounds so absolutely awful on every conceivable level it's utterly hilarious.

...Yeah, this sounds like everything that I wouldn’t want from a Sonic game. I mean sure, that’s the whole point of the pitch, but I don’t think anyone was asking for a Sonic game that aimed to not be a Sonic game. 3D Sonic games aren’t often criticized for their non-Soniclike aspects for no reason, you know? Add on the fact it would have been developed by a company not really known for anything spectacular and it’s no wonder why nothing came of it. It’s weird how this only now surfaced, though. You’d think something like this would have been discovered years ago.

It’s Hero time!

I LOVE Green Day, but no.

English person: “Right, so we’re all agreed that the vast majority of our nouns should sound at least partially similar to eachother?” French person: “Oui” Italian person: “Sì” Spanish person: “Sí” German person, slamming fist on table: “NEIN!!!”

I disagree. That's just what the protagonists in Dragon Quest are referred to as, both in the games and in the fan discussion surrounding them. It's kind of an important word in the series, and even the characters who were given dubiously canon names are usually colloquially referenced as the "hero from X game" (something not made obvious by Smash discussion), which can't be said about "Dragon Warrior." Generic though it may be, "Hero" is the name actual DQ fans are going to recognize and connect with, and if the character isn't being made for them, then who is he for?

Is it still coming soon in 2012?

Those weren't gasps of amazement, Kenders. They were gasps of horror.

Now I'm just curious what the heck a "Shadow's world" is. Did Shadow inherit Space Colony arc and is now a gardener cultivating a dead wasteland landscape in there? Is Shadow suddenly God who can create his own planet? Is Sonic sucked into Shadow's brain? Did Shadow buy a house on an dark and edgey island and declare himself ruler of the land? Is this a retcon where the whole Space Colony ark backstory is thrown in the garbage and now Shadow's from his own evil dimension? Does every Sonic character have his/ her own dimension in this story? Did Sonic schoolhouse take place in Omo chao's dimension? I know it's probably just the flat surface level concept idea and if the game was ever finished, I doubt they would have called it "Shadow's world" It would have been just Some location that happens to fit with Shadow's personality. But still, the way it's written sounds so funny/ interesting. Not to mention the equally stupid "Sonic's world" is freaking canon. Climax entertainment huh? From Landstalker/ Super Runabout. A Sonic game in that style. Sounds interesting. Alas. We got Sonic rivals instead. And interesting how many of these "Let's make a Sonic game that's utterly Not a Sonic game in tone and atmosphere" ideas were floating around in the mid 2000's. Cultural zeitgeist I guess.

Seems like it this would've been the canon version of Sonic.EXE. If I were in charge of this, I personally would've done a mechanic where Sonic can jump between Sonic's World and Shadow's World in the same level similar to Sonic CD and an Ordinary Sonic Hack. Other than that, I feel Shadow the Hedgehog did enough to fulfill using Shadow to bring a more edgy and scary side to Sonic. So that makes this seem a tad redundant, especally when ShTH also has gloomy landscapes and demonic enemies. And of course, this was the time we all started complain how Sonic was becoming too serious and Shadow focused, so this game wouldn't have helped at all. And there's no need to worry about making Shadow's lore consistent when we have Blaze and Eggman Nega's two backstories.

Man who could imagine a game where Sonic's running around in dead, lava-filled environments fighting monsters. Oh.

It was also confirmed that Version 4.0 will be coming out soon, most likely the same day Hero is supposed to come. I wonder what else they’ll add besides Hero’s data and the fighter adjustments. Maybe Home Run Contest will make an return? Probably not, but I’m still hoping for it.

That's good. You're in the top 5%.

I feel like a redundant zombie at this point when it comes to SSMB. One moment I’m rising from the grave to frequently post here, and another I’m dead silent aside from a few likes. But no matter how active I am on other sites, I could never truly abandon you guys ❤️

Kintobor and Robotnik are two separate families that just so happen to be reverse-spellings of each other. ...no, really. Julian’s dad was a Kintobor, his mother a Robotnik.

Good thing it's not trying to be. Not every cartoon is trying to a big sweeping epic. Some are just trying to be fun and make people laugh. Not saying there isn't lore but not every cartoon has to be a long strand telling an intense emotional story. Sometimes they can be a silly show about superpowered kids working in a bodega.

I've never asked why they would keep Eggman alive. I know it's a morality thing and I'm cool with it. Having a character in the story present a differing side to the argument makes for an interesting discussion but I do appreciate that they don't lean too hard on either side as well. It's never really been a problem for me. It's more important that I understand why Batman, as a character, keeps the Joker alive, rather than the comic justifying it to the reader why he absolutely should. That makes it less of a character thing and more just the book trying to defend itself which I'd argue it doesn't have to do so long as the characters are being who they are and making decisions they would want to make.

Man, some of you are never going to enjoy this series if you're so hung up on how you want the characters to act. You're better off just writing your own fanfiction than constantly nitpicking every time characterization doesn't perfectly align up with what you want it to be. Like...why does Tails have to ALWAYS be the tech guy? Is Amy not allowed to do it, if it doesn't contract anything? I railed on Shadow last issue not because he was being an arrogant idiot, but because being an arrogant idiot was detrimental to the story itself, but him being like that in general isn't itself a bad thing.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkenRXh1odg So the guy who reveled a screen from the cancelled PSP game Sonic Origins has revealed details surrounding another cancelled Sonic PSP title called Sonic: The Shadow World. The game never made it past pitch state. But from what we get from the pitch is that the game was pitched by Climax and described the game as being the polar opposite to what is normally found in a Sonic game. The plot is that Sonic becomes trapped in the Shadow World (which is home to Sonic' nemesis Shadow (yes THAT Shadow)) and must escape. Instead of lush green tropical lands, lava and dead trees would surround the player. Sonic would battle creatures not badniks. Multiple modes planned. Shadow & Sonic playable.

I'm so mad that the Infinite theme slaps so much. What a good theme song for such a meh villain.

Maybe Switch, too, because we only initially saw stuff for the Switch port of 1, 2 and 3 before QUakeCon

Okay, what’s going on? The Nintendo US page’s cover shows no indication of the game requiring a download yet the UK one does? https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Games/Nintendo-Switch/Spyro-Reignited-Trilogy-1576500.html

Seeing Fast & Furious Hobbs & Shaw on Thursday

I raced (does this word exists?) against one of the current top 10 players on the PS4, his ID "Pepo" something, I can't remember right now. I won against him on Polar Pass, but then again, he rage quited on the last lap after I dicked him with an Aku-Aku mask inches before the shortcut. He lost all his speed and faced the wall you're suppose to jump over after the cave lol He was playing as Dingodile. I remember vividly he was SUPER laggy, tho'. Teleporting a hell lot, I don't even know how I hit him TBH, but it was glorious. I wish Beenox could add a "no-weapons" mode. As much as I like them and understand they were and still are a core part of the game, the randomizing system is kinda broken. I got Aku-Aku masks and even Warp Balls in 2nd place a few times, which gave me an easy win, although it did felt rather unfair. But eh, what can I do? Don't hate the player, hate the game :V But yeah, no weapons mode would be cool.

...Can you port 2 and 3 pls?

I like how everyone in the early 2010s collectively decided to move away from the wild toxic internet culture, only for the late 2010s to take a backflip straight back into the wild toxic internet culture but worse what exactly did we achieve here

They're not going to mention that in that post. I imagine that Sakurai will show that stuff off tomorrow We don't have an exact time, so it could be tomorrow in North America depending on the timing

You know, I'm style little annoyed by calling him "Hero". That's too vague of the word, describing half of Smash's roster. If Erdrick really couldn't be official face and treat the rest like Koopalings, they should go with "Dragon Warrior". Even if you don't know that first games were called that in USA, it's still gives you a idea of connection to Dragon Quest. I mean, I'm pretty sure DreamWorks doesn't own that tittle.

If it's a game where everything's not like Sonic than I'd like for Tails to be the main villain. He needs a monocle and to be carrying around a glass of brandy wherever he goes, fighting against the forces of good, the great Hero Dr. Egg-Hero. As for this game though, would it have been dark and lava filled like 06 or would it have been dark and lava filled like the Ifrit fight in the Rivals games? I literally have two questions.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind completed. Far as the anime adaptations go...this might have moved up to being my favorite.

I'm expecting music from the 4 playable Heroes' games, but I'm hoping for this too

Probably the old Square Spirits (Chocobo and Geno), some 4 Dragon Quest ones (I'm guessing Slime hat, DQ 1 Hero, DQ V Hero and maybe Jade from DQ XI or a Munchie hat), Home Run Contest and my out-of-leftfield guess is Music DLC packs

Well 1270397/20 is 63519, so I think you're safe (I'm at 1559 out of 110000 on Xbox, almost within the top 1%, so if I don't get the kart I'm gonna be pissed). Looking around yeah, it seems the kart will be handed out tomorrow. GP items are still in the Pit Stop, which is nice because I can get Motorsport Liz, the only one I'm missing.

Hey, issue#43 was my first issue of Archie! I saw this cover and was instantly hooked. I like to think I came in at the right time. lol I had very little money back then as I was 12/13 back then but luckily, the issues were $1.50 compared to today's $3.99! Thanks for reviewing this issue Dr. Detective Mike. It's appreciated man!

I got 42,184, which I think is in the 5% area for PS4 for the Champion Kart (Total players is 1270397). Can anyone confirm? I heard it wouldn't be handed out til tomorrow so idk if I'm in the top 5 or not.

I don't blame ya for not remembering a character that died within 2-3 pages of being introduced, plus she was more of an old cat lady back then, and then re-coined to be directly related to Rosie. It's the Ant thing I find more juicy. Yeah they don't really give it any thought until after #50. Speaking of which. Hey-Yo! Welcome to Endgame! You know it's right around the corner because they had to call in a doctor. (eh I jumped the gun by 2 issues but can't resist making that joke)

Looks like Julayla, Sally's mentor. She was the old lady that died of in the "In Your Face" special. Secondly, and I might be wrong, but I think the kid isn't Sally, but Antoine? Ant's marked by a bulky turtleneck like that in SatAM's Past to the Past. It just strikes me that kid Sally has more of a sleeve-less princess jasmine get up, and that coat doesn't' jive. Just bringing it up because I remember reading this scene back in the day and thinking "Oh! this a traumatizing event that reframes his cowardly demeanor in the present." (edit: heh *Past* to the Past you know what typo you can stay).

I feel like an argument that should be made by shadow in future if they want to salvage this is " Well he helped us" and would be a shadow move that retains being a dick , and isn't holier than thou is " Well he's helped us in the past " " If you need to regularly rely on someone who actively wants to enslave the entire planet to save you. You need to rethink how you are doing things " I think that lets both characters " be right " so they can drop this as sort of contention point and maybe use it as means to expand on the world at large. Maybe people start heeding shadow's advice and start trying to develop their means of " not relying on eggman to unfuck the situation " . We know gun exists , but that would be a weird way to introduce a animal planet version of " GUN". Like " Ok maybe we don't need to bust caps in to every criminal but like yo sonic this follow your rainbow shit, like yo this is a problem. Yo we need to actively take steps to solve this rather than retroactive resistance starting "

The echidnas went extinct because they were too busy building carnivals instead of farms.

I mean sure but that didn't exactly stop him in Sonic Heroes, did it

Things like "use every weapon as N. Gin", "play online with 2 friends as Team Bandicoot or Team Cortex", "take Cortex Castle's shortcut in every lap and win", "block missiles with TNT or beakers 5 times" could shake things up. I wouldn't scrap the quick challenges they have right now, they're fine IMO. I also like the easy challenges like "break X crates", "collect X wumpa fruits", "do X trick jumps as X character" or the "play X Cup". I would mostly change how the challenges work tho': make them all achievable both offline and online, rise the ammount of Nitro Points you get from every challenge and give a bonus for completing every challenge in a chain and for completing a tier. Also, tone down the "X% bonus for using X character, decal, paintjob, kart". Make it a daily thing instead. Like, if you play as Crash (any skin) on the day he's a bonus character, you get a little bonus. I read a very cool idea on Reddit a few weeks ago: hide a "wumpa whip" in every track. If you find it and collect it, it would double your Nitro Points earnings in that race. As for the online mode as a whole, heck, there's sooooo much to improve. Add cups, give an option to invite random player to private lobbies (like GTA 5 does), add an option to invite friends to matchmaking lobbies too, make the 30 seconds start after the 3rd racer finishes the race, not the 1st. The layout could also be improved miles, it's so barebones right now.

I'm really starting to regret the whole Mr Tinker arc now. The series was never going to come down on the side of killing Eggman, and he was always going to go back to being evil eventually, but now we'll never stop hearing about it.

"For the annual issue, we though to make big story about Sonic Vs Eggman". That is enough to hype you up? That's the plot of issue 175, 200, 225, and probably would do all the next anniversaries, ignoring crossovers.
