Flashback to Christmas of 2017, my father was telling me about the struggle of getting me a Switch with some games. He got a Switch, he got a copy of Super Mario Odyssey, but couldn't find Zelda BotW anywhere. He told me he nearly considered getting a Switch copy of Sonic Forces for me instead, but found a single copy of BotW at a store.
I quake in fear of the alternate timeline.

As the game released today and I'm now playing it, Persona 5 Strikers is really good. The story is very much a sequel to the original game, making it hard to recommend if you haven't played it first (but I guess you can just watch the anime). It's so fun to see all these characters again, like catching up with old friends...
Playing it on a base PS4. Don't see any reason to go to the Switch for this one.

Wow, the new Sonic Channel wallpapers come with short stories! uuuggghhh my japanese isn't good enough to read it all, but i'm trying soooo haaaard
-
You can always try Google Translate.
I've tried to read, eh, is far from being perfect as there are a few non-sense sentences.
I never understood, and I think I never will, why SEGA don't make a Sonic Channel translation or an equally good English equivalent website. There is sonicthehedgehog.com, but they basically advertise when new games are out or something bigger as the movie or the animated videos.
I mean, things like the wallpapers don't even need translation.
-
Different PR teams, and different internet sensibilities. Even Mania and Forces got their own websites in Japan, while we merely got a page on the Sonic website. Additionally, Sonic Channel is mostly handled by Sonic Team themselves, at least the PR side of the team.
Also, I'm actively studying Japanese, so Google Translate personally feels like a cop out.

I'm getting lost in Gran Turismo 4. It's such a simple game, yet I find myself wanting to compete in more events, wanting to get all gold, wanting to race for more cars...
I don't know how a game like this does it, but it hooks you in real hard.
-
Something I can't help but wonder for the Sonic movie sequel... Maybe there will be a timeskip, so Sonic could grow out of his classic proportions into a taller, lankier modern look?
In addition, part of the story could be about learning to grow up and mature, especially as he realises he needs to be there for Tails. Basically, he develops into the Sonic we know and love, personality-wise.
-
...he's already closer to modern sonic's design, though?
-

I have a feeling that the sequel will take place a few months or a year after the first movie. They did mentioned that Sonic is either 13 or 14 years old in the first movie. Maybe he'll be his canonical age 15 in the sequel. I definitely would love for Sonic to mature as a character in the sequel due to Tails' arrival.
-
Tyson Hesse said he based the movie design on Modern Sonic, so he already he already is his taller, lankier modern look.

I shall tell you my Smash wishes, even if I am already quite happy with the roster:
- Arle Nadja, from Puyo Puyo. She's a magic user, Carbuncle is also an unsuspecting dangerous fighter, and she can dump Puyo on folks to decimate them.
- Doomguy, from DOOM. More dakka.
- Zero from Mega Man Zero. He has a whole bunch of weapons and moves at his disposal that would make him a super interesting fighter.
-
After nine years in development, we hope it will have been worth the wait.

I have now learned an interesting story when it comes to Sonic VAs:
When SEGA was replacing the 4kids cast, they sent out auditions for Eggman to replace Mike Pollock. One of the people they sent an audition to was... Mike Pollock. It wasn't a reaudition nor was it treated as one, Mike's agent just called him one day and said "I found a great role for you! It's a video game character called Eggman."
Mike Pollock was really confused at this. He thought he was already Eggman...?
SEGA actually tried to replace Mike Pollock with Mike Pollock.

Prominent leaker, Zippo, says they know some things about Sonic's 30th.

Take it with a grain of salt, we still know absolutely jack.

People who make fun of 4kids openings would sing the Pokemon theme song with no self-awareness.

-
Mr. Enter saying this was bad was a terrible take
-
Supah Berry and Winston reacted to this
-
let's be real, 4kids openings did a lot for us
Try to imagine Pokemon without that opening, or One Piece without the infamous rap (which is actually stupidly good don't @ me), or even Sonic without "gotta go fast."

"4kids dubs sucked!!!" says someone.
but i can't hear them. I'm too busy remembering the Digimon Movie and the original context of Wendigomon singing "All-Star" by Smash Mouth.
-
Supah Berry and Polkadi~☆ reacted to this
-
Eh, I think the 4kids Pokemon OPs were pretty good and the Kirby OP is catchy, but I'll take Sonic Drive over Gotta Go Fast any day and We Are over the One Piece rap.
Never mind how badly 4kids butchered One Piece.
Funny thing is, even as a kid, I hated the Digimon dub OP (which was Saban, mind you). When Frontier came out I was like, "AN ACTUAL SONG??????" Haha. The Frontier dub OP slaps, actually, even if I prefer Japanese Digimon and its music these days. -
-
I grew up on Sonic Drive, so I have more of a connection to it over Gotta Go Fast, and of course the One Piece rap wouldn't outclass We Are.
But still, 4kids made their openings count, and Pokemon is the prime example of it.
-
-
-
im still jelly of the French intro, which did what I wanted 4kids to do with the English intro to begin with
and on that note they *almost* did that for One Piece and I wish they pulled the trigger
But even saying that, the Gotta go fast and one piece rap intros aren't the worst things ever, its just one of those "what could've been" things that I often think about.
-
Being fair, as much as I love my anime OPs, I doubt 4Kids could've gotten away with a two minute long intro sequence per episode in the mid-2000s, there's a reason even Japanese EDs are getting butchered with stuff like this:
Like, we're screwed either way here, we get the original, or faithful recreation of the song, but with stupidly abrupt cuts that kill the rhythm/tone of the song altogether, or else we get a new song altogether that conforms to opening standards in other regions.
-
I wish they were cut better, but at least we still get some taste of the original intros and endings at all which is neat imo. its like "sorry we can't show the whole thing, but here's a sampler to preserve the aesthetic of watching it on TV as intended; feel free to seek out the whole thing on Youtube or Crunchyroll later tho"

@The Tenth Doctor Travis hasn't been in the series since 2017. Knuckles and Zavok had different VA's in TSR.

Kinda want to jump on the GME train now. Why not, it's fun to watch out of touch billionaires lose their cool, and I'll make a bit of money in the process.

how does a horror franchise like Resident Evil have such horny ass fans
-
-
You're surprised that a horror series has horny fans?
Dude, not only have people made waifus out of history's greatest horror monsters, but horror movies used to be the way for folks to see soft grade pron before the internet was a thing.
The devil's in the details, but it's been a thing for quite some time across all corners of the globe.
-
Horny-ass characters, it's that simple
-
Sonictrainer and Jovahexeon Jax Joranvexeon reacted to this
-
the internet has taught me that "scared" and "horny" are two sides of the same coin
it has also taught me that horny is the opposite side of every coin
lotta horny out there, on the internet.

So, Needlemouse was actually a way too literal translation of Hedgehog...?

Don't let Xbox live this down. They are clearly not pro-consumer if they had the balls to do this.
