Mobility is always a reason for going with the Switch version. It benefits my current situation greatly.

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 dunno man, I think a ton of fans would really enjoy that art and the stories, so keeping them only in Japan so a big chunk of the fanbase will never find about this seems like a waste imo.

google translate is wack here.

It can be surprisingly addictive, yeah. I spent many years trying to complete that game myself.

Then you find out about the hidden variants of cars...

And then there are hidden variants of cars that only sometimes appear in the used dealerships.

I'll find you, Toyota SPRINTER TRUENO GT-APEX AE86 (Shuichi Shigeno Version)... You and your carbon fibre hood...!

...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'd honestly be for a Puyo rep. Would kind of like to see someone throw the Puyo blobs around like Pac-Man does the ghosts. 

That's not how you pronounce Crash and Spyro, ma'am

Crash would also be cool. Not someone I'm wishing to be in Smash, but I would be very happy if he appeared.

randomly quoting a developer commentary from team fortress 2 for unknown reasons

This makes my day! xD

I great role indeed! 

Kudos to the agent without them Mike might of missed his chance to re-up!

interesting thing is the 2d sonic stuff if true.

The existence of the collection with Sonic Pocket Adventure is a bold claim that should let us know of the validly in a year or 2. Unless someone else leaked that first.

Other than Sonic 4, we never had an HD modern sonic 2D game, so I'd be down with that.

Sonic 4 Ep3 please

Pokemon get da ze!

Wait a minute... That's not right...

Mr. Enter saying this was bad was a terrible take 

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.

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.

Um listen the Pokemon theme is an absolute banger

@Mega

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.

I suggest you guys count your blessings

I don't speak for European Sonic X opening. Nobody does.

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.

@Ferno

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"

4kids Pokemon is kinda the exception to the rule. Like let's be honest, aside from Jelly Donuts and the other weird edits, the dubbing for Pokemon was actually really good. You can't say that for almost everything else that 4kids has dubbed.

Yeah, everyone besides Mike is out... again.

Whatever Sega's doing better be worth it.

I like how Mike is just immune from getting the boot. 

Oof, dropping like flies now. How soon until we hear about Travis Willingham or Kirk Thornton?

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams
With you and me
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
in the wind of change

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

Hmm. How much are the stocks and stock purchasing apps going for?

That Gamestop gravy train is looking pretty tempting.

Not sure, I'm trying to find out myself. I've never been interested in stocks until now.

Did you do it? Kinda debating but uncertain.

I have no idea how to get into stocks, or how any of it works.

Japan always has bizarre ways to make westerners horny.

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

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.

@Diogenes You essentially just described being scaroused.

Have you seen Ada?

You could say "how does ___ have such horny ass fans" about anything that's popular online

Rule 34 is the most obvious answer anyway.

You telling me that you don’t think Clair is hot? Or Jill? Or Ada?

Or are you talking about people who think someone like Nemesis is hot then yeah nah

You telling me that you don’t think Clair is hot? Or Jill? Or Ada?

Interesting how you guys have so much knowledge on this certain topic.

I think you're the fake needlemouse around here! You're comparing yourself to me? Ha! You're not even good enough to be my fake!

And Knuckles is called "Mr. Mole" by Sara in the OVA is cause echidna in Japan can be literally translated as "Needle Mole"

WOWOWOWOWOWOW!

she finally got the emeralds, the mad lad
