The executive producer of Sonic And All-Stars Racing Transformed has told Official Nintendo Magazine that he was surprised by the Wii U specs, specifically the GPU and memory which are better than the Sumo developers expected.
A decade later, Sega's iconic racer is still a formidable foe to the Mario Kart franchise.
Yes, yes it is! Damn shame that Sega never made another sequel or even updated this one with new tracks and characters.
"The platform of choice, however, is the Xbox Series X."
Yessir, the game runs extremely smooth because of the frame rate boost. Still, till this day I play Sonic ASR with friends.
What are the best titles to feature the Blue Blur?
Good list. Personally I’d probably trade the Sonic CD game in this list for Sonic the Hedgehog (1), simply because CD is quite easy so you’ll blast through it, and the original Sonic was basically a new benchmark when it was released which blew everything and everyone at the time away. It also features my favorite zone, Starlight Zone.
I really hope one day we’ll be blessed with a Sonic Mania 2.
R was one of my first PC games along with Worms 2 and some others like Virtual Springfield. R was kind of good in a strange way i guess, i didn't hate it at the time.
Sonic CD was decent but I'd say i liked the music more, at least for the JP/EU version, some of the levels felt a bit all over the place and most of the bosses were odd and a bit too easy. Even though the system was a flop too it did have some very good games like Final Fight also which had some great music.

"Wii U specs are surprisingly good"
"Wii U specs are surprisingly Bad"
"Wii U specs are Last Gen"
"Wii U specs are Next Gen"
"Wii U specs are as good as 360"
"Wii U specs are better than ps3"
etc.. etc.. etc.
Well you gotta have a pretty nice GPU to pull off what the Wii U does (Rendering 3 screens at once with only a FPS drop.) Doesn't really come off as a surprise to me.
Memory isn't surprising either. I think it's safe to assume that all next-gen console will have 2 Gigs MINIMUM, which is 4x the amount that the current gen has.
How dare he say that on NG4? Treason!!
Hope so since this is the version I'll be playing.
I thought specs didn't matter and it was just gameplay? LOL
