Hardcore Gamer: For $60, you'll get Sonic and All Stars Racing Transformed: Bonus Edition, ZombiU, and Nintendo Land.
Nintendo will be shutting down the eShop for the 3DS and Wii U completely in 2023. Makes sure to check out these games before they do.
If they're not important enough to be held on their own official storefront then they're not important enough to give your money to Nintendo.
Buy these, physically, used or simply emulate them.
This article comes off as nothing more than advertising games that Nintendo, themselves, don't care to offer you... buy now!
Wait hang on where all the outrage? I swear when Sony tried to do this with PS3 last year. There was outrage from all corners of the gaming universe.
Why does no one care Nintendo is doing it?
There has been.
A lot of it.
Simply type in "3DS" in Google and tell me what you see.
Oh I have a fair few websites reporting on it. But where is the outcry on here? I remember their was 2-3 approved top voted articles when Sony announced they where closing the PS3 store. All slating them and not caring about customers.
I should of worded it better. Where is all the outrage on n4g?
N4G is a fanboy site, mainly frequented by only Sony.
Microsoft is their direct competition, so you'll typically only see articles that are made to rile up those fanbases.
Nintendo does it's own thing, so they're rarely brought up, aside from their fans. The most you get is the same typical two or three posters claiming Nintendo is only for infants.
If you come to N4G for educated discourse and reasonable discussion, this isn't the place. Sad as it is.
It's lame that it is shutting down. Now I feel rushed buying all the rpgs I missed out on the system.
You guys know that even archive.org has 3DS roms, and all other console roms. I'm downloading 846GB of 3DS roms and will add the best games to my soon to be soft modded New 3DS 😁. Might as well throw in DS and other emulators in there to. Guys this would be the best way to play and enjoy the 3DS. Just need to buy a bigger micro SD card and format it to FAT32, which you can if it's even 256GB or larger there are ways.
This should help if you want to soft mod it excellent guide and up to the latest and probably last 3DS firmware update: https://www.youtube.com/wat...
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.
Transformed is my favorite of the series. Even Team racing (the next iteration) is pretty good too but I liked transformed better.
I tried team racing and it just didn't click with me as much as Transformed did.
I seriously just wish Sega would do another sequel to that game instead of trying to reinvent the wheel.
It was the best alternative to Mario Kart on Xbox/PS
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.
Yeah, the first game will always be a classic, but I believe Sonic 2 and 3 moved the chains for the series quite a bit. Sonic CD definitely innovated as well, particularly with its amazing soundtracks and 3D bonus stage. :D
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.
My top top5 (After mid 2000's sadly I stopped playing sonic)
Sonic 2
Sonic adventure
Sonic & Knuckles
sonic cd
Sonic 3
Honorable Mentions: Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine,Sonic Spinball
1. Sonic adventure 2
2. Sonic rush
3. Sonic unleashed ( day time stages)
4. Sonic generations
5. Sonic advance 2
Good picks! But...SA 2 kinda fell backward on those digging segments. Great rap song tho!
Doh, i thought it meant a Wii U+games bundle. This is just 3 games into 1 deal. Wii U owners, go grab this chance now! Bundle consist of Sonic All Stars racing, ZombiU and Nintendoland :D
Damn that's nice I have Sonic already and Nintendo land but at that price I could at least get Sonic Transformed for WiiU and then ZombiU. Ever since I got a WiiU I've wanted to try out that game and it sounds like a good deal; but sadly my money went into the WiiU itself and Monster Hunter :(.
