Sonic Mania Plus releases in physical form on July 17 for PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. Along with the physical disc, you get a reversible game cover done up in Sega Genesis style, complete with 90s graphics and gaming lingo.
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!
Phil at SPC writes, "Whether 2D or 3D, Nintendo systems are generally the home to the highest number of platformers. With this in mind, the Nintendo Switch continues this trend, which makes choosing ten platformers for one "best of" list--again, whether 2D or 3D--that much more of a difficult task to do! Even when it's on an unordered list such as this, selecting ten out of the countless excellent platformers on the Switch proved to be quite the herculean task. For this edition of The Tuesday 10s, SuperPhillip Central lists just a sampling of the greatest platformers on the Nintendo Switch with only one real caveat: a limit of one game per series on this list. Otherwise, our main man Mario would hog a lot of the spots here."
With Sonic the Hedgehog making his big splash on the silver screen today, we thought we’d take a look back at some of the Blue Blur’s most memorable modern appearances in video games.
Im definitely using that genesis insert. I bet sega is kicking themselves in the a$$ for wasting the name Sonic 4 on that trash of a download. It couldve been a massive comeback to the classic series. Heres hoping they dont ruin future 2D installments
I wish they did a Steelbook for this, that artwork would have killed it on a Steel.
I was going to pay the $5 upgrade but that Genesis insert is calling me. lol
Looks pretty cool, haven't played it yet so might get physical copy for the Switch.. Hopefully it says Mega Drive for the UK peeps of course.
I wish Capcom learned how to make awesome twists to their franchises instead of rehashes
