VideoGamer.com writes: "Have you ever wondered why Sonic the Hedgehog can't swim? No, neither had we - but that didn't stop us from stumbling across the answer during a brief-yet-bizarre interview with Yuji Naka."

So all those under water levels from Sonic 1, 2, and 3 don't pertain to this conversation huh?

ExXxilE5911d ago

That is true. Technically Sonic can't "swim", but he can walk on the bottom of the ocean, lake, whatever...

Oh, and before any clever clogs posts a comment: we've not forgotten about the Labyrinth and Aquatic Ruins Zones - but in those levels he doesn't swim, he runs through the water. So there.

Yeah they kind of were addressed in the conversation

"He assumed that hedgehogs can't swim, so that's why he made it that Sonic can't swim. But then recently he saw a photograph in Germany of a hedgehog swimming, so that isn't quite accurate!

"Apparently hedgehogs can swim, but they can't climb out of water. This picture he saw was a guidance thing showing that you should help the hedgehog back up onto a branch, so he can get out. And he [Naka] was thinking, 'Oh, nobody is helping Sonic!'"

So, I figured that's the reason why Sonic doesn't swim (Hedgehogs don't)

DanteLinkX5911d ago

before being in a "good" game of his own. The last good of him we saw was Smash Bros Brawl, and still he even sucks at that game, so there.

Dedicated Sonic Fans Have Managed to Unofficially Port Sonic Unleashed to PC

Sonic Unleashed on PC? The Sonic community managed to do just that with with the fan project "Sonic Unleashed Recompiled."

PRIMORDUS59d ago

Actually the torrent is up and you do not need to own the 360 version of the game. Also it will never be taken down.

Chocoburger58d ago

Nice, I found it on 1337x! I actually liked many parts of this game, but some parts are also shitty. Its uneven, but overall a decent game.

PRIMORDUS57d ago

1337x is one of my favorite ever since the real RARBG went down. I usually only get from FitGirl or DODI.

u gotta give the hardcore fans credit, they are committed to fix segas 3d sonic games ha.

I think it's best we leave these games we're they belong...in the past

Secret Rings, Unleashed, Black Knight etc, they weren't the best at least enough for a remaster

Generations is getting one because they had something easy to shove Shadow into before the Sonic 3 film and it's probably the better ones they've did over the past decade or so.

rayford15322d ago

Unleashed was one of my favorite P3 games would love a remastered version

NSANiTY321d ago

Minus the Werehog levels and I'm in.
