So my brother didn't bring the 3DS with him this weekend...I have yet to play the Ace Attorney 5 DLC case.
These sales are all that's keeping me sane.

Back to topic-
So the next Sonic Universe arc appears to adapt Shadow the Hedgehog's story, your thoughts everyone?

Blue Spheres was fucking infuriating, but something about it still drew me towards it. It was definitely my favorite Special Stage mingame.

I always fell tense during the Blue Sphere special stages. I think the fact your character speeds up the longer the game goes. Nerve wrecking stuff mannn

My Response?

Why? WHY!? Can't they just leave the duo of disaster known as the Shadow the Hedgehog (if they already got Shadow, they'll most certainly do 06) and Sonic 06 in the past?
 
oh man

IIRC Ian put it on hold after the reboot happened.

My crackpot theory is the Underground characters are being integrated in the Nu252 to replace some of the lost. IE Aleena in place of Sonic's parents, Sonia as Knuckles girlfriend
Aleena married to King Max, making Sonic & Sally half-siblings & pissing off the fandom forever

Of course there's probably a dozen reasons why that ain't happening.

He's spent his entire career thus far making lemonade out of the mountain of lemons he inherited. No reason to stop now just because he's picking through Sega's trash instead.

Mephiles is off-limits though, so we're probably not touching '06 in any capacity.



SonicGAF's Song of the Day - #66

Song: Versus 2
Game: Sonic Advance 2
Composer: Uncertain; best guess is Teruhiko Nakagawa, possibly Yutaka Minobe or Tatsuyuki Maeda

I assume that the versus mode in Advance 2 constitutes some of the least-played content in the series, but it still got top-notch musical treatment with this track. Sounds more like a late-game level piece than versus BGM though; it'd suit a Wily Castle stage in some theoretical GBA Mega Man game.

He is? Didn't he have a small cameo in Universe during the Breakout arc?

I believe so, since he was in the jail cells and he escaped from there. Can't be an alternate version since Mephiles was born outside of any known reality because Sonic 06's story is a colossal mess anyway.

But it's such a small role that the original Sonic 2006 narrative isn't involved in it. See?

...Hi, folks.
 
Yay Schala's back; I needed to ask you something but forgot what it was.

Keeping in Sonic, I do like where the reboot is going, if only just because the world they're setting up right now is Unleashed's. Kinda weak that apparently
Sonic turns into the Werehog just by simply inhaling a mystery gas

Given recent events in this thread, I won't push things too off-topic, but I just wanted to mention that I'm starting to listen to loads of game soundtracks in order to prepare for this year's soundtrack of the thread. I still plan on listening to the entirety of Lost World's soundtrack, although I'm currently unable to stop hitting replay on Sea Bottom Segue.

Feel free to shoot me a message if you have any recommendations or if you want to talk about anything soundtrack related before the thread goes live!

Spoilers: I'm probably going to make a push for Guacamelee

...Hi, folks.

That reminds me; can we please get Eggman Nega to show up already? They've been building him up for as long as I can remember.

Well, they have to include the Werehog because it's part of Unleashed.

And the Werehog is not all that bad.

Yay Schala's back; I needed to ask you something but forgot what it was.
Tweeting at me would've enabled me to get the message quicker since that's where I spent the majority of my online time this week.

Either way, don't look at this as me sticking around every day for a little while longer, as I am still put-off by certain things.

Given recent events in this thread, I won't push things too off-topic
No, you still can, from what I understand via discussions. Don't feel like you cannot discuss anything off-topic because it will happen and I've discussed that with people already.

I still need to listen to more soundtracks, in any case. I'm going through a lot of the ones on Bandcamp, since a lot of the dark horse material came from there (and Soundcloud). I found a lot of decent iOS soundtracks through my research. Are you still planning an archive at the beginning of the thread?

The BGM sounds a bit too happy to be a Wily stage theme or anything resembling that. It sounds very cool though

Pfft. This sounds a bit too happy to be a Wily stage theme. (The next one isn't much better)

edit: conversely, the credits theme gets pretty metal

He is? Didn't he have a small cameo in Universe during the Breakout arc?

He did, but they got to do a number of special case cameos in that story because of the nature of the setting.
 
I'm going down a deep rabbit hole of Japanese Gran Turismo soundtracks. "Moon Over The Castle" may be my new favourite video game theme tune.

Why do they rip all that good shit out in favour of licensed music again? :(

Funnily enough, I've read that story arc recently and I still like it, I liked Ian's characerization backgrounds for everyone but Lynx.
Hulk-sized Amy was hilarious too.

Guess Who

In case some of you didn't know, a few years back, there was a development blog for Sonic Unleashed hosted by IGN. It has a few pretty interesting bits in it, but changes to IGN's web site over the years have broken it and lots of the contents of the articles are missing, so I made a site to preserve the full articles and maybe make them look a little nicer. If you haven't read the Unleashed dev blog I do recommend it, there's some neat information, and it's one of the only times Sonic Team has shared a damn thing about their development process publicly.

(Any typos in those articles are in the originals, by the way.)
