I actually liked Sonic Colors so I am optimistic about Sonic Generations. If the 3DS version looks pretty close to the HD editions, I'll pick it up over them. 3D + Portable = Awesome.

As for Shinobi, we'll see. If the word going around is that Headstrong is behind it, I'll look forward to it. They did such a kick ass job with Overkill, I'm willing to give it a chance.

 

[From The Dust]

I know the Wii version of Colors is well loved, but what about the DS version? I didn't hear any hype for that game. Kinda feel off the radar really.

it was summed up as "if you like Rush but not the *something, I forget what, tricks?* then you will like this"

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

I wouldn't mind a new attempt at a Sonic RPG game. I quite enjoyed the last one on the GBA.

 

[soultron]

Who would have thought 20 years ago Sonic would be on the cover of Nintendo Power.

The cover even looks like it's from 20 years ago. Awesome!

Yeah, the tricks are gone.

So you erased from your memory the one from Bioware?

 

[ShockingAlberto]

I liked both Rush games better than Colors DS.

The level design was just so bad. And the Gravity Wisp or whatever it was called levels were actively frustrating.

 

[jump_button]

will it be the same as the PS360 or will it be like the colours for DS?

I hope it will not be the same would be nice *wait to hear who the devs are*

Still awesome, Shinobi's back!

Is that Masi Oka? Ha ha.

I want that Shinobi game to be awesome.

Colours DS was slightly different from the Wii version, though. Some level designs were different, the powerups were different and Sonic's friends were in it. Colours DS played like Rush. It isn't bad by any means (ok, the level design was pretty bad compared to the Rush games). I think Generations 3DS won't be like the console versions that much (if we're using Colours as a prime example). It'll share some similarities, but it'll probably differ somewhat.

I personally preferred the Wii version by far due to the gameplay, level design and overall presentation.

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

I tried it and didnt care much for it. It was ok but I would rather have something more in the vein of the GBA game. I loved its sense of style.

 

[dacuk]

Now that we have Shinobi...where is my Streets of Rage Sega? :_;

They only need to repack the Streets of Rage Remake of the BomberGames guys, pay those guys for 8 yrs. of dedicated work and there you have your SoR on 3DS

 

[PetriP-TNT]

Who would have thought 20 years ago Sonic would be on the cover of Nintendo Power.

and with Super Mario Bros. 3 cover color scheme?

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

Let's hope that Generations isn't just a Sonic Rush clone and is also not a crappy port.

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

Oh gee....another Sonic game. And Shinobi goes portable.....:/

 

[qq more]

Let's hope that Generations isn't just a Sonic Rush clone and is also not a crappy port.

Yeah. I find Sonic Rush to be extremely boring and I did not find Sonic Colors DS impressive (only played the demo).

 

[NEO0MJ]

Oh gee....another Sonic game. And Shinobi goes portable.....:/

Think Shinobi will have to pass a test?

 

[Seven Force]

Hell, I'd be content if they just ported that SoR1 remake they did for mobile phones a while back.

 

[BosSin]

Awwww yeeahhh, Sega just make it a fully re-done (as in hd art etc) version of this:

And I will buy a 3DS

 

[Anticitizen One]

Whoa theres some time traveling going on up in here

 

[Mistle]

I hope Sonic maintains the look and feel of the console versions, unlike the DS version of Colours.

 

[thetrin]

Don't really care about Sonic, but Shinobi is very exciting. Hell yeah!

 

[Sadist]

The cover is classy. Love it.

 

[Teknoman]

This has the potential to be really good, especially with a steady framerate. Hopefully its not just a Rush style cop out for the modern levels (use the power of the system!).

 

[FlashbladeGAF]

Awwww yeeahhh, Sega just make it a fully re-done (as in hd art etc) version of this:

YES!

wait! you should own one regardless!

 

[Dedication Through Light]

welp, guess I will be double dipping on Sonic Generations this year!

 

[Suairyu]

That classic Sonic model is so full of charm it's unreal. Fucking timeless design. Can we go back to it for good?

The Sonic CD animation Sonic design is also good, as is the punk design of the original Sonic Adventure artwork, a design that was sadly never really realised in 3D as Sonic became more and more horrifically deformed as each new 3D game came about.

 

[From The Dust]

I dislike the Adventure art (SA2 was better though). it always seemed off. Unleash/Colors design is ideal to me. he's not stupidly proportion like in 06 and he isn't the short, pot belly of the Genesis (yea, I disliked it even then)

Yep, that's actually my top Sonic design. Yeah, I said it.

And I think it can be outstandingly realized in this graphical style:

Or in actual in-game:

 

[GeekyDad]

Who would have thought 20 years ago Sonic would be on the cover of Nintendo Power.

...again.

 

[kinggroin]

Something about that cover gives me the kind of tingles that I used to get gaming as a kid. Not sure why.

 

[Gospel]

*High-fives*

"Deformed" probably isn't the word you're looking for, as the Adventure artwork is the most stretched out and lanky look Sonic's ever had.

Well, unless you count this...

Yikes.

 

[Dark Schala]

Edit: ^ What a crappy design. Bleh. Did Sonic grow a few feet?

Yes. Sonic was on Nintendo Power's cover before. I'd post the covers, but I'm not sure if they're allowed.

But he was on the cover for:
-Sonic Chronicles
-Sonic Colours
-Sonic and the Black Knight
-Sonic and the Secret Rings

But I see some people's points... it's still kinda odd seeing Sonic on a Nintendo magazine's cover after all the 1990s console war stuff.

lol: "I like Sonic, he's FAST!"

EDIT: Man...I miss the days when 200 dollar systems were considered expensive.

 

[Seven Force]

God, I miss 90's advertising.

 

[Error]

With a bit of luck we'll end with another Rush quality game.

those were shite...

 

[kinggroin]

Error

those were shite...

[Anth0ny]

Generations on 3DS= all retro Sonic stages

*prays*

 

[TheOGB]

Sonic Colors in my hands. MAKE IT SO!

 

[Sianos]

I assume this also means Generations for PC is confirmed?

This is good news, and I think it might be a full port this time, rather than the DS Colors was. However, I'm not complaining if it only featyures the classic stages. <3

 

[emb]

That magazine cover is amazing. I'm really worried about getting my NP now; getting the other cover will annoy me if I do.

Shinobi news is cool. Could be awesome.

Hoping Generations 3DS is the same version as PS360. I hate different games coming out under the same name. More so I'd hate to have no reason to buy Sonic on the Nintendo platform.

 

[GDGF]

It looks like a mockup of how people would've imagined Nintendo Power to look like in 2011 back in the 90s. lol

Perfect truth lol

 

[GDGF]

Awwww yeeahhh, Sega just make it a fully re-done (as in hd art etc) version of this:

And I will buy a 3DS

I need something that is the perfect mix of that

this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kx4OaVEaNXs

and this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWD8B81bSh4

Then we would have a perfect Shinobi.

Edit: and it's got to have those 3D ninja star bonus levels too. That would look perfect on the 3DS.

 

[Knux-Future]

Will Shinobi still have the badass red scarf?

that thing was amazing to my young mind

 

[AbsoluteZero]

I know the Wii version of Colors is well loved, but what about the DS version? I didn't hear any hype for that game. Kinda feel off the radar really.

If you liked either of the Sonic Rush titles, its essentially that.

 

[Calcaneus]

Or in actual in-game:

What game is this from? Looks amazing.

 

[From The Dust]

What game is this from? Looks amazing.

Revenge of King Piccolo

 

[Hero of Legend]

What game is this from? Looks amazing.

Dragon Ball: Revenge of King Piccolo for Wii.

It's a pseudo side-scrolling beat-em-up. You can move around in 3D, but it scrolls during stages, but character fights are full 3D I believe.

 

[BDGAME]

Sonic Generations and Shinobi for 3ds?

http://i.imgur.com/Kwc08l.jpg

But serious, I hope Sonic generation isn't only a port for PS360 version. I mean, I do not will pay for the same game that I can play in my big screen TV.

I want a complete different game, like Colors DS that is not the same game than the Wii.

And Shinobi I really don't know what to expect. Can be a reborn of a excellent franchise from the past or a sequel of the shit games that the franchise receive in the recent years.

E3, please arrive soon.
