Thanks to Sonic Adventure DX, I'm currently playing through 8-bit Sonic 1 on my PC. From the first zone, here's my thoughts.
It's not the classic some made it out to be, nor is it the dumpster fire others proclaimed it as. It's pretty fun. Not 1-1 with the Genesis games but a heck of a lot better then Generations Classic was. Can't wait to beat it as I really love the artstyle and controls.

Well, I was gonna get a used DS + some games for my birthday...but damn! Why are the games so expensive?

SuperSonicFlyer · Nov 14, 2020

Well, that was rough. Still, even after all that, I do feel good. And in a sense, I feel free now.

Janx_uwu · Nov 13, 2020

Gonna get flamed for this, but...
People who hate Shadow for the sole reason of his edginess and him trying too hard to be cool, are just the modern day equivalent of the old lady from the Sonic 1 commercial.
"Why can't he be more like that nice boy Sonic?"

Chicken Little has one of those plots that has me convinced that the writers had a few short days to write it, and-instead of having an outline and a plan and all that jazz-they just wrote the script from the opening to the ending without stopping. The movie goes all over the place and seemingly has no end goal in mind. I think that's why I love it so much.

Reaper is so much fun in Overwatch. I go right into the action, I hold down right trigger, stonks.

Janx_uwu · Nov 12, 2020

I'm having way more fun in the game threads here on SmashBoards than I have playing Smash recently.

All of this time I thought Chosen Undead referred to the main character of Dead Cells instead of Dark Souls.

Janx_uwu · Nov 12, 2020

Robotnik sounds cool and all, but I don't understand the people who get mad at his name being Eggman in the modern-day run of games.
I mean, his inventions are constantly being named after eggs.
He looks like an egg.
His most iconic inventions are named the "Death Egg" and "Death Egg Robo".
Every game since Sonic Adventure (that I can remember) has had some kind of egg-related pun.
His name was always Eggman in Japanese.

Fun fact: the reason that the Sonic R characters don't control that great is because, before they even were approached by Sega, Traveler's Tales were working on a Formula 1 racing game. When Sega asked them to make a 3D Sonic game on the Saturn with a pretty demanding deadline, they found a workaround and decided to make a racing game, since that wouldn't be as difficult or time consuming as something more akin to Sonic Adventure and they already had an engine for a racing game. So, the reason Sonic and his palls don't control too great is because they're basically F1 cars.

So weird that people argue over Sonic's limb length or eye color when no one talks about if Mario's overalls should be red or blue. Where's the Classic Mario and Modern Mario enthusiasts?

Janx_uwu · Nov 11, 2020

When it comes to fan content in official games, I think it needs to be strictly regulated.
That being said, a particular conversation in the Wah thread got me thinking: what if Eggette-the fan character interpreted from the game's Flying Battery Act 2 boss-got in a potential sequel, either as a boss or playable character, or just a small reference?

I see no reason why not. Sonic Mania is basically an official fangame. Though I'm of the opinion that Amy and the remaining Chaotix members should get in first, Eggette would be an addition I would welcome with open arms. And if Sonic Forces can reference Sanic, we can get a nod to a fan creation in Mania 2, if it's a thing.

If the next XBOX has more than one X in its name I'm gonna scream

Guys, Sora's coming to Smash, I found this on Sakurai's desk!!

Master Hand is the one character I don't think anyone would be upset about-indifferent at the absolute worst.

Janx_uwu · Nov 10, 2020

Want to share this really cool video about one of my favorite video game characters. It's by a dude who's primarily a Classic fan at heart, so don't expect any nostalgia blindedness. I agree with pretty much everything said here.

Paper Mario: Sticker Star
Paper Mario: Color Splash
Paper Mario: Origami King
So I know it's paper and all that, but does every game have to be so closely knitted with arts and crafts? (no pun intended)

Janx_uwu · Nov 9, 2020

I'll try my hand at it:
Bonus 1: Knuckles (Sonic)
Vol 1
Joker (Persona 5)
Phoenix Wright
Hero (Dragon Quest)
Terry (Fatal Fury)
Banjo and Kazooie

Bonus 2: Bandana Dee
Vol 2
Captain Toad (Mario)
Waluigi (Mario)
T-Rex Runner (Google Chrome)
Tingle (Zelda)
Roll (Mega Man)
Aloy (Horizon: Zero Dawn)

And Goku is revealed as the final character. I would put Shadow in too but there were too many other characters I wanted to put in before him.

IGN's review of Sonic Unleashed is so unintentionally hilarious.

Janx_uwu · Nov 8, 2020

This clip becomes way funnier when you find the original video it came from.

Classic Sonic in Forces reminds me of the spindash in Sonic CD: Shoehorned in at the last minute, without any care or attention to detail, because another Sonic developer did it and it got praise.
However, Classic did add one decent thing to Forces: his adorable voice line in the Japanese dub.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Happy to see our country is doing such a great job social distancing!

For real though, I really hope people could care a little bit more about the pandemic here in America. I would like to attend in person school eventually, but if this kind of thing keeps up I don't expect to see daylight at least until I start sophomore year.

Janx_uwu · Nov 8, 2020

Whenever I play as Terry, I do some really cool thing once per match, but usually it’s accidental and I never do it again.

Janx_uwu · Nov 8, 2020

Smash Ultimate doesn’t do Super Sonic justice. He should be able to kill gods and yet Sonic’s SPRING is a more reliable kill option than his final smash.

Janx_uwu · Nov 8, 2020

Show me the real Sonic 4.

I said the real Sonic 4.

Perfection.

In Japan, Sega Just Asked 650 Employees To Retire Voluntarily

As Sega Sammy announced it’s selling off its arcade business, the Tokyo-based game company also announced that it is asking 650 employees to retire voluntarily. With covid-19 impacting business, Sega is expecting what it calls “an extraordinary loss” during the current financial year.

kotaku.com

I did not expect this. I really, really hope the employees can find a new job, and that Sega themselves will bounce back from this heavy hit of a financial year.

Trump: Americans Who Died in War Are ‘Losers’ and ‘Suckers’

The president has repeatedly disparaged the intelligence of service members, and asked that wounded veterans be kept out of military parades, multiple sources tell The Atlantic.

Any sliver of respect I had left for this man is gone.

How are people still arguing about whether Steve has a mustache or not, when obviously there's a bigger question at hand

Does Espio wear shoes or sandals

Nah someone just liked 75 of my posts. Really appreciated, but why?

Why is Instagram still telling me to vote, the polls ended already!

And Glow Squid rightfully won!

Janx_uwu · Nov 3, 2020

I don’t have a clue who will win the US election, but I do know one thing for certain-the loser will blame it on voter fraud.

I really liked Fortnite when I played it...but I’m less than a day into Super Mario Bros. 35 and I can already tell it’s a much better battle royale game.

I'm getting the urge to start making YouTube videos. The specific video I had in mind was to talk about bosses across the Sonic series-they really can vary greatly, from unfair trash with Sonic 2's Death Egg Robo, to boring wait-and-hit like in Spring Yard Zone, to Egg Dragoon in Generations, which is, in my opinion, one of the best bosses in the series. It's simple on the surface, yet when you take into account the different mechanics of the game and use them to your advantage, as well as just having skill, you can take down the boss in half the time of your first try.

Janx_uwu · Nov 2, 2020

I hope they make an update to Ultimate where you can attack Pokemon like you would an Assist Trophy. Personally I find a few of them to be a bit overpowered, and this simple change might balance it more.

Final Day of posting my favorite song from every Sonic game:

The best Crush 40 song to date. I wonder if they'll ever be able to top this.
Man, this soundtrack is amazing. Misty Lake, Knight of the Wind, Fight the Knight, Titanic Fortress, Camelot Castle, Through The Fire, Deep Woods, Shrouded Forest, With Me, Live Life-every single one in this game is a banger. This is my favorite soundtrack in the series.
Oh yeah, I guess I'll also do Schoolhouse and SLW sometime this month.

Hydro City or Hydrossity?

Day 14 of posting my favorite song from every Sonic game:

What can I say? I'm a sucker for ice levels in video games.
Also, there is a Sonic game I've intentionally left out, and I'm saving it for the end. Take your guesses

GenoDoge · Nov 1, 2020

Did you end up reading Ben Drowned? Was just curious to hear your opinion on it.

Janx_uwu · Oct 31, 2020

I'm going to play Sonic Lost World sometime in November, so expect me to do a bonus day of sorts once I finish that.
With that out of the way, day 13 of posting my favorite song from every Sonic game:

Not a huge fan of this game's music, but this is one I always enjoy going back to.

I remember when I was a kid, I thought every file that ended in .exe meant it was haunted.
