What if Project Sonic 2017 is all about having scrapped levels from past games?

And the one in the trailer is "Genocide City Zone" (an actual scrapped level from Sonic 2)?

It sounded better in my head...

It's a little annoying how any Incenses and Lure modules I use aren't attracting any pokemon...I've used a couple of each and got nothing outside of regular wild encounters...

Makes them somewhat useless despite them being very hard to come by, and I feel like the ones I've used are just wasted because of this...If I end up buying some with real money I really want to make sure they actually work...

I've reported it to Niantic so we'll see what happens...though I know they've got their hands full with 9001 other issues in the game...

I really hope they fix the 3 step glitch soon, it's not really fun when you're just walking around aimlessly hoping to find something, and all you get are the usual Pidgeys, Rattatas, and Weedles...

I wonder if anyone else is having a similar problem...

I've had this problem with the Incense sometimes.

It's another set back of the game having literally everything tied to a server, when the game is generally played without Wi-Fi.

Today I got called a "robot of politeness" by one of my customers.


Certainly never a compliment i've ever heard but i'll take it.

PSA: I would rather have Plessie from Super Mario 3D World in Mario Kart 9 over any baby or metal clone in existence.

You know, the fact that Kozaki designed the three team leaders made me think of this:

It honestly kind of fits.

What if Project Sonic 2017 is all about having scrapped levels from past games?

And the one in the trailer is "Genocide City Zone" (an actual scrapped level from Sonic 2)?

It sounded better in my head...

It is possible, depending on the workload with updating the games and create other new levels and bosses, they could have the time to go back and finish those old stages if they wanted. So I could see those scrapped levels from the three games & Knuckles (aside from Sonic 2's Hidden Palace Zone for obvious reasons) get remade and put in either as bonuses or actual stages you progress though.

We've finally translated Sakurai's Column on Sonic. Heads up: the column is originally from 2007.

With this we've finally translated all the third party character introductions. I believe we are done with general character introductions too, I'll need to check my list to make sure. In Brawl, Sakurai wrote a lot about general development progress whereas with Smash for Wii U/3DS, he wrote whole columns on a certain character. That is more proof that Sakurai really focused on characters this time around (Exhaustion and Excitement is perhaps the best summary of his outlook, or at least as far as we can tell).

Cool!

So I'm just going to assume Sakurai never played Sonic Battle.

so can anyone guess how long it'll be before nintendo announces the last smash bros amiibos? haven't heard a thing about them since the last smash bros presentation.

Somehow I think this has something to do with me watching the LEGO Sonic trailer at least 5 times today.

Well... they aren't really related, but... I'm sure people would've preferred a sprite-based Super Metroid/Fusion-type game to FF. Both Sonic and Metroid know taking creative risks with a series doesn't always pay off.

Wow, that's lame. We need to send some mods over there.

 

[ChikoLad]

Meh.

It's like this on a lot of large scale forums, Smashboards is no different either.

Mod teams get so big and some of them develop an ego to a point where some seem fine but then others seem bad. You just kinda have to role with it.

But in this case, the forum I'm trying to use has a bad reputation. I've heard so many bad things about it from a lady who used to be a member of it's staff. So I should have known better. But I really wanted a dedicated place to get excited about Sonic before and after the reveal of those games, and a place to get discuss the series in the future, so I went in with an open mind.

But after this, I'm not even gonna try to be an active member.

 

[A Distant Demon]

I will say, however, that sonic mania is probably the perfect example of the only thing Nintendo did wrong.

With sonic, they announced sonic mania. By itself, it would be a bit disappointing (for most) with all the hype leading up to it even with how cool mania is. BUT project 2017 was announced with it.

Fed Force is like sonic mania but there was no project 2017 to go with it.

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

I don't like Federation Force as much as the next girl, but really? Are the Metroid fans really sane anymore?

I'm not pro-Federation Force. I'm not going to say it's a bad game, the game isn't out yet, who knows how it'll be critically received, but the game eschewed too many of the tenets long held in the Metroid series all at once, and without any other more standard Metroid to offset its divergence showing up in the past few years, I cannot say some of the grievances against the title are without reason.

There's something to be said for people not knowing what they want until you give it to them, but there's also something to be said for being completely tone deaf about your audience.

Also this is the internet. Feelings, both good and bad, are cranked up to 11. If one were to find them too bothersome, it'd probably behoove you to ignore conversation surrounding the game until its release, when (hopefully) objective critics share informed opinions.

I would not compare Mania to FF. Mania almost seems to be the antithesis of FF. One changes nearly everything about the series and the other reverts to almost entirely previously tread ground. To the point where personally I think it looks so derivative it's boring, though I have faith it'll be a decent enough game.

It's like if we got a new NSMB, just twenty years after the last one.

Though I get your point. Nintendo killed it when they (iirc) announced Prime and Fusion together. However given that FF and any future Metroid title didn't coincide closely enough with release windows, I understand why they couldn't duplicate that. Though it really would've alleviated backlash about FF. :/

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Actually people hated Metroid Prime at first.

They thought it looked generic.

Well, they were unconvinced, which is why Nintendo made the smart move in showing Fusion as well.

What they hated was Wind Waker.

 

[A Distant Demon]

It changes everything because it's a spinoff.

You wouldn't expect platforming in a mario kart game.

You can't judge a spinoff on the same criteria as a mainline game. That just doesn't make sense because they follow different game design.

Actually people hated Metroid Prime at first.

They thought it looked generic.

And it wound up being one of fhe best games of all time

That is why you don't judge a book by it's cover.

 

[Deleted member]

In hindsight, im surprised that they haven't tried to do a 2.5D Game inspired by Super Metroid on the 3DS, similar to A Link Between Worlds.

Kind of a shame that they haven't done that, mostly because i enjoyed A Link Between Worlds (great game in almost every aspect) a lot, same with Kirby Triple Deluxe and Planet Robobot (both games clearly take inspiration from Kirby Super Star, and the Robobot Mechanic is similar to the Animal Friends from Dreamland 2 and 3) so i would have liked if Metroid got a similar Treatment.

Reminder...Metroid's 25th Anniversary was celebrated by the fans and barely mentioned if at all by Nintendo, while this year being Metroid's 30th yeilds so far just a spin-off that takes an unnecessary risk for a series that can't really afford to take such risks at this point...

I think it really needs to be emphasized that although Fed Force may turn out to be a great title, it's not one that needed to be done at this point in time...you just don't revive a series with a spin-off that focuses on an aspect the series isn't even known for to begin with...

I understand the Wii U was a bit of a flop for Nintendo to focus on a title for the system, but I honestly don't understand why there wasn't another title that came for the 3DS, mainly a 2D title, which we didn't even get for the DS...too many things are overdue for Metroid and Nintendo's trying to push things they shouldn't be on a series that isn't doing as well as it should be...

Because if I remember correctly 2d metroid is Sakamoto's thing only and Sakamoto is off making other games and doesn't want to make metroid.

...Man, I don't know my Metroid too well, but wasn't Sakamoto the guy who "ruined" the series with Other M?

Or maybe there was just 2 Sakamotos.

So, turns out the human characters in Pokémon GO were designed by Yusuke Kozaki, whom you may know better as the character designer behind Fire Emblem: Awakening, Fire Emblem Fates and No More Heroes.

Source: his Twitter -> https://twitter.com/kymg

I can kind of see it now. Just as long as he stays away from FE in the future I'm content with this. His hand drawn sketches on twitter are awesome and are full of character, but his final in-game designs come off as bland IMO. Give me back the anime styled sprite portraits with moving faces.

All of my keks.

Could you provide some more context as to what the argument was about and what was specifically said?

 

[A Distant Demon]

...Man, I don't know my Metroid too well, but wasn't Sakamoto the guy who "ruined" the series with Other M?

Yup.

But he is also the same guy who worked on The original metroid and super metroid so. . .



PS if anyone genuinely thinks Fed Force shouldn't carry the name Metroid Prime, I hope you won't be mad when we change the title of "The Legend of Zelda Triforce Heroes" to "the adventures of Bob, Steve, and Chris"

 

[Aetheri]

Because if I remember correctly 2d metroid is Sakamoto's thing only and Sakamoto is off making other games and doesn't want to make metroid.

(i might be mistememberibg an interview)

I never heard that it was reserved solely for Sakamoto, though there's still why we haven't had a 2D game on the DS even before Other M...at this point it's been 12 years since the last 2D metroid which was since Zero Mission, a remake...

I don't really expect any 2D titles to come to main consoles anymore but we very well may be skipping two handheld consoles in a row without one...problem is Nintendo literally hasn't even bothered making one, as projects keep getting scrapped or in the case of Metroid Dread, they just sit there collecting dust...

...Man, I don't know my Metroid too well, but wasn't Sakamoto the guy who "ruined" the series with Other M?

Or maybe there was just 2 Sakamotos.

Thing is, Sakamoto did a great job with Fusion and Zero Mission, heck Zero Mission is easily one of my favourite Metroid games out there, but give him full control, which he got for Other M, and he tries to turn the series into something else entirely...and that something else ended up being something that a lot of people were very unhappy about...

Yup.

But he is also the same guy who worked on The original metroid and super metroid so. . .

Difference is we didn't have a Metroid Prime Wii U in the works that we knew of when the game was announced...

Holy hell.

All this time I thought Sakamoto's only involvement with the series was Other M. Or at least that's how fans always made it sound like.

Metroid Dread

From the sounds of things I think Dread was Fed Force. FF had been in limbo since that time period and originally planned for the DS, so...

Makes sense since people feel Dread every time Fed Force is talked about.

While were on the topic of Metroid I have played a bit of the Blast Ball demo...

Spoiler: quite a bit of text

While the game is fairly fun it's one that I really don't see myself playing all that often...I'm not going to force myself to play it simply because it's 'Metroid Prime' and it is more of a Sports game which I haven't really had much of an interest in playing for years...

Other than the chibi graphics, which I'm not a fan of but that's my personal preference...
I really don't like how easily the mechs get wrecked during the matches coupled with the seemingly long respawn times...I know it's part of the way the game is played but it's still pretty annoying to me...at first it was 'part of the fun' especially when you unexpectedly have your guy launched out of his mech and you have to run back midmatch to get back in the game, but it ended up getting on my nerves rather quickly...which doesn't bode well for me in the long run if I'm going to replay this game...

As a Metroid fan...I can't find myself really enjoying it since it's not what I'm looking for in a Metroid title...but thinking more objectively for what it is, it's not a game that really interests to begin with...

I hope Federation Force can provide what I've been waiting for in a Metroid game...I've said it before, but the emphasis on multiplayer is something that worries me since I feel like a lot of what makes a Metroid game may be removed to make it more 'user-friendly'...As someone who's basically a 'solo-gamer' this is one aspect that draws me into the series since I don't have to worry about gathering people to play with or having a decent internet connection...a lot of my friends back in the day were playing Call of Duty or Halo...I was playing Metroid Prime...because I could play it anytime without schedules lining up or having to drag systems from house to house and such...of course CoD and Halo still offered single player modes, but that's not making the most out of the game...
I don't want Metroid to take this route were it becomes just another multiplayer shooter best enjoyed with friends or online with other players...that's not what Metroid is to me...
