Social The Social Thread 3.2.2 - Switch 2 Hype Time!

[Pink Yoshi]

Check this out, everyone!

This looks AMAZING

Only personal downside is I couldn't see a Deadly Six member anywhere...not gonna lie, kinda worried Sage is gonna start permanently taking their place in spinoff games. I know nobody else cares, but I do.

 

[Knight Dude]

Mind's Eye seems like a 360 game being made now.

WHO KEEPS INVITING RANDY TO THESE????

I assume you mean Pitchford.

Anyways, fun fact: Randy Pitchford loves inviting his employees to Mediveal Times. Search up Randy Pitchford Medieval Times to learn more

Sonic looks peak, rest was kinda eh, there were some titles that should be really interesting to me, but either there wasn't enough, or it left no impression

gotta start putting "Nier inspired character action game" on these

 

[Knight Dude]

State of Mid is over. Shinobi looks peak, Sonic racing could be cool, Onimusha could be cool. Mind's Eye is bringing back 2009, and there's like 3 other games that look okay, but I wouldn't remember them too hard. No Wolverine sucks.

I WAS WRONG

THERE'S ZAVOK AND THERE'S ZAZZ

THERE'S MY BOYS

AND WAVE??????

 

[Knight Dude]

That Sonic racing game has most of the people from the games you'd care about at this point huh? That's good. I dunno if they're still weird about "Classic" and "Modern" stuff, but Mighty and Knack could fill out the rest of the crew, maybe Metal Knuckles too.

Rest of the roster COULD be Sega characters, maybe we'll see guys like Joe Mushashi, Vyse, Ulala, BD Joe, Nights and a few others after all.

Wait

Why is Jet shown twice?

 

[Pink Yoshi]

Wait

Why is Jet shown twice?

Because Jet is awesome and deserves the representation

Personally really hoping for some DLC if the game does well, I NEED Zeena to be playable, PLEASE

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Sonic is the fastest thing alive. Why does he even need to drive. Lol.

 

[Pink Yoshi]

I always figured he likes to make things fair with his competitors. Sonic can be brash, but he's nothing if not a fair player.

 

[SuperSonicFlyer]

That is something I would have said. In fact, I think his wanting to be fair has been made official in past racing games where he drove.

 

[Schnee117]

If only the games said Sonic was driving in this to give a sporting chance or something. A pity that never happened...

 

[Wademan94]

Award for most original comment goes to…

 

[Knight Dude]

It's a kart racer. You honestly could say the same about Shadow or Knuckles, but again, it's a racing game. So it's the same reason why Mario's willing to play sports with his various opps.

 

[Wademan94]

Wait

Why is Jet shown twice?

I assume either an oversight or a potential covering of a character they don’t wanna reveal just yet

 

[TheMightyP]

Honestly, Sonic R 2 would be kinda lit. I remember when Team Sonic Racing was first teased and everyone thought it was Sonic R 2 cause of the logo.

Oh, I would LOVE a Sonic R 2! In fact, I would love another Sonic foot racer overall!

 

[Wario Bros.]

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds looks cool.

I recently got my hands on Sonic Riders and plan to give that a try eventually.

 

[TheMightyP]

I do hope the production values here are better than Team Sonic Racing.

I don't think Powerpoint Presentation cutscenes will cut it in 2025.

 

[Knight Dude]

They ever made Rail Canyon or Pumpkin Hill stages for the racing games?

I'd talk more about Shinobi, but I dunno how much discussion that'll bring up. It seems like it might be a Metroid style game, similar to Strider 2014. And I enjoyed that game quite a lot, personally. But there's also the surfing stage, so maybe it will be level to level like a classic action-platformer. Hard to say for sure unless they show even more of the game. The claws look cool too. So between that and two NEW Ninja Gaiden games, we're cooking up a lot of cool ninja games. I'm unsure if Bushiden came out yet or not. It can be a little hard to keep track of absolutely everything coming out. Not to mention a few games I want to get that I still haven't yet.

 

[Pink Yoshi]

Deadly Six fans when a non-Zavok D6 member is finally fully playable in a console spinoff title:

It's me, I'm Deadly Six fans

 

[Wademan94]

Marble is a goddamn prophet.

Reminder this came out in 2020

 

[Pink Yoshi]

New changes to the Electric type I made! Plus a couple new moves and its special Typergy Power.

Previous Type Tweaks

[Lamperouge]

Apparently there's a track inspired by Galaxy Force 2, further supporting the idea that the game isn't exclusively Sonic themed.

I'm now super stoked for this game

 

[Wario Bros.]

I want to play some more Let's Go, Eevee! but my barely functioning Joy-Cons are getting in the way.

There is no excuse that it could've be played with a Pro Controller.

Day 36: Mega Glalie

This is definitely one of the most messed up Mega Evolutions. They broke his jaw, man. And it's just constantly hanging open until the battle ends and it snaps back.

I hope the adrenaline of Mega Evolution keeps the Pokemon from feeling any pain until it reverts back to normal. Though the pokedex does mention that it's inability to eat makes it very upset...

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

WHO KEEPS INVITING RANDY TO THESE????

Ikr, its not even Halloween yet

 

[TMNTSSB4]

Bros built like EoS Timmy Turner

probably why he didn’t last past 2016

 

[TheMightyP]

So real talk on Valentines Day, usually I don't care for not celebrating it like at all, but idk this year it's really getting to me, and it really shouldn't.

Societal pressure? Depression? Low self esteem?

Probably a mix of all 3.

I like how the Pokedex implies that Glalie has a digestive system.

My theory is that whenever it eats something, it shakes itself around wildly to smash whatever it's eating into little bite-sized pieces so it can more easily absorb its nutrients into wherever it needs to keep them.

Also why didn't Froslass get a mega evo too?

 

[Guynamednelson]

...I assumed every Pokemon did. How else would they all be able to consume Berries?

Froslass is already perfect
