You don't know much about the very 1st console war, do you?
That's odd, I thought Atari vs Nintendo back in the 80's, was the first war.
Sega vs Nintendo was brutal. I was actually on Sega's side back then. Well actually instead of a SNES I had a Sega Mega Drive 2. (known as Sega Genesis in the US I believe.)
But I jumped back on with the N64, I could smell something bad was going to happen.
I really don't mind the Olympic game I reckon it'll be fun, and pass the time till Smash Bros. Because aussies most likely wont get Smash Bros. till somewhere around Q1 2008.
Besides Olympic games can be fun remember Track and Field NES?
But Sonic really needs to have a Brawl with Mario rather than a boxing match or a race. Also imagine throwing Sonic in a totally different environment, with all the stages we've seen.
Also how cool would a Green Hill stage be?
Plus it's not just about Sonic vs Mario in my view that be a great match.
But think about Sonic vs Fox, Sonic vs Mario vs Luigi, Sonic vs Snake, Sonic vs Link, Sonic vs Samus, Sonic vs Megaman(if he makes the cut.), Sonic vs Megaman vs Snake vs Mario. Sonic vs Kirby, Sonic vs Pikachu, Sonic vs Falcon.
Well you get my point.
I just really liked Sonic back in the day. And now I reckon he's back on track. In my view Sonic and the Secret Rings is the best Sonic game i've played in a decade. And Sonic Rush in all its 2D glory takes us back to the beginning and reminds us of why we love Sonic so much.
Besides sometimes a runner is better than a slowcoach.
