Sonic the Hedgehog General Discussion

[Mr. Marshmallow]

He would say stuff like "I'm waaaaaiting" and like that, that gave him an edge, a real personality and not some cliche teen hero crap. Sonic Adventure has a habit of producing stiff and poorly worded characters out of the Sonic crew.

Dr. Robotnik (I refuse to call him Eggman, it just sounds too corny) and Shadow sport some of the worst treatments. Robotink in SA is cheap, stupid, goofy, and barely what I call evil. I've seen ants with more evil in their bodies then this guy.

Shadow is by far the coolest "looking" character, but his personality is as dry as his dialouge. He's a dead stick in the mud and he really has little to offer under the surface. The only character I think they did best in SA is Rouge the bat.

If you waited 3 minutes straight in Sonic CD without doing anything, Sonic will get all pissed off, say "I'm outta here!", give you a nasty look and end the game.

That was seriously funny.

OMG. I would test that out on Sonic Gems Collection if the GCN didn't almost blow up. There's the Wii coming, so we're not buying a GCN anymore...
I'll test it out for sure. 'I'm outta here'.

I was on the floor when I first heard it.

I agree. Sonic really is much cooler than most of the videogame icons from the time the Sonic franchise first made it big (early to mid 90's, I think) and even today and the only one that is probably a bigger vg icon is Mario, in my opinion. The original Sonic the Hedgehog games on the Sega Genesis are my ultimate favorite games from the series-I have a lot of good memories of them, especially when I used to play them over at my cousin's house when I was around 7 or 8. Great times, great times.

I remember the old cartoon that came out in the early to mid 90's, too. Those are some good memories as well.

I loved doing that.

It also had some nice 4th wall-breakage.

Those who are planning to get SONIC 06 for PS3 are going to have to wait a while longer. SONIC 06 won't be available in time for the PS3's launch.

BUMP!

That's what I was going to say!

I have Sonic Mega Collection on the Gamecube, and I am thinking of getting Sonic Gems Collection, the only reason for Sonic CD. I am undecided as to which on is my favorite (either on of the first three or Sonic and Knuckles-which are all due to be re-released together on the DS). His 3D games haven't been very good (Sonic Adventure 1+2 are okay), but I haven't played Unleashed-that should be good.
Sega have listened to the poor feedback on the 3D games, so they are making a new one with the working name Project Needlemouse, which will be 2D, HD and may only feature Sonic
