    Up on Sonic Channel this morning they broke the news of a new Sonic mobile phone game: Sonic Dash Quiz.

    http://blog.sonic-channel.jp/archives/51473278.html - Link to source

    I've taken the pictures and the messed-up result of the translation and made what I believe is an accurate page over at Sonic Dash Quiz - thoughts on the game? Would this be something you'd be interested in playing? Or, like almost every other Sonic mobile game, will this one never leave Japan? =P

    MegaDrive EHZ Background, MegaDrive GHZ Foreground, Advanced Sprites, bad Resizing job... This reminds me so much of a bad fangame I once played.

    The only thing im curious about is the shadow sprites just rehashed battle sprites or actual advance sprites of him?

    Thank God for Topic Subtitles.

    My heart literally skipped a beat.

    I don't really have a phone to play it on, so eh.

    Wow...I've seen better fan-games. This is harsh. They might as well steal fan-made game art from SFGHQ or something.

    My curiosity was piqued for a moment until I realized "Wait, if this was a game worth caring about, the title would be something like 'NEW SONIC GAME WHERE HE DOESN'T HAVE A SWORD AND THERE'S NO WEREHOG SHIT AND IT'S JUST SONIC IN DAYTIME LEVELS' so it must not be worth caring about"

    I was right!

    Advance sprites and EHZ tiles do not work well together, it's like a bad sprite comic come to life. :)

    I have to agree with everybody here, the Advance sprites on EHZ are just weird. Nonetheless, when it comes out, and if somebody can translate it, I wouldn't mind giving it a shot.

    why do japanese devs are wasting resources in creating games for cellphones, the market is limited and they could have better results doing it for wiiware, xbla or psn.
     
  11. A quiz game, honestly? I heard the Sonic Jump cell phone games were decent. Probably should have just done another one. I guess quiz games are like, the ideal cell phone game. though.

    Honestly the Advance sprites don't bother me as much as the fucked-over GHZ art does. Main issue I have with the Advance sprites is that I dislike the black outline.
     
  13. So...

    ...any word on what the questions ask? Are we talking common knowledge, pop culture, or Sonic-specific stuff?

    My guess is Sonic-related questions, although maybe they'll have seperate categories for things like what you pointed out.

    If it doesn't have a host named Nate, Buzz, Guy, Cookie or Schmitty, it's already doomed to be mediocre quiz.

    The only event I can imagine Eggman in a Tuxedo would be him at his wedding, and that... eh, that woulda been ugly all over again.

    Just wonder what they actually will ask ya - can't imagine it's too uncommon knowledge, but who knows, maybe we'll even learn something we didn't know from this game, if anyone would translate the hidden goodies, anyhow. ... hey, I can dream, can't I?

    EHZ background, GHZ foreground, advanced sprites?

    This actually reminds me of an advertisement I saw for a cell phone a while back. I think it was like a GO phone or some shitty trackfone service. It too had horribly resized sprites, EHZ background, and GHZ foreground. Only you could see the JPEG artifacts on the background. And it was a flash advertisement. With JPEG artifacts.

    So in conclusion, at least this cellphone game does not have horrible artifacts all over the picture.
