Looks like he's playing that DS Sonic collection on a DS lite (or original model -- rather than a DSi, I mean).


The poor kid. Nobody should have to go through that.

Before seeing the video I thought these 2 statements were related. I know, I'm a terrible person.

(It's a DS Lite, too.)

[Maxd]

no, it is not. Notice the color, shoulder buttons, and the speaker holes. Definitely a DSi.

[Neo Hazard]

I kinda thought the camera in the middle was a dead giveaway.

That is awful though, what reason would they have for singling out a kid?

[Skyler]

Derr, didn't notice the camera.

[Sparks]

It's pretty awesome that a kid shows interest in Sonic Classic Collection.

The news report itself is just disgusting, makes me want to consider Amtrak.

Do the Japanese versions of Sonic Heroes, Shadow the Hedgehog, and Sonic Riders have options for English text? I really enjoy Junichi's voice-over work but I'd also like to be able to know what's being said.

Because it deserves better coverage than being in the misc Youtube topic:



Are the differences in this advert additions by the creators do you think or actual in-game differences? (alternate GHZ Boss ball graphics, loooooooooooong spring in Marble Zone)

The long spring in Marble Zone has to be post-edited. I mean, Sonic Team couldn't have planned on doing that. It looks horrible and ridiculous, and, to my knowledge, you can't just have a regular object be 16x16 and then all of the sudden be 1024x16.
I like how the... guy there shows how accurately how Genesis cartridges are inserted.

Now for something a bit different, there's a spring out-of-bounds in SA's Emerald Coast. Of course, all those that tried to enter EC with Knuckles, Tails or Amy will know that, but anyway... I managed to get really close to it with Sonic.



Anybody have any ideas? I'd love to see this happen. Well, I'll try making a short TAS in Dolphin by tomorrow, if no-one can make the jump until then. Note that this was recorded on the PC version, but the GC version is basically the same thing.

That GHZ ball has showed up in other media, and someone described how it actually worked (was it L0st?). I've never personally seen the Marble Zone spring before, but I like it.

No it doesn't work! Those are all edits on top of the video. I think a better quality video is needed to actually see it though.

While fixing our list of Third-Party T-Series Codes, I found one that led to "Sega (? - cleaning kit)". Turns out it's this thing, by a company "C-Seven":

Not sure if this was ever pointed out, but I doubt it because no one seems to care about this game.

In Sonic Shuffle, it appears there's a debug menu that can appear at the title screen, or somewhere around there. It seems you can access a sound test, maybe a model viewier, a file system viewer, and a bunch of other stuff.

I don't know if all these strings are tied to the menu though. I found this in TITLE.BIN in the SUBPROG directory, not in 1ST_READ.BIN. Not sure if there's a way to get it to load up anymore.

After looking for more work by Hideki Naganuma, I came across Ollie King's OST... and a nice link to Sonic Unleashed.
Go to about 2:12 in the following video:

I swear this is the exact same part that is used in Apotos - Windmill Isle Day. Not only that, but this track in itself also sounds eerily similar to Deep Core from Sonic Rush Adventure in parts. I'm not totally suprised by this, but it's a little strange as, to my recollection, he didn't do any music for Sonic Rush Adventure or Sonic Unleashed.

[PARASOL]

I'm not sure if it was mentioned before but apparently someone found an unused attack for Perfect Chaos in Sonic Adventure.

(If this was mentioned before please disregard)

[MainMemory]

I'm fairly certain I knew about that even before I found the object in my disassembly.
