Sonic and Sega Retro Message Board: Dark Sonic - Viewing Profile - Sonic and Sega Retro Message Board

So, potentially stupid topic, but I was curious, what games (besides the classic Sonic series and Ristar) do you guys consider to be some of the greats for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive? I have this flash cart and I'd love to take a crack at some of the awesome games the Genesis has to offer, but most of my memories of the Genesis days come from Sonic.

But beyond my desire for knowledge of vidya this topic can be used for good ol Genesis nostalgia.

Honestly didn't see that one coming. Not much is known yet outside of some concept art but yea. What do ya know.

Yes I know, Sanic day is Monday, but I'm celebrating the legacy of the blue blur tonight, because I have more important things to do the rest of the weekend/Monday. But I wanted to make some room for my favorite game series. So I'm going through some Sonic fun. I'm playing through Sonic 3 and Knuckles on my Genesis then playing through Sonic Generations. I also watched the Sonic OVA and the AoSTH Chaos Emerald Arc while playing Sonic 3.

Anyone plan on doing anything for Sonic and Robotnik's (every year that goes by it gets more and more difficult to force myself to call him that, curse you Japan) insignificant 23rd Birthday?

So this is a thing.... maybe. It looks like Sonic Dash with your very own original character, and if you win or whatever your very own original character could indeed become an original character for the Sonic games.

Personally, I hope this is fake. I cringe at the idea of any fan design character being in a Sonic game ever. However I would laugh if someone made a character that looked just like Mighty, Bean, Bark, or Fang and it won.

Ok. Half these topics basically are just "I do/do not like X because of Y." So let's make a collective topic for what it is that we want. What exactly do you want Sonic to be? And this isn't even just talking about preexisting stuff; you could have hated everything beyond the design and come up with something different. Whatever. But yes. What do you all want.

What would I like Sonic to be? I think Generations summed it up to a T. It not only brought cohesion to the series but it was fun as all hell. Now granted, I would have traded every side mission for 3 new levels in a heart beat, but it was a great foundation for the future. Then they did a bunch of other shit instead and we have Sports tape and Zazz. My ideal is that they split the series into two, and make a Modern Sonic series that continues the boost formula with a touch of Lost world added to it, and a classic Sonic series that had the same level of detail as Generations visual wise. You throw in an Allstars game and you have a three year cycle for each game. It'd of created a balance and it'd have given them time. But that's how I feel.

How about you guys?
