    I'm working on working up the willpower to work on learning how to make my own Sonic fangames. Not quite there yet.
    Actually I was under the impression that the Wii version's received more positive reception than the DS version, but y'know, maybe I'm just not paying attention.

    For the record, the DS version is obviously the "throwaway" version in the sense that it's taking them the least effort to make. I'll be much mistaken if they've even altered the game engine in any way, and since that engine shows itself to be made of absolute fail when applied to much of anything but boosty-boosty-speedy-speed, I wouldn't expect much more than boosty-boosty-speedy-speed.
     
  2. It looks like you can activate boost in the air now. And (obviously) there's now homing attack crosshairs.

    That's all because this game is trying to be more like Unleashed/Colours than just another installment in the Rush series. It has the stomp, wall jump, air boost and the expanded homing attack. It's still Rush at heart, but will probably play much more differently to it than Rush Adventure.

    I just realized something. this is the first time sonic has gone multiplatform with the same game on a handheld. I don't really count sonic unleashed for cell phone those are different all together.

    I'm almost certain he means Sonic 1 SMS to Sonic 1 GG, which had very few differences. Sonic 2 SMS to Sonic 2 GG had even fewer.

    Colours DS and Colours Wii even have different stories. They're going to be as similar as Unleashed 360 and Unleashed iPhone.

    I don't think they'll be THAT different. After all, both Colors DS AND Wii exist, unlike Unleashed 360 and iPhone.

    A mobile version of Unleashed does exist. I meant that, not iPhone so specifically. It's got the same name and concepts, but after that everything is different. Colours DS is more or less like that.

    Fine...I'll throw a wrench into your logic then.

    This is the first time modern sonic has has gone multiplatform with the same game on a handheld console. Like I said, I still don't count the cell phone or iphone versions because they never expanded outside those relms. (wished they did though they did look like great games.)

    Main storyline (Post Sonic R):
    Sa1 > Sa2 > Heroes > Shadow > 2006 > Unleashed > Colors

    Handheld storyline:
    Sadv1 > Sadv2 > Battle > Sadv3 > Rush > Rush Adventure > Colors

    Storybook Storyline:
    Secret Rings > Black Knight

    Side Storys - Console:
    Shuffle > Riders > Zero Gravity > Free Riders

    Side Storys - Handheld:
    Rivals > Rivals 2 > Chronicles


    I'd bet creating a complete storyline from sonic 1 to sonic colors would be a nightmare.

    Sonic 1 -> Sonic 2 -> Sonic CD (those two are interchangable) -> Sonic Unleashed

    Sonic 06 ending undid everything that required seven Chaos Emeralds for the plot. Why do you think the only characters in Unleashed were Sonic, Tails, and Amy?

    Because SEGA was finally starting to listen to all the people complaining about sixty billion unnecessary characters, they'd just forgotten that not including mediocre alternate gameplay styles was actually a big reason for all that complaining.

    This video has boss footage.

    Ugh, a D rank? He seemed to take care of that boss pretty quickly.

    For the record I'm fucking sick of ranks. Totals screen is fine, let the game save your high scores and ring totals and shit for you to come back and beat later, but it was annoying in Unleashed that you'd finish a level and instead of being happy that he could continue his adventure to put the goddamn planet back together, Sonic went into a fit of self loathing if you didn't get him to the end fast enough or with enough rings. Yeah, that's heroic. "I just fought my way through a whole pack o' robots and Eggman's traps, but I sure did a terrible job." My fucking hero.

    Sorry, it just pissed me off that even if you reached the end without dying or losing your rings, you'd still probably get a C rank or so if you didn't BOOSTBOOSTBOOST the whole way through and hit every rainbow ring.

    More incentive to improve or just not suck. Not like the ranks really mattered outside of one achievement.

    That, and the E Rank music. When I got that on Shamar Day the first time, I cracked up.

    Actually, if you pay attention at the end of the stage before Sonic enters the boss act, it showed Sonic having a D Rank based off the score he had for the level but once it accounted his play time it quickly jumped up to an A Rank.

    The same thing probably would have happened for the boss battle too but the video got cut off too early. Besides, it seems absurd that you'd have to beat the boss faster than THAT and only getting a D Rank.

    Yeah, the game actually has an interactive ranking screen. While the total is being added up, you can run around a bit to score more point and a few 1-ups.

    Do I see loop physics with NO boost pads? In my 3D Sonic game? WAAAAAAAAT
