This is fucking horrifying LMAO, if there was ever a real-life cursed toy I would bet money on this being one

 

That Sonic toy's gonna be my sleep paralysis demon for months.

 

06 bros...

Nevermind. This video stunk. John and Marc do a 1 hour long Let's Play giving the same commentary every other Let's Play everyone has already covered. I saved you an hour.

 

I love Digital Foundry, but these Let's Plays with people who aren't from Digital Foundry never work. Everyone can tell you Sonic 06 sucks - it's the PS3/360 comparisons with technical analysis that make the channel stand out.

I don't need to see fully grown men make noises as they stuggle to play video games. Learn, then start recording.

 

John could not make it through the video without using the word bespoke lmao.

 

i really would have preferred an actual analysis versus a df retro play. literally skip all of their lets plays for that reason.

 

I have this, it’s neat. As with a lot of older mass produced toys, the paintwork can be a bit iffy.

 

"A bit iffy"

AT LONG LAST!!!
A high quality cover with nice S&K and 3SK logos :D

 

Not sure if this is the best place for this question, maybe the "Lounge" or a new thread is better, but this is Sonic related, so...

I'll be travelling to Japan next week for pleasure, and there for a couple weeks, dividing my time between Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto. Does anyone know of any specific places or things related to Sonic that I should check out while I'm there? I'm not familiar with these cities whatsoever. If proximity is highly relevant, we'll be around the Aman in Tokyo/Kyoto, but still haven't reserved for Osaka yet (eek!).

 

I hope to visit Japan one day... But there's the infamous Sonic SegaWorld statue on the side of the road in Hill Country (90 mins east of Osaka according to Polygon). Be a nice short photo opportunity!

 

As far as I know, Tokyo Joypolis on Odaiba still has the Sonic Carnival area, plus lots of merch in the shop. Outside of that though, Sonic-specific stuff is thin on the ground I believe.

 

I remember this cover, oh the nostalgia. What I don’t remember is “marketing support.” What? That seems more suited for a press release.

Also lol 3 games in one, so disingenuous. More like 1 game then the same game split into 2 parts (with one just removing the save system because eh, who needs to save in & Knuckles I guess) lol

 

Nice, clean, simple cover, but looking at it up close, it kinda bugs me that they didn't take 5-10 more minutes to clean up the edges around Sonic and Knuckles after pasting them on the cover.

 

That is some BULLSHIT. 21 years after the fact and I am still pissed! Who’s responsible for this? They need to be bitchslapped for creating such agony.

 

Wishing death upon someone is uncool.

 

Kids, there's nothing more cool than being poked by someone you like. But if someone tries killing you in a way that makes you uncomfortable, that's no good!

 

I got this model as part of a collection when I was a kid. I thought it was a mistake in production. Lol.
