Wow, I think its time for a bump.

So, Sonic 1 and 2 are getting rereleased AGAIN.

But this time we're getting them like Sonic CD.

So far only iOS and Android, if they do release on consoles I wouldn't be surprised if they just "Update" the versions already available.

i just hope this is in prep for S3&K then.

Police Girl · **Reply #627 on:** March 30, 2013, 07:39:12 PM

Even if it is, remastered music and widescreen are enough for me to get it, they'll probably be $2 at most like CD was.

ViperAcidZX · **Reply #628 on:** March 30, 2013, 07:41:54 PM

Hoping these re-releases hit consoles since I lack a smart phone to actually play them.

Police Girl · **Reply #629 on:** March 30, 2013, 07:55:47 PM

Oh, I guess "Remastered" music just means they're not using recordings anymore.

To clarify on the whole 'Remastering' thing:

The arrangements are identical to the originals, using FM synthesis. But they have been put together in a DAW environment and given an actual mix as opposed to simply recording the existing music. The Drum samples are sourced from the original synthesiser so they're super clean and crisp too.

Good thing the developers are part of the community.

Cool. Looking forward to it. And considering CD was put on consoles, wouldn't be surprised if these are.

Anyone got scans of PLAY Magazine's Sonic 06 (360 version) review, or know where I could find 'em? I'm curious as to why it got the 9.5-ish score it did (don't want to assume that they were paid off because Dave Halverson really liked furry protagonists, and I get the feeling that he was the one that wrote it), but there don't seem to be scans of that magazine ANYWHERE, let alone that specific review.

Police Girl · **Reply #633 on:** May 16, 2013, 01:19:23 AM

Android version of Sonic 1 came out today. Its got your Time Attack, Widescreen, Tails and Knuckles (I'm not kidding).

iOS gets it tomorrow.

Amatiramisu · **Reply #634 on:** May 17, 2013, 11:24:30 PM

Sonic Team just released this shot with a caption about a Lost World. The official FB page confirmed it's for the 3DS and they're also developing the next M&S@The Olympic Winter Games. They're in a contract with Nintendo for three games. No word on the third.

Police Girl · **Reply #635 on:** May 17, 2013, 11:27:31 PM

I think that's coming on the Wii U too from what I've heard.

There was that urban legend (or was it an April Fool's joke?) about locking Sonic 1 into S&K would let play as Knuckles in the former. But, it's real.

Police Girl · **Reply #637 on:** May 17, 2013, 11:52:21 PM

The fact that you can play as Knuckles in an official release of Sonic 1? Yes. Don't act so shocked, the guy who made the proof-of-concept Sonic 1 GBA had Knux and Tails in Sonic 1, so naturally they were probably given the okay since they had done it before.

The urban legend is bullshit obviously.

I don't know why, but I always hold a shred of excitement when I hear a new Sonic game is announced.

As we all know, most of the new ones have been [parasitic bomb], but then you have Colors. I'd like to say Generations was fun, but I got bored of that quick.

Police Girl · **Reply #639 on:** May 18, 2013, 12:01:15 AM

Unleashed, Colors, and Generations were all really good.

To be fair though, the only real "Bad" games have been 06 and Heroes. Shadow wasn't great but it tried something somewhat different with the Weapons and branching paths, Heroes tried something different too but that mostly consisted of forcing people to use forms that weren't very fast to get past things that were in their way/fight enemies with lifebars because that was totally a good idea.

The side games that were "eh" (Riders, Storybook series) were just that, side games. They weren't great but Riders at least could be fun at times.

I wasn't exactually shocked; it was just the lack of using the Kobun emote for the situation.

So are they just shoehorning them in or is a reason for bringing them into Sonic (kinda like how Tails got added in the update versions of Sonic CD)?

Rin · **Reply #641 on:** May 18, 2013, 12:06:30 AM

Generations is fun. But short... even with side missions.

Colors is [tornado fang]ing awesome.

I liked Black Knight. YES. I liked it.

As far as I can tell, its fanservice.

I agree. It doesn't matter if it tried something new, since the whole concept of this "new" [tornado fang]ing sucks.

Hey... I liked some parts of it.

I never said it did a good job though.

At this point, I'm almost willing to try Shadow the Hedgehog out since I tortured myself with Sonic: Now Loading once before. I hope my body can take it.

Some little tricks I've noticed in Sonic 1 iOS.

-You can play as Sonic & Tails combined.
-When playing as Tails or Sonic & Tails, tap the letters of the SEGA logo in reverse order when it loads the game.
-When playing as Sonic & Tails, Hold up and press jump twice.

Kieran · **Reply #649 on:** May 18, 2013, 05:05:21 AM

And what do those tricks actually do?
