the next continuation of the classic sonic series is finally here...sonic 4!!! anyone else having fun with this extreme throwback to the glory days of classic high-speed, high-octane 2-d sidescrolling action? it just released for the ipod/iphone right now, but it looks and plays fantastic on it. cant wait until it comes to Xbox Live next week so i can play it in 1080p!

Sonic is pretty sweet.  I remember playing it on the original Genesis.  It's kinda still #2 to Mario though.

Sonic Colors. Sounds and looks kinda stupid but NP rated it very highly.
Supposed to be appealing to younger ages but hard enough so older players can get into it.
Retired?

In the age of 3D, epic adventures and space aliens, they had to remake something from the 90's so there'd be a Sonic game someone liked?

Still waiting for a new gladius. If you want to know what this is.....go look it up it's only the best game in the world, in my opinion of course.

On top of Sonic 4, they are also releasing Sonic Colors soon, which looks promising.

Something I've noticed about the good sonic games vs the bad ones.

Good sonic games focus purely on speed and platforming.
Bad sonic games focus too much on lame plots.

Also, how does Sega get away with such a blatant rip off of Dragonball Z?

I think the question you mean to ask is, how does Dragonball Z get away with clearly ripping off sega.

Dragonball was first printed 1984, Super Sonic never showed up until Sonic 2 in 1992.

After digging around, Super Saiyan first appeared on the TV show in 1991. I imagine it was even earlier in the comics.

Also, another reference to DBZ in sonic.... count the number of Chaos emeralds, and then count the number of Dragon Balls.

since i imagine sonic 2 was still in development around that time, i gather its just mere coincidence.

edit: the manga version first came out in august 1991 as well.

Ah, apparently, it was 1990 that Super Saiyans first appeared in the comic.

Both of you are wrong. How can DBZ and Sonic BOTH get away with ripping off the hero of Children's Trading Cards?


DRAMATIC DRAW!!!!
