Sonic the Hedgehog

[ultima espio]

The 25th anniversary art book has been released, and it features those concept arts I posted a while ago for those cut Sonic 2 levels:

The castle looking level was called "Madness Mountain"

Ocean Wind looks like Emerald Coast...

Spoiler: Lol, this one remind you of anything

 

[Tennyo]

Maybe most of you don't care but it's official; the Archie Sonic Comics are over.

Quex come be sad with me.

 

[Ghost X]

Was there a conclusion to the story at least?... if there was a over-arching story line, that is >.>. *asks things that could probably be answered with an internet search*

 

[Tennyo]

I don't think there was. And there were spin offs that will also be incomplete.

More stuff revealed about Infinite:

edgelord is edgier than Shadow, let's be real

I'm sure that's Liam O'brien voicing Infinite. Sounds so similar to Caius.

Sonic Mania special stage:

Huh, Sonic CD's was the last special stage I expected to see. Hopefully it's a little easier to follow, haha.

I dig the polygonal Sonic

[Tetsujin]

I'm bringing smooth tunes

 

[Claymore]

Really cool. Mania is really hitting all the right notes for me.

 

[Tetsujin]

Blue Spheres returns!

 

[ForceStealer]

What a crazy confluence of elements from different Sonic games, hahaha. Giant special stage ring from Sonics 1 and CD in Chemical Plant Zone from 2, Sonic CD special stage but with spheres from S3&K special stage, then the checkpoint marker stars take you to the regular special stage from S3&K? Do both things give you chaos emeralds?

I did always like the gumball machine from S3&K, though

 

[Tetsujin]

New tune:

Spoilers have now been leaked for Mania, so if you don't want to be spoiled I'd avoid youtube and other sonic related sites.

I'm trying to avoid it as well, so it would be appreciated if you posted anything new under a spoiler tag. With this being the first classic game in 20 years it would be nice to go into it without knowing everything.

 

[Tennyo]

This video is a major spoiler but it is so cute I love everything about this

 

[Tetsujin]

This is perfect. So jolly.

 

[Lex]

I love how it looks like they're

Spoiler

bouncing around in the mega drive box art in that video <3

 

[Tennyo]

It kind reminds me of Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog a bit; just with good animation.

The steam version has been delayed until August 29th for "optimization". All other versions will be available on Tuesday.

Anyone who has preordered will receive a free copy of Sonic 1.

I bought the steam version and I don't mind having to wait 2 weeks, but keeping away from the spoilers isn't going to be easy.

 

[Claymore]

Yeah, that opening gave me the feels.
