crossworlds is out soon but let's talk about the world's favourite blue hedgehog who runs fast

My Sonic hot take is that Sonic 1 8bit (for the Master System) is better than Sonic 1 for the Mega Drive/Genesis.

Btw, Shadow Generations was really, really good.

Also, for anyone getting Crossworlds, FYI that the pre-order bonus is Sonic the Werechog.

Ahh I was already thinking of starting a Sonic thread here later today but you were the true blue blur this time around.

I'm a BIG Sonic fan and I'm really excited for Crossworlds! Kind of annoyed though that the bulk of the DLC is going to be random Nicktoons stuff which have absolutely nothing to do with Sonic, so going to avoid the season pass just to keep it 'pure'.

If we're doing hot takes then I'm just going to drop the fact bomb that

out of the two 2017 Sonic games, Forces > Mania.

Honestly I kinda find it hard to get excited for new sonic games. I love the classics though. I cannot tell you how many times I revisit SA2 on gamecube to play a round of metal harbor or final rush.

brave but also fair opinion
i also wish that we would get more sonic/sega characters rather than having nickelodeon kart 4 through the form of dlcs but we'll have to see what the rest will look like (though i do wish werehog wasn't just a pre-order bonus like what enby said, but that's just modern gaming nowadays)

my spicy take is sonic good

Not going to lie, I totally forgot Sega made a entry in their Kart series between Crossworlds and Transfromed haha; Kinda wished they kept it all Sega though since I liked some of the remixed Transformed had.

But as for me I'm totally looking forward to paying s̶c̶a̶p̶l̶e̶r̶single prices for some of the Sonic MTG Secret Lair cards; the bespoke crew seems cool (Especially Shadow) but tbh I want the Weatherlight reskin so I can hum a few bars of Stranger in Moscow when I play it hahaha.

Can I just go off about how awesome and amazing and perfect Team Dark is? And it's one of the big successes to come out of Sonic Heroes for me. The characters just by themselves, I like them, don't get me wrong, but I feel like they each bring out the best in each other.

I've always had a soft spot for a Found Family in stories, they're a group of misfits that formed a trio together and became good friends. This group also has a stronger, and more subtle sense of comradery compared to Team Sonic, at least in my opinion. They do care about each other, they just don't talk about it, and they don't need to because they have an intrinsic understanding.

This team also feels pretty balanced, it's not the kind of group where the leader hogs the whole entire spotlight for themselves. In fact, you can debate on who the actual leader is, where each character can take on that role depending on the situation.

I've got some Sonic hot takes for sure. CD is the best 2d sonic. Sonic Frontiers is one of the best Sonic games in the series. Sonic Adventure 2 is kinda bad. Sonic is asexual and dating Shadow and both of them are dating me.

[Mefurbëtas]

I wouldn't say that SA2 is bad, but it certainly lacks some things that I enjoyed from the original Adventure games which unfortunately brought it down in my eyes.
