That's exactly the section that made me go "ok, this guy is just really terrible at the game and is giving it a poor score due to his own complete lack of skill".

But Sonic games really are not that hard. I mean, I can get infinite lives in a game like Super Meat Boy, but Genesis Sonic? I play games like Death Road to Canada in which you die and need to start all over again and I don't cry tears of blood because of that. Sonic Mania isn't even a long game! That reviewer just SUCKS.

Legit question: did sonic ever make fun of Robotnik for being fat? Robuttnik doesn't count because butts are funny and also I think that's the cartoon

Starting the mania hype stream soon! The stream proper will begin on the hour. In the meantime, I'm taking requests for music to play.

https://cytu.be/r/MikesCorner

It's starting now!

Highlights include:

-One episode each of AoSTH, SatAM, and Sonic Underground
-Commercials where people tell you that nintendo sucks and you should buy a genesis.
-George "Gaming In the Clinton Years" Wood having an expert on Sonic on his public-access TV show
-The OVA!
-Docfuture having you relax with Sonic 1 Easy Mode
-The Sega Saturn's weird e3 video.

Also, thanks for the av.

I have bought two copies of Sonic Mania as is right and proper. Switch to take to work, PS4 for Sunday best.

Four zones in and dang. Game good.

in the early Sonic comics and US cartoons, but never in the games or Japanese productions.

Yup, but Robotnik decided to take that criticism and own it, and thus adopted the moniker Eggman. If it weren't for his trying to take over the world and his disdain for nature, Eggman would be a pretty awesome dude.

All the Spinball avs are really good but man you got an especially choice one there.

I'm kinda bummed I'm gonna need to avoid this thread for two weeks. Spoiled myself on what some of the new stages are but I don't really wanna risk anything more than that.

Me too...my collector's edition is on the way but I only have a day to play it so I preordered it digitally on PS4. Not sure what I'll do with my extra copy, may sell it, give it away here, no clue!

But then again it's not like I don't already own every classic sonic game 2, 3 times over :shepface:
