I GOT CRABBY ABOUT PHONE GAMING
The dock scratching is likely overstated but a protector isn't a bad idea at all. Why not? It might be due to people docking it roughly in a hurry. It might be due to warping of heat (no confirmation whatsoever on this) and it might be due to people bending the dock inwards when they bring it to places as they travel since they want to rig it up to more TVs than one. You likely won't experience it, but if you do, it is usually on the side of the screen in the black area outside the viewable area , not like anywhere that it would be in the way.

Somehow, I ended up dying to it when I won the fight, so be warned about that bug.

Not only did they get the blue spheres levels from S3, they grabbed ones from the Sonic 1 & Knuckles combo :allears:

e: And the secondary sound for the green slime in Chemical Plant 2 is the electrified ground sound from Wacky Workbench :allears:

This is going to be 12 straight levels of nostalgia trip, isn't it

A thing that emulators have had for the last 20 years?

Not in any of the emulators i've ever used. At least with the switch it feels like i'm holding a game gear again.

Playing Sonic Mania on the Switch is making question what would have happened if the Game Gear was good. Because god drat I'm getting flashbacks.

Has Sonic always only curled up by pressing down, with diagonal down not doing the trick?

The only 2D Sonic games I've played were Advanced but in those game just pushing down made Sonic crouch. If you're trying to spindash, I think you have to push down and A.

I think they might have changed it for this game so that you don't accidentally go in to spinball when you hit a diagonal.

That'd have needed an alternative reality where mobile technology was twenty years further along then it was in 1990.

I meant it more toward if Sega continued with its handheld production and didn't die in the 90's.

Does Sonic Mania run just as well on the Switch? Not that it matters since it seems to be the only system its getting released for that is portable.
