I'm hashing out an 06 LP and yeah it's really drat bad lol what is even the question here. The core of Colours is obviously good, the port no matter how bad can't really change it.

Right, but some of the footage we're seeing is so bad you just can't engage with the game.

Play it on a different console then, literally all the issues so far seem exclusive to the Switch version.

Granted, it’d be preferable if it ran well on every platform but maybe they’ll make a patch at some point.

Look on the bright side.



The worst of those glitches are apparently someone playing on an emulator. A lot of reviewers have played through it on Switch without any of these issues.

It probably barely existed before they announced it. The fact that they didn't show any Sonic 3K footage suggests that they hadn't even worked that stuff out before the trailer. And given the weird legal limbo the game's been in, it may have taken a long time to work poo poo out.

That's true and IIzuka has said as much, I just don't understand why they have to scramble to put this together when it's something the developers have wanted to do forever, people have been asking for forever and it's timed around a date that they've been routinely celebrating for twenty years - like, even putting aside the music issue, if they'd started the project when they allegedly delayed Colours Ultimate they could've had it done for the end of the year.

It's the safest, most low-risk thing imaginable and they're still going to fumble it.

I meant the remake but yeah, there isn’t exactly much new to the remake aside from the Tails tokens, new Wisp, and the fact you now have infinite lives so if you already own the Wii version there isn’t really much point in picking up Ultimate unless you really want to.

Also as mentioned most of these issues were due to someone playing on an emulator and I haven’t heard many complaints from people playing on an actual Switch so the whole thing may be a complete non-issue to begin with

Dear lord we (The SMT fandom) traded ATLUS the poorly run, possibly mob backed, company for this.

Nocturne on Switch has some minor slowdown at parts and while that's not ideal, it is a turn based RPG and it didn't affect gameplay much.

It's not the best remaster overall, compressed audio, some cutscenes still being low res, but it's still playable and worth getting if you're an SMT fan or want to discover the franchise before V hits in a few months.

I haven’t played the 3DS one but it looks a lot worse than Banana Blitz. BB has some cool stages sprinkled throughout but the 3DS one just seems really boring.

i finished sonic boom rise of lyric yesterday and it's...fine. super messy and bland but also surprisingly stable, that big 1.1 patch put in work, though the framerate still struggled sometimes especially in the final battle. i'm probably feeling pretty generous toward it because the previous game was so bad and sonic's friends finally being playable again is always a plus, but i didn't hate it. kinda felt like a follow-up to werehog stages, which i know nobody wanted, but i didn't hate those either. and the writing was actually pretty funny for the most part, at least partially i think because sticks was entirely in the background. all of shadow's scenes were amazing

I hope someone has saved the last PS4 build before it went Wii U exclusive for future leaking, the game we were promised looked a bit more fleshed out before they had to go into full damage control and gouge out content just to get it running.

Apparently the Colors Ultimate files include some of the Godot project files, so you can just import the levels into an editor.

Awesome. More games should do this.

This has probably been brought up before but fair warning: The already overly long credits sequence in Colors is almost doubled in the remake (like, almost 20-30 minutes worth of credits in total).

They didn’t bother adding any new songs either so after the 3 from the original the last few minutes worth are completely silent.

Also I didn’t see his current VA’s name in the credits so it seems like they managed to get Kate Higgins back to do some new Tails lines in this game.

Yes, we’ve known about the Kate Higgins thing since before the game was released. She did the voices in the Rise of the Wisps shorts too. Are Tails’ lines too quiet to hear in Ultimate or something?

I hadn’t been aware of that being and haven’t watched said shorts yet, nevermind in that case (though to be fair, Kate and Coleen’s Tails voices sound similar enough that due to not paying enough attention the credits I honestly wasn’t even aware there had been a change until around the time Sonic Boom became a thing)

I wonder if this means she’s replacing Coleen as the voice of Tails from here on or if this was just a special occasion (I know Amy’s VA said she was leaving and as of Team Sonic Racing Knuckles is sadly no longer voiced by Travis Willingham).

Then again Tails’ current actress didn’t say anything about leaving, just that she won’t be in the upcoming Sonic Prime cartoon (which is a strictly Canadian production) so who knows.

I kinda wanna know if the glitches happen randomly now since it seems the only real way to activate them is to unlock 6 worlds, then enter and quickly exit at least four of them, then start a level to activate glitch city. Once the level is over via completion or exiting, it stops and you have to enter and exit half a dozen worlds again.

Which sounds quite difficult to accidentally do to be honest?

Additionally, in the Wii version you got a bunch of 1ups for going through the entire credits “stage” whereas in the remake you get absolutely nothing except for the aforementioned trophy.

Come to think of it, I never did unlock Rival Rush. How many red rings do you need for it?
