Kart Eternal seems like the best way to describe the reception to Ring Racers, both the good and the bad. This is very much not a straight sequel to SRB2Kart in a lot of areas, much like what Doom Eternal was to Doom 2016. I personally like it, but think there is a few rough patches to smooth out.

first ep of Knux watched and enjoyed

...Honestly kinda found the human side of things the more interesting aspect compared to Knuckles' scenes

Yes please, Blaze is awesome and should be in more things

Last year was kind of the Year of Amy as well considering her sudden upswing in playable appearances

On another note, how’s the Knuckles series that just dropped today (and do any other characters pop up besides the ones that have already been revealed)?

Blaze solo game please (maybe bring back Marine if you want)

Speaking of whom, did she use Aussie slang in the Japanese version of Rush Adventure as well or was that a localization decision?

It nails the humor pretty well

Didn't know I needed the Team Rocket Trio in Sonic, but here we are (no meowth analogue yet though)

It's bite-sized and skips some superfluous scenes, but it's not as dire as twitter (as usual) made it out to be

All 6 episodes are available, yes. Only watched the first one so far but it seems fun (also it has Christopher Lloyd)

Ring Racers 2.1 patch is out.

TL;DR: If you’re overwhelmed by the Tutorial, you can get racing much quicker.
A dev blog on the Tutorial...

Routing the largest part of the playerbase through a mandatory tutorial wasn’t a choice we made without considerable deliberation.
[...]
Based on our blind tests pre-release, we failed to anticipate in full the exhaustion wall some people would run up against, and underestimated some people’s eagerness (for better or worse) to throw themselves into the mosh pit.

As such, these changes: Both the additional opportunities to challenge the ROYGBIV Rangers on Test Track, and the options to exit early at the end of the Rings tutorial and every following area, should help mitigate those frustrations while still making sure players at least get exposed to the most crucial mechanics, the baseline of finding your footing in the game.

About halfway through the Knuckles series. It’s pretty fun so far though the primary movie cast only appears in the first episode and from then on it’s the Knuckles and Wade show (with more of the latter than the former)

This does make me curious what exactly they have planned for Knuckles to do during the third film however (especially if they don’t wind up bringing Rouge in)

Knuckles show has a fun pre-spenders Archie tone to it, complete with the same kind of lame but cute humor.

But why can’t this franchise have any cool Sonic type music?

I dunno, but I’m gonna be very mad if the final battle in Sonic 3 doesn’t use just straight-up Live and Learn.

They used it in the anime adaptation of SA2 (though 4Kids cut it in the dub) so they should definitely use it for the live action one as well

They’ve already confirmed that Crush 40 reunited to do Live & Learn for the movie, so the final battle would make the most sense

The real pro move would be City Escape for Sonic’s first scene

Has 4Kids ever kept the original music from anything they ever dubbed for that matter?

I think they kept most of the background music in Pokemon, but other than that I don’t think so.

It felt more like the Wade show than the Knuckles show a lot of the time, yeah (it also felt like a scrapped movie they wound up chopping up into 6 parts and releasing as a miniseries)

There was a short time in the 5th season of the first Yugioh anime where they used a short edit of the Japanese opening instead of the US opening. But for actual normal big music, I don’t think so. Maybe the movies might have the same music? I never checked.

I understand changing the stuff with lyrics but why do some dubs change the purely instrumental music as well?

Might be just to simplify the licensing.

I tried looking it up real quick and saw this

So it’s probably related to this, just making more potential money with future liscensing that early anime dubs just did a bunch
