  • You wanted it, you've got it. It's Sonic the Hedgehog Genesis for the Game Boy Advance, otherwise known as the worst remake/port of all time. I've gotten so many requests for this game it's not even funny. Try to enjoy the video, because there's no way in hell to enjoy the game itself.

    Remake or Rebreak Scores:
    1- Rebreak: Fails to resurrect the same quality standard as its original due to incompetent design, technical failures, etc.
    2- Re-Meh: Not quite as good as the original, but a relatively competent recreation that is still very playable. Fails to add any new content or fix problems of the original.
    3- Remake: Superior to the original, but not necessarily worth it if you already own the original. May add some new content or fix some problems of the original.
    4- Replace: So much better than the original, that there's no reason for new players to own the original. Not only a faithful recreation of the original, but fixes old bugs and adds new content.

      Funny thing is, for this game, the development team simply ported the Sonic Advance engine to it. Thing is, that engine was not meant for the original's sprites and stuff, hence the slowdown.

    • @ArmaBiologica35
      @ArmaBiologica35 Před 7 lety +54

      It was just done lazily.
      I mean for example "Rayman Advance" was a GBA port of the original Rayman, and even though it also suffered from having large sprites and screen crunching the physics, framerate and everything else worked just as well as they did in the original.
      And that was a launch title and it was a port of a PlayStation game.
      You´d think it would be easier to make a port of a Sega Genesis title.

      Yah. But the Game Boy Advance didn't have Blast Processing. ... ... ...
      Joke aside. The Game Boy Advance's programming is totally different from the SEGA Genesis. They may have changed the Resolution and a few things, but they didn't edit the programming and format of Sonic 1 for the Game Boy Advance.

    • @VOAN
      @VOAN Před 7 lety +8

      Sonic Advance 1, 2, 3, Rush, and Rush Adventure were all made by Dimps, not Sonic Team. Sonic Team only made Sonic Genesis and Sonic 2006 and both failed miserably. The only good Sonic game that Sonic Team ever made afterwards is Sonic Generations which like Sonic Genesis is a remake title as it is a game with remake levels.

    • @VOAN
      @VOAN Před 7 lety +6

      +ArmaBiologica35 It's obvious they rush the game out just so to not miss Sonic's 15th birthday. If anything they could had just port it to the Nintendo DS with five extra games(which later they did).

    The music is insulting to the GBA! I’ve always believed that a good composer determines the quality of a sound chip and not the chip itself. There was EXCELLENT music on the GBA, such as Mario Kart: Super Circuit, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, the Sonic Advance trilogy, the Metroid games among many others! In fact, some Sonic 1 music was in Sonic Advance, which sounds great, especially for the hardware! What on earth happened here?

Other than the change in audio fidelity, possibly because of the 144p recording, the demo sounds pretty authentic compared to the original Genesis version.

      The funny thing is, they actually *did* remake the game using the Sonic Advance engine. It's why the game ended up having so many problems. I'm not saying that the Sonic Advance engine was bad or inferior to the Genesis engine, not at all, but it was designed for the Sonic Advance graphics and physics in mind, so when Sonic Team tried porting Sonic 1 to the GBA using said engine, it obviously created a *lot* of problems. And given that they ignored Quality Assurance for Sonic 06, which was Sonic Team's main focus at the time, you can imagine they *just* didn't give a shit with Sonic Genesis.

    I don't see how others argue the GBA Mario and DKC remakes had bad screen crunching. I never saw them as a huge problem and at some point, never noticed them. I guess people are too picky.
    Goodness Sonic Genesis is bad. I can defend some parts of games like Sonic 06, but damn this game will never get the same treatment. As someone who really loves the Spring Yard Zone theme, it hurt listening to the GBA version.

    Actually, there are even some graphical flaws. Sometimes, the sprites will move a pixel or two up and to the right from where it should be (look at the looking up and crouching animations). Also, sometimes the backgrounds don't work, like in Scrap Brain where they don't even try, and sometimes the camera doesn't even block off what you aren't supposed to see (the void under the levels).

I'm so glad I avoided wasting about at least $15 on this piece of junk. I'm so glad got the Android version for my Fire Tablet instead. Not only I would've wasted at least $13, but if dodging enemies and stage hazards at high speeds and crawling through Labyrinth Zone is already frustrating enough in the Android version (and the original Sega Genesis version), then I can't imagine how I would feel if I played these same levels on the GBA port.

    @ExoParadigmGamer If you wanna know some technical information about Sonic Genesis (GBA), it's running this game in the Sonic Advance engine. This is why slowdown and frame rate stuttering is common. They have two different graphics, so they put the Sonic 1 sprites and assets with Sonic Advance coding. There's proof of concept for Sonic 1 running on the GBA just like the SEGA Genesis version. A guy going by Taxman and Stealth proved that.
