you ever think about doing a debunking the difficulty on Sonic Spinball? I only recently learned the objectives to beating the game, and it's still terribly hard, but would make a really good episode imo.
Gotta say, this game is gorgeous and colorful! Reminiscent of Sonic 2, which by far is my favorite soundtrack out the entire series. This Superstar game has a great trackless for a good chunk of their stages - im gonna get me the soundtrack!
Errant Signal said it best when he said Sonic isn’t about pure speed as much as it’s about managing momentum and inertia mixed with exploration. It’s not just “go fast” it’s “manage how fast you’re going so you don’t crash and get back up to speed when you do crash
@@egr1957 Okay, because they wanted to sell the idea that he was faster than mario, except anyone who's played the first games knows he's not actually super fast, as much as he generates the illusion of speed via momentum
The game does look nice, but I mean, DK Tropical Freeze looked even nicer and didn't have lag issues and so on. I don't think the issue is the Switch lacking power, I think the game is likely very poorly optimized, which is kinda to be expected from sonic team, sadly.
This isn't a 60 dollar game. Pretty sure Sonic Mania was 30. Fun watching you play though, Ryu. I'll wait for it to go on a steam sale or something haha.
If you use the right stickyou notonly select fasterbut the menu dissapears assoon as you let go ofthe right stick Also not sure if other robots do that at the cybercity bosses, but the appearance that you customized your multiplayer robot to apparently effects the ampearance the boss has
This looks good on switch but it looks insane on PS5 they should’ve waited till next month for this game they got spider man 2 and Mario wonder Friday this game is dead before it had a chance you have 2 titans clashing Friday and it looks amazing I gotta pick it up still I wanted to today but I’m playing assassins creed atm plus I got the big 2 Friday
They also like to put the rings behind walls. There was a spot that had three rings leading into the wall. You kept going tho. It was before using knuckles
As soon as you the song reminded you of a JRPG (around 50-55 minute mark) in the bonus world, all I could think of was Shining in the Darkness on Sega Genesis. When do we get a full play through of Shining in the Darkness!? :D
Gotta admit i was feeling kinda not great and i just went and played the whole thing anyway. Im doing the Trip run now. The levels definitely need multiple plays. I decided to grab Sonic forces too which i am enjoying
Game looks slower, more sluggish and tedious than I expected even from the mildly critical IGN and GameSpot reviews, but at least "pukebag zone" is back and (unironically) confirmed as the best part of the game (and a calming distraction).
About the performance on switch, i have the earliest released type of model of the OG switch & for me whi,e there are some frame rate issues in the loading screen, both in base form & super form i never had frame rate issues in the actual stages
This shit definetly needs to get more time coverage on this channel. I mean, it's the first cool classic-style 2D Sonic game in many years (none of us doesn't count the abomination that was Sonic 4, I hope). MOAAARR SONIC!
3:03:39-3:03:53 Ryu: I don't think so, Bub! My moment's not over! *dies* Ryu: My moment's over. I LOLed at this, sorry. Also, he skipped Act Sonic in the Speed Jungle & Act Knuckles in the Golden Capital.
I beat both games to 100% and honestly this game is so much better than Mario Wonder. Mario Wonder feels like its demographic is 3 - 10 year olds and this game feels like the demographic is 8 to 18 when you consider end game difficulty
My name is Alfredo Hernandez born with Down syndrome and I am fan of dreamcast era and question why people make fun because just because like sonic hedgehog
Sadly the twitch version looks pretty horrible in comparison to the other versions. The resolution is turned down, shine effects look like graphical glitches, and I think it goes without saying that there clearly is input lag/response issues. All in all though, I agree that it really isn't worth a 60 dollar price tag given how short it is. Older sonic games usually took longer than this.
Tails, knuckles & amy don't actually turn super, amy has a super form since origins plus which was DLC so i can see why that isn't included & super tails was since S3&K butthat was with the super emerald, the first time with the chaos emeralds was in mania & origins sonic 3 & knuckles (no cheats in sonic 1 & 2i cluded) so it's pretty much only 2 (not incuding rereleases for tails) so i'm not sure how i feel about But knuckles always had a super form so that's just quite an oversight, also the only characters who actually turn super are sonic & trip & trip is the only 1 who's moveset changes when turning super
I like seeing Ryukahr take down the new games. How that bear get inside that clown?! This game is a generic copy of past sonics without the cool music. The bonus stage is the only interesting part I saw.
This game looks a little like Generations, which I didn't care for. Wish it leaned more into the Sonic Mania vibe, but I know the controls probably feel different when you play it versus just watching.
Why did u play this on switch. Switch ports are awful loom at mortal kombat 1. That was kind of stupid. They announced sonic super stars before mario wonder was announced.
Ryu, while it is nice to see you play other games once in a while, there are times the games you choose make me glad I don't have a switch for. This game looks so bad on the switch in comparison to other platforms, and it is pretty clear you are having some obvious input lag and response issues. Seen you play too much Mario to know that your response time on games like this is far better than it was on this one.
The graphics look really bad. Is this supposed to look like the original SEGA Sonic or is it just because it's the lousy Switch version? That would explain the fps although the original games on the SEGA didn't have such lag spikes 😂
@@R_wir3 Plenty of 2D platformers look better, including in this very series. The art direction here feels like a cross between Sonic 4 and NSMB, just the absolute blandest take possible. Not that it's terribly surprising coming from Arzest.
No sonic game has ever been truly good. It's a bad concept and should have gone the way of 100 other weird mascots from the early days of video games. I honestly believe Sega just did the greatest marketing campaign of all time and nostalgia colors everyone's vision
God, this game reminds me of the awful Sonic 4, which I would have rather never remembered. I used to be a Sonic fan, and was again with Sonic Mania, but this looks terrible!
This game has the look of the classic..but no explore, no chaos emeralds..no secrets. Like...am i missing something? Just run right? Wonder has the same problem. Just easy mode for kids and inept adults. Wish they would add secrets in levels that require real skill and reward you with interesting mechanics.
I, an intelligent well-adjusted adult, am also shocked to find that a video game about a speedy blue hedgehog and his animal friends may in fact be intended for children.
Loved the F-zero rabbit hole you dove down!

I remember playing that game as a kid but have never revisited it since. I still have the original cartridge and case! I’ll have to do it sometime.
it is hard,spent many hours as a kid back in the day on it and most kids never made it past the 2nd level

@@JonJon98-fv4qx sort of a pick and choose right? Thanks for that. I’ll skim through and see. Ooh gotta check Mania’s OST out too.

Sonic's catchphrase is literally "Gotta go fast!".
@@egr1957 Okay, because they wanted to sell the idea that he was faster than mario, except anyone who's played the first games knows he's not actually super fast, as much as he generates the illusion of speed via momentum
It was hillarious how the game decided that ryu shouldn't be super sonic. Laughed outloud at 3:01:40

yeah the game does have some stuttering in load times despite not being too detailed. still looks pretty at least
Got this on PS5 and it ran very smooth with the exception of the load screen, that was always glitchy. Also the graphics are much better too.
What happened to F-Zero GX? Wasn't Ryu going to play more of it?
One of my fav streamers here. Welcome back 🎉
Too bad it came out right before the new Mario. I feel this will fall between the cracks because of it.
I think it's great they can still be rivals
it will fail because its a bag game especially the steam version
ASS!! You scared me with the drowning music and gave me trauma flashbacks lmfao.
This game looks great! I feel bad waiting for a sale but I’m gonna have to.
This isn't a 60 dollar game. Pretty sure Sonic Mania was 30. Fun watching you play though, Ryu. I'll wait for it to go on a steam sale or something haha.
Mania was $20, but on sale it's $15-10. This game is $60-70.
They really need to bring back Chao Garden in one of those games.
Sonic is really slow in this, I wonder if they are trying to make it more like Mario?
Man i thought the same shit
I did not get a notification for the stream. Sorry I missed it, hope to catch the next one!

"I wonder if it has better performance and load time on PS5"... you actually asked this question *laughs*
some games are poorly optimized. not that crazy.
Someone uploaded a Mario wonder speed run here on yt yesterday (it got taken down) maybe that is whag chat was talking about [near 45 min mark]😅

Lego Eggman. Legman?
In my opinion emerald hill zone from sonic 2 is one of the best genesis 1st stages. Only outshined by New Junk City from Earthworm Jim 1.
This game is good but it’ll be nothing compared to Grand Poo World 3.
Yeah can't wait for barb to drop it and poo to play. But that's apples and oranges
Um just to let you know it’s called the tornado and it’s a biplane

Kinda glad I didn't buy this game now. Getting Sonic 4 vibes with the flow and special stages.

Plays exactly like Mania, though!
Cuz it's on switch
