I'm back, and since my little break, Sega dropped a new Sonic game out of nowhere, developed by Hardlight. They usually make short mobile games, so how do they fare when it's something a little larger?

There's no sponsor link this time. Go home.
mewwing
But I'm already home...
holy shit no sponsor?!?!? a miracle!
Johnny never did I EVER think I would see a Bocchi the Rock reference in one of your videos; made my day lmao!
I am home
Unless you want me to go to my mom's, which is basically like my second home
Johnny you don’t need to explain Jack man. You’re a dude with limits.
This.
Who isn’t a dude with limits?
That
But does he have to explain Jack's Brother? xD
(For those wondering, listen to the patreon shoutouts)
Agreed. 💯
“But too bad for them I already have weed” -SomecallmeJohnny 2024
That s*** caught me off guard a little bit not going to lie
@@Gamelover882 Me too 🤣
Same 😂but now I relate a little more
i had to rewind on that a few times because it had me cracking up so hard
Weed and Sonic is an excellent combo!
0:19
Johnny: "Long time no see."
Tails (SA1): "Long time no see."
Amy (SA1) : "Long time no see."
Knuckles (SA2): "Long time no see."
Rouge (SA2): "Long time no see."
Sonic (Heroes): "Long time no see."
Rouge (Heroes): "Long time no see."
Metal Overlord: "Long time no see."
Sonic (Westopolis): "Long time no see."
Sonic ('06): "Long time no see."
Rouge ('06): "Long time no see."
Rouge ('06 again): "Long time no see."
Sonic: *"How long is this gonna go on?"*
Ha. I get it.
I understood that reference
Sonic (Cory): "Long time no _seeee."_
Sonic (Forces): "Long time no see."
I feel like the cast are experts at long-distance friendships
Johnny: carefully rephrasing "goon"
SEGA: Ready for SONIC X SHADOW ?!
Sonic x Shadow is one of the most vile things that I ever herd in my life along side with the word "Gooning."
*...Sigh me up on the spot please.*
And now I picture Sonic and Shadow screaming in fear and disgust like in the Sonic Shorts animation where they found their own "fan art"
@@DarkFrozenDepths Or all the children who abbreviated the game’s title in the search bar
He used to say mooks like in the Batman reviews. Go back to that.
It's not a dream everyone. Johnny is back!
YOWZA! 20:26
The ONLY way i can take Rogue's Voice serious is if a loudass Saxophone comes up everytime she speaks
YOOO IM DEAD😂😂😂💀
Well, Somebody's been watching Sonic X.
I’ve watched so much Sonic x growing up that I could hear that damn saxophone the moment you mentioned it.
@@PopularNoise Rogue's current voice is Karen Strassman. Her credits include Anna from Fire Emblem, Soi Fon from Bleach, Poison from Street Fighter, and Nina Fortner from Monster.
@@xavierrivera3407Same.
I fucking love this community Johnny you needed a break and your audience is all for your personal and mental health. And this covers a lot of sonic so that’s doubly impressive
Wdym by that second comment exactly
'Sonic fans suck lol' or something
@@anguset I’m saying that I, as a fellowSonic fan, while we all constantly disagree, all can agree that Johnny prioritize his well being and we all to see him well
Sorry to hear about your mental health Johnny. Mental health is the most important thing. You don't owe us anything, and we understand if you need to take a break
Agreed
He is taking a break alright playing Sonic 06 on twitch 😂
YOU DON’T HAVE TO APOLOGIZE!!! You focus on you when you need to my man!
he does its the right thing to do
@@elibonham4388get a job you bum
@@elibonham4388 He doesn't. He's a dude with limits. There's no need to apologize for taking time off.
@@elibonham4388No, he doesn’t. He’s a human being. Human beings have limits.
In the past decade plus of watching you, I’ve finished high school, gotten my college degree, qualified as a pharmacist and met the love of my life. You’re a legend Johnny, take all the time off you need🙏🏾
Congrats dude!
@@quietbatperson Thanks man!
I don't know if you're reading this Johnny, but I'm glad you told us how you felt. We dont deserve you and all the fun you've given us, and for me personally, to inspire and motivate me to do the videos I make as well. You're amazing dude. 💙
Don't worry Johnny always prioritize your health first dude, we're here to support you and we're not going anywhere
27:05 - Never, ever, ever apologize for taking care of yourself, firsthand. While this is your job, you are the core of the videos you put out, and we all love seeing you at your best. No apologies necessary and we’re all super grateful for your hard work, Johnny. :)
Johnny, I discovered your channel back in 2014 when I was in the 7th grade. It's almost ten years later now and I'm in my fourth year of college. I've always stuck with your channel as you're one of the most honest, upfront, and humble people on the platform. Hope everything is well on your end, keep releasing the great content like always, and keep taking time for yourself. You deserve it!
Holy shit yeah same, 4th year of college hahaha. We’ve been here since forever!
You're an OG certified hood classic.
Don't sweat the small things my man
I have to say, Ariem is a great pun for a Dream related character
I haven't been much into Sonic lately so when this game came out and I heard it was an Apple arcade exclusive, I just brushed it aside. All I knew about it was that there was a new character. I didn't put it together that her name was a pun on REM until I heard Johnny say it and saw how it's spelled lol. Also makes sense that's she's a sheep! I'm glad for reviewers like Johnny because I get to see how Sonic is doing game-wise. I hope this game is ported over to other consoles because it actually looks pretty fun to play.
@@rizuzechocolate Agreed, if this was on the switch or PS5 or something, I'd 100% play this.
12:01 Blue coins? Oh, they are definitely going after Johnny's PTSD from Super Mario Sunshine.
No need to apologize, Johnny, I'm just glad you're doing okay and taking care of yourself always takes priority. And I think I can speak for your entire audience when I say that you DO deserve all of us, you EARNED this community that you've built over all these years and I'm extremely proud to be a part of it. Thank you.
With all the youtubers quitting as of late. It hit me that I hadn't seen anything uploaded from you lately Johnny. I thought I was missing something, but it was a surprise that the last video was still Sonic Superstars. One thing we viewers take for granted is the availability of content to consume on CZcams. And that these content creators are just always gonna be here, making videos.
I had no idea how much you were struggling with behind the scenes man. You take your time feeling better and I hope you find a better work life balance.
People say it's because revenues are dwindling, but they're forgetting January is always a slow month.
Johnny, you’ve been going for damn near 15 years with no major breakdowns. You deserve to step back every now and then. Your health is important and we understand we need you in tiptop shape to provide more comfortable content. We as a fan base care. Thank you for being honest and wholesome with us
Keep saying Goon and Mook please! You’re one of the strongest pillars in the goon vs gooning war that I made up myself.
"Da BOSS says ya keep usin' da term "Goon" no matta' WHAT!"
Damn straight, good goons don't deserve the conflation with gooners. They're the Johnny come latelies, goons have paid their dues!
This video felt like a breath of fresh air for you Johnny. It felt like the old comedic Johnny was here and feeling a lot less stressed. Thank you for all of your videos up to this point because I love every one of them and rewatch them constantly. You will always be my favorite youtuber and I and all of your other fans are lucky to have you. Yay Johnny is back and feeling good!
Hardlight has a lot of potential as a developer, Dream Team is a solid game for being a mobile title with a more limited budget. Also I love seeing more characters come back and join the gang, having Cream and Rouge back in action is so cool.
And I'm glad you're doing better Johnny. Take care, and if you need a break, it's all good.
Ended 2023 with sonic, only to start 2024 with sonic, Truly the SomecallmeJohnny way 😁👌
“Not a single thought in those heads.” Can’t tell if John is talking about us or the cats. 😜
Yes
I first came across this channel back in 2010 when I was 10 years old. Back when it was SGB Reviews and before all the Johnny Vs stuff. I watched on and off up until 2012 where I truly became a fan and watched every new upload. I would get excited when a new upload would go up, I remember being hyped when the mega man marathon happened as an 8th grader just getting into the series. But no matter how old I got, I still continued to watch this channel. I still liked the videos, and the channel was just getting better and better. But it made me realize, that I have been following this channel for almost 14 years now. Regardless to say, there is a plethora of channels I used to watch but don’t anymore. But not this channel, and truthfully these videos have helped me out during some pretty dark days. Seriously, whenever life feels like too much I’ll throw on a Somecallmejohnny playlist (in chronological order) and just let it play out in the background, and it’s help. It’s comforting, and it’s gotten me through those rough days. Anyways, I just wanted to leave this comment and express how much you mean to me and how much you have unknowingly done for me. Legitimately one of my biggest aspirations in life, not just as a “content creator” but as a person. Thank you for all you have done
You were a big part of my childhood Johnny. I'll always be here to watch and support you no matter what.
You had me worried, Johnny
I thought I was the only one
27:44 You DO deserve us and you’ve earned your success! Never doubt that for a second.
Glad you took the time to take care of yourself. Whether it’s your friends/ family or all of us strangers on the internet, just know you are loved and appreciated by so many people.
Man... this is why Johnny is my favourite CZcamsr. He does so much for his fans and he always feels so real and down to Earth. We love you man and we'll always support you!
Johnny, you're one of the best and most likable CZcamsrs there are. Take all the time you need to get yourself healthy. I've no doubt that this comment section is gonna be full of people saying the same thing, and probably articulating it much better than me. Stay strong dude
You do NOT need to apologize for anything Johnny! While I admit it I missed seeing new videos pop up like every few weeks from ya; your mental health is MORE important than anything! If you need to break...break!
To quote Scatman Jon in his song "Scatmans World": "I wanna be a human being not a human doing!" we are humans, not machines. Remember that buddy.
Dream Team is one of those "yeah t's good" kinda games. It's basically the Sonic equivalent of Super Mario 3D Land. Nothing about it is flat out amazing or even great, but it's a well-crafted and enjoyable time. For a mobile game, it doesn't have to be more than that. If Hardlight were to be hired to make mainline games alongside Sonic Team, I think they might be able to make an honest-to-god banger. Let Sonic Team work on their open-zone games, while Hardlight make more course-clear Sonic games. You're offering the new playstyle, while still keeping the old playstyle. Sounds like a winning recipe IMO.
So pretty much a modern version of how DIMPS worked on the GBA/DS games? I’m down for it!
@@copynpastekevin4389 Colors DS is equally as good as the Wii version though so I wouldn't say it's just kinda good. Colors DS is a P great game.
That's actually not an bad comparison. As someone who also enjoys 3D Land, this was an nice break for Sonic and what they did was overall good. Sure it's no Adventure 1 & 2 levels of deep & experimental game. But it doesn't need to be and for an mobile game, that's cool. I would say Dream Team is my 2nd favorite 3D Sonic game next to Generations.
@@jaretco6423 I wouldn't go THAT far. It's not even in my top 10 favorite Sonic games. I played it twice and didn't get the urge to play it again. I replayed Frontiers and Superstars a lot at this point. But I DID have a good time with Dream Team. A game doesn't have to be amazing for it to be fun.
@roiitzkovich4545 More power to you if you think so. But personally speaking, I enjoy Dream Team way more than Frontiers & Superstar and I didn't think both Frontiers & Superstar were good.
I know I'm not the only one, but I genuinely don't sweat it if you don't upload for a minute. The videos you make/made have given me a lot of entertainment. Whatever you need to do to keep your sanity.
Now that you mention the idea of freely switching between characters, it makes me wish for a new Sonic Heroes, but as it currently stands, one can only dream.
As for that closing statement, I can honestly relate to that, losing the vision in passion projects is a terrible thing, it's okay to take a break should things reach a breaking point.
I'd love to see a Heroes 2, where you can pick the individual members of your team or something. And more polish, that gameplay style is so fun and unique once you really grasp it... it deserves more, damnit x)
It's not just Heroes.... Sega needs to revisit quite a few of their old ideas cause the concepts can still work.
In fact, I honestly liked the Werehog, but they also didn't fully take advantage of that system, especially on the platforming side. Yeah it lacked on the fighting side too, but I honestly appreciated it more when i didn't level up the werehog (although it's sad you need to avoid a mechanic to enjoy another one better).
And no need to explain P06.... Just need to see that and it explains itself
@@DarkFrozenDepths Combine the flair of Sonic Frontiers combat and the combos/basic moveset of the Werehog combat together for the ideal Sonic combat. But make that shit speedy as hell, I don't want Sonic Frontiers or Werehog levels of slow combat (ugh).
@@JustAguy006 well, that's where the "headgehog may cry" mod comes in. because it speeded up sonic's combos by a lot.
main reason the combos were slower for unleashed and frontiers anyway was to make it more cinematic, but sega slowed it down TOO much for most people.
@@DarkFrozenDepths but it makes the enemies tanky and the combat slower even if the moves are much more fluid. I don’t want to fight a meat shield in a Sonic game, that’s counter productive. I’d argue Trackers physics hyper combat is a much more bang for your buck since you can toggle it off and on if you want, while still giving the combat the fast QOL changes it needs.
Thank you for keepin' on keepin' on, but moreso for taking care of yourself.
Consider it's been 17 years since we had a 100% 3D mainline game, or even a half-3D mainline game where Sonic's friends were playable (spinoffs like Boom or racing games are another story). More than half the series' total lifespan without these things that people actually liked... and now they're back. Just like that. I'm so amazed by how quickly Sonic's friends have been normalized, and all it took was a few games (and Frontiers' DLC) within a couple months. Turns out it was just that easy!
John, please take every single little bit of time you need.
I don’t think I’m best at expressing my feelings and opinions but I’ve been watching your content since 2013 and you are one of my favorite content creators ever. Thank you so very very much for giving us a lot of laughs and memorable moments that I’ll never forget.
I’m an old fan too also silver is one of my faves!
3:52 they let Gameloft make a Sonic Dash spin-off once, and the pure lack of quality in that alone shines these guys in a pretty positive light
They also let Gameloft make Spider-Man Unlimited which was so good they reworked the Minion Rush game to use the same mechanics afterwards, for better or for worse, still miss that game
Johnny confirmed Surge appreciator. thats why youre the goat, thats why you have my vote for president
Damn, why the internet gotta ruin one of the funniest words for villain lackeys. We need Justice for Goon!
seriously thank you so much for taking the time you needed to rebuild yourself. Have a fantastic night, and take care ❤
"We're back baby!"
Bender from Futurama.
The best part of the game is the "Nightmare Fuel" joke. Eggman got his hands on some Sonic Fanart
I know we're all just randos on the internet but your videos mean so much to everyone watching, never apologise for taking time away for yourself when you give us all of your content, thank you John.
I remember people joking about this being one of the few Sonic games IGN had positive thoughts on. But anyway, I wish I could play this. As a Samsung person with no Mac, I hope we get some ports for something I actually own soon.
Man, you don’t need to apologize for ANYTHING out of all of the stuff you talked about at the end. It’s important to take breaks and even out your schedule, especially when it comes to mental health.
Glad to see you’re back at it again though!
Easily my favourite part of the game even if I don't have it yet is just the fact Cream is here AND playable. She's one of my absolute favourite characters and to see her finally return to the spotlight, even in a very weird way of accessing the game, puts a huge smile on the face.
Also, as the supportive comments keep saying, we all agree mental health comes first. Glad to see you're okay.
The real Dream Team are the friends we made along the way.
Sonics gotta be gooning hard to attain the chaos control!
9:50 Thanks for that mental flashbang.
watching old SCMJ videos is comfort food for the soul
I’ve been gone for a bit cause life and haven’t been around since the Kingdom Hearts 3 video but man it’s so good to see you doing well. You have been crushing it for years and I can’t express my gratitude for you and your channel. Keep doing the thing man we always with you!
I've been struggling with my mental health too. Seeing your message took me off guard and it felt like you were speaking directly to me. I felt less alone, and your courage to be honest and talk about it was inspiring.
Most importantly, I am so sorry that you've been struggling. A mental health crisis is no joke and I'm so glad that you choose to take care of yourself.
Never feel like you have to apologize for a long wait. Even if you don't post for 10 years, I'll be re-watching your older ones until then. From a long time fan...
Keep on running Johnny! 🦔
Dude, you do you, being a fan since 2014/2015, take a big break if you need, we wait, we will always wait. Thanks for your effort.
27:40
There's no need to apologize. Everyone has their limits and should take breaks. What's important is that you're alive and healthy.
Your words at the 24:00 mark really hit home Johnny. I haven't commented or interacted since I became a fan way back during shovel knight or the Mario maker video....one of those ones. As I never really feel I had anything important to add but I think im gonna start making more of a effort to change that. Your Story with your struggles and words of advice for up and coming creators was perfectly timed since im about to start my channel doing videos on personal review/retrospective of a game with some humor but transcribing and playing a song or two of the game. Its been alot of work and the imposter syndrome is hitting hard but your message does help in me just shutting that noise down and just doing it. So thank you for the inspiration, the words. I hope you have a good one and here's to a good 2024!
I’m glad you found it within yourself to step back and focus on your mental health. I had a similar thing with my music. I was too hard on myself, stressed about having to make new songs before our big Skatoberfest concert. I ended up forgetting about my wedding anniversary to my wife cuz I was arranging a new song.
After that concert, I told my band mates that I’m gonna take a sabbatical leave until January 2024. I’m glad I did that, so I’m happy that you took a break before your job took you over. Love you Johnny. Keep up the good work
Glad to see you back Johnny!
I’m sorry you went through some tough times recently with mental health. Hope you’re doing better now.
Your family, friends and fans appreciate you!
We love you Johnny take your time glad you told us about your mental health, people dont talk enough about that now a days
Johnny really is an OG. Love coming back to watch his content
Welcome back, Johnny! I admire your transparency toward the end of the video! 🤝
No apologies needed Johnny your health is what's most important I just want you to know how grateful I am for the amazing videos that you make and all the years of joy and smiles they've brought you're the best dude.
Johnny, I found your channel back in college in 2012 when I was suffering my own mental breakdown of sorts. I started back with the original Mario reviews and have been an avid watcher since. The style of your videos helped me immensely and brought me a lot of peace when I most needed it. Take all the time you need; your happiness is more important than anything else.
No need to apologize, Johnny. Mental matter matters above all. Glad you’re doing better these days.
That ending, talking about your feelings, internal turmoil, self doubts, and overcoming your stress in a healthy, adult, mature fashion was beautifuly well spoken. This is the reason why, from now til onward, as a 23 year old man who watched your content since I was 10 years old, why your videos will always be entertaining and well written, but how you're my idol, dude. I look up to you so much. Thanks for inspiring me for years, Johnny.
Seeing a Boochi clip in a Johnny review just made my day
Of course he chose the banshee scream one.😂
Elliot co-edited the video
@@SpinyPuffslet’s go the legend meteor attracter himself!!!
It's been like an entire month or more and I only just now realize when you're saying "Ariem" it sounds like "R-E-M" aka Rem sleep, god damnit
Johnny, take weekly breaks and give people notice when you do
I fully understand your plight John because I also went thru something like you did last year. Currently going thru college, and last year was probably one of worst times I went thru in life so far, and it sort of was due to my imbalance of work and what I did and didn't enjoy. So I 100% get where you're coming from. I'm doing better now, enjoying my classes, and trying my best to pick up new hobbies and interests while being responsible. Wishing you the best for this year, and know that I'm also taking your own words to heart. ❤
You're my James Rolfe, John. I don't care about how long it takes for you to post, I been here since like, 2011? I'm just happy to see you post and still see BSC/SGB and the like continue. You just keep living the best life you can and focus on what makes you happy man. Folks will be around. Thanks for being an inspiration and respectable figure in the community for so long. Here's to a hell of a lot more.
I was feeling a sense of familiarity with another classic Johnny Vs. vid with a sonic game, laughed at the funny jokes, and feel validated as a Sonic fan.
That's what I got out of it. Who knew the end product was not the result of what was going through behind the scenes. If it means anything, your work does make people's day who are also in a rough spot.
The comedy and energy in this one was peak. Your videos still get better and better
8:26 Adding That Seth Rollins Laugh Was Good Also I Hope You Feeling Better Johnny We All Missed You 🙏🏾💙
I’m not a CZcamsr myself, but as an artist building his way towards commission work long-term, I felt some of that pain around 23:40. There’s always some form of people-pleasing and self-uncertainty you end up having as a content creator, trying to meet deadlines and keep people coming back while wondering if what you’re doing is *enough*… it really sucks to hear you breaking down so hard towards the end of 2023, Johnmy, but I’m glad you’re getting better.
Us fans can wait for the next video, but I sincerely hope you’re taking care of yourself these months, and hopefully this won’t be hanging over you for all of 2024.
Glad you're taking care of yourself Johnny!
Stuck through the patreon shoutouts because your outro is killer Johnny. Cheers to your health, keep yourself going because you matter.
Gosh, Selene's gotten so BIG since she first appeared in your Dark Souls review.
Man I didn’t realize how much I missed johnnys stuff. Glad you’re back. Never feel bad for taking a long hiatus, sometimes the best meals take all day to cook
I've always loved how honest you are about everything. Not just in your game reviews but also just as a person. I'm not a content creator but I did put myself in a similar position and was straight up depressed and borderline suicidal. I'm better now but hearing you be so honest about your mental health and giving the reminder to take care of yourself hit hard. You've always been a huge inspiration to me and whatever the future holds for you and the channel, I can't wait.
Been watching your videos for legit 6 years. Which is insane to me. Thank you for it all. You deserve all the time in the world to prioritize getting right. My life is better bc of what you do, it doesn't get more valuable than that!
I actually had a pretty similar experience myself around December John. I had a panic attack when I was getting my first book ready, but then I got an update from my publishers that my book was too big to be published (yes really, but I had already planned ahead for that) so it had to be separated. That was actually a blessing in disguise because now I'm able to expand and make a few changes that I feel are necessary. I can't say when the trilogy will be out however. I'm glad to see that you are doing a lot better now.
1:02 never did I EVER think I'd see a Bocchi the Rock reference in a somecallmejohnny video 😆👌 AWESOME
Love you Johnny, take care of yourself. Any content you give is a blessing and I'm happy to watch whenever is best for you to upload. I've turned to your videos in some of my darkest times, your personality has always been such a comfort for me.
I started watching your work right after you came back, but... thank you for what you do. And, don't worry about having to take breaks
I was literally rewatching your sgb sonic reviews like half an hour ago,and now you upload. Perfect timing!
Take all the damn time you need in the world, Johnny. We’ll all still be here
Wishing you all the best my dude, you've been a total joy to watch and interact with, thank you so much, and really looking forward to your future plans!
I totally felt that part about not being able to sleep because you had to wake up to take a piss and then you're just awake. It sucks.
And we’re back!
Your mental health matters more than any videos, sponsors, fan, anything.
Take as looong as a break as you need.
Keep moving forward, friend.
Im beyond thankful you were able to take some time for yourself. Ive been watching your vids for a long time. You’ve pushed me to do a lot of things creatively and Im gonna stick around and enjoy anything you make. Thank you for everything and know we’re all happy you’re doing better.
Sega, where they treat every sonic game by not reaching 80% of what fans wanted
12:03 Wow, You had to play the audio clip from Batman Forever did you? Also 12:11 Good grief that facial reaction cracks me up.
Not the store itself but every now and then a game that was stuck in there gets ported to something else and it usually ends being way better than i thought.
Jenny LeClue is a recent one for me it's a nice experience.
You’re the best Johnny, please don’t think you’re letting fans down by not posting as often or keeping us in the loop with how the “next upload” is going, we appreciate all the work you’re doing and have done and just want the best for you.
Been a viewer for a long time and check out the streams on the regular and will continue to support you no matter what you decide to do!
Wish you, your family and friends all the best!
glad to see you back and to hear that you're doing better! excited for all that you have in store for 2024 :)
That ending had me very emotional, Hope things get better for you Johnny, stay strong❤❤❤❤
I tell everybody i know, as someone who suffered from depression more than once:
*_TAKE CARE OF YOU FIRST!_*
Your mental health (as well as physical) is MUCH more important than trying to hurry up and finish projects on time for some seemingly demanding customers. Those who actually appreciate you, will appreciate that about you, and will care as a result!
Johnny, I hope you get/got all the rest you need/needed, my man.
I've been watching since middle school and rarely comment but I do wanna say your vids for years have been a highlight whenever they come out. I'm sorry to hear that things got that bad, and I hope you're able to move forward better this year, thanks for everything John.
Thank you for taking care of yourself and thank you for coming back.
