I remember seeing this game a lot in arcades, and I played it on Taito Legends 2. But for some reason, the game never really 'stuck out' to me. If I remember correctly, the last boss was really hard.
When I play a game, I don't worry about if I'm supporting a certain company. I just worry about having fun. I really support fun games, not game companies. I'm not going to cut off my nose to spite my face just to deny myself a fun game.
Here's my brief history of Sonic the Hedgehog:
Sonic 1: Ugh, this is better than Super Mario World...HOW?!?
Sonic 2: OK, a little bit improved, and Tails is awesome! Love the pinball stages, they should make a whole game out of that.
Sonic Spinball: Well look at that!
Sonic CD: Hey where'd Tails go? And thanks Sonic, for making other comanies develop crappy mascot platformers who are rodents with attitude. I skipped out on a lot of 16-bit platforming because of you.
Sonic 3: OK, this one is pretty decent.
Sonic 3-D Blast: Hey, it's like a cross between two games I like: Flicky and Marble Madness. So why all the hate?
Sonic Adventure: This was pretty good for it's time.
Sonic Adventure 2: I'd like it a lot better if the camera angles weren't so awful near the end.
Sonic Heroes: Lots of good ideas, but buggy as hell.
Shadow and Sonic 2006: I think I'll skip out on Sonic games from now on.
Sonic Generations: Pretty good, but I only played it because I reviewed it.
Sonic & Sega Racing games: Hey, they outperformed Mario Kart in some areas. And any game with Ulala can't be all bad.
I'd like to play games like Sonic Colors and Sonic Lost World (especially the Yoshi and Zelda DLC), but I'll wait for the price to go down on those.
Sonic Cartoons:
Sonic Saturday Morning: Eh, it's OK, don't know why everyone likes it so much.
Sonic Weekday: So bad it's good.
Sonic Underground: Ahhhh! My eyes, they burn!
Sonic X: Definltely the best one.
Sonic Boom: BWUA HA HA HA! Look at Knuckles!
Wish I could say more, but I have to go to work.
Wow, you must've only played like, one game on the 360. I like my 360 pretty well.
Yeah I said in my review of Child of Light that one of the problems is that you can't buy and stock up on healing items, so you have to use the ones you get sparingly. Luckily, there are lots of other ways to heal yourself with the firefly and whatnot.
You should finish it, it won't take too long.
It's very good, I'm really enjoying it.
I could never get into the Prof. Layton games because the puzzles required too much math. I am looking forward to Prof. Layton vs. Phoenix Wright, though.
Boogerman is one of the reasons why I didn't play many 2-D platformers in the 16-bit eara.
I have the limited edition Bravely Default, but I'm not selling it. I've got the limited edition of Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy Curtain Call pre-ordered already.
Yeah you should finish Child of Light. Shouldn't take too long, it's pretty short (but that's not a bad thing). Child of Light would be great on the Vita.
Right now I'm playing another really good game for review on my 360. It's called Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack. It's like a cross between Katamari Damacy and an old SNES game called Smartball (Jelly Boy). I think it's made by the same folks who did Guacamelee.
Yeah that's the bad thing about college. They make it sound like the possibilities are endless when you are in it, but when you get out in the real world it's totally different. I'm not doing what i want to do either, but I guess not everyone gets their dream job either. Dreams don't always come true, I guess. College was a waste of time for me.
But if it'll make you feel any better, I'll certainly play Mario Kart 8 with you. Just let me know what times work best for you! Also, just posted a new blog as well.
You know, I love single screen games where you run around mazes, avoiding enemies or chasing things, sometimes eating food along the way. Games like these include Pac-Man, Pengo, Bubble Bobble, etc. But you know, I could never get into Bomberman very much. Not sure why.
I hate it that Konami swallowed up Hudson Soft. and pretty much destroyed them. Konami could've at least made money making new Bomberman games. Bomberman was super popular, and even had an anime once. Hudson was a great supporter of the Wii, with original games and a lot of their older library on the Virtual Console.
