A Tiny Sonic Origins Update.




Hey everyone, things have been crazy busy in my household for obvious reasons, but it's been awhile since my last Sonic scoop, so it's time for another one, I figure.


Here's a tiny update on Sonic Origins:


-The development of this thing has been a total mess. There's been quite a few starts and stops, but they finally have things going at a constant pace now, development seems to be going well, last I heard. 


-Sonic 3 is a full on remake, like the Retro Engine games before it.


-It's being made by a very, and I mean, verrry small team. I could count the number of people involved with two hands. The team assembled is very capable though.


-The game will feature QOL updates, such as the Drop Dash in CD and 3&K.


-The music situation is exactly the same as before. Don't expect the MJ music to show up here. 


-There's been talk about a special collector's edition of some sort, but I'm actually unsure if that's gotten off of the ground or not.


-It will feature a gorgeous animated intro. If you liked Mania's, then you'll definitely like this one. 


As for when there will be some sort of announcement for it? I have no fucking idea. 


The fact that we've had to wait 10 months now, with no update is absolutely absurd, and it just proves how poorly prepared they were, regardless, I think this collection will be worth the purchase, there's a lot of hard work being put into this, and I think it will pay off.


I'll share more when I've got it for you guys.

    Thank you for updating us on this, Sonic Origins is my most anticipated game this year. I look forward to seeing what else this collection brings to the table & seeing a new generation of fans introduced to the classic games in the best format possible.

    Your words are giving me hope that this won't end up as sloppily as Sonic Colors Ultimate. Would've been a real shame if the games that made Sonic an icon were completely butchered.

      Personally things I would like to see are:

      -Sonic CD's past music remastered
      -Knuckles in Sonic CD
      -More lost levels restored
      -Sonic 3 & Knuckles as one game
      -Remastered soundtrack for each game (huge stretch but a man can dream)
      -Certain graphics that relied on the composite blending such as the waterfalls to be redone. Even if the effect can't be recreated the next best equivalent would be appreciated.

    What would really be amazing is a return of Sonic World from Sonic Jam. That had like everything.

    Personally, I hope these are true, considering that we haven't had any news on Sonic Origins, which is absolutely appalling.
    I hope there is a lot in the collection like:
    - Free Previews of IDW Comics
    - All episodes of Sonic Mania Adventures, Sonic Colors: Rise of the Wisps, Chao in Space, and Team Sonic Racing: Overdrive
    - Reference sheets of popular IDW characters like Dr. Starline, Belle the Tinkerer, Surge the Tenrec, Kitsunami the Fennec, etc.
    - Debug mode
    - Time Attack
    - Nick Arcade
    - Lock-on Technology for Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles.
    - Full access to hidden levels like Hidden Palace Zone for Sonic 2

    You just said it has an animated intro.
    If it doesn’t have an animated intro when it comes out I can’t really trust anything you say

The Next 3D Mario Is Ready To Go.

Image
  2024 is here, and after an insanely long six years of waiting, I'm now hearing that the next 3D Mario, set to launch with Nintendo's brand spankin' new console, was finished over the holiday season. This is standard Nintendo practice, many of their big games are done well before release. As was said before, this is EPD Tokyo's first full attempt at an open world game, and the game is said to look " Absolutely jaw-dropping". I can confirm a few other new things as well: Donkey Kong will appear in the game in some form. I'm unsure if he's playable, a boss, or an extended cameo of some sort. Given how Mario and DK have appeared as a pair in pretty much everything as of late, which includes the movie, LEGO sets, a remake of Mario Vs. DK, and now in theme park promotions, it only makes sense to continue that trend.  Luigi, Peach, Captain Toad and Pauline will all appear as well, though I'm unsure what roles they'll play in the game.  The other, mu

Nintendo Direct Watch Season Begins NOW.

Image
We're starting 2024 with a bang. Didn't expect that, did ya?  Yup, I'm hearing from the usual sources that Nintendo is planning a Direct to air this very month. It could air from this coming week, to the end of the month.  Expect this to be "cleanup" for the Switch. Nintendo has been pretty silent since September, so expect more details on Paper Mario, Peach Showtime and a few other things. There's still a few surprises left in this old thing.  They have an obviously insane   of them, so it's smart to get Switch stuff out of the way earlier than usual this year.  Stay tuned here for more.

Mario Kart X Will Release In 2025.

Image
Now that Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's Booster Course Pass has finally come to an end, in spectacular fashion I might add, now the question being asked is "Well, what's next?"  Well, I finally have some more insight on that. The tenth (no, not ninth) installment of the Mario Kart series will release in 2025, which will be Switch 2's second year on the market. The intention is to release the title sometime before the system's second holiday on the market.  The title is being developed primarily by Nintendo EPD Production Group 9, with Bandai Namco Studios once again co-developing.  Additionally, Nintendo are sparring absolutely no expense with this game. This is apparently one of the most expensive games Nintendo has ever put into production. The next 3D Mario title is said to be "absolutely dropping" and this apparently looks even better. The game's visual fidelity is said to be a very high priority for them, meaning the game is gonna look good, damn goo
