Quick Take: Sonic Frontiers Gameplay.

 



Hey all, it's been a while, hasn't it? 


Lots to talk about, but that's for later.


So, the big thing finally happened today, and Sonic Frontiers finally got a gameplay reveal, with much, much more to come tomorrow. 


Let's get into it. 


First of all, the game is visually stunning. The environment looks lush, I love how there's actual weather conditions. I'm digging the ancient technology vibe of the island.


The enemies actually look very interesting design wise. I've likened them to Heartless and Nobodies from Kingdom Hearts. I like how out of place they appear to be.


That music, oh my word. It sounds absolutely incredible and I need to hear an extended version of that as soon as humanly possible. No Forces synth in sight, and that's worth celebrating.


Lastly, from the small snippet we've seen, the combat actually looks pretty fun, it's as quick and frentic as you'd expect and I'm excited to see how much variation there is. 


Overall, I came away today very impressed, and I haven't had that feeling from a 3D Sonic in 10 years, if not more at this point. 


I'll have more when we see more tomorrow. 

Pokemon impressions tomorrow as well!


See you then!

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
