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.

Friendly Reminder That A New Star Fox Game Is Coming.

Image
Hey, remember how I said in 2022 that a new Star Fox game is in development? I have an update. But first, here's some interesting findings.  Code for this new Star Fox appears to have been in Switch Sports this entire time, it's gone widely unreported on for some reason.  Next, a trademark was filed for Star Fox last month, on December 19th, in Brazil, of all places: Finally:  Star Fox was given an entirely brand new trademark last November as well. Why is this interesting? Because it's a new trademark, it's not Nintendo renewing it or anything like that, which is what they usually do in these situations.  Credits for these findings go to Mondomega, Necrolipe, and Brian/bpijr.  As for my own information, here's a few new details. -It's actually being developed internally. This is the first time Nintendo has taken the reigns of development since 1997's Star Fox 64 . -It apparently is a sequel to a previous Star Fox game. Not a reboot.  -Online multiplayer w...
