Got it after resuscitating the right hand joy-con which seemed to be in hibernation for no reason at all.

WTF Candy? :?

The Switch version is full 1080p and locked 60fps except for a bonus 3D level where the frame-rate has a very slight dip to about 55fps. Trust me, the bonus 3D level shit isn't even fun and I wish the developers had spend that time and energy on developing more 2D levels. :roll:

The switch version has ONE bug where there's an occasional delay when trying to exit the game (has no affect whatsoever on gameplay), and the developer have already said they have a patch coming to resolve it. In Digital Foundry's analysis, they said they never experienced it themselves and likewise I also have never experienced it. :?

As for choosing between being chained to my living room television just to play a 2D game in 4K vs. playing a game like Sonic Mania (that feels like it was designed to be a handheld game) and playing it anytime and anywhere in the entire world...yeah, i'm super happy with my Switch version! :D

What version did you get Twiztid Elf? :?

If you purchased it on Switch, are you enjoying it more in docked or undocked mode?

Yeah, Switch version so I can play it on the train. + it just feels right.

Amazing work. Does this mean Sega will cancel any future 3d sonic games from now on and finally give us a Streets of Rage open world Beat em up similar to Mad Max?

They already have Yakuza series to build the base from. All they need is a more comic book city to roam around in like borderlands or crackdown to make it more close to old videogames.


With al the attention they put into sonic they could have had dozens of SOR titles. Leave the fans to make future sonic. Rayman didn't have to go 3D to be any good. So I don't see why they need to do 3D sonic games anymore. Just do to Sonic what you ubisoft did to rayman: ie make it HD 2D handrawn sprites but with amazing visuals this time (not 16bit) and lots of space to move your character at highspeed without crashing into things which you don't have time to react to. (ie you can zoom the camera back a bit in realtime as you are sprinting around.)

So, I guess it's safe to say that the Sonic Cycle is broken.

Bit bummed, just found out the PC version has been delayed until the 29th. Still, only paid $15 for it in the end and the reviews are solid.

I spent an hour this evening navigating my way through a maze of system accounts, email accounts, passwords, mobile phone numbers, mobile text messages, credit card accounts, playstation credit onsellers, captcha passwords, and mobile SMS codes, and now my American PSN account is downloading Night Trap at an extremely slow rate. Only 25 hours to go.
The effort I put in is probably more than I'll spend with the game.
Welcome to the future!
