Re: Sonic Mania
These Sonic themed Joy-Cons look awesome...
So i've played about 15 minutes in home console mode, and now about 30 minutes in handheld mode.
I'm actually enjoying it more in handheld mode. The Switch's screen is massive and very impressive, and therefore you don't feel like playing the game in handheld mode is less of an experience than in console mode.
The game just feels like it was designed to be a handheld game. I actually have a 4 hour flight later this week, so i'm holding off playing any more of Sonic Mania until then when i'm stuck in a plane with nothing else to do.

Re: Sonic Mania
20 years and having someone other than fucking Sega to make it happen!
How humiliating for Sega that a little indie development team were about to develop a better game for Sega's ultimate flagship franchise, than Sega themselves have been able to in decades.

Re: Sonic Mania
They deserve all of it. Fans have made it abundantly clear what has needed to be done for a very long time and they just couldn't do it.
Hopefully this spawns a golden era for Sonic (excluding Sonic Forces which looks fucking terrible).

Re: Sonic Mania
There's plenty more reasons to purchase a Nintendo Switch other than Sonic Mania, including the likes of The Legend of Zelda: BOTW, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, ARMS, Splatoon 2, Pokken Tournament DX, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Fire Emblem Warriors, Yoshi, Metroid Prime 4, Kirby, Pikmin 4, Pokemon..etc..etc.
Plus Super Mario Odyssey (aka THE FIRST REAL 3D MARIO PLATFORMER IN OVER 15 YEARS) is approximately 60 days away from release...

Re: Sonic Mania
What's wrong? Are you afraid Mario is going to steal your precious Sonic's spotlight?
Don't get carried away thinking Sonic Mania is somehow going to revolutionise the franchise leading to greater success. The clock on Sonic's 15 minutes of brand new fame is already ticking!

Re: Sonic Mania
Or if you want to play it (like every other Nintendo Switch game) literally anywhere and at any time in the world (on a plane, during lunch breaks, on vacation, public transportation commute to and from work, laying in bed, etc).
Re: Sonic Mania
Took about half an hour to get my Switch to work again after hard resetting a few times. The battery life when turned off is somewhere between a week and 4 months, FYI.
And then when I go to the online store, it forces me to create a Nintendo Account. OK, whatever, except that you can't do that from the console. It actually tells you to go and use a PC or other smart device. What a ridiculous service.

Re-installed it today and found my old login, only to find out that the PC version of Mania is two weeks away.
I'm literally at the point where I might drop $500 for a new 2D Sonic game. Fuck knows there's nothing else on Switch I want to play that I don't already have on the Wii U.
Re: Sonic Mania
Just got a chaos emerald on my first go on the first level. I've pretty much won this game already.
Re: Sonic Mania

Re: Sonic Mania
It's out on Switch as their 2014 hardware doesn't recognise the leap year of 2016.

Re: Sonic Mania
Or maybe the reason it took "about half an hour" for Hercy to get his Switch going properly, is because he hasn't turned it on since March and there have been numerous system updates since then.

Re: Sonic Mania
The system update (not updates) took about 20 seconds after I finally got to the dash. Nah, the console was in some quasi-sleep battery-fucked state.

Re: Sonic Mania
Well if you had updated sooner, you would not have had that problem at all as Nintendo has already resolved the battery software glitch.Hercy wrote:Nah, the console was in some quasi-sleep battery-fucked state.
Re: Sonic Mania
So you're saying that I just had to turn on the Switch to get the update to fix the reason that I couldn't turn on the Switch.

Re: Sonic Mania
No, what i'm saying is the Nintendo Switch would have automatically downloaded the software update if you had just left it in sleep mode.
