I don't feel like they'd do that given that Team Sonic Racing wasn't that much of a hit yet they still made Crossworlds which improved upon TSR.

Plus they acknowledged that the game was received well

At Least in Origins and AIR you can skip it

Probably also because Sonic 2 is STILL the second best selling mainline Sonic game behind Sonic 1.

I think you definitely dodged a bullet by deciding to disengage and also leaving Twitter.

Because dear god every time I'm shown the drama that happens with Sonic twitter I'm genuinely baffled by it being real and also glad I never made a Twitter account. That place is a broken record of misery.

Also it fixed a bunch of minor visual issues present in the initial release of HD and restored enemies not instantly dying in co-op mode. Plus they cut down on load times more on Switch 2

with the new content it's pretty much made Returns HD the without question definite way to play the game.
January 21, 2026 at 10:47 AM
Yeah that was by an absolute long shot my least favourite part of the game
January 14, 2026 at 8:45 PM
Oh and we can't possibly forget about "Dr Robotnik's hidden traps"

Considering how some people think Superstars is killed by it's bosses could you imagine the outcry if original Sonic 2 for example was released today with no save states meaning that if you run out of lives at the death egg robot you'd have to replay the entire game again.

Don't tell Sony that Nintendo already did this 17 years ago with Luigi
January 9, 2026 at 5:09 PM
I really wonder if their new plan to remake the games in a MM7 inspired style in addition to the Wily wars style is going to work out
January 9, 2026 at 8:17 AM
I'm just glad that those parts of the fandom are basically constrained to Twitter which is by an absolute long shot the place with the worst Sonic fans.

It's not really that hard when you stock up on Etanks and press up on the dpad when using charged wild coil

I don't really think people liking 4 over 3 are really considered freaks nowadays, from my interactions with the current Mega Man fandom the second NES trilogy is held in better regards than the first these days.

4 also seems to be the new favourite of the 6 NES games as well.
January 8, 2026 at 9:14 AM
I mean not long after the announcement I replayed Mega Man 4 through 11(I've also already done the 8 Robot masters in 3 and will replay 1-3 as well) and remembered how much I liked the gameplay of them after not touching some of them for 4+ years
January 6, 2026 at 1:54 PM
I really hope that Dual Override can bring back some of the exploration elements that were present in this game. It's an aspect I feel was missing from 9,10 and 11 when 4 through 8 all had ways of having you find some secrets in the levels.

Honestly one of the few times I've cared about Sonic lore and all that is them retroactively making Mania a part of the main universe which now makes Forces make no sense because Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Eggman somehow don't remember the phantom ruby.
December 31, 2025 at 4:10 AM
I honestly feel like some of the hate the game received was forced. It's not perfect and probably one of the more flawed 2D Sonic games but as someone who's played all of the 2D games dear god there has been so much worse. That fake rumour about SEGA firing the Mania team really impacted this game.
December 31, 2025 at 4:08 AM
Replaying Mega Man 11? Nice.

I've also been doing a replay of the classic games due to the recent announcement as well.

How's the game so far?
December 23, 2025 at 7:00 PM
And it's crazy that they already got it right in the 3DS era by making it a toggle then. Ever since the Switch era though they've really seemed to have developed a habit of removing series staple options like Set mode and turning off move animations in SV.
December 22, 2025 at 1:06 PM
I personally really wished Wonder had a longer and more challenging final world like most other 2D Mario games.

Also god the bosses outside of the final one were really damn uncreative for an otherwise creative game. I really wish they were like Land 2 or NSMB DS.
December 17, 2025 at 8:02 PM
I didn't realise you were a man of culture
December 8, 2025 at 5:41 AM
Judging from meta critic it seems the majority of reviews are generally favourable towards the game
December 6, 2025 at 7:10 AM
Funny how one of the earliest games announced for the Switch 1 ended up seemingly being it's last major hurrah and a showcase for the next system
December 4, 2025 at 12:28 PM
Oh and also how have you been finding the game compared to other Sonic racing games?
November 27, 2025 at 1:05 PM
I seriously hope he gets officially added to the game as it's strange how in Forces speed battle classic Sonic is the only classic representation in the game while the comics, movies and Prime have multiple representatives.

It'd be a crime to not add him as a free character
