nice video sonic 3 & knuckles is my 2nd favourite sonic game my first favourite is sonic adventure 2

I can back you up I was also an idiot and failed a lot of the super emeralds without savestates

The Wii had Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games and that, with the winter games, has to be the most memorable gaming sessions I had with my brother and my friend back then. It was also so gooffy. The way to run fast in Wii games was to flail your arms in front of you and it is simultaneously very intuitive and ridiculous when you think about it. The way Mario Galaxy implemented a thing to do for Player 2 even if they had no character was pretty smart too. You could freeze enemies, collect crystal thingies and shoot them. You were essentially playing another type of game altogether, while still playing with your friend. ^^

Even if many people call the Wii a retro device in 2024/2025, that's still weird to me. My memories are that I actually enjoyed a fair amount of content on the WiiWare section of the Wii Shop Channel such as Cave Story and games made by Shin'en (FAST Racing being one of their games). I didn't had a lot of games on it tbh I wasn't able to afford physical games. (of course I had Mario Kart with it and that thing called Wii Fit plus lol) There was the appearance of the homebrew channel too. =) I was quite ashamed tho, so... no games with it. That's why my friends gave me some games to play together, but then why not just play them at their home instead lmao. Then I could afford for more physical games on the Wii U. Also, the Wii U had perfect compatibility with Wii games, which ofc that made the Wii U a perfect console system for me :). I kept the Wii console to do some hacking with it tho, as it was still fun back in the day. Now with Reconnect24 being a thing, it's pretty common to use homebrew anyway. I guess homebrew becoming common makes the "Wii console is retro" argument, but honestly? IS Wii U retro then? That's why i'm still not considering the Wii as a retro device ! (BTW you can bring back old channels with Reconnect24!) As for the Switch, I had poor interest for it, maybe with the Switch 2 though.

I get what you mean! BUT I have never opened that many tabs at the same time LMAO

Nice touhou stream.

I remember continuously jumping on it until eventually I somehow managed to just squeeze through a tiny opening in the bottom right corner. I don't really know how it happened without me dying from Being crushed but I'll take it

Just spam every button on the computer. I played this on my phone, so it was easy to guess

I think the best way I got recommended a game without spoilers was DDLC actually, through Game Theory's first video on it. I can't remember exactly how they did it, but it was along the lines "this game is really good, there is so much to talk about it, but it is better experienced blind". And I decided to go play that game and take it seriously. I don't think I would have gotten into it without that, nor would I had experienced it this way. Those hidden gems that you can't recommend, I think you should just say "there is more to it than what meets the eyes". And if you get recommended such a thing, take the game seriously. The issue is... that sounds like a cheatcode to recommend dogshit games too. It is a bit of the game's job to hint at its deepness or the fact that there is gonna be a big turnabout at some point. DDLC did this with their content warning anouncement. Until you are met with such content, you know you are not seeing the whole picture. ISAT did it with its intro scene. Until you know what that scene represents, you know there is something pivotal you have not understood yet. Those things do not spoil anything of the game. It is just a thought that lingers in your mind "...wait why was there this in the beginning then". Again, that could be a cheatcode for dogshit games. A weird thingy in the beginning that is never explained leads you to get engaged for nothing? Very bad. But the combo of the two - a weird hint that takes ages to make sense, and a friend that tells you this game is a gem - looks very promising to me. ;)

Sonic 3 my beloved

No

:D

Fantastic channel here I subscribed and gave it a full watch. Keep up the good work lets see you hit 100 subs.

Then GV 3 came our and pointed a middle finger to GV 1 and 2

Nice video. Though I wanna say, maybe you should try going for ranks at some point. Soooo I’m kinda the resident score attacking nerd lol. I’m kinda biased. But still, when analyzing and criticizing the series, I think it’s very important to look at it through the lens of score attacking. For example, Gunvolt 3’s development woes are largely because they couldn’t find a way to make melee gameplay truly interesting to score. Or how iX2 warped itself around the Razor Wheel and virtually every change was to prop it up for scoring. I’ll also say, longer time fans are gravitating away from iX 1 for a variety of reasons. A big reason is again scoring, partly because Copen is a very shallow scoring character, but also because Copen had the most scoring depth in Gunvolt 2. I could go on for a while so I’ll just stop here. 😅 I don’t wanna just tell people what to think, yaknow? Just thought you could use a little crash course on it if you’re gonna keep making GV videos.

Nice video! Glad to know you liked both GV1 and iX1, that's pretty much how people, including myself, get into GV, they get hooked on by 'Megaman spiritual successor' and then stay because of its unique features, I'll say i do miss the variety in gimmicks central to advancing stages using GV's Septima in future games, will definitely stick around for more videos! (Btw just a little nitpick, "iX" is pronounced as 'icks' not 'ai ecks'

It's true that Sonic 06 erased itself from the timeline, but it that doesn't mean it didn't "happen". I kinda see it like you making a notepad file, and then you drop it in the recycle bin. Yeah, the notepad is *"deleted", but that doesn't mean it "never" existed in the first place. And with White Space essentially being like the recycle bin of time, Crisis City and now Kingdom Valley are still accessible because it still exists, albeit in an erased timeline. Even in Sonic Generations, talking to Blaze has her comment that there's something weirdly familiar about Crisis City. None of the characters "remember" Sonic 06 because its events were *erased*, but it still "happened". Either way, very much looking forward to both the next animation and the game itself!

Tips on how i can get the emereals 😢
