Sonic Games That're Trapped On Dead Consoles

[@simtek3475]

Apparently there’s some legal issues with Sonic Pocket Adventure that prevent SEGA from even mentioning the game ever again. Ian Flynn said that he wasn’t allowed to have the game featured in any way shape or form in the Sonic Encyclo-Speed-Ia released in 2021, when literally every other Sonic game ever was mentioned in it.

[@polocatfan]

It's because SNK developed it I'm pretty sure. They might have joint ownership. (Though I don't get why SNK wouldn't work with them on that, it's literally something they get 0 money on if they don't let SEGA use it.)

[@Turbulation1]

There's also the fact Knuckle's theme from Sonic 3 is in the game, might not seem like a big deal, but considering Sega seems to be scared of legal issues with the whole S3 Music Situation which caused them to just replace it with the S&K theme for origins, they would likely take note of this song too. And they could also just simply hire a romhacker to remove/replace the song, like Namco usually does to get around legal issues, but Sega I guess, tries to keep their hands clean?

[@PercyPanleo]

​@@polocatfan It really sucks that they couldn't mention it at all, since it was technically the first Dimps game. I suspect the issue is due to the SNK that made Pocket Adventure and the SNK that exists today being two seperate companies. Back in 2001 SNK went bankrupt and all of their IP was transferred to Playmore (With the CEO and most of the key developers on Pocket Adventure having left a year prior to form Dimps) I think the issue with working with SNK on it may be less because of the game itself and more because of it being released on a Neo Geo console. SNK (Playmore) seems to be very strict with the Neo Geo brand, with, as far as I'm aware, it only being used since 2001 for At-Games style devices, the Wii Virtual Console, Super Smash Brothers Ultimate, and Switch eShop rereleases of MVS games, and the pretty disastrous Neo Geo X (Which actually may be the main source of this apparent strictness)

@@sonc07 At first.... But by the end of '95, all 32-bit systems were the exact same price: 299. The point I was alluding to is that price had absolutely nothing to do with demise of the Saturn. It's a common misconception that people make for some reason, even though there are plenty of instances where the more expensive console outsold its competition. The Jaguar for instance was 149 in '95, did it "kill" the PlayStation, or even the 3DO for that matter? Nope.

[@MattTOB618]

​​​@@Carsonj13 That's because the Atari Jaguar was already out for two years by '95, only ended up having 50 licensed games of VERY mixed quality to its name, and had less overall brand recognition than their competitors, while the recognition they DID have was rather negative (they were the ones who made _E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial,_ the game that almost singlehandedly killed the gaming industry).

Pocket Adventure has a better chance than you might think.

[@LorenzoDoesntExist]

A few notes: Their issue with SegaSonic's trackball is ridiculous. Just map the direct to a joystick and the rolling to a button. The presentation, sound, graphics, and animation are too good to leave out of their catalogue. Fans have warmed up to R as a bridge between Sonic 3D and Sonic Adventure. I know you said that Sonic 3D gets lumped with the other Genesis games, but it's literally a separate listing on Steam right now. R has an old .exe that could easily be patched and put on Steam too. Sonic Battle being left out of the Advance collection would be foolish because Advance 3 continues its Gizaoid storyline. Shadow '05 get references a tonne in other games, so clearly the Sonic Team is aware that it has fans and is proud of it in some regard. Sonic x Shadow Generations will likely remaster some of its stages, so it's not as unlikely as you say for Shadow '05 to be released. The DS is one of the most emulated consoles, so not sure why you think it'd be that complicated for a game developer to port it. Your comments on what fans think of Sonic and the Black Knight are misguided. Most fans actually like it. It's underrated and you should look into it more. By the way, Sonic '06 was already relisted in 2022 in some countries, and a fanmade recreation that fixes its bugs, controls, and physics shows that its level design was always great. Even the original had great concepts, art direction, and music despite early forums hating on it entirely. Dismissing Sonic '06 like this is kinda old.

As a big fan of Sonic R and Shadow the Hedgehog I'd certainly prefer not to forget them. Sonic R is definitely too short and the controls take a little getting used to but those controls definitely aren't bad like the internet mob likes to parrot. It's the only racing game in the franchise that uses the footrace format allowing for more creative track layouts, multiple interwoven pathways like the classic games, and the use of character specific abilities the latter of which didn't make canon sense because Sonic and Metal Sonic are way too fast for any of their competitors but so what, the other classic games and other games since all follow the same gameplay logic. Shadow the Hedgehog is fun. The gunplay works well without complicating the controls and has a decently varied arsenal. The missions certainly range in quality but are also fun regardless, a clear improvement on the Chaotix gameplay from Heroes which was also fun although sometimes tedious. Shadow controls well too: They clearly used Heroes as the base and as a result the top speed is still amped a bit too high with slippery control but this game added a mechanic that stops Shadow dead in his tracks if while running he approaches a ledge and it also slowed him down a little while jumping allowing for more precise landings. They also added the Spindash in place of Heroes' Rocket Accel which is more iconic and has its uses and they also tweaked the homing attack which works really well. Sure the story was more edgy than serious at times but it's an E10+ video game from a franchise that's certainly touched on some serious topics but is generally and at its core a children's cartoon about animal people with powers and magic jewelry so I don't understand why anyone expects a narrative masterpiece. I've never understood why it matters to people if the characters lightly swear or not although I do find it funny that the use of the words "Damn" and "Hell" by a few members of the cast is a common criticism about this game that the internet mob parrots but that same mob (I presume there's significant overlap) praise the Japanese dub of Sonic X in part for it's use of swear words that were all censored out in the English dub. I'd love to see these two games ported to modern hardware perhaps with minor bugfixes, nothing game-changing, although porting as is would be great too. Alternatively or additionally one or both of these getting a sequel, either in a spiritual or literal sense, would also be exciting.

You can emulate all of these nowadays. Yeah I'm gonna be that guy 🙂great vid though.

[@markofthewolvessucks8930]

I don't think you can emulate 06 or Sonic's schoolhouse on Android .

[@JMaster9877]

06 is more likely to be backwards compatible on Xbox then get rereleased

[@markofthewolvessucks8930]

True

[@Artzei]

Heroes and Shadow technically did see re-releases between 2012-2014, albeit those ones sadly were only the PS2 versions released for PS3 as a PS2 Classic. And only in Europe and Japan (especially in the case of Shadow with the latter).

[@BrendanJSmith]

We need a "Sonic Rarities Collection" or something to round up all the forgotten games buried by the sands of time.

[@Entertainmentchaos24]

9:41 meanwhile in 2024...

[@xythrr]

Love that the lowest rated one on the list is the closest one to actually being rereleased. Sonic X Shadow generations is effectively a shadow sequal.

[@One_way_Dream]

9:37 this part aged kinda poorly and I love it sega does NOT want me to forget about the goat🐐

[@richfutrell753]

Don't mix decimals with fractions. Either give a percentage or stick to fractions.

[@billchiper1628]

I am happy that you included Sonic Rush in it because I just finished the whole story of Sonic Rush on my Nintendo DS lite. I got the game and the Ds lite in 2023 summer but I just loved playing that game except some zones that had me killed every time and put me to game over screen. But other than that Sonic Rush soundtrack is so good, the zone music. It's just so good.

[@MarkerMurker]

13:55 Hold on, how are they bad games?

[@soufianegamerpro]

i wish these sonic games gets in future sonic game collections like sonic origins

[@DarkSonic5_OC]

Honestly I feel like the Original Sonic adventure should have been here, I know Sonic Adventure DX exists but I’m pretty sure most of use want to play the original that was only for the Dreamcast

[@lucymorrison]

Black Knight is my favourite Sonic game no question and it pains me that it’s stuck on Wii (Wii U as well with backwards compatibility, that’s how I usually play it, but both of these systems are dead). I would kill for a Switch/PS5 port, seriously!

[@callumsparrow4379]

Sonic Pocket Adventure would’ve been perfect for the 3DS Virtual Console. I remember when NGPC titles were announced for the 3DS VC, but they sadly never came.

[@gjergjaurelius9798]

That person he mentioned on owning a neo Geo pocket color....🙋🏻‍♂️

[@Giggles_iJest]

Hold your tongue over the storybook games. Those were my childhood ✊️😔💯🔥

[@datguy2345]

The sonic rush games are GOATED

[@Sonic171K]

I only like the first one. The waterbike in the sequel was annoyingly STUPID.

[@0Jmpc]

*game

[@nweditor875]

Sonic Advance will never get reralsed in the US, Japan thought it is possible.

[@Mankey619]

So many Sonic games that’ll be forever be trapped into the depths of their own console exclusives for all eternity. It’ll be nice to see them get a re release, if Sega themselves care about them.

[@AleK0451]

usually fan patches being taken down is a sign sega has something in the works and the fact sonic 06 is just out on pc for free with huge updates and hasn't been taken down is proof they are never touching that game again

[@markofthewolvessucks8930]

Yet 06 is on the Xbox store right now lol .

[@AleK0451]

@@markofthewolvessucks8930 in a completely untouched state and it's just been rotting on there for years, this doesn't mean anything

[@gertytk5528]

They will just keep rereleasing the Genesis games till the end of time.

[@Castcoder]

To be fair, Sega technically did re-release Sonic 06 when they randomly re-listed the game a few years ago on the Xbox 360 Marketplace.

[@markofthewolvessucks8930]

Yeah

[@eljaminlatour6633]

Charii5 pointed this out when making his "Everything wrong with Sonic Origins". He noticed that the collection has OST of Knuckles' Chaotix, but not the game itself. It became very hard for him because there were no re-releases for it or modern emulators for it. So, he had to play it with real Sega 32X hardware.

[@nithpro1385]

there are 32x emulators lol

[@yagofazcoisaseuacho8035]

I'm pretty sure most Mega Drive emulators work as 32x emulators, you just need to set a few things up

[@tuluflulu]

Kega fusion can play it with no issues. Though, I'm not sure people even know what that is.

[@zacharygustafson8714]

I played Chaotix on an emulator just fine a few months ago.

[@CucasNerdyCorner]

I know Lost Worlds has a steam release but I would like a console release too haha

[@vegasvanga5442]

Preserving Sega titles is a moot point, because they seem to deliberately turn a blind eye to emulation. They literally allow people to sell ROMhacks on Steam. Sega Smash Pack's code straight up provides instructions on how to illicitly use the emulator to play other Genesis and Master System titles not included in that compilation. Even Kega Fusion was developed by a Sega employee

[@Zejgar]

8:19 Sonic Heroes came out on PC as well.

[@Hutch2Much]

what are you talking about people hate the storybook series? sure, secret rings wasn’t received very well, but black knight’s reception amongst fans is usually mixed at worst, and recently people have praised its story and music

[@xamp_exclammark]

Outside the fanbase though

[@igorpoco2420]

I have 2 Neo Geo Pockets and I can tell you that the joystick is one of the most fantastic things I've ever tried. Sonic Pocket Adventure is mandatory on the system.

[@svcross-do]

I really love that Sonic Game.

[@XyamaProductions]

Even tho Rivals is forgotten they still managed to make a metal sonic 3.0 figure

[@wakuwakusonicpartolcar]

don't forget the only good unmodded version of SA1 stuck on dreamcast
