Do I like Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games for the 3DS or is It wasted potential? The latter. Is the sequel, Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games an improvement? The Wii U version, no! But the 3DS version, mostly. Do I love the 3DS version of Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing Transformed (as much as the versions on the PS3, X360, Wii U (a greater launch title for the console than New Super Mario Bros. U), PS Vita, Microsoft Windows and Android?)? No, but it’s decent. Do I like Sonic Generations (3DS/seventh-gen home consoles)? Yes, but not extremely. Do I dislike Sonic Lost World (both versions)? Yes, especially because of the story being very immature and mean-spirited because of characters like the whiny brat Tails and female stereotype Zeena whom come to think of it have similar eyes that make them look partially alike (if Amy Rose fans/SonAmy shippers want to say that if Amy is a stalker to Sonic then so is Tails, then they could damn well refer to THIS version, not the Sonic Adventure series & Classic Tails!), yet there’s worse! Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal? Not really, but then again, it’s at least better than Rise of Lyric. Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice? Same as SG.

Yeah...3DS wasn't kind to Sonic. I kinda like Lost World 3DS to some degree but everything here is just plain lacking compared to the past handheld generations. Genrations 3DS has extremely dull level design and is a watered down rush game. Lost World is better but it has a lot of weird and frustrating difficulty spikes, and the 2 Boom Games are barely Sonic games, not bad but they just feel like pretty standard platformers aimed more primarily at younger children than the rest of the series. They have a weird licensed feel due to the connection to the cartoon.

[@ctpp64]

Yeah gens 3ds was very rushed apparently which is why the gameplay's so hold right to win. Shame since a 3ds sonic game could've been really cool with the 3d effect but they just never really made a good Sonic game on it lol. Sonic was way better on ds

Sonic Boom is such a sad case, because from what I remember hearing, the devs really wanted to make something good, but SEGA, in all their wisdom, did everything in their power to ruin it. Watch the "what happened" on it. It's depressing, though it could have turned out terribly regardless, it never even had a chance to be good. Sonic '06 was indicative of a problem over at SEGA regarding Sonic. It has been a while since Boom, and Forces wasn't god awful, so maybe things will start to turn around... But even if the next game is good, it can always take a nose-dive once again, just like it always has. SEGA ruined my faith in Sonic sad to say.

[@0xEARTH]

Forces, to me, was lackluster and meh at best. the story was... well, what even? you get a minute-long cutscene, and then a black screen with white text saying "oh yeah lol sonic got his ass kicked and locked away". it was WAY too reliant on that double-boost mechanic later on, and at least on the Switch, the controls seemed way too clunky and sometimes borderline unresponsive to me. and the Avatar stages were also weird, they wanted way too badly to be their own thing but couldn't bring themselves to capitalize on it. all honesty, it just kinda seems like a waste.

[@agentdorito8511]

Sonic Frontiers has been revealed recently, and so far it looks promising. Hoping for a good game 🤞

[@MythicMachina]

One thing I will give to Generations 3DS is that Time Eater was a pretty cool fight in that. In that fight, you swap between Classic Sonic dodging projectiles on a 2d plane, and Modern Sonic having to reach Time Eater in a 3D plane. It's a cool way to have both Sonics in the fight, and it's the one thing that is better than the console versions.

Great video! Sonic Lost World on the 3DS is a guilty pleasure of mine simply because it let's you actually use its mechanics!! Ever since I heard of lost world, I was really enthralled and excited that we got a platformer with parkour mechanics since they seem to be made for each other only to be disappointed by the WiiU version because of all the Sonic games, that one is the epitome of playing it self Seriously, there are SO many springs!! Lost World 3DS is far from perfect, but it definitely feels like every level puts the onus on the player, and it sees its level themes, whether they were gimmicky or not, through to the end Which means when it has a parkour-centric level it REALLY goes in it!! Seriously, Level 3 of the Sky World is sooooo good I'm ashamed to say I completed the games hard mode with the exception of the final boss...

I love Generations 3DS and really enjoy Boom: Fire and Ice

[@Nic5Cyprus]

Sonic Generations 3ds is imo the best Sonic 3ds game and that's saying a lot since it's really short and bare bones, compared to the DS games. The second best, I'd say is Sonic Boom Fire and Ice. Honestly if it was the only Sonic boom game the side series wouldn't be the garbage fire it became

[@theirishpotato6588]

I agree

[@PupRiku]

I quite like Racing Transformed on 3DS. It's my favourite racing game on PS3, but I used to love playing the 3DS version on breaks at work.

[@dylanmiller3378]

You can actually use the homing attack on console Generations - you just need to get all five red star rings on Classic Sonic's Planet Wisp stage and you can get it as a skill

[@aionicthunder]

Which is Classic Sonic's final stage. I suppose you could use it in the challenge missions (unless you can't use skills in those; I don't remember because I haven't touched them in years), but Antdude did say you had to beat the game before you got it. It'd be like if, theoretically, you got Super Sonic at the end of the final standard level of the game and could therefore only use it in the extra boss that requires it anyway and when you go back to play old levels with that save file

Oh my god, I rewatched this video and just noticed your shirt! I love Rythem Heaven! 🤩

[@LinkDawnbringer]

Man why is everybody so mean to Chronicles, I freaking loved that game.

[@edwardrobinson5470]

I like the game a bit. Some might find it boring compared to other Rpgs i guess.

[@fireemblemlover0983]

I always found Sonic Chronicles to be one of my favorites, and still is. I remember having so much fun while playing, wish they would change up the system occasionally like this every once in a while

[@beegyosh8262]

3:45 From a person who played the game exclusively on Vita, thanks for pointing us out.

[@marcoacuna1980]

Diego A. Acuña: Anddude: very important Sonic Lore The console version of Sonic Generations: has Sonic fighting Perfect Chaos without his super form.

[@Samevi]

I will say I used to think similarly about Generations 3DS, right up until I attempted to S-Rank the entire game. You have to play the game almost flawlessly, and I love it for that.

"Sure we'll never get to see marine the raccoon again" The sonic idw comics: *puts marine in the latest issues in blaze's world*

[@mr_indie_fan]

Every canon character comes back in the idw comics in the right way, hell mecha knuckles and mecha sonic mk 2 make a return in the upcoming scrapnik island miniseries! (I personally hope tails doll returns, he would fit the creepy/returning robots narrative perfectly)

[@mr_indie_fan]

Blaze, silver, omega, gemerl (and literally every other robot and mech for that matter), marine, etc

[@ChatookaMusic]

I like the idea of classic Sonic learning the homing attack because he learns it in the Dreamcast era so it's like making him into Dreamcast sonic, but classic Sonic plays like a rock in cold molasses in generations 3DS

[@markzach8038]

Probably the only time I've ever been happy to see an ant on my phone.

[@TheeeSogg]

Did you know that sonic has had a rough history after making the jump to 3deez nuts

[@greensterhp]

Sonic Classic Collection is my first Sonic game

[@ssbfan33]

I liked Sonic Generations on the 3DS because I didn't have any of the other consoles it was available on. Plus it didn't end up on the Wii so that is also another reason.

[@NoLieIm51]

Ant dude thank you for all your awesome reviews

[@Elijah_the_weyo_boy]

9:06 Thank you ant dude you almost crushed my childhood P. S Sonic lost world 3ds was my first sonic game

[@carlosgomez-paez1901]

“Why do people watch me?” Never question that! Your videos are awesome. Doubting is never good! I know I will support you for as long as I live!

[@turboshazed7370]

He doesn't think that way i am sure. It's like when someone makes a bad joke and acknowledges it by saying I'll see myself out. lol

[@Spindash54]

Speaking of Big Arms and music, the demo of the game at E3 had a remix of Doomsday Zone’s theme. There’s a video on YT with the song; it slaps really good. Shame it didn’t make it to the soundtrack as a bonus.

[@daffyfable1983]

Silver made a cameo in Rush DS so I thing that racing him in Tropical Resort makes sense. If you're going to complain about how they should have pulled more from Sonic's portable history, you have to actually get the references to Sonic's portable history.

[@pyrofur_nx]

I wish a fully 3D 3DS game wasn't so novel. The focus of the system was to have 3D capabilities, and most of the games for it were 2D when it was *shown* with games like Super Mario 3D Land, Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, and Sonic Lost World that true 3D could work. Just saddens me, really.

[@LittleLexi24]

Sonic Generations 3DS could’ve definitely handled full 3D levels.

[@acronym.4328]

1:14 I noticed he's using the remastered wallpaper made by some guy who also gracefully fully remastered the other 2 games in the trilogy. Nice wallpaper choice, brah
