[@watershipup7101]

Very true.

[@rainpooper7088]

Maybe in terms of how many glitches there are, but in terms of ambition? At least Rise of Lyric was trying to be something new and distinct from the main version and may have been actually interesting if it didn't get merged with the Boom brand and forced on the WiiU whereas the 3DS games were just more of the same 2010s Sonic trot, down to hiring Pontaff to write the story. People like to trash RoL for the state it was released in, but honestly, out of everything the Boom brand brought us, Rise of Lyric is probably the one I respect the most. Even though all potential was squandered beyond belief, at least there was an aspiration to do something new and interesting with Sonic there.

[@waterbullstudios9195]

They're definitely more playable.

[@nicksorenson940]

Given the options for 3DS exclusives at the time I would still play Generations over any of the others, cause I knew how infamously bad the Lost World special stages were supposed to be with its gyro controls and I was never a fan of the whole Boom imagining of the franchise to begin with. Aside from that there was still the older Game Gear games that were downloadable through Nintendo eShop and those 3D ports of Sonic 1 & 2 from Genesis. Or just playing any of the older DS Sonic games on 3DS through its backwards compatibility.

[@mistermonsterguy3281]

That’s not saying much

[@justsomesimplenuclearbirbs4313]

Both Generations and Lost World 3DS were games I grew up with. Heck, Generations 3DS was the first game I got for the system because I was intrigued by the games the Blue Blur had on Wii and I need *something* to play for my new handheld even though I probably should've gotten one of the more meatier games available at the time if I was actually interested. Of course being a naive kid at the time, I wasn't aware that the levels came from other titles in Sonic's history and thought they were completely original to Generations 3DS, same for the music. Even after beating the game younger me *still* wasn't fully convinced somehow. Of course the main challenge for both Generations and Lost World 3DS come from the S Ranks. For Generations 3DS instead of the piss easy ranking system seen in the Console/PC version, Generations 3DS harkens back to the older entries like Adventure 2 or the HD version of Unleashed with S Ranks that require a mix between perfection and getting the fastest time possible. This goes double for Lost World 3DS which *really* requires perfection. Especially in the unlockable Hard Mode stages exclusive to Lost World 3DS where that are only 26 Rings throughout the each stage. That being five 5-Rings (which are in the same positions as the Red Star Rings in the normal stages) and the single Ring you start with even after dying.

Not gonna lie, I really love Sonic's Air Dash ability from the Boom 3DS games. I feel like that move would be awesome if it were incorporated into some Rush style gameplay and carried some momentum. It feels like a more powerful version of the directional air boosts those games used.

[@sonicboy678]

Sonic handles _really_ well in Fire & Ice, at least as long as you're just doing sidescrolling through a level that requires no switching. After him, Knuckles handles pretty well. Everyone else just breaks the flow with little provocation.

I think Fire & Ice gets to be really fun after the tutorial levels are over and you can start to just use Sonic's air dash at any point where it might be helpful. Sure, there's silly automated speed sections between the platforming parts, but the platforming parts can be just as fast if you take advantage of the air dash.

[@phil2160]

[@AquaBlueTea]

Yeah… I’m completely against this video lol. Lost world and Gens 3DS were really fun to me. I’d go as far to say I enjoyed Gens 3DS more than the console ver which even now, I have yet to finish playing through it because of how much i don’t really like it. I 100% 3DS Gens and I started working on 100%ing the console ver maybe like 2 years ago but I’ve put it off for so long just because there’s just too many things in the console ver that pisses me off. Just a few things that annoy me with console Gens: Button latency, the English voice cast, Classic Sonic, the story (omg I hate the story so much), uninspired/boring stage progression, the most mind numbing side missions in a Sonic game, etc. Now with Lost World 3DS, I absolutely loved speed running some of the stages in that ver. I really enjoyed my time playing it. My only issue with it that I have was the special stages, other than that Lost World 3DS was super fun for me. Just for the record, I never grew up with these games. My first time playing Gens 3DS was in 2020 and my first time playing Lost World 3DS was I think 2016 Lastly for the Boom games, I haven’t played them yet so I don’t have any opinions on them. This video kinda just sounds like you simply didn’t like the games and that’s ok. I just don’t agree with completely writing these games of as “bad” just because YOU didn’t enjoy them

sonic generations for the 3ds was pretty good it has its flaws but it a fun little game I know I had fun when I was younger.

Honestly they shouldve definitely went in for the handheld levels. Classic Era- Sonic 1 and 2 for Game Gear, Sonic Chaos and Triple Trouble, Sonic Blast. Dreamcast Era- Sonic Advance 1 2 3. Modern Era- Sonic Rush and Rush Adventure, Colors 3DS, and maybe Rivals 1 and 2 just for a longer game 😅 Silver Sonic (Game Gear) and/or Fang wouldve been great for a classic era rival(s) Emerl and/or Gemerl would've been great. And finally Blaze and/Silver (Sonic Rivals setting) wouldve been neat. It just seemed like they "quarter ass" did it. Yeah each era wouldnt have 3 stages an era but who cares. Longer game with these levels wouldve still been massively appreciated imo

[@Bigger-smoke45]

[@KOTSOSMC2002]

While I find Shattered Crystal aggressively mid I REALLY like the other 3.

[@thiagoaraujos]

Só exaggerated. Generations on 3DS is pretty fun (especially getting the S ranks) and the 2.5D graphics are super impressive for the console.

[@ThePreciseClimber]

4:55 Come to think of it, Colours should've had Unleashed-style hub worlds. Even if they were small, flat areas like the Eggmanland hub world (with level gates and NPCs in the same area), it still would've given the game a bit more life. They didn't even have to spend a fortune of the cutscenes, most of the dialogue could've been conveyed through text boxes like the ones in Colours DS. Just with 3D models instead of flat JPEGs. Preferably with Sonic also getting dialogue so the NPCs wouldn't end up monologuing. Could've even had random encounters with Orbot & Cubot, like how you would encounter Wentos in Unleashed.

[@TeruteruBozusama]

I haven't played many of the Sonic games yet. But I remember everyone being disappointed by the Boom games. But I have 1 good irl memory of them. So I was at a Gamestop, and there was an elderly lady there buying a 3DS because she wanted to improve her reflexes, so the cashier recommended Fire & Ice to her, which will forever be a sweet memory to me.

[@lucariomew365]

When it comes to Generations on the 3DS, I would have loved to see more handheld stages and the return of Sonic Rush's trick mechanics. Regarding Lost World, I understand the argument that it's a portable game, so it makes sense to play all parts of it while on the go. Yes special stages in Lost World 3DS require gyro mechanics and movement, which can be seen as an inconvenience. However, many handheld games have unique mechanics that can't be replicated in other settings. The game clearly warns players that these stages require an open space for gyro controls and movement. It's a bit odd to criticize this feature because you don't have to engage in those stages while on a bus or train. You can simply wait and enjoy other aspects of the game. Consider the versus mode, for example; it's understood that you need Wi-Fi to connect to the internet and find matches, so you wouldn't be upset if you couldn't play it on a train or bus. So, why treat gyro controls in the special stages any differently? It's like getting frustrated with a feature for the sake of being frustrated. Furthermore, it's enjoyable to unlock Super Sonic before completing the game and using him against the final boss, something that can't be done in the console version. Despite some finicky controls in the 3DS at least, the 3DS version makes a more concerted effort, and once you understand the patterns, it becomes quite manageable. In contrast, the console version's bosses are notably easy and lack depth in gameplay. They are objectively worse in every way except polygon and pixel count and are some of the easiest bosses in any post-Adventure (non-spin off) 3D sonic game. I just don't get how anyone can defend those trash fights. Like I agree with some of the complaints but they just aren't that bad.

Ngl I gotta disagree with you on this one. I enjoyed some of the 3DS Sonic games. Especially Generations and Lost World. I personally find the Lost World version on the 3DS better tbh. I just personally found the gameplay more fun and original compared to the Wii U. Not to mention the boss fights are more original and creative

[@battlefontmatter1161]

Congrats on 200k subs, J, I love your content.

[@fillintheblank9378]

btw. u dont get homing attack for classic in console gens for getting ALL RSR's, only the ones in Planet Wisp Act 1.

[@LaySuperMarioLover]

I think it's really funny how in Lost World 3DS the signature rings you collect aren't even 3D models, they're heavily-compressed looping PNG's plastered all over the levels, which doesn't do the already not good 3DS version any favors.

[@mredbadger]

Which is a thing you will only notice playing on an emulator

[@IntrestingYTObserver]

I heartily disagree. Gens 3DS is OK, and would have been "great" if dimps had more time to develop it. and Lost World 3DS is unironically one of my favourite sonic games. The best spin dash of any 3D sonic game, broken sequence breaks, fluid and versatile parkour amazing super sonic, actually good and strategic 2D sections.. Yeah a 3rd of the game is.. utterly bizarre puzzle stages that take 20 minute, but the core 3D and 2D stages are incredible. It was actually directed by Sonic Unleashed Wii's director, and Dimps clearly learned a LOT from that game. Commentors, give Lost World 3DS another chance, once you understand the controls you can tear through levels

[@zernek9199]

I'll say it I really liked 3DS Lost World. It's better than the Wii U version and I had so much fun with it

[@KMog-py7co]

​@@jaretco6423Did you know that something called an opinion exists?

[@protocetid]

someone is actually porting Unleashed to the 3DS, don't know if they'll do the entire game

[@MatthewCobalt]

I find it ironic that when you mentioned "every Playstation console", you literally left out their only successful Portable console from the compilation of game covers.

[@deadweight4887]

Hey J, are you going to review Mega Man X Dive Offline? The game seems much more enjoyable now that it has proper progression.

[@jaredmorales5130]

Generations 3ds has the superior version of the final boss. Nuff said.

[@acejumper1681]

Generations seems to be the best 3ds sonic game. Lost world on 3ds along with both boom games don't seem to be worthwhile games in the franchise, and I say that as a huge fan of every era of the franchise.

[@Ericss2009]

Generations for 3DS is perfectly good your whiner. Not that I'd expect a reasonable opinion from someone who claims that the fan remake of Sonic 06 is the best Sonic game ever.

[@DaL1tleGr4vy-prod]

Honestly I love dimps. The only thing bad is the level design in my opinion. I have beat every dimps sonic game... except for sonic 4 fuck that

[@Tyedyeninja04productions]

47:48 I guess you could say that shattered crystal is a guilty pleasure ‘cause i really like the game. I love the story, the cutscenes and the levels were just really fun. I blasted through game so quick though that it felt too short so I wish it was longer. You think it’s a long game?! Have you played Heroes?! Those levels take like 13 minutes to complete! Way too long. And I really like the show. I thought it was just a fun and good show like amazing world of gumball and stuff, and I hate it got canceled.

[@supermaximglitchy1]

i just came up with 2 sonic boom game ideas that would have probably saved the side serie Sonic boom: eggmania. The gameplay would be similar to that of rise of lyric but more finished. The main threat is simply eggman so it’s basically the show but playable. All (eggman)robots that appear in the show will also make an appearance. Second one is Sonic boom: metal supreme. The new threat is a robot from the future that looks like mecha sonic but darker. It works with eggman and combines with his robots to make them stronger. The final encounter is between sonic and metal supreme where sonic makes a sonic boom and gets super charged (with blue eyes) to make a chance at destroying metal supreme. After the fight metal supreme simply fades away after sending one last message.

[@dsdude8441]

It could be argued that generations 3ds is good, but even so, it's one good game at best.

[@crimsonslayer6641]

I personally had a fine time with fire and ice, the only decent sonic boom title to me🙂

[@jaysaiyajoestar1220]

I wish you can make some Mega Man Zero/ZX Series 5 Years Later Reviews someday soon. They really deserves a revisit, not to mention ZX and ZX Advent for Real this time.

[@Beamo1080]

You forgot the 3D remaster of Sonic 2. That was pretty good.

[@funcoolfunfun]

I'd argue that Fire and Ice is good, and Generations 3DS is at least decent

[@RSTLegacy]

I have to disagree with gens 3DS being a bad game, i actually like that one, it's not as great as the console one but i still find it enjoyable, it also featured online multiplayer so that was a fun time too (altho i wish the other player wasn't just a light), it also made the heroes special stages and sonic gens final boss playable so that's good i think, while i understand some of your points i don't think any issue with the game is big enough to make it bad (i hate it's raidcal highway version tho) i also disagree with emerald coast being a worse choice than speed highway cuz, even if i like speed highway, console gens has like 4 city levels, we didn't need that much of those. Lost world 3ds i remember enjoying it back on 2013, i would probably think lower of it nowadays giving how even back then i hated some of the levels, but i do think some levels were actually good, like the entirety of windy hill zone and most zones 3D linear Stage and some zones 2D stage.. just the exploration ones really suck, so i think the good zones should have just been separated into different acts rather than overdoing it, i also feel one highlight is the parkour which is very easy to use here and is actually insane for speedrunning, combined with super sonic who is the best reward for the worst part of the game, it is truly op with his really high jump and amazing speed, also i do find the bosses to be "ok" i didn't really have any trouble ever fighting them and at least put up a fight unlike the wii u ones, specially the final boss i think is much better, even more in his hard version on the post game. Shattered crystal is very mid. Fire & Ice i think it's ok, it's not mediocre or anything i think it's quite good, it just doesn't outstand that much, the fire & ice it''s pretty basic which was underwhelming but it at least adds a reaction factor, it also features actual boss fights which is something that was entirely missing from the past one

[@losisansgaming2628]

11:01 you unlock the homing attack by getting all red rings in planet wisp act 1

[@mikeythompson]

I loved sonic lost world on the Wii U

[@taecampus]

I think he's just talking about the 3DS games mate 😅

[@mikeythompson]

@@taecampus I know I was just saying

[@taecampus]

@@mikeythompson well, shame. Shame on you for doing that 😕 Joking lol

[@raelogan]

Sonic Lost World 3DS is like the worst Sonic handheld game to play anywhere that requires stationary sitting. Because those special stages required me to clear out the space in the kitchen and walking around in circles while using my whole body to tilt and turn the gyro because there is absolutely no way to do that while sitting on the couch, like, at all. And I have dexterity issues, so the fact that I can't switch to an alternate control scheme is a terrible choice of design. I cried when I finally unlocked Super Sonic because it makes the game way too easy after all that. I have an old model 3DS and New Nintendo 3DS, so it's not a system model issue. 😑

[@mredbadger]

To be honest, the reputation Dimps has with sonic fans is fully unearned. All of their solo games range from decent to the best in the series, but people seem to have latched onto the console tie-ins they had to throw together in a matter of months, and the mobile game that was hastily converted into a sequel to the series’ best game It would’ve been great if Dimps continued making dedicated handheld Sonics on 3DS but I guess there was more money in ‘lesser’ versions of the main games (well, barring colours DS which is the better game)

[@dr.sabertooth3025]

It genuinely baffels me that sega fumbled when it came to sonic on 3DS How did we go from the rush games and colors ds to whatever the hell generations and lost world 3ds were

[@normalgraham]

Goddamn Sonic Boom sucked, but Sticks is such a great character that I'm literally not even mad about it

[@HazeX2]

Generations and Lost World were good, with the latter being better than the console version The Boom games were alright too

[@1dayago843]

I would be so down with a Sonic Generations 3DS Community Edition that uses those poll results that just a modded version of the PC version but takes out the 3D sections of Modern Sonic to be more authentic to the 3DS version

[@arbi9506]

It's really funny to me how half the comments are just filled with nostalgic 3DS owners saying that a worse version of fucking Sonic Lost World is overhated

[@SuperStaticPro]

[@juliannocartagena2007]

Lost World 3DS is over-hated. That’s I wanted to say.
