[@DWS2020]

I love Sonic, so glad to hear your review. Thank you, I've been waiting to watch this. Sonic Superstars and Mario RPG are my next big purchases. It looks like a fun good time from what I know from classic Sonic. 😊

[@dapenz]

Truth is RGT is a corporate shill. Game is slow and not very good. Give him a sponsor and he sells out. Great music. Game does support a decent replay ability. Just boring

[@SRF_1031]

Just wanna search for emeralds with Knuckles. Just want SADX & SA2 on Switch!!!

[@kenterminateddq5311]

Shawn, did you play the Switch version? I heard it's not as good as the home console versions but at least it's not Mortal Kombat 1 on Switch bad.

[@jacobcordell2882]

In all seriousness since you're communicating with part of the Sega team good you please ask them what's taking so long to release the Dreamcast 2❤

LOVE this game! They’ve nailed exactly what I wanted from a modern 2D Sonic game. Biggest wish for me is a future DLC Music pack of alternate stage music

This takes me back to the good old days with Sonic the Hedgehog on the Sega Master System, and also Sonic 2 on the Master System as well. SO HAPPY that we've now got a successor to those good old games. I think it's fair to say that we've been crying out for another 2D Sonic game for ages, and now here it is. Bought it 2 days ago, and absolutely LOVE IT.

[@JJ_TheGreat]

My favorite was always Sonic 3 & Knuckles! I remember being a Genesis with our van as a family - and it came with Sonic & Knuckles. Eventually, we got all the Sonic games and I found how Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles paired together as one game - with the Sonic 3 levels first and then continued with the Sonic & Knuckles levels - and I always liked playing as Knuckles (even regular S&K) because of his climbing ability.

[@darrendyson8347]

Supposedly 2.5D sir lmao. I guess that's accurate for the switch version. Got it for the switch lite and it runs pretty well and solid frame rate is dope. Feels like a little bit better version of a Sonic version of Mario u deluxe which I had calculated would be the case. I don't see how anyone could own this one PlayStation even though it looks better because Sonic in this form is a must on the go.

[@Ryanc33]

I’m so glad there are at least some people like yourself giving this game the praise it deserves. I am just an hour in and so far no complaints! I agree with everything you said and I think the IGN review is such a joke, it’s laughable.

[@tbonetone5263]

Thank you! That IGN review was awful. Not because of the rating of the game, but how they spoke about the game. You can tell the person has little experience with the original Sonic games. They don’t understand the basic structures and fundamentals of the game.

[@rr122608]

This Sonic game will for sure be purchased. It takes me back to when my mom bought me a Sega Genesis console with the Sonic 1/2 games. ❤️ I really loved Sonic Adventures 1 and 2 on the Dreamcast. I really wished they would have made Sonic Adventures 3.

[@ryanpierce5460]

I got it digitally on October 17th and played it at midnight. Good solid game.

[@patriziaperu]

i hate you accept if this is a joke@@MonsterfromHell2543

[@DrDoom-bl1sk]

Your review has me excited. Some of my earliest gaming memories are of Sonic 2 (and yes, Chemical Plant Zone is one of the greatest video game tracks ever). I never really liked 3D Sonic, so another excellent 2D version is exactly what I wanted. Thank you for all of the info!

[@garrettjones8448]

Flying Battery Zone and the OG Ice Cap Zone themes are number two and three of my top Sonic tracks respectively after Chemical Plant.

[@magvs_maestro216]

This actually looks like a sonic that I can endorse. Haven been excited for a sonic game, since the 90's, with the sonic & knuckles /sonic 3 adapter.....almost 30 years ago lol. I HAVE TO PLAY THIS!!!

[@Rossbrian1]

It looks stunning, i might just have to pick it up after mario wonder

[@misterlexx2721]

Smart decision. As a multi platform game, Sonic Superstars like all multi platform games will likely go on sale sooner. First party Nintendo games' prices remain in the $ 50 plus region for very long until a new sequel comes out.

[@patriziaperu]

okey stop now bot@@MonsterfromHell2543

[@caderik1386]

Great review - glad I pre-ordered it! Your review is helpful before jumping in the game to know what to look for. Just started the first act and they just throw you there but after playing the act couple times, you can see that there is a lot of hidden stuff

[@teknastyk]

what i like in sonic games vs other platformers was that it was always a bit different.. i remember sliding those halfpipes on a borrowed master system back in mid 90s and thinking wow, this is different. game was just silly fast paced for its time and not something i was used to coming from pc titles. this will be a nice throw back.

[@KeliJust]

Great review RGT. Thanks man. Picking this one up for my 10yr olds birthday this week. He and his brothers are stoked for the multiplayer.

[@TheDahveeed]

This looks like the exact sonic game we've been missing. The way Sonic Mania was. But I love the art style here. This was the perfect way to go classic and modern.

[@NewDawnFadesX]

I’m definitely getting this. Love 2D Sonic games.

[@yrysroda8592]

Sonic 1 was the first videogame I played at 6 years old, love the old 2D ones. Only had time to play the first level so far due to MMO commitments but so far it seems like the game we wanted for decades :)

This shows that Arzest can make a solid game! I'm really happy that Naoto Ohshima is back in the Sonic series, but I would like for Sega to make a new Modern 2-D game in the style of the Advance series in the future! I'm excited to play Sonic Superstars, and I'm very happy to see Sonic in a good place!

[@Chougui412]

​@@MonsterfromHell2543you like attention tho

[@ricosimon1057]

Ignore The Haters, I’m buying this game after ray’z arcade chronology.

[@ThatsJustLikeYourOpinionMan]

I'm not a hater. I'm a huge Sonic fan. For 30 years. I grew up with the Genesis. This game is a major step backwards in basically every way to Mania.

[@Flamestar320]

@ThatsJustLikeYourOpinionMan I respectfully disagree. I'm having a lot of fun exploring through the levels with the multiple pathways that they have. I like the game's art style, the character animation is really good, and I really feel like they nailed the controls. It honestly feels just as nice to move around in Superstars as it does in Mania! However, the things I don't really like about it are that I feel that the medals could've been used for more things outside of multiplayer. The stuff in the digital deluxe version should've been available in the base game as unlockables. The concept art and character skins could've given more ways to use the medals, and the sound test could be unlocked through playing the game instead of making us pay more money. The game is already $60. Another thing I don't like is the inconsistent soundtrack. I love Jun Senoue's music in the 3-D games, but he really should sit out on the 2-D games because, oh man, his contributions are really bland when he's on his own in this game. I really don't understand why he feels the need to restrict himself with Genesis-style instrumentation in the 2-D games, and the main boss themes are some of the most uninteresting tunes I've ever heard in a Sonic game with how repetitive they are. It's a darn shame because a lot of the music outside of it is still some great stuff. Heck, even when Jun collaborates with Tee Lopes and brings out his guitar, it sounds much better! I'm having a lot of fun playing Sonic Superstars, and in my personal opinion, it's a solid, good game. But I do admit it has a few decently sized flaws that bring the experience down a bit for me.

[@ohgodwhy6640]

I’d probably consider it the worst 2d sonic game by far. It’s just way too unremarkable and unoriginal to be even worth $10. Too many bugs, ugly visuals, slow gameplay, and those bosses…

[@ViceRidden]

I haven't payed a sonic game since the Sega Genesis but I always loved Sonic himself. He's adorable.

[@Tom-yz3op]

It's nice to see a Nintendo youtuber talking about a Sega game

[@zerastardust1712]

Ironic that Amy is the easy character. In Sonic Advance she was the hard character. She had some extra reach and moment options, but she paid for it by having manual attacks and no spin dash.

[@zusk8556]

Yeah Amy is usually the hard mode, even in most rom hacks. Same with Ray

[@damientaylor7480]

She wasn't as difficult to use in Sonic Advance 2 but she was still harder than Sonic to use because she didn't have his jumping airdash. Cream was the easy character though, like insanely easy haha

Two things I want to know before picking up this game: 1. Do we have playable super sonic, or do the emeralds just give the emerald powers? 2. Is there a site that shows the skins that will be available? More than happy to shell out 5 bucks to play with a Metal Sonic skin.

Then the master system 2 arrived with sonic the hedgehog built into the system, followed up with Sonic 2 and sonic chaos then I got the sega mega drive (UK) with sonic the hedgehog 1 2 sonic pinball and sonic 3 followed by sonic and knuckles. Also had the Sega game gear with sonic triple threat ,sonic 1& 2 . Back when the Sega/Nintendo wars were all we had haha

I don't usually pre-order games but I did for Sanic!

[@jnog_me]

This game is stunning. My only issue is how different sonic feels in regards to movement. Everything feels support laggy. I set controller sensitivity in game settings to 10 and it just doesn’t quite feel right for some reason. Getting used to it but just off. :/

[@jnog_me]

I ended up returning it. Microsoft gave me a full refund which was appreciated! I just couldn’t get passed how the characters handled picking up speed and even jumping felt delayed. Beautiful game though and I did like the level design from what I played.

Graphically switch is probably/most likely worse, but from what footage I’ve seen it isn’t terrible, also performance wise it looks to be about the same I think (though it’s been a while since I’ve seen gameplay)

[@megaman3433]

The performance from what I seen on switch looks pretty much the same as the PS5/Xbox ver as well as the graphics. The only difference graphically is that the switch ver looks slightly less detailed, but overall looks pretty decent compared to it's pS5 and Xbox counterpart

[@fillerbunnyninjashark271]

It's not 60 fps locked on switch and running sub hd resolution

[@iamkakashi20]

i love this game. and i was serprised it works perfect with the original nintendo gamecube controller on my gamecube adaptor. i was useing switch pro controller at 1st because i was thinking your gonna need to use ZL and ZR and click in stick or minus button. and when i checked the controllers. they were perfect none of them need thos buttons at all. its just like your clasic sonic game with just jump A or B and X for ablitys and C stick to change what u wanna use and L and R to turn it off. so yup all the controlls and buttons are there for a original gamecube controller. i give it a 8 out of 10 for me. the last boss was hard but onces you know how it fights it gets easyer. its just a long fight. so just stay cool and you will beat this game boss fight. that was my mistake why i was stuck on the final boss i keeped rushing to much. so i just stayed cool and take my time and i won.
