Why Sonic x Shadow Generations is a GENIUS Idea

[@BlackNerdComedy]

Let me know what you think of these "Just Chatting" type of videos where I just take a random recent subject and ramble my thoughts. I had fun doing this and think I can do more if you're into them. Thanks!

[@TigerClaw305]

did you see that Paramount Plus Superbowl Spot that got released? Knuckles is on it, Which means a trailer for the Knuckles series will be out soon.

[@directorjake]

I kinda love this, please do more, I just like to watch you nerd out over stuff in general.

[@myles7453]

I'm digging it. I'm down for more if you do it.

[@michaelmazzajr6234]

Can wait for this game when I saw it I thought was shadow the hedgehog 2 I play shadow the hedgehog all the time on ps2 along with Sonic heroes I hope remastered version of sonic heroes and shadow the hedgehog this new game is to shadow the hedgehog 2 and yes he carries and used a gun

[@MetalHeadManic612]

Please do more videos like this. I miss my weekly dose of Black Nerd Comedy. If you're not gonna do Black Nerd Rants anymore, this'll be great. You could call it Black Nerd Rambles.

[@FiFiTheFeline]

So... Jason Griffith has been Rumoured to be the VA for Shadow for this and The Sonic 3 Movie which- I'M HOPING FOR 🙏 😅

[@SonofMrPeanut]

I'm imagining the Sonic 3 opening night audience going wild when it opens w/ "City Escape."

[@chibi2239]

Bro, if they are bringing back Black Doom...because he's gonna be in the movie? That'd be INSANE 😀

[@raynacarraway440]

Not only did Shadow have a gun, he also said "damn". Peak mid-2000s edginess right there 😂

[@tanisdaniels]

Where’s that Damn Fourth Chaos Emerald?

[@kcjc]

Damn, not here

[@JoyfulJester6371]

He's like the 1990 TMNT Raphael of sonic lore 😂

[@kingstarscream320]

I hated the edginess as a kid, but as an adult I’ve lightened up and am able to appreciate it more. Sonic with guns? Why not? Pew pew pew.

[@mechaocean170]

Dude as a kid that threw me off so much. I was like "did shadow just curse?" So I purposefully fell off the stage just to hear him cuss again

[@Obi-Wan_Kenobi]

I want nothing more than to see the kids running down the asiles in the theaters while Live and Learn is blasting in Dolby Surround Sound.

[@daniele.h7697]

Oh Shadow didn't just have a gun... He had many guns

[@RisingJay]

even a chao one! lol

[@buzzkilla5640]

I can’t wait for the best Shadow line “where’s that DAMN fourth Chaos Emerald?!”😂

[@Therealones745]

Stfu you’re not funny

[@thepopculturedude1606]

For what makes it better, it’s the fact that this Sonic & Shadow game will be released closely to Sonic Movie 3’s release date. So, I say this is a clever marketing idea for Sega promoting Shadow for the new game. As Paramount will do the same with Shadow for Sonic Movie 3.

[@RedUmbre]

The Tumblr girls are gonna love anything called 'sonic x shadow'

[@stwbmc98]

You say this as if they weren’t aware of it before

[@someguyontheinternet2399]

Tumblr still exists?

[@katarinadreams6955]

Oh my cod

You have NO idea 😅

[@justpinklasagna]

I hope the original Sonic Generations on Steam doesn't get taken down and replaced with this one because there's some great mods with that one.

[@dereknight861]

I don’t care if this is just a tie in for Sonic 3 THEY REFERENCING BLACK DOOM THEY ARE DIGGING DEEEEP I’m just saying if a later trailer shows Mephiles, my heads gonna explode.

[@muanims]

Seems like black doom is the main villain of this story

[@nella544]

Memphis Tennessee

[@immasword]

Gearbox should take notes, we getting a Duke Nukem movie after years of nothing being done with the character save an evercade collection and supposedly still no plans for more games to tie into the movie

[@MarioV7]

6:10 Generations has a feature that lets you play whatever music you unlock in the Extras section on whatever stage you want. Live and Learn is on the list, and I think this feature goes for boss fights too.

[@terrorofdeath3280]

Seems my Sonic hyperfixation kicked in just in time. Generations was such a fun game, I'm excited to play a remaster with new content.

[@JamesLawner]

Technically, Marvel has been making these “Marvel-verse” collected editions that serve as compilations of different comic stories tied to different Marvel characters (e.g. Capt Marvel, Loki, Spider-Gwen, She-Hulk, etc.). DC have also done something similar with new versions of collected editions that have covers based on or inspired by recent DC movies (e.g. WW84, Aquaman, Black Adam, Birds of Prey), as well as one-shot comics or miniseries that directly tie into upcoming movies.

[@InstaMatt64]

Definitely enjoy these just chatting videos. Love hearing your opinions and jokes.

[@BlackNerdComedy]

Glad you like them!

[@tommydiaz-millan2438]

And Jim Carrey coming back as Eggman for Sonic 3.

[@daytonchris8351]

i know shadow the hedgehog isn't liked that much by fans but i actually liked it better than sonic heroes. it was the final game that closed out the sonic adventure arc and we got answers about what happened to shadow at the end of adventure 2 and his origin.

[@DarkHeartTheEmo]

What are you talking about? Most fans like Shadow, to the point they want him in Superstars or have a Classic version of him, idk you tell you that, but that is a false claim.

[@daytonchris8351]

@@DarkHeartTheEmo not the character, i meant his video game for ps2 and gamecube of the same name.

[@littleBIGJohn]

Personally, I actually liked the Shadow the Hedgehog game. I'm so hyped for this Game!

[@daytonchris8351]

@@littleBIGJohn yeah i liked it too. the gameplay wasn't really bad to me and i actually liked the weapons. lol

[@DarkHeartTheEmo]

@@daytonchris8351 Most fans like that one was well, they prefer if they could play as Sonic,, but people are okay with that game, even if sometimes is guilty pleasure.

[@smashbro64]

Feels like they did something similar with the last two movies. After Sonic 1 was released, they made Colors Ultimate to bring in new fans who came from the movie (complete with cosmetics inspired by the movie), and after Sonic 2, they released Origins which retold the stories of classic games including Sonic 2 and 3 & Knuckles (stories that were adapted in the theatrical sequel).

[@KilljoyRPMX]

DO NOT GOOGLE SONIC X SHADOW Y’ALL

[@DoveJS]

Nothin' wrong with that as long as you know what that X normally stands for. ;)

[@Syiepherze]

You can't stop me

[@spikejr3113jr]

Only search it if safe search is turned ON, sonic fans are ew sometimes.

[@whaleping]

DO IT GUYS!!

[@taecampus]

Baaaaaka 😂

[@agentumbra2374]

The way they recreate the original trailer but have Shadow interrupt it is insane.

[@UltraRage86]

Speaking of Shadow the Hedgehog I bought my nephew a Shadow the Hedgehog plushie as a birthday present. Plus is having a Sonic the Hedgehog theme birthday party

[@leonarddugas6055]

Probably in the game they'll have Shadow with guns or driving vehicles

[@UltraRage86]

I never got to finish playing Sonic Generations because I couldn't get a working copy.

[@DanielKariuki-er5gi]

1:06 I want to play it too cause I wonder what it's like because it looks like Shadow is a murderer. I MEAN LOOK AT THIS DID HE JUST KILL SONIC!?!?

[@hyperx5758]

Being a Silver the hedgehog fan is becoming a long rough road now it seems. I shall keep waiting for my boy to get more appreciation in games. The comics are nice but it's starting to seem like thats the only medium that still remembers he is character and not just a cameo. Game looks Dope though. And this video was also very cool. Also very excited to see what they do with this film franchise that suddenly exists. Never saw it coming and its still surreal that we are on movie three with Shadow.

[@ztsquid3000]

This is pretty much Sonic's year when you think about it. 🤔

[@bigjake360t]

Now the last time I checked used copies of Shadow the Hedgehog didn't cost very much.

[@GUNUFofficial]

Not only did they finally go back into shadows story and we might get to see maria get shot for a whopping 5 times as of this year, they did something they should have done in 2011, ADD MORE LEVELS!

[@david2k86]

Having Sonic Generations remastered/expanded is great news so long as it doesn’t have any issues like previous Sonic reissues have had. And yes, Andre, please do more videos where you just chat and go on a tangent about certain things. 😁

[@norfsyq9660]

Blue Beetle actually had comic recommendations for the character in the trailers and promotional stuff

[@JMan1380]

That's why the Mario cartoon worked so well! We had great games on the NES and that. It was perfect. Synergy is a great thing.

[@EthanCrossMedia]

Well, this is sort of like an enchanted and expanded port of Sonic Generations (I played the Nintendo 3DS version back in 2011-2012).

[@MrSofly2010]

Weren’t most of those songs in the original sonic generations?

[@TylerPerry827]

I still can’t believe the Mario movie didn’t also promote a video game DURING the movie’s premiere

[@lykanprince7]

movie/game cross-promotion has been around for a while. Once I saw the trailer for Sonic X Shadow Generations, I was confused as all hell but then realized the Sonic 3 film is coming out this year, it makes perfect sense! However, like anything else, it's good to be weary of whether this remaster will be decent. I'm saying this due to the Sonic Colors remaster, the original Sonic Colors I enjoyed very much, not being up to snuff and having a lot of problems when it came out. I did get Sonic Colors Ultimate and did enjoy my playtime but I can understand the hesitation when it comes to Sega and remasters. Anyway, great vid! Rambling thought vids are cool. I tend to stutter way too much when I try to speak but you've done this for a while so you know what you're doing. Keep up the good work!

[@bj1991-k1q]

Just to clarify, Andre, it's Sonic Cross (X) Shadow Generations, not Sonic x Shadow Generations.

[@nattyice23]

Yooo Black Nerd!!! You just popped up in my recommended. Watched you a ton as a teenager. Hope you’re doing well man and glad to see you’re still going strong! And I agree, Sonic X Shadow Generations is going to kick ass 🔥

[@Chibiknux]

5:52 HOW!? The game islike 3 hours long

[@FirestoneX]

People whose first Sonic game was a 3d Sonic game had a bad childhood

[@joeboosta6309]

I never played the original Sonic Generations game, so this remake will be my first chance and I'm totally convinced to get it when it releases. Of Shadow songs for Sonic 3 (I'm so hyped to watch that movie!) Live and learn is the most important one, because a whole worldwide demand exists online from almost every Sonic fan who enjoys it and knows that it's Sonic Adventure 2's main theme song along with the fact that the third movie will be loosely based on that game. Those people are trying to do what was done to make Paramount change the wierd design they had for Sonic in the first trailer of the first movie, to get that hit song to be in the third one! I'm one of the people who very much enjoys that song and wants it to be in Sonic 3, and no doubt that that studio would definitely get heavily criticized by lots of people if it isn't.

[@kadosho02]

First, Shadow the Hedgehog is a branching path game. Depending on how you clear a level, it opens up another path leading to a unique ending. Second, the soundtrack is amazing, and wild. Third, lots of feels surprisingly. Especially after Sonic Adventure 2. The journey goes through some dark places In regards to Sonic X Shadow Generations: I love it already I even shared some of my favorite music artists that might want to be part of it Fun note: my friends Julien-K were part of the original Shadow the Hedgehog game soundtrack, and worked on Generations (as Circuit Freq). Plus the 2007 Transformers film with "Technical Difficulties". +Collaborated with LP throughout the films.

[@SoranotRoxas]

*It would be hilarious if it turns out that Black Doom is just an aesthetic part of the stage and doesn't talk at all, lol* 😂

[@gerardorodriguez7500]

I wish Sega would make a new Sonic Boom game for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5 and Xbox and they bring back Sonic Boom series with a 3rd Season

[@Jackyboyanimationsofficial]

I’m guessing November 1st release cuz that’s the date the date it released in 2011

[@filipvadas7602]

1. Black Doom coming back is such a deep cut lorewise 2. Really hope this means that this means Mephiles is coming back too. Whether you like it or not, he's vital to Shadow's arc and it would be silly to kind of skip him. 3. There is no way that title was on accident. Sega knows their audience better than they let on lol

[@KennyOmegaTBBM]

I hope the Chaos are in the game

[@songohan5866]

Great video. Hoping the remaster is good.

[@supaserajupiter]

Bow your heads low! All hail Shadow!!! This really is a brilliant idea~! I’m so ready for this game! I love Sonic Generations and the fact that Shadow is gonna be playable makes this amazing game even more perfect!

[@6t76t]

I don't know if the yaoi fangirls will celebrate or rage over this, but I'm totally hype for more Sonic stuff.

[@SoranotRoxas]

*I guess I finally got that Sonic Generations DLC I wanted. It just took 11 years* 😅

[@OnyxRanger09]

Ngl if i hear 'Supporting Me' in sonic generations my hype will explode

[@charliemurphy6457]

I got the Shadow game for PS2...never finished it lol

[@WhyYouWahYoo]

Excuse me while I go on a Scott the Woz-style Game Title rant: This Might legitimately be the worst title for a Sonic game since “Adventure 2 Battle.” Seriously, just call it “Sonic Generations + Shadow” or something, this title is so clunky. “X” usually denotes a big crossover, but Shadow’s a regular character. Even “Sonic + Shadow Generations” would be better, but still not ideal. Making the subtitle “generations” the smallest part of the title means it’s not gonna be clear that it’s even a remaster of an already existing game. Sega, what the hell were you on when you drafted this? Anyway, yeah game looks sick I can’t wait to play it.

[@PrincessDreamActress]

Some of the fans would even be left struck speechless. i know I was when i heard the news via your video; my jaw even fell open. It's actually nice for them to acknowledge Black Doom and have Shadow get his own story again. I wonder what Black Doom and his army will do this time.

[@gabrielmachado1247]

It introduces Shadow To New Fans,gives a Really neat explanation to his backstory,and Prepares us for the Third Movie,this was actually not needed but its Reaaally Great that they did

[@AwsomeGame]

Sonic Generations & Shadow

[@LilMaguizy]

What happened to catching up with Andre not only has he stopped but they’re all gone and what about your other channel Andre where you played Mario u and others

[@Herowebcomics]

Sonic and Shadow are gonna be in a new game together?! Awesome! And Black doom is back?! They may need to get the whole gang back together! He is an Avenger level threat!😮

[@micahcaraballo5917]

Generations is of my all-time favorite Sonic games, so when I first saw the trailer that a remaster is coming this year AND with new Shadow stuff I’m like “Yup, I’m so getting this day one!”

[@RisingJay]

a Sonic Adventure 2 remaster or upscale would've also worked since it's Shadow's origin game, hoping we might see that in the future!

[@JustJulyo]

Black x Nerd never sounded so good

[@rellfacts279]

This trailer dropped during Black History Month, they reintroduce Black Doom and of course Shadow the black hedgehog of the series. 😂😂

[@idontknowwhatimdoing6543]

Me and my little brother played Shadow the Hedgehog so much. Fun little arena shooter for multiplayer and a fun campaign.

[@Ragnar_5522]

I am so excited for this. Sonic Generations was my first 3D/modern Sonic era game. When I was 11, my brother gave me his iPhone 3gs when he got the iPhone 4 and he downloaded the Sonic 1 and 2 ports on there. Those were my first sonic games as I grew up a PlayStation loyalist and I missed the release of Sonic 06 lol. Then I got sonic generations for my birthday when it came out. Thankfully they released the Adventure ports to the PS3 as well so I was able to grow up on those too. Good memories.

[@vinnietheanimationgod8149]

Awesome maybe I'll have to add it to my Christmas list next year Black Nerd Comedy 👍❤️

[@edwincenteno7266]

Im kinda worried if they delist the og version, there are 10+ years worth of sonic mods for it. Also it has the only legal way of listening to Endless posiblities

[@Hammerhead0276]

See the sad part is that afik - everything from Sonic Heroes up to Sonic 06 has never been ported so you'd actually have to get them on original hardware (or emulate them) I genuinely thought Sega was trying to forget that era ever happened so this is a very pleasant surprise

[@Mach_Knight]

im glad i seen this video thru my recommended, it was like a blast from the past. cant lie i forgot you existed, i havent seen one of ur videos since pokemon x and y days. damn near 11 years. (respectfully, and no disrespect)

[@thedinosaurz]

I really like your laugh and your funny I subscribed and I also support the idea of shadow being potentially a villain or end up helping sonic

[@jackofallclaws6672]

This just makes me want to ask one simple question…WHY DIDN’T THEY JUST MAKE A SEQUEL TO SHADOW’S GAME?

[@bananaguy238]

it's also a genius idea for a game so that they can fix all the lore stuff and character building that was ruined by shadow the hedgehog (2005), hopefully they incorporate silver the hedgehog in some way but i don't think they're going to

[@nisaiahcampbell8390]

I've played Sonic Generations, it was the third Sonic game I've played, so exhilarating enough to make me love the Sonic franchise, next to Sonic Adventure 2 battle on GameCube and Sonic heroes (I thinking it's the fourth because I remember playing Sonic Adventure on Dreamcast at my cousin's house but I didn't really noticed at the time)

[@OneRandomVictory]

I better hear "I Am All of Me" as a track in this game.

[@ShinKyuubi]

NGL, I always liked Shadow's hover skates lol, he came out at a time when I was still into roller blades and actually used them, so seeing a hover version? that was pretty sweet, also he's VERY obviously the Vegeta to Sonic's Goku. I played his game when it came out....lord have mercy what a glitchy mess...still cool to see more Chaos powers at his command but...still glitchy and FAR too many branching paths to multiple endings. You literally need a flow chart to tell you how to get to each ending in the most direct way possible.

[@rodger2275]

Great video great idea for a trailer that looks like a great cross promotion. I'm glad that Sega remember to do something with Shadow the Hedgehog in the Sonic Generation remake.

[@torspski4921]

I'm just happy that Shadow is now coming back!! I hope Shadow actually gets a part and that it'd not just dlc and I hope they're enyoybale...Sage is going towards the right direction now Sega give me Silver!

[@Tyulenin]

I wonder if both Sonic Generations are canon, cuz of the time-loopey nature of backwards time travel

[@Tyulenin]

Man, Mania, Generations, xShadow, 06, CD are not making it easy to track the timeline splits of the Sonic universe

[@juwanhoward196]

Can’t wait for this game to come out looking forward to it. Would be awesome if they remastered the shadow the hedgehog (2005) game as a bonus.

[@Rbutler835]

What about "Throw It All Away" from Sonic Adventure 2, or even "This Machine" from Sonic Heroes?

[@miwhitty8316]

I just REALLY hope they do Shadows's character justice in this remaster. He's been either an overly edgy douche, incredibly stoic or overly arrogant. Sonic Prime's Shadow was pretty damn good all things considered. And BRING BACK TEAM DARK! MY MAN HAS FRIENDS, DAMMIT 😂
