Description
Edit: I KNOW there is a 3DS version of Generations, and that's cool, but NOT THE SAME. Was the DS version of Colors identical to the Wii version? No.Be warned, the paragraph after the comic description is me standing on a soap box.
Okay, I gotta admit, this comic is a manifestation of my nerd rage, but I always try to channel that kind of thing in a positive way. How can Sonic's 20th anniversary game not get a wii port?! Don't give me the hedgehog engine crap because a very minor graphical downgrade would allow it to run just fine, like Sonic Colors did. Think of this, there have been 11 Sonic games made exclusive for nintendo consoles (not counting re-releases of old games) which include pretty much all of the best reviewed and received. In that time there have been 4 games NOT made for nintendo consoles, the most prominent example being the now infamous "Sonic '06" which was made for Sonic's 15th anniversary. I can't believe Sonic Team would repeat that mistake from 5 years ago. I'm sure generations will be an awesome game, but people who own XBox's and PS3's probably won't be interested in it because they'll have memories of '06 and no particular attachment to Sonic, since it's not an FPS or gritty sandbox crime game. Wow this sounds so much like a fanboy rant, but is it so much to ask that I can count on a series to have all of it's games come out on one console, or at least be TRULY multi-platform?
I've noticed that people seem to have an unusually narrow definition of what a Sonic game is. I've received comments and arguments from people who say that games like Sonic Adventure, Black Knight, even Sonic colors aren't "true" Sonic games because only pure side scrolling platformers count. WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP! I only ever hear this stupid argument coming from Sonic games, nobody ever claimed that Star Fox Adventure wasn't a Star Fox game, or Zelda 2 wasn't a Zelda game, or Paper Mario wasn't a Mario game...well I can go on and on about Metroid, resident evil, and a bunch of other series that make games in more than one basic genre. The fact is that every game Sonic stars in is a Sonic game, just as any other series is defined by its star.

Did Classic just insult Sony?!?!? SHUT UP CLASSIC, YOU'RE JUST A PATHETIC EXCUSE FOR A GAME CHARACTER AND CONSOLE!!! Sony is superior, and always will be.

you gotta remember the last game classic Sonic really starred in came out just when the PS1 was becoming a thing, from his perspective they're an upstart company that just got into the console scene.

He has no idea of Sony's current superiority over sega. Extreme anger builds up within me when Sony is insulted.

well that's just blind fanboyism then, you are completely ignoring the context of the joke (which in this case is that Sony IS a major company whose name is synonymous with gaming.)

Honestly, I don't care, Sony is superior and shouldn't be the victim of insults and jokes.

not that I would, but there are SO many people on the internet who would make it a point to insult and ridicule Sony in a way you would notice just to get your goat.

well since I work at toysrus I know right now that we haven't had any PS4s in stock for like a month, and last time we did have any it was only one case that had 4 units we sold in 2 days. The WiiU and Xbone are in stock more often.

A minor graphical downgrade? Oh you mean completely building a new control scheme to accommodate a wide variety of controller options. And creating new graphics from the ground up. And cutting out a few levels due to them taking up too much space on a wii disc. Unless you don't mind ungodly load times the likes of SEGA Saturn or Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I don't know much about programming, but even I know that porting a game takes quite a bit of money, time, and technical know how.

that may be true, but they proved they could do it when they made Sonic Colors, which was pretty much just like the daytime stages in unleashed.

Please don't make me facedesk. Colors was a completely original project that was developed exclusively for Wii. They reused some of his coding for animations and abilities but otherwise had to make everything from scratch, models included. Also, they only had so much budget. Don't tell me they could have completely rebuilt Generations for the wii because that would hurt the budget and we would end up with a worse game overall.

I'm still hoping to get a Generations port on WiiU though.

Classic Sonic still thinks they're in the 90's. So Nintendo's still his rival, Sony's getting started. And Microsoft hasn't started making game consoles yet.

Starfox Adventure isn't considered a Star Fox game cause it's just a game called Dinoaur Planet with the Star Fox name slapped on it. It's the same reason Mario 2 isn't considered a real mario game by a lot of people. Also Zelda 2 is considered the black sheep of the Zelda games cause it's so different from the others.
This is why i think people complain so much about Sonic games, they lack of focus. When Mario and Zelda jumped to 3d they both chose a game style and stuck with it.
With Sonic things are different. The classic games all have the same speed based platforming with the only difference's being the levels, the enemies, and the new characters who play just like Sonic but have 1 or 2 unique movies.
Adventure on the other hand had 6 different styles of game play. Way to many. Though I do think Adventure was the best of the early 3d Sonic's since even though you had so many game styles a lot of them, Sonic, Tails, and Amy, felt like the same basic speed platforming with only slight differences between the characters.
Then adventure came and it had 3 very different styles, Heroes has the team based thing. And shadow the hedgehog, while it did have the regular run to the goal style, also has the horrible hut and kill style.
The reason Sonic games are doing good now is cause after unleashed they did like most games that jumped to 3d by picking a style and sticking with it. Colors and Generations focus more on fun levels then on gimmicks. Which is what makes or breaks a platformer.
To put this into perspective I'd played and fully acknowledge all the Sonic games 2d or 3d. But i only ever enjoy going back to play the 2d's, Adventure 1 and 2, and Colors or beyond.

I feel your pain. Hey, why is Mario mad?
I have the 3DS version..which isn't as good as the PC/Xbox 360/PS3 versions which are all the same. I played the demo of the PC version and I'm getting it this weekend!

The 3DS version was kind of lame. It was too short, and the cutscenes were poorly done.
Also, there's always the PC version, I guess, but I'm having a hard time finding it.
Also, I share your frustration about it not being on the Wii. I don't own one system that is not from Nintendo (unless you count that Atari Classic Collection that I never play) and making it not for the Wii is a sad mistake on SEGA'S part.

Well I think it's because the Wii doesn't have the ability to handle 7th generation graphics and if SEGA was to release it on the Wii then they would have had to make a totally new version and maybe they didn't have the time and/or money.

Then why don't they make a Wii U version?

True since Batman Arkaham city was re released for the Wii U by DC, so why doesn't SEGA re release Sonic Generations for the Wii U? I have no clue.

the 3DS version isn't lame, it's just kind of rushed. The gameplay engine, controls, and levels are all great and it isn't that short, but the cutscenes are pathetic (colors had an FMV in it, and both rush games had rendered animations) and I really don't like how the other characters don't cameo or have missions dedicated to them like the console version.

It is short if you can carry it around and play it whenever you want.
Also, the rival battles in it are just races. In the console versions there are actual battles and not to mention Perfect Chaos! How awesome is that?!

yeah, though the portable version's Biolizard fight is pretty cool too. You know, something the portable game could have done would be use levels FROM the old portable games, such as using Chaos and Triple Trouble from the Game Gear, some levels from the Advance Trilogy, and then it already used a level from Rush and Colors so that worked fine. Wouldn't that have been better?

Reason: Hedgehog engine. The Wii couldn't support the NEW model. They get it to work for "Colors".

Of course Classic Sonic would be having this reaction.
As a matter of fact, I hear plenty of people saying that StarFox Adventures isn't a true StarFox game, because... well... it isn't. Or... it wasn't supposed to be, is what I should be saying. It was going to be Dinosaur Planet for the Nintendo 64. But, Miyamoto thought Sabre, one of the main characters, looked like Fox, so he was all like "Make it a StarFox game!" RareWare was forced to do it, StarFox fans were upset, and a lot of the features it was supposed to have were dropped, because they had to make time to merge it with the StarFox IP.
Oh, and if these people are like this towards games of the sort, I can't imagine what it would be like if the Army Men series was a lot more popular.
