Sonic The Hedgehog - A Little Ball of Energy in an Extremely Handsome Package

Sonic Frontiers Steam tagged as a hardcore adult game

Valve launched community-created Steam tags back in 2014 and things haven’t always gone smoothly.
While they can be very helpful, checking the tags for pretty much any Steam game often yields some odd inclusions – Elden Ring as a relaxing walking simulator, anyone?
The game has been tagged for ‘hentai’, ‘psychological horror’, ‘nudity’, and perhaps more shockingly of all, ‘Souls-like’.
Checking SteamDB reveals other tags such as ‘gore’, ‘sexual content’, ‘NSFW’, ‘horror’, and most interestingly of all, ‘female protagonist’.

Sonic has already enough rivals, so I prefer a rival for Eggman.
Starline who has great admiration on Eggman fits the bill.
Of course I still prefer Zavok, he's written great in Bad Guys, but his zeti friends (other than Master Zik) are kinda annoying.

I'd rather have an existing villain for a rival to Dr. Eggman than just a knock-off of Finitevus or Snively. Besides Dr. eggmans shows he was always a few steps ahead of Starline to the point he was never regarded much of a threat to him, just an inconvenience.

May be he should~

Him being a delivery boy was my proposed idea for a Season 3 story arc of Sonic Boom. Where Team Sonic gets stranded in the big city and get by as couriers.

It's a single player game that's more like a console game with no plans for future update so it served its purpose.
Unlike Idola, Sonic Speed Simulator, or Sonic Forces Mobile which are being maintained every weeks and getting constant update.

Sonic Speed Sim updates are somewhat of a mixed bag though. Take the Big + Froggy event for example, they introduced Green Reef, a small cove bay area. Sure it's small but effort was put into it... But they used Lost World badniks which do nothing but serve for grinding again. they could at least have attacks or cause harm when touched but they don't. Kind of an insult to have buzz bombers do work more fitting for spinner badniks. This is why if we ever get a Shadow update, I'd rather it be a series of challenges than just "Collect 2000 Chaos Drives to unlock Shadow".

All his friends are always running so I guess he wanted to try it too.

Turns out the big guy is just as fast.

In a way it's "sort of" indicates what fans are hoping from this game, a more maturer direction for Sonic games. Though of course not that mature.

That's the point of rival character, to make the main character's shining.



In this case to make Eggman's shining.
He's always mostly losing to Sonic so it's a nice thing to see him winning over his new rival in a glorious way despite Starline's almost perfect plan.
Despite it's succeed or not, Finitevus or Snively's plan is weak compared to what Starline's.

Sound nice, although as for me I'll just be happy with a cameo appearance but in every episode. All of them.

I'd like to be proven wrong of course.

Yeah, although whether he enjoyed it or not, that's a different matter.

And definitely not this mature...

Sonic the Hedgehog Flying Battery Zone Playset is Out Now

Make Sonic run fast over the rotating flames and spike traps! Climb up the prop-bade and don't let go as it spins around and around.
Make sure to avoid the Technosqueek as Sonic swings across the monkey bars to collect all of the Rings!/quote]

I guess so. It was a win for Dr. Eggman when he normally loses to Sonic. I just wouldn't choose Starline over it. I still can't help but feel most of the IDW characters are replacement to Archie characters which would make it hard for fans to expect much else from them.

Sound nice, although as for me I'll just be happy with a cameo appearance but in every episode. All of them.

Well, Can't have a Sonic show without Sonic.

But I bet it'll still be "Collect 2000 Chaos Drives to unlock Shadow".
I'd like to be proven wrong of course.

Me too. Grinding is repetitive and gets boring quick. While the Tornado event was repetitive given we had to repeat the course over and over to grind for Buzz Bombers, at least the ranking system made it competitive. I was satisfied when I got an S-Rank for the one and only time.

Yeah, although whether he enjoyed it or not, that's a different matter.

He doesn't seem to mind.

And definitely not this mature...

Legit question, how would you feel if Sonic Team released, the very least a spin-off continuity of Sonic the Hedgehog that's more catered to an older audience? Maybe more gritty, maybe with Amy being older and curvier or Rouge being a bit more promiscuous?

I thought of something similar but going as far to rebrand Sonic as a kamaitachi instead of a hedgehog, as well as other Sonic characters animals replaced as yokai.

I'll give it a try when I can given I never played the original STT.

It's cool and all but isn't it a bit small? I mean, so is the Green Hill Zone playset.

Yeah, could be worse than the characters they replace since from the rumour I heard the new mandate is Sonic couldn't lose to comic-only characters.
So probably Sonic would never lose to Surge or Starline.
Surge still could have win over other characters though (Metal Sonic, Chaotix, Tangle, Whispers)

Tornado event was like console game moment while now it's back to like mobile gaming again.

I'd love too.
They could go wilder in fact with alternate universe route.
May be in the alternate future where Sonic's son is being trained by Knuckles.
Wait.. now that sounds like Son Gohan and Picollo.

I'll give it a try when I can given I never played the original STT.

I played it on my 3DS (Game Gear Virtual Console) back then.
It's better than Sonic Chaos & Sonic G
and lot easier than Sonic 1&2 8-Bit version.

It's cool and all but isn't it a bit small? I mean, so is the Green Hill Zone playset.

It served the purpose as a mini diorama to be put together along with other mini dioramas.
They want us to collect all stage playsets.

I didn't win this one (and some others) but at least I won the other two, lol.
One Steam code from SEGA Asia and Official Sonic Origins Card from Sonic The Hedgehog Official Facebook account.

The official Sonic Origins playing cards have arrived !!!

More mandates? Didn't Sega learn nothing from choking Archie with mandates? And if this mandate is true then, well, I guess we cal always expect Sonic to win regardless then. The steaks and perils mean nothing if we know he's going to win in the end regardless.

Tornado event was like console game moment while now it's back to like mobile gaming again.

At least it's still available, I was concerned they would have to delete it to make room or something.

I'd love too.

For my take, I was thinking more along the lines if IDW comics Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, especially with stories that concentrate on animal people who know they are at odds with life in New York City but still trying to make lives for themselves as their own minority. Such as lives in Mutant Town.

I played most of the Sonic Game Gear games but not all of them, so never got to play Triple Trouble.

As a collection sure, but whatever happened to the days where playsets were bigger and more interactive?

The mandates is how they learn not to let the writer's imagination went uncheck.
The mandates came after Ken Pender legal issues.

Why it sounds like X-Men?
With mutants as minority?

Unlike back then, nowadays they are too costly to make now.
With so many competitors right now, popular toys tend to have more expensive licenses.
Those high cost licenses get transferred to the buyers and most buyers (that aren't colectors) tend to go to the cheaper option.
