SASASR

[Pao]

I must say the game is fantastic, kudos to Sumo Digital and SOL, you guys did a great job!

Hopefully there is a Sequel with much better roster and tracks because frankly, the ones present are really disappointing.

[Happy Cat]

Yeah, Slingerland (Brad Flick) is just being a dick now. Saying "I get it, Barry. You run a SEGA fansite. Good for you." when I name off a list of Sega games. Really Brad, you don't need a fansite (which I don't have, it's a simple blog) to know the Sega games I listed.

lol, i personally wouldn't bother with him anymore.

Speaking of Sonic Stadium, you should get S0L in here =P im sure he would love to see that the nerds/bits love his game.

[Dr. SEGA Monkey]

Can we still call ourselves "SEGA Nerds"? :cry:

[Aki-at]

I don't want to go into the depths of hell, but can someone generally want to summarize what Sonic Stadium and Sonic Retro members have been saying?

I mean if they've allowed a pirated copy, that's just wrong and S0L is in the right, I am pretty sure all of us agreed that kid who leaked NSMB Wii online was in the wrong (Even though now, he is virtually Miyamoto's butler or just an example) even with our varying degrees of Nintendo hate.

And Dr SEGA Monkey is totally right, Mario Kart Wii really scraped the bottom of the barrel in terms of character selection and keep in mind I don't even have much of a positive opinion of SARS character selection! But of course that's Nintendo, so it must be good! I can never understand why people like Slingerland even bother writing for a Sonic site if all it's going to do is make you angry SEGA is ruining one of your favourite series, like move on man!

Actually I remember the time when Dr SEGA Monkey said SEGA always have more detailed characters than Nintendo and he got attacked by a bunch of members over at Sonic Stadium, with the exception of Samus (I <3 Samus but what they're doing to her in Metroid Other M makes me </3) all of SEGA's characters are more detailed in design. So yeah.

Can we still call ourselves "SEGA Nerds"? :cry:

The Kartel is that way ---->

[Barry the Nomad]

Lol! Looks like Brad or another admin removed the NiGHTS article! Visit my Sega fansite!

[Team Andromeda]

My mates got the game , and I have to say this is really nice and really, really well done . Much better than the last 2 piss poor Mario Kart games (home consoles) that's for sure .

[Aki-at]

Yeah I tried clicking on it and I got nothing, what was the basic jist of it?

Another thing SEGA could be considering is seeing how successful the DLC for respective characters/series are, they might finally be able to gouge just how popular and profitable a series could be.

So everyone buy the Shenmue pack with Lan Di.

[spoiler:2uyi7mp0]Want Joe Musashi S0L not Hotsuma or Sho make sure you drill that into SEGA's head[/spoiler:2uyi7mp0]

My mates got the game , and I have to say this is really nice and really, really well done . Much better than the last 2 piss poor Mark Kart games (home consoles) that's for sure .

I'm not even a fan of the game overall and even I think a few people have been unfavourably comparing it to Mario Kart.

[Dr. SEGA Monkey]

I wasn't saying more detailed in design, I was saying that SEGA's characters have more personality and are more unique than Nintendo's characters. Also, SEGA characters and games have better art styles.

Mario Kart Wii really scraped the bottom of the barrel in terms of character selection

You can even make the same argument for Brawl. I love the game, but they were really reaching for that game too.

There were 6 Mario characters (8 if you count Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong), 3 Star Fox characters, a couple of characters I don't even know (Who's Marth? Who's Roy?), Mr. Game & Watch (totally popular character, right?) 2 characters that aren't even Nintendo, Earthbound characters that aren't even famous outside of Japan, and Ice Climbers (which are on the same level of obscurity and popularity as Bonanza Bros.)

And ROB. Which was a toy.

So I don't really understand what the article was trying to prove. The same decisions made in SASASR were made in Brawl! Except on a bigger scale.

Stop being a SEGA fanboy Nintendo has classic designs yo.

And yes, I was having a tough time trying to remember what exactly you said, even though what you said was right.

You can even make the same argument for Brawl. I love the game, but they were really reaching for that game too.

You love Smash Bros Brawl? Dr SEGA Monkey what has become of you?!

But yes, there is this general perception of Nintendo that no matter what, they can do no wrong. Look at how drastic the changes in the new Metroid game is, yet not as many people are up in arms when you compare that to the changes SEGA (Or many other publishers) do to their series, it's rather annoying.

I find it odd I am even defending SEGA All-Stars Racing as I myself do not have much of a positive impression of the game, but some of the complaints I've seen are really scraping the bottom of the barrel.

So I don't really understand what the article was trying to prove. The same decisions made in SASASR were made in Brawl! Except on a bigger scale.

Well most of these writers at Sonic fansites these days just want a reason to complain and vent out and go on a tangent that ends up making no sense!

But no one has still told me what the article or what happened at Sonic Retro yet ;_;

[Barry the Nomad]

Yeah I tried clicking on it and I got nothing, what was the basic jist of it?

basically Brad was pondering why NiGHTS was left out of the roster, which is a valid point to ponder. But then he turned to the rest of the roster and began complaining about how the Bonanza Bros are nobodies and that Sega's universe of characters pails in comparison to Brawl's roster.

I replied saying I dissagreed and I prattled off a list of Sega's broad range of games, from E rated through M rated and the many console and arcade platforms that have brought us literally hundreds of characters that are much more diverse than Nintendo's stable.

Brad disagreed (in a dick way) and then began to bemoan that my listing off of Sega games was just me showing off my sega knowlege and something about "ooh my name is Barry and I have a sega fansite!"

then I told him it doesn't take 1337 knowledge to prattle off a dozen diverse sega games and that his lack of knowledge is probably due to him being a Sonic fan but not too big a Sega fan.

Then the article was erased.

[Monkeroony]

In that case I would say that you won.

Nights is in the game, I played as him and reala in SST and thought he was a crappy designed character.
Why does he need to be in every sonic game anyway?

[Barry the Nomad]

My problem is with the current design of NiGHTS. I could do without him/her. When I look at the new frilly non-large purple collared design, I feel little association with the Saturn game that I love. Instead I see a character from a Wii game that I tried for a half hour and was disappointed with. Ugh, and when he/she speaks in SST...

[crackdude]

I liked Nights better when he/she couldn't talk.

[Aki-at]

Did he use any silly Colbert images to tell you how wrong you are Barry? :lol:

Brad is pretty much like almost many major Sonic fansites writers, says how horrible SEGA is but only interested in one of their series and ignores all the other series.

I doubt any of them have played much SEGA games outside of the Dreamcast and SEGA Saturn classics.

[Barry the Nomad]

Ah yes, when Sonic Stadium posted my Shenmue video a number of readers asked "whats shenmue?" and "ive never heard of a ryo hazuki game."

sigh...

They're welcome to come by my place and play it!
