It's not as good as the recent few games, but it's not really as bad as the 3D games were either. The 3DS version looked pretty bad though. I've only been able to play the WiiU version as a demo at Wal-Mart.
BTW, if you live in the U.S., they just put both demos on the eShop. The 3DS is an overall bad game, yeah, but the levels available in the demo (Windy Hill Tutorial and Windy Hill Zone 1) are surprisingly good. It's a shame the rest of the game isn't as good (the later levels are too puzzle and Wisp oriented).

That's what I heard, that Windy Hill was the only good zone. And seeing the levels in videos, I really see that. It's a shame because I was going to get it for 3DS. And I liked Dimp's earlier works in the games too. Oh well, here's hoping for the third Nintendo exclusive to be on 3DS and good this time.
Indeed. I don't like how they've been handling the handheld games lately, all we've been getting is downgraded ports of console games, I miss original handheld games like Advance and Rush. Pity the people in Dimps who made those games are gone and the new guys just seem completely incapable of making a good Sonic game.

BTW, I finally got to play the Wii U demo, and I didn't really like the controls in that version as much. It still looks like an overall okay game, but not really something I'd rush out to buy a Wii U for.

Really? That's pretty much the same story for the original Sonic Team. Their 3D games are getting pretty good now.

And if I was to buy a Wii U, it would be for Smash Bros. 4
The current Sonic Team has been a lot more careful about what they do with the gameplay because they don't want another Sonic 06 on their hands. That's why the gameplay is a bit more dumbed down nowadays with no multiple characters, shorter games, and simpler storylines. Lost World seems like a glorified beta test, though, but that's usually what they use the Nintendo games for nowadays (see: Sonic and the Secret Rings, Sonic Colors).

And IMO, I'm not particularly excited for anything the Wii U has right now, Super Mario 3D World and Lost World are interesting, but not really what I'd call system sellers. It doesn't really seem like many of the Wii U games really make good use of the Gamepad, most of the Nintendo games are just recycled gameplay from past games and they haven't really come up with a game where the Gamepad is helpful. You know, like they did with games like Metroid Prime 3 or Super Mario Galaxy on the Wii. Those kinds of games, if they are ever released, would be Wii U system sellers.

I can see, but maybe one day Izuna will make something that will be evolutionary for 3D Sonic. Get this, though. An interview revealed that the current Sonic writer doesn't know much at all about the Sonic characters and uses wikipedia and cut scenes for minor looks at how to write the stories. :p WTH?

The WiiU does seem to not have much at all, but it just came out not too long ago, so we just need a little time. And to me, SSB4 probably could be quite a system seller. I just wish it would have cutscenes like Brawl had.
TBH, I think they already have. There's definitely been some good ideas these last few years, they just need more polish and more thought put into how they're used.

I saw that interview, kind of sad really. I hope next game he does more research, it seems like he's got some good ideas on how to use some of the characters as well, but it's pretty clear with how Knuckles and Amy were handled this game that he doesn't really understand their roles very well.

The game got mixed to poor reception. I haven't played it but i like the designs for few of the deadly six!

And congratulations: you are the 1st to have DID of zeena! It looks awesome!
They have demos at Wal Mart? I've been wanting to try this game out, I want to get a feel for the controls before I decide whether or not I want to get it. Everyone's been so divisive over whether or not this game is good.

It's one of those "in-between" games. And there was a demo at the wal-mart I went to.
Wow you reply quick XD

I just hope there's one at the one near me.

Maybe. And yea, I just happen to be on right now.

-sighs- I think my friendship w/ Luna is dying... She didn't re-edit the pic, she got mad at me just because I ASKED her NICELY to give her clothes... she's not the Luna I know in love anymore... I want the old Luna back... I tried telling her... it's not working... she needs help... I need help... and since I can't view notes here on the 3DS, this is the only way to communicate. I don't know what's happening between me & luna... but that pic... those pics... she needs her mind to be fixed... I have standards & very serious w/ them. That's why when she posted those pics, it setted me of... I'm sorry, bro... I just want my friends back... I'm already :iconheartbrokenplz: after what happened... it's my fault I can't & refuse to change... you only stay young for some time & I want to stay w/ my family. And Luna needs to know that too... she gave it up too early. She needs to know what fun really is... because I'm not into bound and bondage stuff... please help me & Luna... and ♂Bud's strictly against that & he instantly frees them, regardless of location. He knows everything, and he despises things that he classifies as bad. He's the hero. He frees anyone tied-up, but it depends. And he always catches his target. He ignores all dodging even phasing. He's not immortal, so don't call him a so-called "Mary-Su", because he did lose on rare occasions. And he can die, but he can heal fast. I know it's irrelevant, but ♂Bud doesn't like that kind of stuff. So he sabotages everything of tying up people. He weakened ropes if they're used for tying people. And you already know I despise creepypastas, but when it comes to ♂Bud, it's a whole new different story. You already know he killed Sonic.EXE & reverted him into normal Sonic. He killed the demon possessing him & he destroyed the main .EXE permanently. And since ♂Bud is Luna's big bro, she's also immune from them. I know it's irrelevant, but ♂Bud cares a lot for Luna & he never leaves her behind.

Ok, cussing at her isn't asking nicely. Like I said, I know how you feel. I just think she probably feels like you're threatening to end your friendship with her over what she does. And what makes you or bud her big bro?
turner148's avatar
Well... for me & luna, we're just cyber-siblings. I care a lot for her like if she was my lil sis in rl. For ♂Bud the Fox & Luna the Hedgehog, they're related in blood, so ♂Bud is Luna's big bro. Because of that, Luna also has some of ♂Bud's powers & all of his immunities against evil.

Now you know why I'm not happy when Luna posted those pics... I really don't like seeing sonic o.cs tied up like that & w/ Luna it's even worse on me. I'm on two halves right now... one half just wants to hit her & demands her to take them off... but the other side wants to free them & want make-up images. Idk what to do... I'm not really onboard w/ that stuff at all. And nothing is gonna make me like it. And Luna should NOT do commissions. First of all, people want request, 2nd, people can't afford points, 3rd, I don't do commissions & don't like them because what's the point of doing them? If I do them, I'd feel bad & return the points because I feel like I'm just robbing them for just ONE pic, & that includes the pricy stuff. Because it feels like I'm getting robbed out of my money & just want to buy FREE commissions Permanently (or just request). I don't think I made a reasonable point but that's why I don't understand commissions & want Luna to do Donation Pools. Can you at least tell her there are alternatives? Because if she does those, I don't want her to charge me for ONE pic because I have ZERO points & can't afford any. I can't even GIVE them to people. Tell her she should start a donation pool so she can get points faster. Commissions are for people that are popular & are great at drawing. Request are for everyone. That's why commissions are closed, PERMANENTLY. And I can't post my pics here, sadly.
Well, as long as there's a U.S. demo floating around out there, I should be fine.
