These three 3DS games were surprisingly good, and overlooked.
Sonic X Shadow Generations is a remaster of Sonic Generations released in 2011. The real question is, does the remaster live up to the hype of the original?
Sonic the Hedgehog has a long and turbulent history in videogames, but which are the best games featuring the blue bur?
Generations over Mania? Please… Generations doesnt have any new ideas in the levels/bosses.
Also a top 7 of Sonic games shouldn’t have any 3D crap and contain at least one of the 8-bit titles.
Sonic CD getting snubbed is weird. Number 1 is definitely interchangable between Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 & Knuckles.
Nothing wrong with putting Generations over Mania. Generations had a lot more to it. Mania was just a bit too short, despite how amazing it was. They're both top-tier Sonic games though.
I don't think mania was to short given 1,2,3, knuckles were between 1 and 3 hours long.
Mania was 5 hours roughly
However i say the originals feel more repayable because they are so short
The 8 bit games were pretty bad overall do you mean the 16 bit ones
Nope. Sonic 1 & 2 on the master system were great. Dont confuse these with the game gear versions either.
Top 7 for me
7 cd
6 mania
5 Frontiers
4 sonic 3
3 sonic 1
2 sonic and knuckles
1 sonic 2
Sometimes I feel like the Sonic Advanced games just didn’t exist with how much it’s always forgotten 😭
Even as a Sonic fan, I didn't really care for those games, and getting the Chaos Emeralds were freakin' horrible. Even with an emulator and save states, I didn't have the desire to try. I also didn't like most of the levels or bosses either. Unfortunately, DiMPs aren't good at making Sonic games.
The divide between both iterations of Sonic is now reaching spin-off territory, and the way Sega is handling it is both a blessing and a curse.
Shadow Wars does look pretty cool. If I ever get a 3DS I'll probably check it out...though now there's Mario games and stuff...
Shadow Wars is 1 of the reasons i got my 3DS on launch day :)
Rexx was overlooked.
Shadow Wars convinced me to buy a 3DS earlier than I had planned and the game was better than I expected. I put a solid 35 hours into it and I still haven't completed everything in it. It is the true sleeper casualty of the launch lineup and it is a great way to gauge whether someone really understands the 3DS library or is just talking out of their ass. If you don't like turn-based that's fine. But if you talk about the best of the first year and don't include this game it pretty much proves you don't have enough experience to make a complete judgment. The game media has been rightly mentioning it quite a bit the last few weeks as a top 3DS game of 2011.
And its still available for cheap. Pick it up if you liked Advanced Wars or Age of Empires on DS or if you like the Fire Emblem GBA game that Ambassadors just got.
Wait a minute, you forgot 3 BIG overlooked and incredible 3DS games here! Nano Assault, Ace Combat and Williams Pinball. I own all 3 and can tell you that they are just awesome games!!!
Ace Combat is better than the console versions, it is more like the older AC games! Graphics look very similiar to the 360 version that came out a few years ago. Just incredible game! Nano Assault is one of the best shooters around, looks like a PS3 game.
Pinball is amazing too, have gotten alot of mileage outta this one. Looks almost identical to its PS3 counterpart. Love this one!!!
