    I had two strategy guides for the game, and neither of them mentioned that the D-Pad controlled the barrels. I think I finally figured it out by accident while playing the game in my teens. I wonder if any of the game manuals outside of North America mentioned it.

    Now that I think about it, I wonder why I just didn't use the game's debug mode to move past it. I loved goofing around with those all the time.

    I had a Sonic 3 calendar. Each month had a different tip. January was Angel Island Act 1, February was Angel Island Act 2, etc. ...

    The month of August told me how to to get past that damn red barrel.

    I remember keeping that calendar for years, just in case I ever forgot how to get past that part.

    Where the heck is actual DLC for Sonic Transformed?

    And weren't we meant to get the next sonic game announced weeks ago now?

    I am impatient!

    That's cool. $2 seemed steep for an Infinite Runner with IAPs.

    It says it's compatible with iPhone 3GS models now, too. I'm pretty sure it said it only supported The 4 and up before.

    Apparently Sonic 1 (and later 2) are getting the Sonic CD treatment on iOS (and maybe other platforms) by the same guy responsible for that port.

    Footage of Sonic 1 Remastered running on Android. It reveals a few things, like an added spindash and an idea of how the boss fights will work in widescreen.

    From Sonic Retro:
    On today’s Nintendo Direct, Satoru Iwata has announced the upcoming 3D Sonic title Sonic: Lost World. Not much was shown, but we did get this art shot:

    sonic_lost_world.jpg

    We also got one other intriguing piece of information: Iwata has revealed that Nintendo & Sega have entered into a “worldwide partnership in the Sonic franchise”, and as such, Sonic: Lost World will be exclusive to WiiU and 3DS owners. No date was revealed, but November seems a safe bet based on past years.

    So does this "worldwide partnership" mean that Sonic is exclusive to Nintendo? Because if so, it's about fucking time. I don't know why, but it just makes so much sense.

    I think I heard it was a three game dealio. Third is unannounced. I'm not sure if that just means the 3DS game.

    It's a 3-game deal. The first game is this, the second is the new Sonic & Mario Olympic games, the third hasn't been announced.

    It does make sense, yet as someone who grew up during the Nintendo/Sega Console Warz it's also really weird. Sonic, a Nintendo exclusive? Madness. It will never happen.

    This isn't the first time a Sonic game has been Nintendo exclusive...

    One can hope it takes after Sonic Colors.

    As long as it's in the same vein as Unleashed, Colours, or Generations, I'm good to go.

    Of the last ten years Sonic Colors is the only Sonic game I really love, so this is great news.

    I've said this before, but to me Sonic has gone downhill ever since they shifted the character towards this immature urban-pop-style. To me, Sonic was about a mystical world of nature and ruins intruded by evil machines and the title suggest that's where Sonic is returning to.

    I played Colors AFTER I played Generations and I think that sorta soured me on the colors experience. For me, Generations was the perfect sonic experience. Colors.... the little things just annoyed me.
    Not being able to change controls, the way sidestepping worked, and not being able to change music and voice volume. The volume thing was especially frusterating because it lead to NOT BEING ABLE TO HEAR THE DAMNED DIALOG in levels and in the menu select section. GRR.

    Well, that's a downer. Between sega pretending that Sonic 1 Remastered is mobile-exclusive and the next two games being WiiU exclusive, I'm probably locked out of new Sonic stuff for a while too.

    Maybe the Sonic: Lost World levels can be ported to Generations PC. :rotate:

    Unlikely given they haven't been the same for the last two mainline games and the primary one (most likely) is a full-fat HD game.

    Not being a goose, or at least not on purpose. Maybe hilarious was too strong of a word. I just think that if someone was a true fan of a game, they'd be at least willing to eventually find a way to play the game.

    It's not like this is the first exclusive Sonic game.

    being a true fan has nothing to do with not wanting to/not having the means to buy a several hundred dollar system for one game

    People have different metrics for what is worth spending cash on, and dropping the whole issue is an action I fully endorse.

    Given the hexes, I hope the new game offers a cultural victory.

    This is a spin off and is being handled by the Sonic Colors team. Oh, and it is using the Hedgehog Engine. The main Sonic Team is currently working on the next Hedgehog Engine.

    I thought info about this game had been around for a long while now? I've known about this game for months already.
