speedfreak Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 What the hell is this? It looks like Epic Yarn. Perhaps the closest we'll ever get to a Mario & Sonic platformer. So no story mode in either version this time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badnik Mechanic Posted May 16, 2011 Author Share Posted May 16, 2011 I didn't know that they had anti gravity flying disk races at the Oylmpics? Anyway, Pockly confirmed it seems, even if he is just a background character, and Porker Lewis too [/ no idea of his real name] And finally confirmation! SONIC! on a BIG OSS! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamicciolo Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 These new screenshots look really nice, I especially like the look of ones of the Dream Events. Kinda gives extra hope for the other Dream Events that haven't been revealed yet. Though I did wonder something. Is it a safe bet that any Sonic levels that show up in this game are essentially discomfirmed from featuring in Generations? Because I can kinda see the sense in that, using distinct levels in both games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I can kinda see the sense in that, using distinct levels in both games. I hope not. Though another theory is that, out of laziness, they used a toned down for 3DS version of Windy Valley that was made for Generations. It's possible, I mean, why would they completely re-render Windy Valley then restrict it to disc flying? Man, the character models look great on the 3DS. Sonic on a horse is just ridiculous. Makes me really want to see Bowser on a horse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible, I mean, why would they completely re-render Windy Valley then restrict it to disc flying? I suppose that is always a possibility, though whats shown of Windy Valley actually looks more along the lines of "taken straight from Advemture and cleaned up" than of anything unique made for Generations 3DS. I don't know it just kinda seems more likely that any stages that didn't make the cut of Generations might be added to the Olympics, so that they at least get some representation during Sonic's 20th.

metaXzero Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Curious as a newbie. Will SSMB make a section for this game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badnik Mechanic Posted May 16, 2011 Author Share Posted May 16, 2011 Curious as a newbie. Will SSMB make a section for this game? They will eventually, right now theres not been that much to talk about so it's all in one topic. Then again, ASR never got it's own forum. Hmmm.. I wonder if we could keep it all in the one topic?

Ekaje Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 (edited) From the SPOnG interview: SPOnG: Going back to the first game in the series, when you decided that Mario and Sonic’s collaboration should be in the style of a sports party game... Why did that scenario make sense to you as opposed to a traditional platformer? Osamu Ohashi: Prior to this project there has always been a discussion between Nintendo and Sega about bringing Sonic and Mario together somehow. But...there was an issue as to exactly how we could achieve that. These characters come from two totally different backgrounds, ... you can’t just get them to run on one of the Sonic stages or vice versa. You have to create something from scratch, a neutral location. Nintendo and SEGA never managed to agree on just where or what kind of universe we could set a Mario and Sonic adventure in. Then, some time ago, SEGA secured a license to create games based on the Olympics. At that point I came up with the idea of having Mario and Sonic compete with each other in the Olympic games setting. We proposed that idea to Nintendo and they were really positive and interested in the idea... ...But couldn't they just pull the generic crossover justification of "worlds merging because"? Oh well, I really don't care about the idea anymore, and right now I'm convinced that a platformer crossover would just be disappointing in the end anyway.

dabbido Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Im so glad to see Windy Valley back!!! and that Kirbys Epic Yarn stage er...I mean Yoshis Island looks gorgeous!!! makes me want to get the game, but Im not completely sold.

speedfreak Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Seeing that Yoshi Story mini-game made me realize I'd be more then happy with a NSMBW style platformer staring Mario, Luigi, Sonic, and Tails. Just make Sonic/Tails faster and Mario/Luigi have better jumping. Anyway I'll consider getting this if there are more interesting Dream Events. If we're not ever going to be getting a platformer the least I wish they'd do is drop the realistic events and go all Dream Events. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchemingMinor Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 So I guess backdrops will be extended towards Mario spinoffs as well? This seems fine by me. Also this is the third time they decided to release Robotnik with Wario and Waluigi, a pointed trend that I love - they really know their villains. Just admit you like the shipping goodness of Walubotnik, Nintendo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetronic Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 (edited) Not sure if this is super related or anything but: Sega explains why they haven't made a traditional platformer game with Mario and Sonic and only made the mini game fests.
