  • Check Out Amy Rose's Sonic CD Gameplay in Sonic Origins Plus

    She has a Piko Piko Hammer drop-dash!

    The first full look of Amy Rose gameplay in Sonic Origins Plus has been revealed by SEGA's Sonic social media team, during the latest 'Sonic Official' livestream. In it, you can check out some of Amy's unique moves and how she controls in Sonic CD, one of the four titles in the collection where you will be able to play as the rosy rascal.

    As you can see, Amy has a "Drop Dash" move equivalent when playing the 2D classics - when you hold the jump button in mid-air and land, she will speed ahead while mashing her Piko Piko Hammer. That move smashes anything that happens to be in her way, including Badniks and item boxes. Amy also has a cool double-jump spin involving her Hammer, which we imagine can be used as a sort of buffer when attacking enemies in the air.

    The action starts at 36:40 in the video above, so scroll over to that time and check out the gameplay for yourself.

    What do you think? Game changer, or more of the same? Let us know in the comments below!

    In comparison to the Mania DLC costing half the price for what we got here? It doesn't look all that great for sure. One additional character (we don't include Knuckles), no real restructures or changes or extra modes to what's currently on offer either (to my knowledge) and any QOL patches like last time I presume will be free without the DLC anyway. 

    Really, you're getting paying £5.98 for the 12 GG games to be emulated officially on your switch, with the remaining £1.98 that nabs you Amy as a playable character.

    I'd say she's more than a Sonic reskin personally, especially since they kept some of her Sonic Advance moves with the hammer... but it's not a game/level changer like Ray and Mighty were, sure. It's actually a bit of a shame these guys couldn't have been ported across either, massively missed opportunity there. Would have been nice having another KNUCKLES IN... but for the new guys. Perhaps they'll return in a future Superstars update instead, that game seems primed for more character inclusions.

    Amy will suffice here though, we've been demanding it forever so not gunna throw shade at that long term request finally being upheld in Origins and Superstars.
