>mfw Lava Reef never ever
>tfw gonna replay the first four games over the course of the next fortnight
Gonna be a nostalgic week. I haven't played CD in like 10 years.
>Start replaying 3K last week
>Just can't continue because it isn't as smooth and wide as the Taxman CD port is
Well great, I'm never playing it again.
That was the most recent one right? The 2011 release of CD? Haven't tried it myself.
What gamepad are you gonna use to play mania? I'm stuck with the xbone controller right now but it's not that bad
wii u pro controller!
there are also Sonic 1 and Sonic 2 Taxman versions. Sonic 2 is only on mobile tho...
Saturn controller.
i plan on getting on with an adapter eventually
just do like me.
Swap the inside with a play Sega and you're done.
And if the color of the usb cable bother you, paint it.
DS4 connected to my PC.
My man! Does anyone know how to connect the pro controller to pc by cable? Im stuck just using bluetooth
So is hydrocity confirmed?
the cable's just a charger, it doesn't send inputs at all
>he didn't buy CD HD
Why the fuck not? Mega-CD version is ass in comparison, ignoring the song they couldn't get the rights for.
1 is stuck on phone hell too.
You can play both on Ouya, and presumably they run on Bluestacks.
Yeah but is there a cable that does?
>You can play both on Ouya
Did... did Sega seriously release them for Ouya?
No. Bluetooth is fine though.
No, they released CD and 4 Ep 1&2, but you can sideload Sonic 1/2 without any problems.
An Ouya is literally just a console-bound Android OS. The Taxman Sonic 1 and Sonic 2 remakes are on the Google Store so naturally you can also play them on an Ouya.
It's not confirmed, but it's highly implied.
Games that require the touchpad, and/or don't have controller support, won't be playable on the Ouya. Devs can also just straight up block the Ouya, and some games have odd bugs that'll stop you playing.
Here's an old incomplete list:
>ouyaforum.com
Well, I guess there's literally no point then.
Best Android system=GPDXD.
I played Sonic 2 on it.
Literally perfect. (not as perfect than a pc version but still).
HOLY SHIT MYSTIC CAVE MUSIC LEAKED
ITS HERE
SHEEEEEEEIIIIIIIT
BLUE SPHERES MA NIGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
HHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>insta reset time attacks
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>Special Stages look aesthetic as fuck
>Bonus stages are Blue Sphere
>That tiny snippet of Studiopolis Act 2
Fucking cool shit
MOTHERFUCKING BLUE SPHERE TOO
There might be better Android systems out there that'll let you play Sonic 1/2, but the Ouya is a cheap option.
Weird that Blue Spheres is the Bonus Stage instead of the Special Stage. Hope there's an unlockable (near) endless mode like with the original.
The 3D models for the Special Stage look kinda janky. They should have used the Sonic Jam/R models.
Custom blue sphere stage editor announced
>CD controls
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Also, this confirms it wasn't 3&K on that screen.
HOLY SHIT STUDIOPOLIS
I FUCKING CALLED THAT BLUE SPHERES WAS GOING TO BE THE BONUS STAGES
I FUCKING CALLED IT
FFFFFFFkinda disappointed that it'll be only one as opposed to S3K's 3 bonus stages. Moreover I wish they would have expanded on the lightning balls from it, that was the shit.
>Playing S3&K for the first time
>Get to carnival night zone
>Love the aesthetic, music, have fun with the anti-grav parts, bumpers and the giant cylinders
>Everyone hates it
>GRAND DAD
Go-go-fuck yourself.
>dogshitty CD style special stages
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>blue spheres
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
>Only get to hear a few seconds of the music
CD special stages where kino tho
>Everyone
Oh please. I like Carnival Night.
We already knew what the special stages would be we just hadn't seen them in motion, why are you surprised?
CHOO FUCKING CHOO 12 DAYS LEFT
CD's special stages were great though in the Taxman remake.
Give me this fucking game now please
>The Dynamite Heady-esque clipboard on the top there
Adorable!
what the fuck, this looks MILES better than cd. it looks like it wont control like dogshit.
OH MY GOD
nice initials there
so what will you get for beating the blue sphere levels? it can't just be points
Unlockable Amy
I'm so fucking happy the blue spheres are in the game. They're probably better than 3&K itself to me
Well they did cut it off the moment Knuckles got all the spheres. Have to let some things be a surprise.
A new thread so I'm going to go ahead and ask, and I hope for a better and more sane response than I got last time:
You anons ITT admit that 3&K is better than CD in every way, right? Don't you also agree that it's unfair CD got a remake even though it samples music throughout its whole soundtrack while 3&K is strung up on a legal issue, over rights it used to have? I think it's shit, just like CD is. We can all agree that CDfags who like it should be ignored and that 3&K fans are the true fans of Sonic, right?
I didn't know the re-release was a big deal. I'll make sure I play that version of CD when I get to it.
Sorry but Cleveland Mark Blakemore just took back Sonic Mania.
fuck off autist
>The Saturn 3D
Fuckin' beautiful
I love Carnival Night. Way more than Spring Yard or Casino Night in fact.
>All those triggered retards getting mad over the Mania better 3D than Forces comment
>sapes making a game better than a living thal fossil
FutureFunk as fuck.
People only dislike Carnival Night Zone because of the bullshit spinner at the end. It's a good stage otherwise.
>special stages use 3d graphics yet bonus stage not
really makes you think
CD aesthetic getting tons of love in mania, it's amazing
>Blue
>Fucking
>Spheres
But what does the blue spheres bonus stage gibe you?
REEEEE WHY CAN'T IT BE THE 15TH ALREADY
I NEED THIS GAME
Playing through Sonic 3 Complete for the first time and the only shitty thing about that stage for me was Tails would sometimes jump when I'm trying to move those cylinders and fuck up the movement.
No it's fucking not. Woulda been better off if Mania never acknowledged CD's existence and just filled Speedway with another, better 3&K stage.

>mfw just pre ordered Sonic Mania
hi
>Blue sphere
the only time blue sphere was good and interesting was knuckles chaotix
First, I like how the rings in this version of Blue Spheres count down instead of up so you know how many are left to get a perfect bonus. Second, I didn't realize the time trials were being insta reset until checking out the description. It's a very handy thing to have when small mistakes mean starting over. I wonder how the insta reset is activated. Lastly, the new bonus stage looks super fun to play. I like how the rings function as the timer since that goes hand in hand with the Super forms using rings for the same thing. I hope there's a way to activate the super form without needing to lose a shield like in S3 Complete.
The Mania Team is making me very proud to be a Sonic fan right now.
The aliasing on the bonus stage makes me think it uses a polygonal sphere to walk on.
>that low-poly Sonic R look
Fucking madmen did it again. Incredible.
This nigga right here knows the gospel. I'd love to see that instead of blue sphere
>mfw gonna pirate it
They deserve the dough but I'm scraping together college nickels.
So what? We're not allowed more than one post now? Or should only "acceptable" CD-fellating revisionism be allowed? Fuck yourself CDfag NONE of you have given me a good answer yet as to why you would even bother playing it over a superior game. You could at least afford me that courtesy, a look inside your diseased and addled brain.
It's ridiculous how good the special stages are in chaotix considering how shitty the actual levels are
lol
>tfw when summer break ends the day before mania comes out
Nice counterpoint. You're like a stupid kid eating glue, if the glue was labelled Sonic CD.
So now that we got footage of the special stage I want some hyperautist to anaylze it. They've taken background elements from sonic 1, the ufo from CD, the blue spheres from 3, the 'rings as time" mechanic from chaotix, and I'm sure there's more in there
...
I got 15 days free after release my dude. Feel for you.
>mfw I start college the day after Mania comes out
Reminder not to feed autism.
Cheap fuck.
that's some T H I C C hair
Are you the hypothetical Blue Sphere Guy that Cybershell was talking about?
>that Studiopolis Act 2
FUCK THE MINIGAMES
Is that Studiopolis zone 2 i hear at :58?
