As far as I can tell, the general consensus is that the 3DS version isn't 06 bad like the WiiU one, but it's still nothing to write home about. Personally I don't plan on getting either version at this stage unless it's in the bargain bin.

If any of you are planning to get it soon, at least wait until black Friday. I'm going to wait until the price gets cut in half or ends up in the $20 games bin somewhere... heck I still don't even own Sonic Lost World.

Well.... at least the show wasn't as bad as we thought. I hope this teaches them a lesson on how not to treat a franchise, an obvious lesson they should have known from the start.

First reviews are starting to trickle in. Predictably, it ain't pretty - I'm pretty sure even '06 didn't fare this bad.

Also this might have well been in YLYL, but I suppose it's more relevant here. Spoilers, but you probably don't care by now.

Don't forget that one can use the enerbeam to create infinite combos, become invincible with the right trick, and get themselves respawned outside of a forcefield if they die inside it. Quality this ain't.

They always seem to rush these games and never get the bugs out... you'd think they'd learn by now.

And here are the reviews

If you'll recheck the Metacritic link I posted earlier, you'll find that IGN, GameInformer and Gamespot have all posted their reviews. This changes two things - one, Gamespot was the lowest one at 20, and two, the game is literally doing worse on average than Sonic '06 now.

Now hopefully this shit never happens again.

This is Sonic '06 2.0. There is no contest.

The thing is a glitchfest even worse than 06, Lyric is literally the worst villain I've seen come out of the Sonic series, the game stutters and freezes randomly, and worst of all Eggman is a total joke.

Missed seeing the first link. Yeah that's true, even more glitchy than 06'... this is why we teach history classes. I'm hoping come April or whenever around the time they usually announce something new, it's something not so embarrassing... and more next-gen for specs and looks.

If they really wanted to rebrand him with a new show and game, I don't see why they couldn't have just rebooted Satam and made a game of that. They at least would have a cult following that already exists and could reach multiple demographics.

This will probably be Big Red Button's only game. Most of their staff saw this trainwreck coming even earlier than we did and jumped ship mid development - at least as early as July, but there's mention of the original producer leaving in September last year.

I dunno, but if BRB closes down, we can probably count that as karma.

So ahaha, remember how I mentioned that people left around July? Turns out that was when the game went gold. They've been sitting on the presumed finished build for 5-6 months doing absolutely nothing with it. Using the word "finished" very loosely, of course.

A few other small nuggets I've heard about SSMB: BRB's been fighting against the engine for pretty much all of RofL's development because CryEngine just doesn't fucking work for platformers, and the Hedgehog Engine has been strictly for Sega's internal use only so they weren't going to loan them that. There's also talk that the loading times are atrocious and Knux gets stuck to the walls too. Crazy, it's like BRB's literally been running '06's whole playbook or something.

EDIT: okay this is just disgraceful

Since summer?! Well now...
I love how right before the video ends, one ring count shows "2006". So, my question: You guys think we found the game to knock 06 off it's "throne"?

It almost makes '06 look bugless. At least '06 has better graphics for something that was made almost a DECADE ago... and didn't set itself for an audience even younger than it is now. Not only did it knock 06 off the thrown, it might be the buggiest game released for years. Seriously, why is it always Sonic games that are so buggy? Well... ubishaft ones too.
