Happy happy birthday 🍰

Yep all three regions had their own variants of the artwork, with accurate regional Mega-Drive/Genesis designs and Sonic 3&K carts! They’re all cool but I *really* want the Japan one.

This is one of the coolest Sonic cover arts in existence and I’d give anything to own one 😭

Recent comment: "This A.I. music is as fake as 🏈 🦇." In this case, this is human-made. (3 of our judges panel are also involved as collaborators on it: jnWake, pixelseph, and paradiddlesjosh.) We explicitly do NOT accept any music made with generative A.I. There are tools out there that help identify genAI music. If music involving genAI is ever unknowingly let on, it will be removed if it's discovered. We're 100% against genAI music and are a community geared toward authentic creativity and artistic development. You don't get that by doing text prompts.

25 years in, we are NOT allowing genAI music onto OC ReMix, full stop.

It should be strictly forbidden for game guide writers to ever write "this part is easy". My dude, there is literally only one reason I am reading this and it's because I couldn't do it so much I had to look it up. It was categorically not easy.

Post from Sparky's World - YouTube 𝐒𝐎𝐍𝐈𝐂 𝐂𝐃 𝐓𝐔𝐌: 𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐘𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐋𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫… Happy Anniversary! Today marks one year since the upload of “Sonic CD: The Unsung Masterpiece”, a project that means everything...

If you’ve got any burning questions about the vid, leave them as a comment and perhaps I’ll do something cool with them: youtube.com/post/UgkxzPk...

Today is the one year anniversary of “Sonic CD: The Unsung Masterpiece”!! Thank you to everyone that made the video such an awesome success. Wrote a community post with some behind-the-scenes info linked below!

In Donkey Kong Bananza, Pauline's idle animations evolve over the course of the game as she learns to be more comfortable around DK. In the beginning, she looks around worriedly. After Sublayer 300, she starts ruffling his hair, and after Sublayer 1400, starts tickling him.

Kanga Clanga Badnik from Sonic Superstars. He is cute and orange, with a lovable blank eyed expression.

Kanga Clanga Badnik, as it appears in a 2.5D prototype Evening Star worked on after Sonic Mania. It is balancing on its tail and kicking forward with its springy roo feet! Sonic is knocked to the left with significant kinetic force.

A wider shot of Kanga Clanga hopping in pursuit of Sonic in the outback.

It is now the 8th anniversary of Mania so time to dig up some Sonic trivia... This year, it's Kanga Clanga! (aka the Kangus). This lovable robo-roo originally lived in the outback but now entertains us all in Pinball Carnival Zone!

We all have our own limitations, and you’re still super young. Don’t be too harsh on yourself. Your friends already appreciate you for the person you are, and you’ll only become greater with time. Please have faith <3

We love you buddy. I hope you understand that 🥲

You Can Do Anything x It Doesn't Matter = the definitive Sonic character jingle 🔥🔥🔥

I’m envious that I’ve never once tried the 16-bit Fantasy Zone II that everyone seems to love, tho Super Fantasy Zone on Mega Drive is a total masterpiece.

This might be the all time greatest value in video games - Sonic Mega Collection Plus / Super Monkey Ball Deluxe Combo Pack

It’s a compilation of two compilations!! So every 2D Sonic game (except for CD) and both Monkey Ball games plus extra content!

For $20 at the time!!

Sonic CD musical homages/callbacks in NiGHTS into Dreams OST (at least all the ones I've caught so far). Naofumi Hataya is a generational treasure ❤️

You’ve earned it 🙂

A fanart of the game NiGHTS Into Dreams depicting the characters NiGHTS, Claris and Elliot flying across Spring Valley.

Happy 29th anniversary NiGHTS!

Feliz aniversário, NiGHTS!

We’re not beating the allegations 😂

Winner of monthly character request voting thing on my server.
Awesome timing.

Damn, guess I live in the 1800s or something.

The original Sonic games had SUCH dope-looking marketing in Japan. How did kids not take one look at these and immediately demand ten copies from their parents???

Yet another nice example of a developer keeping a midrange, composite-only, consumer CRT nearby to check how the game’s visuals would look for the end user.

Sonic the Hedgehog came out on the SEGA Genesis 34 years ago today! To celebrate, we've added a History of Sonic VHS tape to our archive! It was released to promote the launch of Sonic 3, and includes behind the scenes looks at the creation of SEGA's mascot! archive.hitsave.org/ark:/78322/6...

YouTube video by Cabbusses Sonic CD Segment from "SEGA VIDEO NEWS VOL. 2 1993/Summer" (wadelyjp)

Surprisingly no! Sega actually showcased it multiple times before CD even released in 1993, most notably as the intro to this tape they mailed to a bunch of fans houses that summer. They were pretty proud of it: youtu.be/_fhHScj0zr4?...

It'd mean a great deal to me if any followers of mine could read the thread I posted on the birdsite about my experience with the Youtuber Alex Yard. I'd recreate the whole thing again here but this seems more efficent. Thanks alot: x.com/SubsonicSpar...

Things have genuinely gotten so bad we have to be preemptively assured that the vid isn’t poisoned with generative slop. The shit is everywhere 💀

Amy was supposed to fall in a pit in Dubious Depths before getting rescued by the end of the stage. Apparently the folks modding the stage back into the game are finally gonna do this idea justice lol.

The hardest part of replacing a phone is having to part with a fire phone-case. See ya Dandy 😢

Nothing makes me feel like I'm out of the zeitgeist more than FINALLY enjoying a Mario Kart game to the extent that I'm enjoying Mario Kart World... and having THAT be the moment that people choose to be wildly critical of the series!
