I’ve been enjoying Sonic Origins immensely these last few days. among the high points for me are
- new animted openings, endings that ties every game together pefectly
- new animation frames that gives the game that little extra polish
- Super Sonic when rotating
- Special stages being updated at higher framerates
- Tails getting his own little animation at the start of Sonic 3
- Artwork to unlock
- Music to listen to
- Super charming island maps in 3d showing small details
- restored "Hidden Palace" in Sonic 2
- Ported games in real 16:9, no emulation
It may seem silly that 5 old games sold at 40$ seems like such a big deal for me, but it just elevated these all time classics to an even higher degree. We see old games rereleased as roms packaged in collections all the time, but I haven’t seen this kind of effort in a while.
Shining Force series
That got me thinking how cool it would be if Sega could do the same for Shining Force, Shining Force 2 and Shining Force CD. Now, Shining Force has lost all of its good reputation, and the “Shining” series means nothing to anyone, except for a few weirdos like me. But those games are among the very best strategy rpgs I know of. And I love the gameplay, characters and even the art style of the games. I’d like to see them
- In one package
- Shining Force 1 being updated to look a bit better, like the sequels
- maybe a prologue, or something between the timeskip between 2 and CD?
- Artwork, I want to see more!
- Music, I love it!
- Real ports, in 16:9. WHat ends up beyond the game maps, can show more of the scenery around it.
