Does Sonic Generations have a OC port?

I've seen the complaint before that the design on the second island is lacking compared to the first, but I'm not really feeling that personally. I feel like they did try to do something different here, sort of having it split off into two seperate areas, a desert and a canyon/plateau area (a Wild Canyon, perhaps?) where before Fast Travel its not the easiest thing to travel from the former to the latter. It tries to come up with some different mini-boss ideas, too. Even the Cyberspace levels start taking from other games instead of just cutting chunks straight out of Generations levels (even if they are still using those same skins, and ultimately the elements are still just repurposed from other games. Still, I didn't expect a Radical Highway level, that was pretty cool. Although, not really balanced for Boost mechanics)

Random thought: I'm curious how the japanese fanbase feels about Frontiers's story, as opposed to the English-speaking audience.

Well, how do we gauge the JP Sonic Fanbase?

There are a few regulars in this thread who speak Japanese. Maybe they've seen some of that discourse.

I'm curious what the final boss's speech is like in the Japanese version.

Picked up the cart version of the Switch port of Frontiers. Game came with a medallion/lanyard thingie, the medallion is a ring with a rotating Sonic emblem in the middle.

People tell me that the Japanese audience for Sonic screws a lot younger than the English audience? Not sure if true, but might lead to some different approaches to dialogue.

The Japanese crowd might be thinking very highly, because over there, Sonic Frontiers just became the fastest-selling mainline Sonic game in a whopping 20 years!

We still winning! grin

Guess those changes worked ...even though it makes Sage's Image Song montage the more perplexing with how Eggman there treated her just as poorly as his other creations.

Knew Frontiers was going to be good. Found out it was excellent. Good sales confirm it.

Oh my god, this might be Sonic's first major win in a long time.

Hopefully Sonic team keeps up this streak.

I wonder what it was about this one.

I didn't see a cuddly new companion (granted the Koco are more endearing to me than the Wisps), didn't see a new character, didn't see an obvious story thread beyond "Sonic running around a forest." Those were my shallow reasons.

We got a Modern Sonic title that tried something different and got praise for it.

Man hell really has frozen over.

That's another thing about Frontiers I forgot to gush about. I love the freaking Koco. They remind me of the robots from Nier Automata blended with the Nightopians from Nights.

[up]When you say you didn't see a new character, you mean in some sense that doesn't apply to Sage?

I didn't see Sage in the initial trailer/teaser. I wasn't keeping up with all of them, but compared to the last few times where Classic Sonic and CAC were front and center, the Six, Chip, etc Sage was pretty mysterious.

What helps is that Frontiers is not really competing with any other platformer or game of its type at the moment, its gotten decently strong marketing for a release on a very dominant system in Japan (the Switch), and given Japan's preference for a more serious Sonic, it was selling itself on just that.

[up][up] Looks pretty good. Pirate, Prehistoria, and not!SatAM is a nice variety of settings to start with. Pirate Girl Rouge is something I never knew I needed.

Remember Eggman’s final line from the Twitter Takeover? Well, it seems like it may actually happen.

Right now I’m just humming the 8-bit Sonic 2 Bad Ending theme.
