[Review] Sonic Frontiers
Posted on 2 years ago by Nicholas Serpa in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release Date: November 8, 2022
Developer: Sonic Team
Publisher: SEGA
How can a game that is so messy, so bloated, and so technically inadequate be so much fun? That is the question that I’ve been wrestling with throughout my playthrough of Sonic Frontiers, SEGA’s latest attempt (of which there have been many) to try and revitalize the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise and introduce the Blue Blur to both new and lapsed fans. It’s Sonic’s first true open world (or open zone) game, and with that comes a lot of interesting ideas to attempt to reinvent the structure of what a Sonic game can be. But while Frontiers can be a blast at times, it also constantly gets in its own way at almost every turn, hindered by poor visual performance, bloated mechanics and bland world design that lacks a unique identity.

Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in GameCube, News | 0 comments
Masahiro Sakurai published a new video on YouTube today going over the creation of Super Smash Bros. Melee.
Sakurai mentioned how the goal for the project was to “power up Smash Bros. by leaps and bounds”. That meant going all out with content, making tons of improvements compared to the original N64 title, and more. Since the team was able to create something for the GameCube which had higher specs, a better development environment, and optical media, they could offer better graphics and orchestral arrangements for various tracks.
