Sonic games for nintendo switch11/18/2023 ![]() ![]() The game got mixed reviews, mostly because people thought the game was way too easy for a turn based RPG. Sonic Chronicles is an entirely new entry in the series for it’s a turn based RPG that was developed by BioWare (the makers of Mass Effect). The story is that Sonic gets transported to her dimension and helps her out with her version of Dr. Outside of the clever way to use the screens, the games also featured a new character, Blaze the Cat, who was also playable. ![]() The Rush games would do pretty well in the eyes of both fans and critics for its visuals and 2D gameplay. Meaning if Sonic was running on the lower screen and would get launched to the top the action would continue on the top screen. What makes these games a standout is that the games utilize both screens of the DS so that no space goes unused. The Rush games, like the Advance games, go back to classic 2D style Sonic gameplay. The games in question are Sonic Rush, Sonic Rush Adventure and Sonic Chronicles: Dark Brotherhood. The DS only saw 3 Sonic titles, and while 2 are true to form Sonic games, the other is something new entirely. Kinda funny how Nintendo got the game first huh? Sonic Heroes was released on the GameCube on Januwhile the PlayStation 2 and Xbox wouldn’t see the game until January 27th. Still it was a solid outing and, fun fact, Sonic’s first game that spanned all the major systems at the time, came out on the GameCube first. While it’s great that both Adventure games are now on the GameCube, with new features for the Chao Garden and GBA features, not much was done to fix the voice acting or the dated camera controls. Same can be said for Sonic Adventure: DX Director’s Cut. While many gamers liked Battle, critics were tougher on it. The graphics were also given a bit of an upgrade but a main complaint was the camera controls. Sonic Adventure 2: Battle was marketed for the game’s multiplayer aspect as new modes and character skins were added to the GameCube version. ![]() Which we won’t talk about here.Īfter SEGA made the announcement about leaving the console business, you could imagine the shock from SEGA fans when it was announced that an updated version of Sonic Adventure 2 would be a GameCube exclusive. This game did get mixed reviews, but was much better received than the GBA port of the original Genesis game. While this isn’t Sonic’s first foray into the fighting genre, it was definitely odd to see a brawler like this on the GBA. This title is different because it’s an arena style brawler where you fight other characters. Besides the Advance games the other title worth mentioning is Sonic Battle which came out in 2004. Think like back in the Genesis games where Tails can tag along, except in Advance 3 you could have any team member you wanted and new abilities would be yours to use. It was a good transition to the GBA for Sonic and in Sonic Advance 3 a new mechanic was introduced with Teams. THQ developed the games and some argue it’s some of the best work they have ever done. Since the GBA was technically a 32-bit system the games looked gorgeous and the sprite work was impeccable. As to why they were so well received it was mostly because these games were newer 2D Sonic titles. With the first game to come out in 2002 the series was very well received and all three titles have great Metacritic scores. While not the first time the blue blur was on a handheld, the Sonic Advance games for the GBA showed promise for Sonic. ![]()
