Atleast they tried: Sonic genesis for the GBA

A few reasons why I think the sonic 1 (megadrive game) port to the GBA sucks. Badly made video but it gets the point across!

dude this game is OLDSCHOOL... u cant expect it to be 100% perfect...even games out this year still have problems... try programming your own game and making it better then.......

[mnprg]

As said by others, this was simply a poor port. If you google around there is a homebrew effort to port Sonic 1 to the GBA and the demo available is far, far more authentic and plays better!

For what it's worth I can program games and I believe I could do better than this...

[kuronogantzryu]

You probably have a ROM on your comp. I have the game, some of the stuff you said was right, but the music and gameplay is decent if not good

[mnprg]

Yes a ROM was used to create this video. But I have played the real cartridge, and others have too and they agree with the problems I've found.

You're entitled to your opinion ofcourse - glad someone managed to get some fun out of the game!

Now they are making it again on the DS... along with the three other originals. Be prepared to make another video...

[mnprg]

Oh... no!

Hopefully they have learnt from this mistake and it will be good? I really hope it will be.

If not, there will be another video....

dude this game is OLDSCHOOL... which means that they should have ported it completely fine. This isn't an entirely new game at all, it's a remake. Seriously, the game is fine on the Genesis and the GBA is at least twice as powerful as the Genesis. There's no way that the GBA can't handle it. The developers plainly just did not care.

@whatugundo Normally I allow idiots like you to make a complete fuck ass out of yourself, but you NEED to hear this. You don't know WHO (some shitty 3rd party company, not Sega) POORLY programmed this port, and Sega had the audacity to sell it in its obviously unfinished and shitty state. It's more to it than it being 'old school'. Plenty of 'old school' games were ported - but they performed MUCH better than this. Think next time before talking and educate yourself as well. :P

@mnprg what color is your gba?

[thecommonerror]

if you play it on the GBA there is no screen flicker.

[mzxrules]

The problem is obvious.

The GBA has no blast processing.

Physics, how would Sonic be albe to run up Loop de loops then. And play it on the real Gameboy cause when I play it on the Game Boy, the game works with non of this

[bad1boy34]

"It's 2D, with some features similar to the classics. What more do you want? Oh wait..."

Physics, don't you have half-decent comprehension skills?

"Despite the fact that everything you're doing is exactly what a Sonic "fan" (a person who bitches about everything) would do."

Nope, just the physics and how Sonic 4 wasn't a classic gameplay experience.

Anything else you want to nitpick at?

@bad1boy34:

"Sonic 4 was supposed to be a classic gameplay experience."

It's 2D, with some features similar to the classics. What more do you want? Oh wait...

"I'm under the impression that you're still a child, at least I WAS one."

What?

"it's kind of pathetic how you prejudice me both as a fan and as a person."

Despite the fact that everything you're doing is exactly what a Sonic "fan" (a person who bitches about everything) would do.

[bad1boy34]

@DinerSals Sonic 4 was supposed to be a classic gameplay experience.

If all previous titles were like Sonic 4 then I couldn't be disappointed, period.

"If" isn't an argument because it doesn't accurately reflect the current situation and isn't a fact. You should either stop deflecting or stop replying - it's kind of pathetic how you prejudice me both as a fan and as a person.

By the way, I'm under the impression that you're still a child, at least I WAS one.

[DinerSals]

@bad1boy34:

Yes it is.

You're just an unpleasable cunt who wants everything exactly how it was when you were a child BECAUSE you were a child.

If the times were switched, you'd want everything to be like Sonic 4.

[bad1boy34]

@DinerSals Because it's not the "classic gameplay experience" that was promised.

Like I said, you're a bad troll, so stop trying.
