Paramount Pictures has taken a nostalgic approach to promoting the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog 3 movie by creating a fully functional Sega Genesis cartridge as part of its press kit.
I look forward to someone dumping the ROM so I can load it up on my emulator once, mess around with it for five minutes, go “huh,” and forget about it forever afterward but still keep sitting in my emulation folders for completeness’ sake along with Austin Powers Pinball, The New Adventures of Mary-Kate and Ashley, and those weird naked Japanese mahjong games.
The big question is, does it add knuckles when you put it to Sonic&Knuckles cartridge?
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck that sounds cool as hell. I doubt a single media outlet will EVER put them in a genesis. And I doubt any collectors will ever put one in a genesis. Youtube streamers are the only ones who would ever put them in the genesis, as part of their video…but only then.
“Hey guys we made this cool thing, that does this cool retro function!”
"Whoa!!! That’s awesome!!!
…let’s all collectively NEVER use it."
I believe I saw a shorts video from IGN playing it. It has a couple of posters, some voice lines from the characters, and a mini game, where you run from Shadow, that you can’t win or lose.
That abomination they are now calling Sonic on a mock up of old box art makes my childhood vomit.
Grow up, your childhood hasn’t been affected one iota by new things.
The fact that Sonic is still around, kicking goals, being loved by children everywhere, and making Mario look incompetent; well this makes my childhood smile.
I never would have even dreamed I’d be buying Sonic figures for my children.
making Mario look incompetent
Lol that’s funny. Main line Mario games are matchless. Best performers there are (though Astro Bot does come close).
This is from someone who grew up with a Genesis. There is a reason Sega stopped making consoles…
