shhhh... brain cells escaping.

*advertising tool*

i guess soap style shoes are coming into some new games,there is ratchet and clank 1 and 2 + some sonic games.
so get over it...

nah dude, the original side-scrolling ones were awesome.

Sonic games looked fast and all when i was kid and that was the only special thing in them...but now i c that they move like snails on the screen and theyre not that fast at all...so theyre pretty crappy.

so what makes a fat cunt of a plumber collecting coins any better?

Mario started it all. Plus, there was something of a storyline to the game, plus powerups and stuff to collect. And enemies to kill; I never saw shit in Sonic to destroy

Thank you, Wesker, for saying what we were all thinking. Well...except mart.

Actually, Sonic 1 came out around the time Mario 3 came out, and Sonic sold soooo much more than Mario and then Nintendo responded by bringing out the SNES. So Sonic was on the top of his game, and when SNES did come out, Sonic only trailed behind by a little. I would have to go with Sega games over Nintendo... Sonic, Toy Commander, bah, anything on Dreamcast made by Sonic Team or Sega is AMAZING.

Without going into detail, or trying to get into any argument involving which computer game is better, I also agree with mart. I was merely asking him to prove his point because I know he's got an answer for everything.

But yeah, Sonic is...alright, and mario is quality. Please don't say you're all loving sonic up because he slides down a couple of rails on the dreamcast? jesus.

fordy, i wouldn't be so sure.

sega only took a 10 year break, they said that IF they do make a new system, it would be in 10 years. So we'll see in 2012. :)

Fordy I wouldn't dispute what systems Sega releases their games to. It's very simple if you THINK about what they do.

Sega has always been about games. Ask anyone who's into video games and the answer will always be the same (Excluding fanboys)

However Sega never made the best consoles. The Dreamcast was revolutionary, released before the PS2,Xbox,or GC.

The first "Next-gen" console to hit the market. Sega's first system since the saturn(Which btw never had a real sonic game) so some people were skeptical, but that passed and many owned the system, the Dreamcast destroyed the crappy N64 and played excellently well against PSX's large fanbase/game library.

That's until every other company started to release their next-gen systems after the Dreamcast. Obviously these new systems had way better processing power and were a little easier to develop for, so the developers moved over to the better consoles (By performance, NOT games).

The Dreamcast died and Sega made the best decision they evermade... They went multi-platform. Sega games are released across every platform now.

Ok you say Sega is sucking up to Nintendo by releasing games for their system? Have you thought what games were released?

-Sonic Adventure DX
-Sonic Adventure 2(Battle)
-Sonic Mega Collection

Yeah thats right. Those are all PORTS! The first brand spanking new Sonic game to be released is Sonic Hero's being released on all systems (PS2,GC,Xbox)

Sega sucking up to Nintendo? Shyeah riiiight.

Now Sega as a company rocks. They have made some of the best games ever. Sonic just so happens to be one of them, So let's not forget the countless other games Sega has created.

Although, Mario and Sonic can't really be compared anymore as their game's have varied style. Mario focusing on puzzles and Sonic focusing on fast paced Action.

Fat plumber that takes his time, Fast animal that loves action.

Sales of Sonic games are not low, by any standards especially since Sonic is known to be one of the all time favorite video game characters.

Once again I am not saying that Mario sucks. I am just defending Sonic here in saying that he dosn't suck either. Both game characters have their up's and down's and apeal to different audiences.

Oh and Fordy, I love Sonic because of his gameplay-- It's amazing. Sliding down poles in SA2 was just a bonus :P

Sega is taking its last breaths,now they only can make Mc Donalds toys and
one game for phone called N-gage. but nintendo isnt doing much better either,
they have the best console on today.
the X-box but it has only halo and thats it. Game cube is not a good console but it has most of the newest games today.Playstation 2 is nw propably best console AND it has plenty of good games.

is it just me, or is the NINTENDO gamecube nintendo's system. (alone) xbox is microsoft if im not mistaken?

If nintendo had the "best console on today" wouldn't you think they would be doing much better..? Scalier, learn to talk, please. It's making me dumb.

thats because the game cube has no perks to it. actually, i'd rather not have a gamecube or anything resembling it.

For one, the discs are so freakin small.. what the hell is that? stupid

2: its got a handle... what the hell is that? stupid

3: no good games.. end of that one

and 4: they screwed up by producing a horrible mario game, which dessimated its fan base. if they would have made a good mario game, i think it would be more popular now. but they didnt, and thats their fault.. stupid nintendo

Erm, so how come I have a GC and a list of some damn good games like Timesplitters 2, THUG, Mario Kart, Soul Calibur 2, and Zelda to name a few. No good games my arse.

Wesker knows far too much about this topic...I feel he needs a bit more of a life.

Did i say that? Prick.

All i said was that the GC has a good range of titles after someone slagged off their range of games.

and for something slightly on topic...

..i downloaded sonic advance for my GBA, It is pretty crap, but i captured the picture of him pulling what looks to me like a Mizuo down some dirty rail.

Oh yeah Dario, ONE magazine is going to give you a completely unbiased view of the gaming industry. Man, you're a retard

Sweatstance, Fordy

err mart, how can you call the difference between a sweatstance and a mizuo if all you can see is the grind? Peencraft.

And considering the game is a 2-D lump of wank on my right hand, it's not possible to tell which side he tackles it from, so lets just call it a crap mizuo.

True dat mart..... ive only been on this site for a day now but ive been readin past forums. its hella funny how hella people are going off on jordan =P i wish i started b4 so i could really know why people are talking crap

C.S. is the shit on PC, which is by far the best gaming device, C.S. is lame on xbox unless you have xbox live.

i used to have xbox live, but i started doing pc gaming, and i never looked back. pc = best.

Don't personally know what you're all arguing about. Both gameplay styles have evolved over the years and are completely different. To each, their own. I like them both personally, but I have a siding for Sonic because it portays me: Speed, Heavy Action... and the discovery of SOAP shoes. >_>;

I know this is Old as hell but

WOW. this argument was uncalled for.
THEY BOTH ROCK!

Two totally diff styles so why bother comparing. Mario flys and runs. Sonic Soaps and runs Ok the end. LOL.

You wanna see mario soap?
do ya?
Buy a costume and put it on and Soap mann and you'll see Mario Soap LOL.
Peace

so uh...how bout that megaman...lol. I like them all...zelda, mario, sonic, megaman, i've beat all of them. but i must say...knuckles has always been my fav. since i was a kid...i've never been to fond of tails...he's just...a puss...

ALright, this thread is over three years old. I don't see the point in having revived it just to say that it was uncalled for, so let's just let it die again

Why the hell did u bring this thread up agian?!

they actually crouch to go faster. and i brought it up because i just couldnt stand seeing people argue between mario and sonic and not comment. ... go ahead and drop it if you want. im done here. unless someone ticks me off. ... .

I hate to be the one to keep this going, but I assume that Tasslehoff has never seen a single Mario game since before Super Mario RPG on the SNES. In fact, as far as I can recall, Super Mario 64 was out well in advance of that whacktastic Sonic game that appeared on the Dreamcast

Let's all face it, Sega did have some of the best thing, even the first portable full system (by full system, i mean not like gameboy which was a downgrade). They had that one system that played full sega games on the go. Also the first color light up hand held screen with gamegear.

They also had one of the first 3D gaming systems with sega saturn, and dreamcast.

But in the end, there are too many gaming systems, and sega didn't do a great job advertising and in marketing, cuz' nintendo still won out. I am glad they went multiplatform, becuase now everyone can get those great games. I have a gamecube, and thanks to it i can plan almost all the sonic games :D I think that although Sega really was one of the greater gaming systems, the only way to stay afloat was to go multiplatform, and I for one am glad.

I agree with mart from way above (I didn't bother to read ll this crap) anyways nowa days the sonic games are crap. the original ones for genisis was way better.
