Date played: December 1st
Platform: 3DS
Session fun rating: 8/10
Sega has been an amazing job with their 3DS retro releases, adding 3D effects and lots of fun little options, like saving anywhere or playing the Japanese version of the game. I bought the 3D versions of Sonic 1 and 2 and played a bit of the first game.
You know, people say that the original Sonic games don't hold up anymore, but I still like them a lot. Sure, they are nowhere as awesome as old Mario games, but they are still enjoyable, challenging platformers. I played through the Green Hill Zone and most of the Marble Zone. Green Hill is fucking iconic, that's for sure. It has lots of speedy areas, rolling hills and crumbling cliffs. Marble Zone is full of moving platforms, lava waterfalls and spikes. I'm enjoying this a lot more because of the handy quick save feature, which reduces frustration a lot and makes lives unimportant... Plus, the 3D effect looks real nice, so that's cool.
