    Hi there! I'm Mike Arcade, and I'd like to welcome you to Free Scribes.

    Enjoy your time here, and if you have any questions just let me or one of the other mods know. :)

    The Day has Finally Arrived, Sonic Frontiers is out! Keep in mind not to spoil everyone, and for those who have it let us know how the gameplay is.

    We got ourselves a prequel short, and it’s really cool. Great voice acting for Knuckles too.

    Hey we got something more substantial, and a release date for December 15th! Also, apparently in this show Rouge is a part of Sonic’s crew, which is pretty interesting as that’s not ever really the case. No complaints on my part though, that’s pretty neat. We also get a look at some Alternate Counterparts as well. Looks like things went bad for Tails in the Tail department. But really, I’m shocked the show runners got away with that. Considering how uppity they were back when Rise of Lyric was in development. On that note, Ay Yo did Amy get Mostly Roboticized!? So yeah, any thoughts? Let us know.

    https://shc.zone/entries/contest2022 I am a fool, FOOL I SAY. X_X this has been going on for the 2nd half of this month and I’ve totally dropped the ball on it. Worst of all…this is a REALLY good SHC this year, don’t mind my blunder and seriously check this out!

    https://tailschannel.com/idw-sonic/solicitations/solicitation-for-sonic-scrapnik-island-issue-2/ So I know this is old news, and we don’t post a LOT on IDW Sonic, but it bears to mention the HE’S BACK. MECHA SONIC …as in, from Sonic 3 & Knuckles. The one featured in all the Mario Ball Z sprite movies. XP Seriously though, this will be an awesome mini series to check out. Mostly all of their mini series have been awesome, though I didn’t care much for Bad Guys though.

    http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQgWtc26Zetc8U863l2UgETOCMlyVtUT3KlLKIWQiUISLByeIsO Does this count or no? XP I’ve been trying to find it, and no dice so far.

    So this happened recently, on Sega of Japan’s Official Sonic Channel, they removed the ages of all the characters. Thank you @Wulfsbane for pointing this out. Any thoughts to this new development?

    A great video from Splash Wave, always loved their videos.

    We got more than just a 10 second teaser here, so that's something. XP

    @MoKat I highly doubt Shin Megami Tensei would be censored as it’s only on the Mega Drive, and menus aside it’s all in Japanese. Unless you can read it, yeah not very accessible to anyone else sadly. It’s a shame as I like SMT1. Played the SNES English Patch, although now there’s a PS1 English Patch so that makes up for it. I’d like to get the Genesis version if I can, as the Western versions tend to go for a lot more in the after market usually. Unless the Mega Drive version does have English versions of Lunar 1, 2, and Popful Mail. But I highly doubt it.

    Here’s the complete list of Japan’s Mega Drive Mini 2, which is a great collection for those over there. Although it’s a real bummer that we didn’t get Popful Mail or Lunar 1 & 2. My second biggest gripe about the Genesis Mini 2 lacking those games, and apparently not every game will get their alternate versions via language switching. Which might mean you can’t play those games in English should you get the Japanese mini console. Biggest gripe of mine is how the Genesis Mini 2 has far less CD titles over Japan’s. I don’t understand why StarBlade didn’t get in, and really we could had a few more like Sol-Feace, Time Gal, Earthworm Jim CD, and Panic. I mean there were more options outside of licensed games like Spider-Man or Terminator. Also, Snatcher really can’t catch a break can it? I wasn’t expecting a Mortal Kombat game for us, or Eternal Champions CD, as they would have raised the rating up to an M. But they’re still missed. I will say that we do kinda get made up for it with more Genesis titles, so it’s a give and take on what you like more. I can say that Genesis wise that we got a great line up, bar one dud. While I do like Clayfighter, it really shouldn’t be on this console, heck they didn’t even use its Tournament Edition. Still, better than seeing Virtua Fighter 2 for the Genesis AGAIN. Overall though? I think it’s a fine Mini Console with a lot of good titles, though not the Sega-CD Rarity Collection many thought it would be. I can’t see there being a 3rd Genesis Mini without some repeat titles, and you really could have it without any 32X titles. So, you guys think this would be cool to have? And what titles would you like to see if we got a 3rd Mini? Let us know.

    I’ve seen this video too, and I do agree to this assessment on how far off Fallout 5 would be released. Although I’d say it all depends on how well it’s engine will function in Starfield. Then we’d get a good assessment on how the next Bethesda releases will be like. I know that’s pretty vague, but it really depends on how Starfield turns out.

    We got the full lineup for both versions of the Genesis Mini 2 everyone! Gotta say, overall we got a lot of good games for both mini consoles. For one, we do indeed get Night Trap. I mean even Japan gets Night Trap, it’s that big of a game, seriously it’s Japanese release on here really surprised me. In the US we got Sewer Shark, which…alright? Really would have preferred Android Assault or Eternal Champions CD over it. Japan got StarCrusier, which is suppose to be a really good game, that did get a fan made English Patch years ago so check it out that way. Both sides got Atomic Runner, Granada, and Ranger-X, all of which are good shooting games so no complaints here. Speaking of, we all got Midnight Resistance, and in the US we got Element Master and Hellfire. The latter two are really good games, though I’m surprised Hellfire made it over Zero Wing. All your base are belong to us anyone? XP To be fair, while I think Hellfire is better than Zero Wing overall, I would have preferred Grind Stormer. Ristar rightfully is in the Genesis Mini 2, along with Herzog Zwei, and we got Desert Strike! Surprised they didn’t go for the Unreleased Sega CD Collection of the Strike Games. Now, as for the Special Games, we got a port of the 1982 Sega game Super Locomotive, which is…ehh. The biggest surprises are quite amazing though. There’s this breakout type game called Devi & Pii, which looks pretty fun, and was made by Iizuka before he went on to work on Sonic 3. Best for last though, is a Vs. Mode Only port of Puyo Puyo Sun! Which so far looks incredible as a Genesis Port. Finally, we got an Actual Updated Port of Space Harrier II with much better scrolling…and the Original Space Harrier for the Genesis apparently included in it! I heard that M2 wanted to make an Arcade Remake of Space Harrier II after their Remake of Fantasy Zone II back in the day, and I gotta say that’s a real nice compromise. Glad to see how it differs from the original. I got a lot more to say later, so until then comment on which version of this console you would like to get.

    UPDATE: The Plot Synopsis is being told to be incorrect to their current plans, so never mind it guys.

    I know right? Unless they’re saving her for The Series on Paramount, an After Credits Scene, or a Shadow Spin-Off, her not showing up is a little strange. On that note, while Big doesn’t have pretty much any narrative weight, how does that coordinate with Amy? Is he like a Big Brother to her? For that matter, I can imagine that Amy could be way different from her game counterpart. Similar to Boom perhaps? Because I can’t imagine her being adapted straight up from the games. We all know that Shadow will be the focus of the movie, as for Metal Sonic, I have a theory. He’ll replace the Biolizard as the big creature in the end of the film for the Hedgehogs to fight. It would streamline things, though everything else is up in the air for now.

    This is a great one with a Guard system, or should I say Reflect System. XP It’s part of the Tale of Alltynex Trilogy of Doujin games. It’s a great indie series from back in the day. While it’s international publisher closed it’s doors recently, a new one took up the rights and the games are still on Steam.

    https://tailschannel.com/sonic-the-hedgehog/movie/sonic-movie-3-synopsis/ There’s a possible early synopsis out that gives a few details as to what we may expect. If anyone has thoughts on this, let us know.

    Next batch of games for the Mega Drive Mini 2. Some pretty good hits overall like Ecco CD and Gain Ground, but pretty low key overall. The new port that surprised me though was SNK’s Viewpoint, which already had a Genesis release! Though the original port was not the best, plagued with slowdown and issues. Still, it’s a nice surprise. I’m excited to see what the last batch will bring, and how the International release will differ. Edit: So Viewpoint here is not an updated version. Nor was its Genesis port bad with slowdown actually, my bad. It’s considered Special Content because this port was never released in the US.

    Been interested in Irena for awhile now, and I await to see how the full game comes to be. This is a real good one, it's also not that difficult. Honestly I'd say it could be a good entry level shooter. @Nagolyou might want to check this one out.
  21. Mike Arcade
    The 16-Bit Remake of Sonic Triple Trouble is out now! From the makers of Sonic Time Twisted, they really upped the ante in terms of quality. Seriously, check this out.
  22. Mike Arcade
    You and me both, though considering from the sound of Starfall Islands, I sincerely doubt it. I’m starting to think that this game is more of a test bed for what they could possibly do in the future, if Sonic Team even has a future at this rate. I want this to be good, but I have my doubts. Can you blame me though?
  23. Mike Arcade
    They’ve released recently a new remaster of Klonoa 1 (it’s Remake) and Klonoa 2 in one package! They’re great platformers whose originals go for quite a lot. Now, they’re affordable for PC and Current Consoles. Check ‘em out! Also, he looks a lot like a Sonic character in the sequel and then on. XP Also, Pac-Man World is getting a remake! Looks really good, although it does replace Ms. Pac-Man sadly due to weird legal issues. This was an old childhood favorite of mine, and it looks better than ever.

    It’s been quite awhile since we had a good Reminiscing about Archie Sonic, in terms of their best moments. So hey, how about we mention our favorite parts of what is still the longest running Video Game based comic ever. A favorite part of mine was the ending of a Post-Reboot story, featuring the Pronghorns Cassia and Clove. Specifically, Clove joined Eggman in order for her younger sister Cassia to hopefully be cured of an unknown illness. Apparently the cybernetics keep it at bay, but that’s not gonna help for too much longer apparently. After a skirmish against Sally and Bunnie, when reporting back to Eggman, he basically states he has no idea how to cure Cassia…and you still have to work for me or else. The end of the issue has Cassia trying to cheer Clove up after the previous fight, all while her older sister is holding back tears, realizing just how screwed they are. It’s a rather dark ending for the comic at that time, and a really tragic one at that. Although considering the Acorn Kingdom doesn’t seem as bad as it was before the Reboot, why didn’t they try to go to the Kingdom for help? Or GUN for that matter. That was the one thing I didn’t get, otherwise I remember it being a little arc.

    So this new render for Sonic Frontiers came out recently. Gotta say it’s probably the best Official render of Sonic I’ve seen in years.
