Mario_Friend1982 | 176 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Today is Sonic the Hedgehog 3's 30th Anniversary. How should we celebrate it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaMan52 | 2,450 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Guess I might as well play Sonic 3, but what platform should I choose? Probably Genesis. But maybe Genesis, GameCube, and Switch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDIRunner | 2,744 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 (edited) If I have time, I will try to pop it in and play it tonight (most likely the Genesis version on the Mega Sg). I always preferred Sonic 2 over 3, but 3 is still a great game. The other question to ask is, do you play it by itself, or locked on to S&K?

I think it's valid to play through just the Sonic 3 portion if you're in the mood for a quick gaming fix. Snap on the &K for the full course treatment. And, for the REAL degenerates among us, fire up Sonic and Knuckles solo, like the animal you are! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koifish | 556 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 I replayed S3 to completion in 2022. In hindsight, Sonic 3 was ridiculously easy compared to 1, 2, and CD. It was also full of "blast processing"-esque flash over substance moments. It's weird how much Sonic 3 shares in common with the far less favored sequels in the 2000s and onward. If I could name one key difference, it's that Sonic 3 feels more like a 2D action game you have control over, which also happens to have many gratuitous cool moments, whereas some later games might as well be roller coasters. Also, I hate the ending of Launch Base. Riding in eggman's dumb turd floater takes almost a full minute of in-game clock time, which I learned can and will kill you for time over. Just feels like a bad idea, though as we know Sonic 3 had a few bad ideas... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDIRunner | 2,744 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 I hate to say it, but playing Sonic 3 the other night just reminded me how much more I prefer Sonic 2 over 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
