Sonic Wild Fire (Sega)
IGN announcement: revolution.ign.com/articles/706/706961p1.html
Gamespot interview: www.gamespot.com/wii/action/sonicrevolution/news.html?sid=6149693

Not much known about the game so far except for having an Arabian Night theme and Sonic finally getting back to having a solo career. What I think is interesting is that it's a totally different title from the Sonic game that will be appearing on the PS3 and 360. Also, there's the recent news that Yuji Naka has left Sonic Team to form an independant studio. The Sonic games haven't had the best track record for the past few years, so maybe it needs some fresh talent.

IGN's Mark Bozon got a hands-on with this game, and the results are apparently very good!

Since the very nature of E3 demands quick play-through sessions, we can't wait to get even more time with Sonic Wild Fire this week. We can say with confidence, however, that it is by far one of the most complete and well-rounded demos in Nintendo's booth, and everyone within an eyeshot of the screens were staring at them while in line for their own demo. The action is fast and beautiful, and the gameplay is back to how it should be. More specific tweaking will need to be done to the control, but only on a very minimal level. In fact, the gameplay was solid enough that we actually forgot we were using a new controller. It feels natural and controls are astonishingly tight compared to some of the other demos around. Compared to other 3D Sonic titles in the past, this one is really no contest. Sonic Wild Fire has resurrected the franchise, and we can only hope the full version will be as fun as it was today on the showroom floor. Nicely done, Sega.

The PS3 and 3690 Sonic looks like Shadow all over aging.
	Was going to make a "change" American Kirby, but I'm not that skilled at Fireworks.

But it sounded like Wild Fire didn't have that issue.

nocturnal YL: I took a look at my past Switch games and found that more than 40% of the games I played contain some kind of fishing. Oct 21, 2024 11:36:02 GMT -5 *

nocturnal YL: A bit late, but I started Aiyoku no Eustia. I have nothing to say about the story yet because the demo lasted 6 hours and I haven't got past that. There's no save data transfer feature, fast-forwarding takes a while, and I stopped to read at some points. Nov 3, 2024 6:47:31 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: It has the best file management feature I've seen. 60 normal save slots, 6 autosaves, and 12 more slots automatically saved at decision points. And the save data can be moved, deleted and given comments. It's the most flexible I've seen on console. Nov 3, 2024 6:50:03 GMT -5

Nester the Lark: I think I've gotten a better handle on the combat in Ys X, but I still don't think it feels quite as good as in Ys VIII and IX. Nov 9, 2024 15:18:51 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: Interesting; that's the opposite of what I think. Which part are you in now, by the way? Nov 10, 2024 5:44:57 GMT -5

Nester the Lark: I'm just at the beginning of chapter 7. I've seen very divided opinions on the combat among Ys fans. I don't dislike it, but maybe I'm just used to Ys games having faster combat. Nov 10, 2024 8:38:57 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: Aiyoku no Eustia is quite something. I thought I've somewhat hardened myself having gone through dark stories like Fire Emblem (Jugdral, Hoshido/Nohr, Fódlan) and Surge Concerto, but I'm still stunned. (Still doesn't beat real life, though.) Nov 10, 2024 15:17:23 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: Aiyoku no Eustia has branched endings, and I've reached two. I'm surprised to see three familiar names in the credits: Ceui (OP vocal in Atelier Lydie & Suelle), Yoshino Nanjo (voice of Kiria in TMS♯FE), Yuu Asakawa (Megurine Luka's voice provider). Nov 14, 2024 14:42:30 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: It'll be quite a while until I'm done with this game. Each individual arc takes at least 6 hours, and there are extra stories. I recall reading somewhere that this game takes 60 hours to finish. Nov 14, 2024 15:02:04 GMT -5

Nester the Lark: Quick update: I'm starting chapter 9 in Ys X. Overall, I've been enjoying the game quite a bit. Nov 15, 2024 9:12:40 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: Ah, almost there! Nov 15, 2024 9:33:20 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: I will go offline for a few days. My family is travelling to South Korea. I should be back around next Friday (22 Nov). Nov 16, 2024 4:32:51 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: I haven't been to Korea for more than two decades, so I look forward to it. Nov 16, 2024 4:36:43 GMT -5

Nester the Lark: Have a nice trip! Nov 16, 2024 8:41:09 GMT -5

Nester the Lark: Just finished Ys X. I'll write up my thoughts when I get a chance. Nov 21, 2024 15:49:57 GMT -5

Nester the Lark: Looking back over my previous Ys rankings, it's funny how most of the numbered entries are ranked in descending order: VI > Seven > VIII > IX. So, does Ys X buck the trend?? 🤔 Nov 21, 2024 15:55:24 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: Looking forward to your thoughts! Nov 22, 2024 8:33:42 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: I'm back home! It's been a pretty fun trip. Being able to see falling leaves on a mountain path full of trees in person made the trip worth taking. Nov 22, 2024 8:34:56 GMT -5

Nester the Lark: Welcome back! Nov 22, 2024 9:11:24 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: At the final part of Aiyoku no Eustia. It'll probably still take me a good while as there are some extras to go through. The story is supposed to be dark and dissatisfying; I wonder if I'll dislike it like with the story of Void Terrarium 2? Nov 27, 2024 14:42:59 GMT -5
