Release it on a Friday? That's brilliant!

I'll be getting the Switch version, I lack the patience for the PC port.

Better now than after release when bad reviews hit and returns are made on Steam...

Then I'll get the Switch port out of spite.

Playing it handheld mode is rather enjoyable. I'll be passing up the PC version. Honestly? I'm surprised they skipped the phone market..

Meh, touchscreen controls are often shite anyways, fingers cover up half the screen most of the time

That's true but it's simple enough of a game.

Does anyone else have problems with the Switch version? The home and the power button responses are pretty bad while playing the game.

I hate touch controls, controllers are always better for smartphones

I've noticed this. My only real gripe so far. Liveable.

Ofc that's not too awful, but I hope that this will get fixed.

If you have tmobile they are offering a free steam code for the game through the tmobile tuesday app.

Im not much of a sonic fan but I might buy it later in the year. (Christmas maybe?)

I've come across 2 bugs in the game. 1 is frustrating, the other just seems kind of embarrassing on the developer's part.

This was the embarrassing bug:

Some quality floating spikes there guys.


But this was the bug that sucked:

As you can see I was about 6 minutes into this level, I must have been near the end, and Sonic and Tails get on this spinning thing above one of those hover dealies and I was completely stuck. No matter what I pushed or did, I couldn't move or do anything, I was just stuck spinning around endlessly. I had no choice but to restart the level. i could have waited to see if there was a time up in the game, I'm honestly not sure if there is or not, and i didn't want to wait 4 minutes doing nothing in hopes that it might time over for me and bring me to my last checkpoint, so I restarted instead.

lol be careful when entering the (SPOILER!) Stardust Speedway Act 1 Mini-boss. If you enter rolling it, you softlock yourself until time runs out.

To be fair, I only had to wait 3 minutes, was already at 6+ mins by the time that happened.

Other than that, Home button seems to be VERY laggy, but who gives a damn, it's the home button.

God damn it, why couldn't Amazon have delivered my special edition today when I had a day off.

I don't see why the console releases were deemed read on the 15th, but not the PC, they're the same game lol.

they gotta add dat DRM

DRM can suck it.

or that one

i'm up to the lava level with not 1 problem so far except the home button lag.

or that one

No, I'm not sure I could even recreate the problem, but it happened and it sucked. Oh i forgot that when I beat act one of Chemical Plant Zone, I got an error on my Switch and it booted me out of the game. I had to start Act 1 over, it didn't save despite just beating it before the error.

if you want this you have to update
