Yeller_king, in The soundtrack occasionally gets stuck in my head all these years later

Diddy Kong wins due to it having a single player campaign.

MudMan, in Sonic Galactic Is So Good "It Could Stand As An Official Sega Product"

I'm always a bit weirded out by these super good fangames that clearly are a sprite swap away from being viable commercial products because... man, just make your own game, you clearly can do it. But at the same time, it would likely not be nearly as popular without it being skinned as a Sonic or a Castlevania or whatever, which is a bit of a bummer.

In other news, go play Penny's Big Breakaway. It's good.

mesamunefire,

Freedom planet 1/2 is also good.

MudMan,

Yeah, for sure. I find it needs less of a defense because it was an early indie darling built on top of a fangame foundation, while Penny's ended up being a bit of a bomb on the back of not having stuck to the license or the specific set of Sonic mechanics.

Both are worth a try, I'm just saying that Penny's could use the attention more.

weirdo_from_space,

Developer of Sonic Before/After the Sequel actually did that, Spark the Electric Jester. First game is classic Sonic meets Kirby while second and third are Sonic Adventure inspired.

Chozo, in TIL GameCube's d-pad was added at the last moment

I think "last moment" is a bit of a stretch. It may have been weeks before the Space World reveal, but the Space World event was a full year before the console released.

lIlIllIlIIIllIlIlII,

Yes, you are right.

ordellrb, in The soundtrack occasionally gets stuck in my head all these years later

As a kid it was great to have both, they have both multiplayer, with powerups. DiddykongRacing had more Variety in Tracks, with its boats and planes, and Lava,snow and space themed tracks. Both good Games

mesamunefire, in PS1 Games Now Playable on GameCube

Wild times!

For a console that lived a short life the fan base is absolutely amazing.

That looks too good to be an official Sega product.

DarkThoughts,

I was about to say that. Honestly looks better than anything released since the first games on the Mega Drive.

But without it how would I have tainted my opponents after I cheese them off the edge in smash bros?

Of course it is very important to have the start button in an easy to reach location.

lIlIllIlIIIllIlIlII,

I would say that initially they located it there to get some symmetry because aesthetic reasons.

Nutteman, in GTA3 on the Sega Dreamcast is incredible

My dreamcast exclusively runs porn.

DmMacniel, in TIL GameCube's d-pad was added at the last moment

And good that they changed it at the last moment. Sure the D-PAD is super stiff but can you imagine games like Metroid Prime without it?

DannyBoy,

Could put a layer on the C stick like Metroid Prime remastered to have one input handle both visors and beams.

lIlIllIlIIIllIlIlII,

I can imagine external developers asking Nintendo for a d-pad.

You should also play black mesa, portal, and alyx
