The 10 Best Sonic Games

-

Few video game characters are as iconic as Sonic the Hedgehog. The speedy little blue blur has been around for over three decades, touching every corner of pop culture along the way, from games, to comics, to TV, to blockbuster movies. But we’re here specifically to celebrate the mainline Sonic game series and pick the best of them. Before we start, let’s quickly touch upon our criteria. We tried to rank these games based on a combination of historical significance, innovation, and how well these games stand the test of time. Some games, like Sonic Adventure 1 and the original Sonic the Hedgehog, for instance, are obviously super important to the Sonic series and set the foundation for both 2D and 3D Sonic games to follow, but we felt like they both didn’t quite hold up as well as their sequels when judged by a modern standard, which was why they just missed this list. The 10 games on this list are the ones we feel are the best examples of both classic and modern Sonic style. So w...

Nintendo Works to Fix Game-Breaking Paper Mario Issue

-
Nintendo has promised to fix a game-breaking issue in Paper Mario: The Origami King that can keep players from progressing through the story. Light location spoilers for Paper Mario: The Origami King follow. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/05/14/paper-mario-the-origami-king-announcement-trailer"] On Mario and Olivia's journey to the last streamer in The Origami King, players have to collect four stamps for their Spring of Rainbows VIP card in the Shangri-Spa area. After you collect all four stamps from four different hot springs, you gain access to a secret fifth hot spring. However, once you enter the fifth hot spring, the Spring of Rainbows, you lose your VIP pass. And, the other four hot springs will not give Mario a second stamp, meaning it's impossible to regain the VIP pass after you've already used it. If you try to re-enter the Spring of Rainbows, Mario will once again be asked to show his VIP pass. So, if you leave the Spring of Rainbows b...

Nintendo Isn't Expecting Hyrule Warriors to Become Its Own Series After Age of Calamity

-
Despite being the second game of its kind, Nintendo isn't expecting Hyrule Warriors to become its own spin-off series after Age of Calamity – but we could see another installment if the right idea comes along. IGN got the chance to speak to Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity producer Yosuke Hayashi, and I asked whether – after two Hyrule Warriors installments – they were considering making this its own standalone series, alongside mainline Zelda games. "I do think circumstances could align like this again," explained Eiji Aonuma, "but I don't think we're expecting this to become a series. We'd make that decision based on its creative merits, just like we did this time." "I think it depends on whether we get an idea that'll make all the fans happy!", added Hayashi. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/hyrule-warriors-age-of-calamity-review"] I asked if, on a wider level, Nintendo was now looking to put together more spin-offs between its mainline Zelda games. Again, Aonuma explained that it was taking an 'idea-first' approach:  "Echoing my answer to the question above, we're always looking for valuable creative projects, but those only come about when several different conditions align. So, I think it's hard for us to have conscious control over the frequency." So if this game came about through a good idea popping up, who had that original idea? "It was Fujibayashi-san, the director of [Breath of the Wild], who initially came up with the concept," Aonuma tells me. "Fujibayashi-san thought that telling the untold story of the Great Calamity from BotW would only be possible with a system like Warriors where players could come together to fight against vast armies, so he put together a project proposal and sent it to me. His enthusiasm for the project pushed me to consult with Hayashi-san." "We had been having internal discussions about the what would be next for Hyrule Warriors," Hayashi continues, "but we weren't able land on any good ideas. 'Using Warriors to tell the story of the Great Calamity' was a great concept, so it didn't take us long to start pulling the project together." [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=hyrule-warriors-age-of-calamity-screenshots-and-art&captions=true"] That fusion of Dynasty Warriors and Breath of the Wild ended up being a potent one - we awarded the game a 9/10 review, saying its "hugely varied roster of characters, solid combat mechanics, fun progression and clever adaptation of Breath of the Wild’s vision of Hyrule is a joy to play and discover".

As good as it is, hopefully Age of Calamity won't have to tide us over for too long until The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2. Sadly, we still have to wait a bit longer for updates on that one.
