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...

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Creative Director Discusses the Scene Everyone Can't Wait to See

-

Spoilers ahead for the original Final Fantasy 7 and potentially Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth!

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth creative director Tetsuya Nomura has opened up about that one scene everyone can't wait to see play out, saying that he was "able to do what I truly wanted to show in this title."

We are obviously talking about one of the most iconic scenes in the history of gaming - the death of Aerith by Sephiroth - and while Nomura wasn't going to reveal how this scene will play out in Rebirth, he did share with Game Informer some thoughts behind the decision in the original game and this new remake.

"Beginning with the original Final Fantasy VII, when we had started working on it, it was already decided from the get-go that 'life' would be the central theme," creative director Tetsuya Nomura says. "I knew that we had to depict life and death within this title.

"Prior to Final Fantasy VII, there have been other titles where characters have experienced tragedy, but many of them have come back or been revived in some ways. But I believe that loss is something that happens unexpectedly, and it's not something so dramatic or drawn out, but is something in which a person that you have just conversed with is suddenly gone and never to come back. I believe that the person who dies should not return in this title, and that is what we did with the original."

For Rebirth, Nomura is very proud of what the team came up and believes "the way we have depicted it brings about a new emoition and a new feeling for both players who have played the original Final Fantasy VII and newcomers." As previously mentioned, Nomura also added that he was "able to do what I truly wanted to show in this title.

While we don't yet know if Aerith will make it to the credits of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, it has been confirmed that this game will end with that fateful encounter at The Forgotten Capital. Along the way, as director Naoki Hamaguichi reveals, "players will see the characters interact and deepen their bonds with each other. That is the focal point."

We don't have too much longer to wait for the answer to this question, as Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will be released on PS5 on February 29, 2024. To help with the wait, have a look at our hands-on impressions of part two of the FF7 remake trilogy.

For more, be sure to check out seven reasons why Final Fantasy VII Rebirth might let you save Aerith, how the original Final Fantasy VII Remake already started veering into its own extremely meta path, and our documentary - Resurrecting Aerith - about the urban myths surrounding her death and the fans who have spent 25 years trying to rewrite her fate.
