I played this game a lot as a kid, but I'm kinda scared to revisit it lest I find it shit and override my childhood nostalgia for it.
Should I replay it regardless or just keep it as a memory?
>>
>>12177374
I played it recently. It's not bad but just kind of boring. Not very engaging and it feels like you're just going through the level point to point. I hesitate to use the term kiddieshit but that's what it feels like

Seems to be a common occurrence with this game. I also had been wanting to try out since I was a kid. Finally go around to it and I hated it. I kept thinking the game felt like it was trying to be more like Mario but Sonic Team was still designing it like it was a Sonic game so the whole thing felt at odds with itself. That plus a plethora of annoyances that just kept pilling up. By the time I finished it there was no satisfaction, just relived that I could move on to something else.

Yep.

I like this game but its the epitome of a team going "we're not one trick ponies, check this out!" but its the most mid IP/character imaginable
>>
>>12175523
why does this character cause me discomfort?

>>12181894
You're subconsciously imagining what it'd be like to be fisted by his big hands.

>>12181898
no, i'm imagining him laying eggs after i've fertilized them

Isn't that his sister?

I remember seeing it as a kid and thinking it looked too babyish.

Yeah, so?

Billy has some serious pull.

I played this back in the day until there's a bit you have to roll the egg on a wire track, racing it to the end point before it falls off. IIRC the physics for it were jank. Push it too fast or too slow it just fell through the track, try and finesse it just right and you probably will still fail to meet it in the end. And it's a full on restart if the egg is destroyed. I was working long hours at work at the time and I was just far too fucked to care. Never played the game since and I really would like to revisit it with fresh eyes and see if I was just being an idiot.

You really should give the game another shot. He fucks his sister in it.

>>12175523

Someone at Sonic Team saw James and the Giant Peach (the fucking movie) and they decided to make their own version. The Japanese really did have a bizarre fascination with eggs.

I rented this and can still remember the theme song and opening cutscene. Even as a kid who liked Mario, Sonic, and Animal Crossing I thought it was the gayest, faggiest, Nick Jr diaper-wearing shit imaginable. It is cutesy and happy to such a disgusting degree that it literally makes my fucking skin crawl.

This was probably one of the most high-profile flops on the 'cube. Not sure which one bled the most money between it, Chibi-Robo, Geist, Odama, PN03

Lights out in the world, and who will save the day? Put your 'hat chick' (?) on and roll your egg this way! Billy Hatcher is on the way! Billy Hatcher! Lights on!

For a 15 second jingle, it is fucking c-hatchy! This is the on;y commercial Sega of America made to promote the game.

Is it true that the size of your fist is the same size as your brain?

What happened?

Its barely a game. Such a waste of sonic teams talent. And moving around just isn't fun. I remember seeing th box as a kid and really wanting to play it for some reason. Never did. Happy I didn't
Fuck I wish we got more PSO output by the prime team. Fuck psu and pso2

Segas idea of same art style mascots was way better than how Nintendo handled things, way more marketable for a shared universe now only if SoA had full control instead of those imbicillc Japs who killed the company
>>
>>12188617
If SoA had full control than it would've died earlier, like Atari, Commadore and whatever else.

It was really more of a Sonic Team art style than it was a 'Sega art style. Most of Sega's teams had their own art styles from the Dreamcast era on. The 8-bit Master System and Genesis/ Mega Drive era there was a split between the NA and Japanese art styles. With Greg Martin doing the majority of NA box art between 1991 and 1995. I guess it was mainly Yuji Uekawa who did the promo art for most of Sonic Team's games from Sonic Adventure onwards. Samba De Amigo, Chu Chu Rocket, a lot of 6th gen Sonic games, Billy Hatcher all have that stretched out lanky art quasi- cartoony/ anime style.

>Isn't that his sister?
I don't think so

I never wanted to play this game because Billy's design reminds me too much of the Ovulator episode of Ripping Friends, which is probably the most offputting episode of that show.
