unlabelledView post →Sonic Origins having cute little cutscenes at the beginning and end of every game is so fun
unlabelledView post →Sonic Origins hate is so weird because that was my first exposure to those games and at no point did it glitch out or be bad every glitch I have seen are glitches in the original game
unlabelledView post →I get excited, perhaps too excited, when the Switch game cover art is reversible. Especially when it's SEGA!!! I mean, check out the Mega Drive art for Sonic Origins!!! 😎 #Gaming #RetroGaming #Switch #Sonic #SEGA
unlabelledView post →In awe that I was recommended a compilation of Sonic Origins boss rush softlocks that are still in the game nearly three years after the Plus DLC released
unlabelledView post →Yeah I'm playing Sonic Mania right after wrapping up Sonic Origins, why not. By the end of S3&K I was getting a bit burned out by how those stages were a bit too long and some of the bosses are gimmicky and annoying and require waiting for a thing. So yeah I'll play a game that does more of that.
unlabelledView post →I didn't want to assume that the glitch would work on actual hardware/other emulators without testing, because holy fuck the game gear emulation on the Switch version of Sonic Origins Plus is dogshit. Can't maintain frame rate, constant audio glitches, it's a fucking disaster.
unlabelledView post →That Sonic Origins run in AGDQ was great. Nice to see a runner show off how good Hyper Amy is in this game.
unlabelledView post →I know people joke that Sonic is just a “hold right to win” game, but mirror mode in Sonic Origins just feels deeply unconfortable to me! It’s just… *wrong* somehow… 😅
unlabelledView post →on the inclusion of Game Gear games: RgG made the emulator years ago, for use in Sonic Origins Plus, so they've been looking for an opportunity to redeploy within Yakuza, plus Horii just likes Game Gear
unlabelledView post →First, play Sonic Origins. This is a compilation remaster of Sonic 1, 2, 3&K, and CD, with QoL updates and widescreen. Available on all post-2013 consoles. And/or, play Sonic Mania. Often regarded as the best Sonic game *since* '94, it's also a bit easier than the classics.
unlabelledView post →In 5-10 minutes! Oh god we're playing a Sonic game. It's only been...months? Sonic Origins! Because we figured we would go through the whole suite of games. Come ask me about the heatwave we're getting hit with. twitch.tv/omegaultimax
unlabelledView post →So Sonic Origins is my "first" Sonic game. Going in I had this idea in my head that Sonic was all about going as fast as possible, all the time. I was very very wrong, game hard. This sums up my experience 😭
unlabelledView post →Hiya everyone! It's Rosy again. There's another sale happening on Steam right now, and Sonic Origins Plus is on a 65% discount, just under 15 dollars! If you haven't picked it up yet, you should now while you have the chance! store.steampowered.com/app/1794960/...
unlabelledView post →Second game(s) completed for the year. I went through and 100 percent Sonic Origins. It was fun revisiting all these games from my childhood, and experiencing Sonic CD for the first time. I totally forgot how bullshit the final boss for Sonic 2 is.

unlabelledView post →For the best Sonic Origins experience: 1. Open Sonic CD. 2. Switch soundtrack to Japanese. 3. Close Sonic CD. 4. Switch to "Mission". 5. Select "Story Mode". 6. Enjoy the entire collection as 1 game, this time with the proper music. 7. End it all off by replaying 3&K as Knuckles.
unlabelledView post →My favorite retro game compilations for sure. Sucks that the Amy Rose stuff and Game Gear games are DLC and aren't on actually the Sonic Origins disc,but it is what is
unlabelledView post →Game #1 of 2026: Sonic Origins (Platinum🏆) Confession time, I had never played a 2D Sonic game before Origins. I had seen more Sonic movies than I had played Sonic games. There definitely are some major pain points like the entirety of Sonic CD 😭, Tails stealing (1/2)
unlabelledView post →Including its presence on compilations, Sonic the Hedgehog, a game that I own three times on Nintendo Switch alone (SEGA Ages, SEGA Mega Drive Collection and Sonic Origins) and no less than a dozen times total, including multiple Mega Drive/Genesis carts for every region.
unlabelledView post →I sometimes forget I have to access to several Game Gear titles through a side menu in Sonic Origins.
unlabelledView post →Just nabbed the platinum trophy on Sonic Origins Plus! But I had a lot of thoughts about the quality of this compilation, and decided to write up a review of the whole package. I focused more on how the games are presented, with specific mention of the chronic lack of Master System games... 🙃
unlabelledView post →My ★★★★½ review of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles (1994) on @backloggd.com : Ahhh, I love this game. I’ve been replaying through these games in Sonic Origins and they just get better and better as they go. What a great send off for Sonic on the Genesis.... bckl.gg/tCLP

unlabelledView post →*Unironically considering getting Sonic Origins Plus on Switch while its on sale mainly for the Game Gear games like a Freak*
unlabelledView post →Sonic Origins Plus is £10.49 store.steampowered.com/app/1794960/... The Classic Sonic games in one package, but assembled to a very questionable standard... until you grab the Ultrafix mod, which essentially makes them the definitive way to play (Said mod has an update dropping June 23rd, too!)

unlabelledView post →@dark1x.bsky.social Sonic Origins received an update a while back that added nearest neighbor pixel rendering. I noticed the game looks a lot sharper. Do you know about this and is Origins finally fixed?
unlabelledView post →Hot Take: I like Sonic Origins. I’m aware of the glitches and its non-programming-based faults, but I play it primarily on PC with the Ultrafix patch added and while a fanmade patch to play a game isn’t needed to properly run a game, keep in mind that the same thing happened with SA1 & 2 on Steam.
