Hopefully, the kid is not as crazy as you.

Just kidding :P I know getting into older games can be hard. I grew up with N64 and always saw the 2D consoles as vastly inferior when I was a kid, and still did for a while when I was older.

It's only recently thanks to a strange turn of events that I have gotten into retro gaming. And when I played the 2D Sonics for the first time in a long while (I had Sonic CD on PC when I was really young), they felt really primitive. But after playing them for some time, there really is no going back for me. To me, the 2D Sonics absolutely crush the 3D ones, in every way imaginable except pure technical graphics.

idk. They set up a pretty good story until they threw the whole plot into outer space.

Weren't you one of the leaders of the Sonic Support Squad? Whatever happened?

EDIT: I still have that crap in my sig and I'm starting to realize no one else does. I'm assuming the group fell apart during my long hiatus.

to answer #3, have him play Sonic Unleashed. if that game doesnt make him hate Sonic idk what will.

One dose of this followed imediatly by this:

^^^ i remember getting that SOnic 2 genesis bundle like it was yesterday

@mr. khan Sonic Adventure 2??? i dont know whether to clap or have you admitted. i like the game myself but whenever your not playing with SOnic or Shadow it goes down hill. especially Knuckles & Rouge

Your brother is 9 and you want to take his enjoyment from Sonic from him? Really, you could probably give to him one of the worst Sonic games ever made (*cough*Shadow the Hedgehog*cough) and he would probably love it.

I know if he is a fan he will believe the game is good just because it has Sonic and his friends on it.

Not that is a bad thing, really. Don't you also love things that other people hate? Looking at your avatar, you seems to be a  Naruto fan. I know a lot of people who keeps telling me that Naruto sucks and how they can't stand Naruto. 

The Gamecube version ran much better than the PS2 version. (My friend had the PS2 version and we compared.) So if you have a Wii, you're golden.

Regarding point 3.

No, there is no way to beat the Sonic addiction.  I bought Sonic and the Black Knight due to blue blur withdrawals.  If it was the exact same game and called Klonoa and the Black Knight, I would have never played it .

I feel your pain, man.

saddest part is if it was Klonoa and the Black Knight it probably would have also been a very different, and better game.

How are you feeling about Generations?
