The fact that even the one who wasn't able to play the old sonic as a kid could even pick it up, play it, and enjoy it at it's core is what gets me the most. I love it.
Colors* Unleashed did a good job setting the gameplay for 3D Sonic, except it had a lot of flaws concerning the Werehog Colors refined that formula and made it better Generations refined it yet again and perfected it Lost World then, tried to go back to the Adventure days and did a good job imo And now Forces looks like its going to have the Unleashed gameplay, combined with Heroes and Mania Sonic has been back to life since a while ago my dude
I love the way the Asian girl reacts. She seems so genuinely excited, happy, and hyped when playing. You could really see the joy of first exposure to Sonic. Mania is a GREAT first foot in the door, it's probably one of the best Sonic games of all time.
I honestly suck at 2D Platformers but Mania is really beginner friendly with a Character like Tails (I learned to love this character. So cute and cool) and the option to turn of the time limit. I had a great time with that game.
@@sofaris576 Thanks. I didn't even realize that when I beat this game with every character in 2018. Having that option makes the game a whole lot better.
As a long time fan of Sonic. It's so surreal to see casual players play a Sonic game. But refreshing! It does show, this really was the game the series needed.
As a Sonic fan, I am happy to say that this is the reason I think Sonic Mania is the best Sonic game in years. Because it is accessible to both new and old comers to the series. This is something no Sonic fan I have talked with really sees when it comes to this game. The most alienating part of the game was welcomed by most of these players.
PTony Oliver I own the Xbox One version, actually. XD There is no difference between versions, from what I have heard, so that is really a matter of console preference. Would you be able to play on the go with the Switch? I have no experience with the Switch. I have heard a couple of really cool things about it.
SeraphiiGaming Generations was released 5 years ago, so yes. I dare say years since a good Sonic game. :P Even so, I believe Mania to be a little bit more accessible than a couple of those games. Many of those guys were getting used to how fast Sonic was. Going through something in the style of Modern Sonic's boost gameplay? I... I would love to see how they do, actually... >.> But I do worry that Generations' style of gameplay (Specifically Modern) leans on the fans a little bit. I love that game, but I don't know how the average person will like Generations. (I would love to see if they can pull off a SA1 based game again, though.)
PTony Oliver Definitely get the Switch version as you can play it on the go and that all versions are pretty much the same. The only reason to get it on PS4 is for the trophies
6:26 "I only got 3 rings dude, seriously?" Yeah, if only it was as easy as the original Death Egg (Robot) where you got 0 and had to fight 2 bosses in a row.
SubjectULTIMA yup. Same nearly happened to me. I grew up on portables starting with the gameboy pocket because TV consoles were forbidden. Then I nearly died when I turned 12 and my dad bought me a Gamecube with Smashbros and Metroid Prime and preordered WindWaker. Heh. I'm ever-grateful for that.
i would really appreciate if you told them that the chemical plant zone act 2 boss was not tetris and was puyo puyo or just a vs round of dr.robotniks mean bean machine
Love that the girls were willing to experiment and respond but the dudes wanted to know what they were supposed to do before they did it, they were averse to new things!! :)
It's originally Puyo Puyo and then lots of other companies copied the game into their own aesthetic. So basically Puyo Puyo, Mean Bean Machine, and Kirby's Avalanche are all the same game.
I'm an adult too and I'm excited to play this game on my computer for my 19th birthday and... by the way, about Robotnik losing because he reached the ceiling in the Chemical Plant Zone challenge, this is a reference to Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine. Am I the only one who actually knows what Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine is before Sonic Mania?
I'm of the same generation as these people (I'm 31, have a fiancé and daughter) and if I was in this video, I would have been like "I already know this game", I'd probably have more info on it than the uploaders. Me and my fiancé still find time to play games and I've been a Sonic fan for 26 years. For life!
Watching other people play certain games badly stresses me out. Same when you guys do a fighting game like Street Fighter. And they think that bit in Chemical Plant is hard? Barrel of doom in Sonic 3. See how long they take to figure it out. That said, I loved seeing Emily's reaction to this, as someone who didn't play these games as a child. Plus, she's gorgeous.
You : It's the Mean Bean machine... Me : The Mean Bean Machine is actually a re-skin of the original Puyo because Sega thought it won't work with Puyo character soutside japan
I shrieked out loud on seeing that they included a "Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine" homage in this game. Looks like a definite "by the fans, for the fans" game.
The fact that even the one who wasn't able to play the old sonic as a kid could even pick it up, play it, and enjoy it at it's core is what gets me the most. I love it.
First Generations, now this, Sega are really bringing sonic back to life.
Wat?
(Sees Sonic Forces) Nope Sonic is still in the graveyard.

Unleashed did a good job setting the gameplay for 3D Sonic, except it had a lot of flaws concerning the Werehog

Sonic has been back to life since a while ago my dude
Sukiida you forgot about Sonic Boom
Boom doesn't count because its a spin off series
Think of it like Mario Party or Mario Kart, its not part of the "main series" of the Sonic franchise
"This is the perfect time to touch things, but I need to be careful"
Probably my favourite line in this video

I love how they included Mean Bean Machine in this, good job on the devs!
Fun fact: It's PuyoPuyo. That game is a Sonic spin-off of PuyoPuyo. They have the same gameplay, and Puyos look exactly like beans.
When you buy a Sonic game and you get a free puzzle game and Jojo reference :P

"Is this Tetris?"
I swear I'll go Super Saiyan Kaioken x 10 in 5 seconds.
I love how no one knew what Puyo Puyo was or even played Mean Bean Machince
+5 to all of them for knowing sonic
but...
-5 for not knowing puyo puyo
Skarz1989 A.K.A. a ripoff of Dr. Mario

This makes me cry for two reasons
actually it was mean bean machine
I feel so sorry for Emily. No consolesor gaming while growing up, must have been hard.
"I'll take this slow"
I'm sorry...
What?
"She's too slow!"
It's blowing my mind that Tori is on adults react now...
I've been here for years and it feels as if we grew up together in a way lol idk
That's what they want u to think

Emily is such a kid while playing this. After hearing what she had to say about it, it's SO pure
"Right now I feel like we're all retro, like we all miss the past so I feel like this is perfect."
Props to this guy man.
it's so weird to know that Tori and Adam are actually adults
She was my crush for as long as I can remember.
9:45 "You and your blue balls"
1) How did no one post this already
2) Aww yeah, girl
3:23 “Woah, this game goes way too fast for me.” Clearly hasn’t played Sonic Unleashed.
True
I feel like Emily went on a gaming journey and it was wonderful to watch.
YOU GET IT *_*
i would really appreciate if you told them that the chemical plant zone act 2 boss was not tetris and was puyo puyo or just a vs round of dr.robotniks mean bean machine
Love when games like Sonic can bring back the inner child of adults
I love it when people who didn't play games growing up get to play games and just how into it they get. It's the best.
I love it how tori says the word sweet. 😀 Love her reactions.
Gregory Van Overmeeren I know she is so cool
arsenal gunners I think so too. The best reactions come from her and adam imo.
The enjoyment on Emily's face is the best part of the video!
Nobody knew but in the chemical plant boss battle it was based of a game “Robtnik’s mean bean machine” but as other people know “Puyo puyo”
Yes dude maybe in 2017 but we all knew it
Love that the girls were willing to experiment and respond but the dudes wanted to know what they were supposed to do before they did it, they were averse to new things!! :)
Watching this after seeing the movie is just so perfect

COMPARING THIS TO TETRIS YET NOT ONE OF THEM GOT THE REFERENCE TO DR. ROBOTNIK'S MEAN BEAN MACHINE
THIS IS SLANDER
Exactly
PUYO IS NOT TETRIS
This.
TBH I didn't either. I barely played that game.
Alex Mandy it’s not doctor mario lmfaooo

"This game is all about timing" **falls off a cliff**
1:19 Take it slow

Things you should never say in a Sonic game.
Nothing has ever given a 90's kid more anxiety than the music that plays when Sonic is about to drown 😩
"WHERE'S THE BUBBLE?!"
1:43 he looks like a chad on vacation
LOL
he sucks
I'm an adult too and I'm excited to play this game on my computer for my 19th birthday and... by the way, about Robotnik losing because he reached the ceiling in the Chemical Plant Zone challenge, this is a reference to Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine. Am I the only one who actually knows what Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine is before Sonic Mania?
Nikki Roessler nope bro i played that game thats how much of a fan i am
Nikki Roessler no you're not I had mean bean machine on the Sega genesis known as mega drive everywhere else I believe
Nikki Roessler i really enjoyed Dr.Robotnik's mean bean maxhine
Nikki Roessler I first experienced Mean Bean Machine in Sonic mega collection on GameCube.
Not even close. I've played Mean Bean Machine way before Sonic Mania.
"Is this tetris?"
Me: *Deep Breath*
Legendary Failure i so agree with you
even adults enjoyed, TAKE THAT HATERZ
lol lets be fair though.. these are young adults... some used to be teens a few years ago
Tori : Just because something is new doesn't mean it needs to be ramped up
*A minute earlier*
Tori : This is another old game, it's pixelated
man! i was waiting to see if anyone would get the mean bean machine reference :c
8:55 *Can We Get A Moment Of Silence For Tail*
tail di!
2:44 she looks like she is playing Mario cart by the way she moves the controller
Fortunately for them, Eggman is awful at Puyo.
ronindebeatrice which is ironic being that puyo used to be know as Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine
He just isnt the same anymore after he gave up the Robotnik title.
ronindebeatrice 300 IQ my ass
I love seeing people react to Sonic games. Wish there were more of these. :))
You mean to tell me that nobody knew the robotnik's mean bean machine reference.
Caleb Douglas I feel like exactly one "adult" in this video was alive in 1993...
ronindebeatrice exactly, but there's no way that they never got a hold of sonic mega collection.
I love how Emily is enjoying this game.
I'm of the same generation as these people (I'm 31, have a fiancé and daughter) and if I was in this video, I would have been like "I already know this game", I'd probably have more info on it than the uploaders.

I feel bad for Emily with the childhood she had
That throwback to Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine was a pleasant surprise.
Why is everyone getting recommended this now
It really be like that 😂
"I have nooo ideaa!"
Yikes
"I died, with no rings, like Gollum" ... After 30 years, this is the best Sonic comment!
Sonic the hedgehog on Genesis was my first videogame ever !!
And now playing this game brings so many memories back !!
God I miss being a kid !!
"What?! OMG, I can't swim?!" lol Welcome to Sonic the Hedgehog.
She was touching the spikes the whole time too. lol
Yeah but to be fair, she did seem to think she could simply float above them. lol
I mean, she did say she wasn't allowed to play any kind of videogame when she was little...
Unless you play as Tails. He might be slower but I apricate his ability to fly and swim.
'I can't swim?!'
You have much to learn.
Watching other people play certain games badly stresses me out. Same when you guys do a fighting game like Street Fighter.
And they think that bit in Chemical Plant is hard?
Barrel of doom in Sonic 3. See how long they take to figure it out.
That said, I loved seeing Emily's reaction to this, as someone who didn't play these games as a child. Plus, she's gorgeous.
“Take it slow”
Lady, did you forget you we were playing sonic..?
Chemical plant zone act 2 boss being Dr. Robotnik mean bean machine is the best thing I've seen in a Sonic game in the last 15 years.
Man that's harsh, Emily...what kind of parents would not allow kid to have any handhelds or console devices at all..?
Nizama like really religious and superstitious parents
Nizama Freaks
Adults POV: does not know that Checkpoints can make bonus stages
7:58 So far, so good
SA1 Sonic: Hey, thats my line!
SH Sonic: Hey, Sonic, *THATS MY LINE!*
0:50 Emily, you poor thing. You must've had a rough childhood.
That's a classic Asian family
But these games are made in Japan. Why would they be so against it?
Donald Warren Right? That hurt me a little inside.
Emily's face at 2:17 to 2:22 tickles my eyes from inside... So cute!!!!
The fact that the suicide hotline puts you on hold.
Tetris?! DOCTOR ROBOTNIK'S MEAN BEAN MACHINE, YOU SWINE!
They cant know it
LMFAO
well i mean, mean bean is just a reskin of puyo puyo tetris so-
Which is BASED on PuyoPuyo..
Tori is so good at Sonic. Our Jessica Jones
Sonic mania going back in time when sonic was at his best
I wonder how many people will play the chemical plant boss without realizing that it's a reference to Doctor Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine
Or Puyo Pop
Tetris is little bit different from Dr robotnik's mean bean machine I think? 😁
That was actually puyo puyo
Them: Is this Tetris?
Me:😢 It's puyo.
nekira hodge 😢They called it connect four
nekira hodge Eh.... I don't really expect them to know what Puyo Puyo is.
Exactly. If I didn't watch a streamer play the Puyo Puyo Tetris combination game, I would have thought it was Tetris as well.
I knew Eggman was a gamer, and now it's canon. He humiliates you if you lose the 'battle' ?
You : It's the Mean Bean machine...
Me : The Mean Bean Machine is actually a re-skin of the original Puyo because Sega thought it won't work with Puyo character soutside japan
I shrieked out loud on seeing that they included a "Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine" homage in this game.
Looks like a definite "by the fans, for the fans" game.
And Mean Bean Machine is Puyo Puyo but in Genesis.
"This stage here is all about timing" *Proceeds to run off the edge*
That drowning music is so freaking stressful XD
they need to see studiopolis zone
It frustrates me so much that they don't press down when they have gained speed to turn into a ball

This brought back so many happy childhood memories. This and Metroid were 2 of my favorites!

Yeah sure they care
They should care mean bean machine is a classic, this game pays tribute to all the classic sonic games.
