To be fair the first sonics are platform games, not speed ones, but once you master a level you have tha ablility to rush them at incredible speed. That's he point and that's really satisfying.
Fair point however, sega put a huge emphasis on the speed mechanics in the game but the actual game had way too much waiting. Platforming is not a problem but a lot of the game was just sit and wait. Fast platforming would have been much better which sonic 2 and even more 3 did much better.
I loved the old Sonic games as a kid but I used to speed run Greenhill zone on Sonic Advance for literal hours trying to beat my previous time so it has a special place in my heart.
Sonic 1,2,3 & knuckles have a special place in my heart because my brother had an emulator on his computer that i played on all the time. The level select code of sonic 1 even taught me the cardinal directions when i was a dumb 5 year old.
I grew up with Modern Sonic but I did eventually go back to play the old games. Sonic 1 is bad, in my opinion. When I first played it, I raged almost every second. I replayed it recently on the Switch and I finished the game in 1 hour and a half. The game is like an obstacle course. Its ridiculous how slow the game is and how punishing it is. Ive never played sonic 3 but i bought it on Steam recently. Sonic CD for me was a decent game but for some reason I found the game kinda boring. Sonic 2 is my favorite out of all of them but thats probably bcuz its the most similar to Sonic Advance, which is the first Sonic game Ive ever played. I feel the same way about Mania that I do about Sonic CD. Its decent but for some reason its kinda boring. The levels arent that difficult and they are pretty easy theyre also too big in my opinion.
Finally was able to get to this video, and gotta say, love the new style, and it looked like you had a bunch of fun with it too. Glad to see you broadening your horizons, cause it's definetly working for you. Much love Yakko, keep it up, you're doing amazing
I didn’t subscribe to you for your reviews. I subscribed for your games-with-friends. That being said, I love this new format. If your future reviews are as good as this one I’ll be there to see them.
@3:52 Bruh. I felt that. In my soul. Didn't even know there was one like that in that level. Of course, that, and the final area, were the only areas I didn't try to explore at any length lol
I used to play Mario bros 1 & 3 with my dad when I was around the age of maybe 4 or 5. One day he showed me Sonic the hedgehog 1, and my mind was blown. Then we played Sonic 2, and then on my birthday I got Sonic 3 & Knuckles. That was my favorite game of all. We never finished any of the games, because in the original versions on Genesis there was no saving or loading, (except sonic 3 & knuckles that had a little bit of saving and loading).
Speaking of Mario, i hated mario 1 as a kid. I played it as an adult and I like it. But for some reason I dont like super mario world. Maybe ive become spoiled as a gamer
@@thesamuraispirit7686 i was really excited to play Mario world after all the good things I heard about it, but then when I finished the game, I felt unsatisfied. Mario world really helped developed Mario and is probably a very important game for the franchise, but it was bland and underdeveloped.
I really like the honesty, cause I have seen people defend these games to the death, but even tho you clearly played the games in your childhood, you also see their flaws. I really liked that, keep up the good work.
Was watching in the car. My dad chuckled when you said you weren’t sure why you bought the physical games when you don’t even have a genesis. Good job. I rate the vid dad/5.
Sonic games on the Genesis were great! People who aren't skilled enough at them and can't speed through the game by holding right on the D-pad are retrospectively saying they weren't very good. Truth is they were some of the most challenging platform games ever created. Everything you said from 3:27 - 3:57 is precisely why I love Sonic 1. It doesn't hand hold whatsoever. Just beating it is an accomplishment.
I've made the joke about how I feel I should be drinking a Crystal Pepsi and listening to vapor wave with your videos with my friends before, but your channel revamp only proved my point. Digging this shit. Also, regarding the actual content, Sonic 2 and 3/Knuckles were my first iterations into the series (I think Sonic Adventure 2 was just released when I tried them), and they were my absolute favorite UNTIL SA2. I always wanted to go back to them myself, especially since I never played the first one. These games are a little personal to me, taking a backseat only to Legend of Zelda. I should probably actually take the time to go play the old 2-D Sonic games, along with Sonic Mania.
I loved Sonic 2 as a kid. I would be an idiot at the game so I'd just play with my dad and play as Tails. But still one of the most rewarding game experiences I've ever had. Also Chemical Plant Zone (both act 1 and 2) is in my opinion one of the most enjoyable levels ever
The first video game I ever owned was Sonic 2 and I played it so much that during summer vacation, I would wake up, beat it, eat breakfast, and then go about my day every god damn day.
One small suggestion Yakko. The thumbnail was kind of hard to tell it was from you. I wouldn't have known you made this video if not for twitter. Loved the video!
@@yakkocmn I think what immediately draws me to your video and makes me go, that one is from Yakko!, is the big bold font you use in a lot of your thumbnails like the Best of 2018, Black Ops 4 Welcome to Lethal League Blaze, etc. It stands out as a thumbnail from you mostly because you use it so much. Not sure if there was some other way you could have made it kind of clearer. Some people us their "Avatar" to show it's their video but thats just one way to do it. My problem could have just been from being so used to one style that when you did something different it through me off and I just glazed over it. Hope that helps :)
I would love to see you review all sonic games in order and give your opinion about the evolution of Sega and what do you think Sega should have done to not destroy itself with most 3d games
So, the first game that i've ever played was sonic 1 and... yeah, even back then I only liked to play green hill xD I'm a fan but holy, the first one... not my cup of tea :p (but I don't even like tea, so whatever) Btw, that was an awesome video, great job ^^

Emerald hill Zone act 2 once you master it is soooo fun
@@mr_calamity yeah i still dont understand why they marketed sonic 1 as being fast when it wasnt lol
@@thesamuraispirit7686 it was kinda faster than mario and i guess that was the point?
@@rasyadiskandar759 sonic 1 is actually kinda slower than Mario World in all honesty
U can build a Sonic fanbase on your forehead
ask bricky when it gets too cramped
Damn dats cold
Lmao ur petty
Brickys probably triggered rn
Is that a joke about the small fanbase or the big forehead
How Good Were the Original Sonic Games? (& Knuckles)
knock knock it's knuckles
@@yakkocmn unlike Sonic I don't chuckle - I'd rather flex my knuckles.
@@doofs Sonic 's the name! Trash are my games!
oh no
honestly I think they were pretty good aside from sonic 1 and CD
the other three are great, aside from the classic sonic bullshit
yakkocmn actually uploads
INSTANTLYLIKED
Hey fellas - hope you enjoyed the new video!
You can also follow the stream at www.twitch.tv/yakkocmn
yakkocmn you still a FACEBOOK partner?
i dont care what you make for videos, just keep makin em.
I loved the old Sonic games as a kid but I used to speed run Greenhill zone on Sonic Advance for literal hours trying to beat my previous time so it has a special place in my heart.
sonic advance was a banger
Neo Green Hill zone. I remember because this was my first sonic game. I have a deep nostalgia for that one
Stop staring at me; you keep making yourself seem more and more professional and I don't like it
06 was definitely as bad as Jotaro's parenting skills
Jonathan is worse, he wasnt even present SMH
@@cinnamonpanda6040 Johnny suicided himself when his child had a problem what a bitch
you couldnt even read the title or make an accurate jab at jotaro. dang. the twist is that jotaro loved jolyne so much he couldn't be there for her.
Boi
Why. Are. You. HERE?
YOU ARE EVERYWHERE WTF

Noodle hair, heart of gold, good video production

Im loving the new videos m8. production levels going craazy

Yakkos Dance at 6:38 makes my day so much better
Ya boi changing his entire layout of the better. Keep it up yakko !
Yakko, I FCKING LOVE THIS VIDEO! PLEASE MAKE MORE OF THIS STYLE

Im loving this style of videos from you
You're awesome yakko! Keep doing what you love

I LOVE YOUR NEW CARTOON IMAGE. IT HAS A JOKER MASK AND SONIC!

@@matthew3791 i felt the same way honestly. Mario world was a letdown. I did like the other 3 games though
ey this makes me exited for what kind of vids this year will bring!
i love every video you upload, keep the good work Sonic boi ❤
I love the facecam! You're great Yakko!
8:36 You don't have to move when you're launched by that. It works
12:53 The guidebook warned you about Robotic’s diabolical traps.
That start up holy sh!t the nostalgia I truly feel that
This was pretty damn cool to see :D love it
Also, new avatar is dope af

thanks dad
loved it yakko, good stuff
I don't like the new avatar but everything else in your videos is just getting better and better, keep going yakko
ive waited so long yakko

Wow this style of video was really great actually, you should make a video on the good 3d sonic games. (Heroes, Colors and Hedgehog ?)

This is.... A GREAT FRIGGIN CHANNEL ESPICALLY THE ICON.

Also Chemical Plant Zone (both act 1 and 2) is in my opinion one of the most enjoyable levels ever
am' loving the new style!
Outro art is super cute!! ❤️❤️😍

The first video game I ever owned was Sonic 2 and I played it so much that during summer vacation, I would wake up, beat it, eat breakfast, and then go about my day every god damn day.

Sonic 3&knuckles is the greatest one!

Good upload once again,
Dunkey-but-sonic-guy
Aw man...I wanted him to talk about Sonic CD! That's my favorite.
Yeah he should talk about that one and Mania too. Im not a big fan of those games but it would be interesting to see what he says about them
I love u yakko, stay you!!
Oh shit, yakko with new content, holy shit
Aw fuck yeah, a new Yakko video.
Nice stuff bro
10/10 yakko really like the video
One small suggestion Yakko. The thumbnail was kind of hard to tell it was from you. I wouldn't have known you made this video if not for twitter. Loved the video!
what would you consider to be the most recognizable parts of my thumbnails?
@@yakkocmn I think what immediately draws me to your video and makes me go, that one is from Yakko!, is the big bold font you use in a lot of your thumbnails like the Best of 2018, Black Ops 4 Welcome to Lethal League Blaze, etc. It stands out as a thumbnail from you mostly because you use it so much.
