avalonknight Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 (edited) Wow, didn't know it would effectively be full scale (or close to it. Talking about the Genesis console, of course.). Thought it would about half scale for that price. Wished I preordered it. Edited August 12, 2017 by avalonknight Quote Link to comment
Ithrak Utopia Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I shouldn't buy this, but I'm so tempted. My employer has the item and I've had the chance to look it over. Seems awesome, just don't know if I want to actually go for it considering Sonic Mania has not really been on my radar as far as upcoming Switch releases go. Quote Link to comment
avalonknight Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 (edited) I know the feeling (Got a huge figure collection). At least for me, it's more historical/nostalgic in a different manner (grew up with Nintendo in the 90s). Like, hey, here is a giant Collector's Edition of a Nintendo Switch game, oh look! It's Sonic proudly standing on a Sega Genesis! Yes, Sonic has been on the console since the Gamecube days, but to have a statue of it...yeah.

Juanblue85 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Can't wait to get mine I was expecting a small but good quality figure not that big but I'll take it. This will make up for me losing (techincally stolen) Sonic Generation CE Modern Sonic & Classic Sonic Statue. Quote Link to comment
Eliwoodman12 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Wish I was able to preorder when it was out as well. Unless they stock on some I probably won't get the collector's stuff. Quote Link to comment
Juanblue85 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 My Sonic Mania Switch CE has finally shipped but won't get it till Thursday so I double dipped and got the PS4 version to play at midnight. Still wish there was a physical cartridge/disc. Quote Link to comment

It should have been obvious that this should have had a physical release. Quote Link to comment
Cryptic Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 At the moment, I really want this game; just not sure whether to get the Switch or PS4 version. (The portability of Switch is of little consequence to me.) Quote Link to comment

JanusDS Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 I've never been a huge Sonic fan but that CE actually looks pretty awesome. Almost makes me want to get one just for that and the game sounds like it will be pretty fun to boot. Wish I had paid more attention to this earlier on, I might have grabbed it. Quote Link to comment
Art_de_Cat Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 The box is huge.......cant wait to get home after wirk! Quote Link to comment
TKrazyO Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 For those that either have it or are waiting to get the game, here's a taste of my playthrough of Sonic Mania. Spoiler Doc Brown 1 Quote Link to comment

Art_de_Cat Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Why did I need to watch a video of someone's unboxing when I had my own box to enjoy? I dont watch unboxing vids.... Quote Link to comment

L'Arachel Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Downloaded and started playing some of the game yesterday. It's really great so far! Kinda funny how well muscle memory works, especially in terms of playing some of those special stages. I'm enjoying both the old and new stages, and the nods to all of the various old Sonic games as well. I'm definitely not as good at this type of game as I used to be, though. Some of the new special stages are kicking my ass still, and I've been having problems with some of the bosses. Quote Link to comment
