Fun Sonic Facts!

Here is a verbatim quote from an interview with Sonic and the Black Knight's lead designer, Morio Kishimoto.

"I hear Sonic's voice in my head," reveals Kishimoto. "And we're going to keep developing until Sonic says it's a good game."

that's how they know who to hire as designers

look at how yuji naka will not stop going back to prison and acts like a child on twitter

kishimoto is improving as the series goes on, though i kind of wish proper momentum wasn't entirely thrown to the wayside

So, what's interesting about Sonic and the Black Knight is that it actually makes decent use of Arthurian legend, probably even more so than Secret Rings made use of One Thousand and One Nights. Of particular note: raocow equating Caliburn to Excalibur makes some sense, since the term Excalibur comes from the Old French evolution of Escalibor to Excalibur, and Escalibor comes from the Latin name Caliburnus. (Caliburnus itself is a Latinized form of the Welsh name Caledfwlch (don't ask me how to pronounce that, it's freakin Welsh).)

Also, the scabbard granting King Arthur immortality is something that comes from the mythos itself, particularly Le Morte d'Arthur (the most comprehensive English collection). The scabbard was known to heal any and all wounds, granting the holder virtual immortality. Such was its power that Merlin himself told Arthur that the scabbard was of far greater importance than the sword. The seizure and disposal of the scabbard by Morgan Le Fay as revenge for Arthur killing her lover is one of the factors that brings about Arthur's death.

Some of this will be relevant later.

"yes i am sonic. wild, i'm aware"

actually ur big

I wonder if they gave Sonic a fuller suit of armour at some point, but had to reduce it to just the gauntlet because of trademark/character design mandates saying Sonic still had to look like Sonic.

The sharpen effect in paint.net is part of my routine for deep-frying images and it really is a dead ringer!

I like how despite Sonic's indiscriminate assault against the townsfolk in that level, 11 people still looked at that and were like "I wanna be a follower of this guy!"

So catching up, this game seems to control better than Secret Rings (and I don't just mean the Wiimote issues raocow had with that one)? Would not know. The storybook games remain a big blind spot that I'm fine with leaving that way.

You don't control Sonic with the Wiimote in Black Knight, you use the Nunchuck. He's still on rails, but backing up for example is now just holding backwards, not whatever the hell was going on in Secret Rings with raocow's control setup. Wiimote is just for wagglin', which does sword stuff.

For the record: I own and have played BK, not SR, so direct comparisons are grain of salt
