In a general context I'd agree but in this specific context I would like people to stop bickering

Hey here's a tip if you don't like sonic games:

You can just not watch all the sonics! Let the rest of us enjoy a thing! It's okay to just let people enjoy things!

Reminder that the Wii being two Gamecubes taped together isn't completely a meme, and that we've seen the Battle Network platformer. The issue is how best to work around motion controls, not getting the game itself to run.

I'm happy to take your word for that but I hope you appreciate it's not always easy to tell when people are being disingenuous online.

I have warned Koba for his post which I agree was weirdly combative and deleted Arctangent's... less than constructive offering. I don't really want to comment on past moderation.

I would go a little further in caution and say that unless you're able to respond to those points regarding what makes people like them, "I don't understand" is on you and not on them.

This is not necessarily meant to blame that person - we have our moments of shortcomings - but there is a difference between acknowledging that it would be due to insufficient understanding on your part and unreasonably faulting others for it.

A most welcome elaboration. Thank you very much!

obviously this doesn't cover the other wii sonic platformers, but it's worth noting that sonic colors has gamecube controller and classic controller support, meaning it can be played without motion controls

I mean,

one of the games on this list has a note saying raocow will need to figure out how to get a wiimote working with Dolphin if he wants the true experience...

I didn't realise that the C-Side opened up some tenacities on raocow rather than just marathoning the series but the stresses of finding good emulation. Keep this up raocow until you hit a certain point that you need to find a good PS3 Emulator for a certain game.

I have PC CD copies of both Sonic R, Sonic 3D Blast, and the Sonic 3&K collection I'd be willing to donate to raocow should those be necessary
(though I imagine they're not the hardest things to emulate, 3&K being a much better game on the actual console or the Sonic 3 Complete romhack being quite possibly the best example)

Though I suppose the real question is if we can get raocow to play these:

going back a bit but something to understand about the way sonic levels work and the way you don't always go fast despite that being a key element of sonic games-going fast in sonic is by and large treated the same way coins or collectibles are treated.
which is to say, it's a reward.
you complete platforming segments, and then get fairly straightforward bits with lots of continuous ground, often with boost objects and/or tunnels/loops to breeze through. you get to hit boosters or springs, hear some cool sound effects, fly through a portion of the level and cover a lot of ground.

it's like completing a jumping segment in mario world and getting a dragon coin as a reward. (obviously sonic also has shinies to grab, but it's another layer of reward.) the audio-visual feedback feels good, it's a little dopamine hit as a reward for platforming well. and as you learn levels better, you can go fast more easily and in areas that aren't 100% explicitly built with that in mind.

besides that, the heavy momentum is something that either you like or you don't. I don't like it, I like full control and being able to switch directions on a dime in midair, etc, but a lot of people like to build up speed for platforming. it's a different skillset and a subjective difference. (on the flipside, I DO like momentum in FPS-I really like any kind of FPS that lets me bunnyhop, rocketjump, etc. just in platformers I like very direct snappy control.)

S&K Collection is on archive.org, 3d blast he said he's playing the original genesis version, i think sonic r he was gonna play the saturn version.
