This just goes to show you how out of touch I am with Sonic the Hedgehog fans. I had no idea there was a contingent of people out there who seem to despise the way Dimps has been treating the speed freak. I suppose it was to be expected but I would think that they would at least be happy that they’re getting games which aren’t developed by Sonic Team.
Apparently not. The above video is a trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog 2 “Dimps Edition”, a ROM hack of the aforementioned game which adds features of the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog 4 in an effort to point out how awful they are. Watch as Sonic runs through one speed launcher after another, flies into foes with his ♑homing attack and neglects his responsibilities as a paternal figure for young Miles Prower.
If you want to try the hack out for yourself, its creator has made it . I’m not going to try it myself, as I’m already awful at Sonic 2 without having to deal with what appears to mostly be extra detritus on the road but you’re certainly welcome to try. Anybody grabbing it? Any impressions?
