And for their first game, it’s mostly solid. For one, it’s the first Sonic game on a Nintendo console, (alongside Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, which was released on the same day in Japan and about a week later in the US.) It was also the first game made by Dimps, which would go on to make many of the other handheld Sonic games amongst other things. Sonic the Hedgehog is no stranger to handheld games, but Sonic Advance is a first for the series in a couple of other ways. Kinda simple considering the Adventure games just happened.
Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy have set out to stop Eggman, and that’s about all there is to the story. But it also wouldn’t be one of Eggman’s plans if Sonic the Hedgehog didn’t rush in to ruin it. Eggman has once again obtained the seven Chaos Emeralds and, undeterred from his previous failures in console-based games, is attempting to create Robotnikland. Sonic the Hedgehog? On a Nintendo? I don’t know if this is blasphemy or heresy but it’s certainly unusual.ĭr.
