Favorite Sonic tweet ever was the Sonic Official Twitter bragging about free DLC and someone was like "didn't you charge for Super Sonic"? And they were like "He's free now!". And then the person was like "Don't do it again".

06 having DLC at all is bold enough in and of itself, but the fact that its actually kind of cool and robust is even more insane

The character voices for the menus in SA2B were originally DLC for the Dreamcast version. And with the mixture of the limited space on a Dreamcast VMU and the files being pretty sizeable, you could actually find yourself not having enough room on your VMU for all of them. And I'm pretty sure Rouge had a Witch costume where her fur was black as well.

I think my mic is dying

What the dev for Pizza Tower is doing is a great compromise for DLC, he's only released the base game only digitally, but once the game is actually finished he will release the physical edition with all content added and no updates needed.

Weird things about the Sonic 06 DLC: 1. The Very Hard levels were made once they understood the game they made better and were just better versions of the Hard Levels in many cases without being actually harder. 2. Team Attack Amigo drastically speeds up Tails, making him feel less like puttering through molasses, but only in the TAA levels. 3. The PS3 in the US only got the Very Hard DLC, no Boss Attack or Team Attack Amigo, despite it releasing in other regions. (Even regions the Xbox 360 version didn't receive.)

I love how “Rocky” is essentially a trigger word for sonic fans.

12:34 Actually this is why SEGA took down high-quality Sonic OSTs from various websites. It doesn’t help that they still don’t re-release most of them in any form.

DLC in games will never be gone. and sonic is no exception still I enjoy some of them and hope they get better in the future

Sonic had a rough transition to dlc

There are very few companies that would think it would be a genuinely good idea to have a staple form in basically every game be paid DLC, and imagine how happy I am knowing the the company that owns one of my favourite franchises is one of them.

I actually still own the LEGO Dimensions Sonic pack and even bought one of the new sets. It's been years since I've played it, but the DLC level was pretty cool even as someone who didn't play that many Sonic games

3:01 You had Silent and the Black Knight RIGHT THERE and you just WALKED past it.

Actually, I loved playing Amy in Sonic Origins Plus.

Can't wait for this video to have DLC that is exclusive to Walmart if you want it

Assuming the older games ever eventually get ports/remakes, I hope these DLC's are brought back. I really enjoyed the Sonic Unleashed DLC levels, Day and Night, and would be disappointed if the game got ported without them. And it's sad knowing I'll probably never get to try some DLC's like the Lost World ones since the eShop closed down.

I remember when superstars DLC was all free for download for 5 minutes on launch night. Gotta say I nabbed the comic book skins before they became unavailable and I am glad I managed to get them since they look good. But for real we need better DLC for sonic games. like new zones or storys like that, instead of all this cosmetic stuff that makes sonics shoes a different color. thankfully frontiers and superstars have been steps in the right direction. The rabbit skin for sonic is so much better customization than what we had in colors ultimate (remember when we thought we would get movie sonic skins?)

Man, that rant about Generations spoke to me. I was so excited at the prospect of them adding more levels into the game. It's shocking how Sega/Sonic Team are still a float with the amount of financial Ls they take.

What I find funny was Team Sonic Racing Was perfect for DLC. Everyone wanted more characters for that game but nothing.
