Marking this one separately because I got it and the Planet Wisp tracks I never bought for the switch when I first played for 16 bucks total on PS4. I do this because I gave the Switch version a 0.5/5. I stand by that. I played it on 9/11’s 20th anniversary. So I knew what it was like to have a plane fly into me. The Wii original? Pretty damn good! This is still a godawful port, cutscenes are just taken from the Wii, occasionally not upscaled and very blurry, lighting sucks, the Jade wisp is very tacked on, and yet, it’s less buggy of a mess than on launch and than the Switch version. It’s still a bad port, but things definitely do WORK now, more effects play where they should and sfx plays properly, even if it’s tied to the same toggle as music. God that’s depressing to even praise. I don’t feel like this is as bottom of the barrel as the Switch version, which is tied with Genesis on the GBA for one of the worst porting attempts of all time, but it’s a hilarious, sobering thought that remaking the same game that started Sonic being seen in good faith from 2010-2012 was meant to start the current “renaissance” people say the series is having. Instead we’re left with a soulless, hollow shell of something great, much like the planets Eggman saps the resources from here.
