Earlier this month, we asked you all how important of an element Chao are in Sonic Unleashed. Out of all the questions I see in the comments… heck, even my inbox… Chao always seem to come out on top. What did all the campers have to say about them though?
Based on over 700 votes, 44% of the campers decided that while Chao are fun, they can certainly live without ‘em. That’s nearly 50% of the Camp Sonic viewers who suggest that they really aren’t necessary to make Sonic Unleashed a killer game.
Quickly following the dominant vote was Chao are “Very Important” at 29%, followed by “Won’t consider buying the game without them” at a surprising 16%. Will that many of you honestly not consider Sonic Unleashed without Chao? There is after all another game to get your Chao fix from this year (Sonic Chronicles for the Nintendo DS).
On a final note, before my Inbox fills up with the obligatory “Will there be Chao in Sonic Unleashed????” emails, I want to take a moment to reiterate that we will not have that answer until SEGA is ready to answer that question.

I’m giving all hopes that they will put in Chao cause they are the best, in my opinion. And the game would really be great.
@Chaos Blast: it is ? did you get to play the demo at E3 ?? could you tell a bit more in-depth about how the game works ?? that’d be awesome !
@umiyuri:
Yaaay! I don’t really know the Japanese titles, Apart from Sonic World Adventure. Mind you, Shooting Star Story sounds better than Zero Gravity. Some of those were really obvious, like Sonic Battle… you probably noticed I got nearly all the new games right, because I’m a New School Sonic Gamer.
This game is fun!
((Correction)) Why would a hedgehog slide forward on his back? Isnt that against the law of friction? It would just make more sense if he rolled instead of slid, thats all im saying.
I only have one question. where is harvy dent?
no jk. my question is where the heck is the spin dash? Its worrying me because a sonic game wouldnt be compete without it. Smash bros showed how impotant of a move the spin dash is to sonic and the only game the forgot it was S&TSR. So … Does anyone care? If they want to truly have the classics roots, they are going to need the spin dash and spin roll more than that weird slide. Wy would a it?
@Xeternalstar: Yes, I secretly hold the key to everyone’s actions here in my ongoing attempt at ruling the world :P. And in response to your other question, I do keep a close eye on the conversations here, and have several people on moderation watch (which means that their posts do not go live unless I personally believe they add value to the conversation). You can get on said list by spamming, fighting, etc.
@Chaos Blast: Very good! I like playing this game!
Out of 32 you got… 25! Congratulations! Here’s the ones you missed:
S3DB = Sonic 3D Blast - also known as Flickies’ Island
KC = Knuckles Chaotix
SC = Sonic Championship (Sonic the Fighters in Japan)
SB = Sonic Battle
S2K6 = SONIC the Hedgehog 2006 (I missed the 6 so I added a point onto your score because I screwed up and I’m such a nice girl)
SRSSS = Sonic Riders: Shooting Star Story (SRZG in Japan)
SaMOG = Sonic and Mario at the Olympic Games.
I’m sorry for the Japanese ones. I just think Shooting Star Story was a better title than Zero Gravity. It explained the plot - and it’s alliterated too.
There’s more Sonic games than that, though: Sonic Spinball, Sonic Schoolhouse, Dr ‘Buttnik’s Bean Machine, Sonic Blast (very fiddly but I like playing it), Sonic Chaos, Sonic Triple Trouble, Sonic Labyrinth, Sonic Drift, Sonic Drift 2, Tails and the Music Maker, Tails Sky Patrol, Sonic and Knuckles, Sonic 3 and Knuckles, Blue Sphere, Sonic Pocket Adventure… and that’s from memory too. XD!

DX is meant to be an abbreviation of Director’s Cut. If they put Sonic Adventure DC… people might confuse it with Washington DC! Oh, can you imagine?
Random dude: Excuse me, do you know the way to the White House?
Sonic: You must be confused. We only have flats here.
Random dude: No, I meant where the President lives.
Sonic: …Tails? Lil’ help, lil’ bro?
Tails: (yawns) I’m tired! I don’t wanna help, I want my nap and I want it now!
@umiyuri: The answer to that is a big “N.O.” lol
But SADX is actually SADXDC
(Sonic Adventure DX: Director’s Cut).

Can ya guess ‘em all?
@RGamer: I like your idea about that triangle-system support (though if you add the DS game Chronicles, it’d be a square system support of GBA-GCN-Wii-NDS)
but if Nintendo is having problems with the usage of accesoires like the (GCN) DK Bongos on a certain WiiWare game, I don’t see a lot of chances for support for the GCN(/Wii)-GBA link cable for this game.
Reading the GCN memory card and the DS would be get a higher chance.
Also, if the GCN/DS memory card would be supported, the created data should be copied/imported and not just read, so you won’t get restraints on new features like new chaos drive types and stuff like that.
oooh! and SH= Sonic Heroes
Shth= shadow the hedgehog
Sth06=sonic the hedgehog 360
Does
Sonic Rush Adventure (or SRA)

SA2B = Sonic Adventure 2 Battle
Umm can’t think of any more lol
