FINALLY Unwiished gets its recognition!

You don’t even know how significant of a feature optional sun and moon medal collecting was for me a child. If I would’ve played the HD version growing up I’m sure I would’ve disliked the game just like everyone else around that time but because of Sonic Un”wii”shed, Unleashed instantly became my favorite game in the series and still is to this day giving me an overall appreciation for each version because of that small thing. If I had to back track and play levels over and over I would’ve dropped the game as a kid and Sonic might not be my favorite gaming mascot ever

I just have to say, I absolutely adore how much more atmospheric dimps tried to make the game even though it was on limited hardware. Small little things that people usually don't mention, like the way the HUD looks, or adding the prospect of the gaia gates, keeping with the original game's story, but making the time in which sonic explores the gates so much more immersive. Also: I think this is the ONLY sonic game that tells you IN THE LEVEL how much time you have to get a certain rank. Ik its small, but its such a nice deatail.

10:24 i wish there was more documentation about this version's development so this could be more widely known. i'd love to hear the stories behind a lot of these last gen ports

I’m honestly ANNOYED that no one mentions that sonic unwiished shows separate parts of the world in the levels; like being able to to be in the top of the wall of Chun-nan during night time stages or being able to see more of the outside of shamar in the daytime stages.

i’m a firm believer that Cool Edge Day Wii is much better than Cool Edge Day HD. i love the SD version of this game, i’m glad someone’s giving it the recognition it deserves

As a kid I actually loved the Werehog stages more than the day stages. I liked taking my time just exploring the night stages and sometimes just vibing to the music, these stages are beautiful

Neat, didn't know about the boost canceling in this version. That alone deserves a like and a sub.

I have completed Unleashed on PS2 and I loved the exploration of the Gaia Gates for collectibles as well as listen to the calming music.

I completed for the first time this version (on PS2) and it was a blast. I always loved the PS3 version, and I did have the PS2 version since 2008. But I never liked that much, and when I knew there was a "better" version, I forgot about the PS2 one. But some months ago I wanted to try it and complete it. And man, what a ride. It was so much fun. While I still prefer the PS3 version, I love the PS2 too. So, yeah. The Unwiished version it's not bad. Only different, and fun!

3:05 can I just say that the editing here was spot on oh my

So a fun fact - Sonic Team handled the final boss in its entirety for this game. This includes the running sections, which are the same as the HD game. And as such, they're the only sections in the game with rail switching implemented!

I’ve always loved the stage design of the Wii/PS2 versions since it was the first version of the game I played. The nighttime stages of Adabat and Chun-Nan were GORGEOUS to me. Part of me hopes that we will eventually see a definitive edition of the game with a mix of the two stages

I also played Unwiished before Unleashed. But I stand by the fact that the day time stages had way more interesting environments despite being the same locations. Also kinda true for certain night stages, plus the purple hue at night, making it feel like Dark Gaia is more prominent.

man your channel is underrated, you deserve so much more subs
