NeonOctopus 06/23/22 3:39:44 AM #1:	Let's look at the Japanese one: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/0/8/9/AAUsi-AADX15.jpg https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/0/9/0/AAUsi-AADX16.jpg https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/0/9/1/AAUsi-AADX17.jpg https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/0/9/2/AAUsi-AADX18.jpg https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/0/9/3/AAUsi-AADX19.jpg 48 pages with tons of fun little drawings of Sonic and what to expect in the levels and such. Even tho I don't understand it, it's still fun to look through! Now let's look at the American one! https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/0/9/4/AAUsi-AADX1-.jpg https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/0/9/5/AAUsi-AADX1_.jpg https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/0/9/6/AAUsi-AADX2A.jpg https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/0/9/7/AAUsi-AADX2B.jpg Well, the story quips are fun, and the enemy illustrations are still nice (not as good as the crude and colorful Japanese ones imo)..... and there's a score card if you are dumb enough to give a shit about scores in literal Sonic games. But that's it. It's only 20 pages long and it's all black and white. This is why people become weebs. Japan is just superior >_> --- http://i.imgur.com/nlaY1qH.jpg http://i.imgur.com/zHJ1OCo.gif http://i.imgur.com/btBPP4E.jpg http://i.imgur.com/1B3bMHw.gif https://i.imgur.com/2aof3ao.jpg <cite>NeonOctopus posted [p:966034452] in Damn, the ...
