The Skill Shop is Open for Business
Originally from Germany’s latest GamesMaster magazine, SSMBer NeonMJH has posted a couple new shots from Sonic Generations, one of which focuses on the game’s skill shop.

There are a couple things we can deduct from this; first, there will be some skills specific to one particular Sonic over another. We see in the screenshot here a fair bit that can apply to both, and the skills look pretty useful if you’re eying time trials. It also appears the original shield, in addition to the elemental ones, will be available for classic Sonic to use.
One other item of note is the mention of Skill Points, which will apparently be required at varying quantities to equip these skills. It would appear skill points will be awarded based on how well you do in a stage. So, if you think you can just go nuts in the shop adding abilities to your character, think again.














Cool! This kind of reminds me of MegaMan 8… without having to find bolts in every level in order to buy skills.
@Foxboy
Yet another thing we disagree on. I hated all those gimmicky items and how gaudy they looked on the characters. I’d much rather see something like this XD
I was okay with most of the items. Tails’ little badge was cool but Knuckles’ giant gold and silver hands and Sonic distractingly ugly cyan arm band were just ugh.
yep definitely secret rings a go go! lol and eggmanland is awsome but its HELL LOL. I agree that place definitely is a beotch to not lose your ass lol…I start with 99 lives and come home with around 30 lives or less…so that tells ya how bad I suck at eggmanland. I wonder if wentos will make an appearance there? that shop looks like its manned by him lol but I do see ole omochao lol.
Please please let it be manned by that chao from the Black Market in SA1 and SA2. AND GIVE IT THAT MUSIC TOO SEGA.
You can get a nice Full HD (1080p) TV with 32 inches or more from 400 euros+
Not bad, right? Definitely worth the trouble.
Reminds me of the upgrades from SATSR and Sonic Riders…
@Order The Super Peel Out is back?
This is all I have to say:
Well, hopefully these factors are more in line with the improvements found in Sonic and the Secret Rings or even some of the upgrades in Sonic Unleashed than, say, the upgrades in Sonic the Hedgehog 06.
Not sure if everyone remembers them but… well, having to swap shoes constantly to do certain special moves with a broken special meter was at once infuriating and far too unbalanced. You could blast through any level as Sonic with one pair of shoes (I think it was blue) with no hassle. Took all effort from the game.
@Anaze 1:14 it’s a Master System!
This is kinda like an RPG like Secret Rings. But better!!! I hope the Light Speed Attack and Super Peel Out are here!!!
