What I like way more than cutscenes are silent realizations.

Pretty much all the cutscenes from Kirby games are great. The ones right before entering a new area.

Forgot how to spell his name, but that mini boss you have to fight by pushing him into the lava was cool. Really didn't expect him to bust back through the goddamn wall.

Music's a big part of it but this intro sequence is two good

>> No.2769653

Does it have to be with the sprites from the actual game or do animations count?

The first time I discovered this I almost cried. (I was, like, six or seven at the time so cut me some slack)
Ever since then I either avoid the room or ensure I don't kill the dog.

If that cut scene took place nowadays it would last 5 minutes, be unskippable, contain bad dialog spoken by bad voice actors, QTE's, and the remainder of AIZ1 that follows it would be an unskippable "Press A to Jump"-tier tutorial. Am I right?

Anyway, my point is I'm glad older games cut scenes are the way they are. Which is usually nice and short and to the point, not too disruptive of the gameplay.

Sonic 3 cutscenes WERE unskippable.

That cutscene is ridiculous.

Not only did Knuckles manage to knock the chaos emeralds off of Super Sonic, he was able to swipe them from right off under him.

If that's not enough, Knuckles was able to run off with them and leaving Sonic behind.

To be honest Sonic 3 opening cutscene being a minute long and unskippable was already bad.

honestly, Angel Island never looked too good, they aimed for a more "realistic" look, it doesn't have any of the weird checkered /geometrical terrain patterns that were a trademark in Sonic games.
Color palette is also a bit boring.

A whole generation of ADD-riddled autists was able to sit through those cutscenes, so I don't think they're that bad.
