SEGA overall did an awesome job with this game. Up there with CD, Advance 3, Generations and (both of these aren’t made by sonic team) Racing Transformed and Mania
And then butchered the aesthetic with these shitty filters and lack of polish on the effects and animations. This is more of a ripoff than I ever thought it could be.
@@mrbanks456 you mean the remaster right? If it's the remaster then I 100% agree with you, more than upgrading it... they've just worsened the game. Even if I had a ps5, I'd still prefer playing the original game. My laptop is very old so I run the game exactly like the wii did: 480p 30fps. So thecnically on my laptop I should have the exact experience as the game on the wii, yet I'd still play that rather than the remastered, if you're wondering why I can list you all the reasons. And there are a lot of reasons
Pausing at 2:11 _really_ demonstrates just how much the new lighting seems to sap the color from the original. Even watching in HD, the Wii just flat out looks better here. The remaster stands out in other areas, but it's a shame that it's not a universal upgrade.
this is just my theory. maybe the problem is that they made the remaster for the ps4 first, and then ported this to the switch. And when they tried to optimize the ps4 version on the switch they had some major problems tunning down the effects and etc.
Colours Ultimate is not "a brushed-up Wii game." It's a remaster that took the original game, placed it into another game engine & reworked the code to work in this superior engine, whilst recreating textures of set pieces, models ext. This game was developed & optimised specifically for Xbox 1, PS4 & PC, with a downgraded port to Switch, because Colours Ultimate was developed with 4K native resolution & 60fps in mind, which the Switch cannot even dare to comprehend. Again, this is not a Wii game. Hell with the amount of alterations to the game in development, you could reasonably consider Colours Ultimate to be simultaneously a remake & a remaster. It's a shame though that despite the clear ambition, time & effort that went into this project, clearly it was released a couple of months too early. In terms of the loading times, that's down to poor optimisation. Sometimes games on Switch can loader faster than their console predecessor's like with Catherine Full Body, or sometimes loading times are around 30 seconds apiece due to poor optimisation, as seen in the Switch version of Persona5: Strikers.
It’s not his head, his entire body snaps from side to side. That’s probably just a bit of jank with the movement physics since it’s an old Wii game. Who knows how it was coded, if that is adjustable with some parameters then definitely they should have fixed it. But, if it required modifying the movement physics code, well probably modifying the movement physics code was a bit out of scope for this remaster.
@@AetherMomon I'd have to check but I'm pretty sure this is the only sonic Wii game where sonic tilts like this, personally I think it's due to the controls as are alot of the changes from unleashed to colors I didn't like and believe it could've been fixed here

Honestly, all of them look fantastic. That’s what a great art style and direction does for a game. I’m watching this on a phone, so the Wii’s 480p isn’t noticeable but it probably looks as good even on the TV.
The fact that the Wii loads 3 times faster than the switch version is kinda crazy. Yes, there's a lot of graphical changes, but that already put the Switch at 30 fps, like the Wii version. Yet it also affects load times?
I know I’m being nick picky on this, but I would’ve loved to see the Switch’s Version title screen to at least run at 60fps just like the Wii besides the gameplay. But Idk, that’s just me being picky.
I was hoping they'd do tweaks to improve the game's animations and stuff to make it more in line with the other Boost games. Less janky left-to-right movement that looks like it was designed with the Wiimote in mind (which it probably was) comes to mind. Was also hoping the Boost effect would have more... idk, "umph" to it? Its like in Forces, the Boost just kinda turns on without any real satisfying impact if that makes sense haha
@@traviscunningham7062 yeah but you have to remember this is a upgrade how does the old console from 2005 loads faster than a Nintendo switch from this decade
Good video. Will still pick up the switch version because better access to play it if I’m not home. Don’t mind the FPS, but still hurts a bit that many of these remasters or ports to injustice to the switch. Honestly, this game can get 60 FPS on switch similar to how skyward sword HD has.
@@renereyes2648 Yeah, that company is not used to working with switch ports when looking at their previous ports. That and the fact Sega really pressured them to release them when it was going to take more time for all these platforms
when the freaking Wii had better draw distance than the switch. and before anyone think it's unfair to compare the switch to the ps5, the game still looks and run just like the ps5 even on the base ps4 it's just that it's running at 1080p instead of 4K, on the base ps4, the reason for that super fast loading time is due to the BC on the ps5 with it's fast SSD drive, on the base ps4 it's still load faster than the switch and the original Wii's regardless. the switch version felt a bit undercooked.
The thing about colours is that it was already 30fps in the wii so the switch makes no difference for me. Also colours isn't about speed alone, that's generations
@@EA-bv8zk Frame rate impacts controls too though. I don't have the best reaction times so 30fps vs 60fps is often the difference between a playable game and constantly dying for me. I've also always been sensitive to how much harder it is to see whats going on at 30fps, especially on an LCD as there's already a fair bit of pixel latency when the frame changes, the less it changes from frame to frame, the easier on the eyes it is.
@@Fictionboy16 yeah but they should have played it on og hardware for an accurate comparison since not everyone has gotten their hands on the new consoles.
The Load time comparission is not entirely accurate for PS4 times, as on a PS4/Pro those loadtimes are comparable to the Wii if not a few seconds longer.
I don't get why everyone is hating on the Switch version, because it takes like 15 seconds to load, which honestly isn't a lot of time when you think about it. The game still looks great, even if the frame rate is a little lacking in places. We will most likely get patches to try and fix these issues as well.
Probably because it has more than double the load time compared to a 15 year old console. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and assume patches will hopefully mitigate it in the future, but it's embarrassing nonetheless.
@jose ramiro reynoso ruiz keep in mind the switch uses different hardware, while that doesn't make it okay for the load times to be longer or the framerate to be worse the components for the switch are not the same as the wiis. So there are bound to be hiccups
How are the load times worse than the Wii?? I get that the game might be somewhat graphically improved or whatever and there's also the whole thing where the load times could get patched later on, but the Wii was super under powered even for its time and it came out in 2006!! What the actual hekking heck??
In some instances the Wii surpasses the Switch like that crystal and the mandala on the ground, it's also surprising those loading times from Switch I'd totally expect something equal to the Wii version or even less. Wii has a lot of bright, overall PS4 is the way to go then Switch and Wii but I'm impress that some part from the original were a little bit better mostly in color than the Wii version, rather than that is an amazing game.
I can totally change this as graphically I still stand on PS4 > Switch > Wii but with the recent glitches I'd say the proper way is PS4 > Wii > Switch, is impressive how bad optimized is the Switch version and not only that, it has plenty of bugs and glitches, another Sonic Boom case but this time they messed with an awesome game as Colors already was lot's of fun as Boom that tried so hard and failed.
4:33 That’s not a fair comparison! The video said at the beginning that the PS4 version was captured on the PS5! That aside, I KNOW all the comments coming will sum up as, “the Switch version sucks, it runs at 30FPS.” I’m starting to wonder if many people consider it either a companion system or an indie machine at this point
Exactly, the whole thing about the PS5 being a next generation console was the whole shtick about non-existant loading times. If this was captured on the PS4, as it should have been, then there should have been at least 4-6 seconds of extra loading time
It seems the switch version does not use the CPU fast time mode so yeah, bad comparison overall, probably a way to make people fight in the comments :/.
@@alexatkin nah, i think wii is still better tbh. all they shouldve done was just add a little bloom but keep the lighting basically the same, instead of areas looking too dark and stuff
@@brockwee The devs decide to not use the CPU fast time, and also the PS4 version is in a PS5 through PS4 mode (which is noted to have better speed even in older PS4 titles). Not a fair comparison in any way.
@@soragranda no excuses. The wii is 15 years old and loads faster than the switch by an absurd amount. It's a more than fair comparison between the wii and switch
@@brockwee But yeah Sega was crappy by not applying the CPU faster time in the switch version, a thing that is usable in pretty much the majority of switch games at this point, hopefully they make a patch. In regards of fairness... Are you blind?, The switch version doesn't look like the Wii version, hell, they are using the PS4 mode of the PS5 to capture this, talk about "fairness".
Switch is ironically more faithful to how saturated the colors in the Wii's environments were. What a bummer that the load times are notoriously long tho :/
Pc will look amazing with raytracing GI and mods. 👌 Plus let's be really the fans will fix that annoying bloom and color issues this port has so it'll be the perfect version in the long run.
A bit unfair to use PS4 version on PS5, the console with ultra fast SSD’s. It would be like telling someone you’re making them food and instead you give them restaurant bought hamburgers
@@darealepic of course, it seems unrealistic for it to be localized within your kitchen at this time of day, this time of year, this part of the country. So you don’t want to show it, for it would ruin the believability
@@ridleylegassy and then when you both get out your mom screams for help cuz of the northern lights and it makes you look like an odd fellow who steams a good ham that's obviously grilled
Ultimate has really exaggerated post process effects (bloom, contrast) and seems washed out darker compared to the original. It also has some missing effects (2:11). The Switch version in particular also has notable pop in issues (0:47 watch the Ferris wheel) and broken textures in some places (2:59), not to mention the inexcusable loading times. Not to mention the sound issues... Some things will hopefully be patched, but overall I'd stick with the Wii version until we get mod support.
The loading times are actually the same on the PS4 they are using the PS5 to run this which isn’t a fair comparison since the PS5s SSD has amazing load times for new and older titles.
Holy crap it takes 3 times longer to load the level on Switch than Wii did! Plus other than resolution I honestly think the original Wii game looks much better. The dumb bonus content like the different color gloves and shoes and the Metal Sonic races where you don’t see him after you leave him in the dust within the first 10 seconds really aren’t a draw either. What a poop job.
"PS4 footage captured on PS5", guys, these are not the PS4 load times, that version loads slower than the Wii original, running on my completely unmodified, standard HDD PS4 Pro. Please make it clear in the title of the video this is on PS5, not PS4, thanks.
It's frustrating how other reveiwers say that there was only a bump in frame rate and resolution. There's clearly more going on in the new versions than that.
I find, the Switch Version of this Game is the Best overall next to the PS4 and the XBox One Version. This Version of this Games is serving best Full HD Graphics and best Sound in any Case, I ever Seen. I'm pretty impressed, this you can belive me in Words☺️👍
Character Motion: Wii>PS4 Effects: Wii=PS4 Graphics: Wii>PS4 The PS4 boasts impressive resolution, but the Wii’s speed and dynamic movements offer a unique visual appeal.
I have played both the Wii and Ultimate (post-patched) versions of Sonic Colours. Both are okay but with the Ultimate version (at least on the PS4 and Xbox One platforms), there are achievements/trophies which are an extra layer of challenge
I can totally change this as graphically I still stand on PS4 > Switch > Wii but with the recent glitches I'd say the proper way is PS4 > Wii > Switch, is impressive how bad optimized is the Switch version and not only that, it has plenty of bugs and glitches, another Sonic Boom case but this time they messed with an awesome game as Colors already was lot's of fun as Boom that tried so hard and failed.
The main thing I don't like with the visuals in the new version....Is Sonic himself. It's kinda like the SADX issue where Sonic looks like he's made of plastic? It also doesn't look like Sonic's interacting with light sources half the time, which is most obvious at stage clear screens
are you kidding me? a remastered wii game running at 30 fps on the switch? fuck off in all honest. Not buying this game on switch, or even pc anymore. Such a let down
No lie this conversion looks better than similarly aged conversion Skyward Sword HD. Skyward Sword was really built with a low resolution in mind. Looks like colors was mostly just focused on making things look bright and colorful which looks even better in HD

@ConfusedSoniku300 Sony fanboys are the actual worst and Sony as a company is surprisingly anti consumer and arrogant, if anything I'm more on the Xbox side. Don't get me wrong I think the switch is great as a portable alternative when you don't have access to consoles. Mine collected dust for years but recently I bought a bunch of action games for it and having fun killing time while at work. It just doesn't even compare to current gen systems even close, example I was playing ninja gaiden 2 on switch and the frames chug to single digits at 240p in most areas and I regretted not getting on xbox
the switch version isn't really considered ultimate because nintendo decided to use the exact same frame rate for the game yet the console can run a maximum of 60FPS
I'm glad that the Wii version is still the best, it has better and above all lighter colors and the shade of red has Sonic Adventure 2 charm, the new editions are only expensive nightmode tryhards, especially the earth is too dark...
Thanks for the comparison. I was wondering which version I should get, and honestly I think I’ll just get the original on Wii U used or digitally. The Switch version just doesn’t look as good as the others and has pretty long load times
@@SmashyPlays The Wii is way less powerful though. We are talking about a single core PowerPC 750 @729MHz vs a octa core A54 and A57 @1GHz.... The switch is space age in comparison to the Wii.

Was also hoping the Boost effect would have more... idk, "umph" to it? Its like in Forces, the Boost just kinda turns on without any real satisfying impact if that makes sense haha
Wii version still looks great to this day
No it DOES NOT..
@@Karmalu Yes it does
@@Karmalu it does
The reflection of sonic on ps4 & switch in the intro doesn’t match but the Wii did. How?
In the newer versions you can barely see Sonic’s shoes when rail grinding
These intros never miss, goddamn🔥🔥🔥
Is it just me or is it weird that the wii version loads faster than the Nintendo switch
Yeah, it is faster than the Switch version lmao.
@@Dorian_Scott I mean other Switch games load slow. Look at Luigi’s Mansion 3 for example.
@@traviscunningham7062 yeah but you have to remember this is a upgrade how does the old console from 2005 loads faster than a Nintendo switch from this decade
@@bobbyh15 and you have to remember the Wii doesn't even output hd graphics lmao
@@AsecasJavi yeah but that's still no excuse
Good video. Will still pick up the switch version because better access to play it if I’m not home. Don’t mind the FPS, but still hurts a bit that many of these remasters or ports to injustice to the switch. Honestly, this game can get 60 FPS on switch similar to how skyward sword HD has.
Apparently Blind Squirrel was tasked with the switch port🤦🏽
@@renereyes2648 Yeah, that company is not used to working with switch ports when looking at their previous ports. That and the fact Sega really pressured them to release them when it was going to take more time for all these platforms
Can’t wait to play this on the PS5 🤩
when the freaking Wii had better draw distance than the switch.
and before anyone think it's unfair to compare the switch to the ps5, the game still looks and run just like the ps5 even on the base ps4 it's just that it's running at 1080p instead of 4K, on the base ps4, the reason for that super fast loading time is due to the BC on the ps5 with it's fast SSD drive, on the base ps4 it's still load faster than the switch and the original Wii's regardless.
the switch version felt a bit undercooked.
I love this type of comparison video because it clearly shows my preferences based on which screen I watch longer!
sonic is the kind of game that really requires that 60 fps to feel good. its a game about speed afterall.
Original wasn't and we had no problems. I understand that you prefer 60, but honestly... The Wii game had no issues imo
The thing about colours is that it was already 30fps in the wii so the switch makes no difference for me. Also colours isn't about speed alone, that's generations
@@EA-bv8zk Frame rate impacts controls too though. I don't have the best reaction times so 30fps vs 60fps is often the difference between a playable game and constantly dying for me. I've also always been sensitive to how much harder it is to see whats going on at 30fps, especially on an LCD as there's already a fair bit of pixel latency when the frame changes, the less it changes from frame to frame, the easier on the eyes it is.
I’ll be playing mine on the PS5. Very excited to play it
Edit: the load times on PS4 are insane
That's the ps5 loading times, this video is misleading as hell.
Guys, you did see the note about the PS4 footage being captured on PS5 at the beginning, right?
@@Fictionboy16 yes I did which is how I’ll be playing 👍
@@Fictionboy16 yeah but they should have played it on og hardware for an accurate comparison since not everyone has gotten their hands on the new consoles.
unironically wii version looks the best. 60FPS 1080p in the PS4 version is nice, but when it comes to pure artstyle the original is still superior.
The Load time comparission is not entirely accurate for PS4 times, as on a PS4/Pro those loadtimes are comparable to the Wii if not a few seconds longer.
Just started on a ps4 pro, 8 sec and 6 sec for both levels shown
I don't get why everyone is hating on the Switch version, because it takes like 15 seconds to load, which honestly isn't a lot of time when you think about it. The game still looks great, even if the frame rate is a little lacking in places. We will most likely get patches to try and fix these issues as well.
Ikr. Animal Crossing takes longer than that to load.
From what i hear, even Guilty Gear loads WAY longer.
Probably because it has more than double the load time compared to a 15 year old console.
I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and assume patches will hopefully mitigate it in the future, but it's embarrassing nonetheless.
@jose ramiro reynoso ruiz keep in mind the switch uses different hardware, while that doesn't make it okay for the load times to be longer or the framerate to be worse the components for the switch are not the same as the wiis. So there are bound to be hiccups
@@NotAFederalAgent- I agree with your assumption, Spongebob rehydrated had long loading times on switch, and i think they were fixed in later patches.
Welp I was planning on getting this for the switch but looks like not anymore. Sucks too cause I was really looking forward to it.
They generally patch these load times later on. They did it with Odyssey and BOTW iirc
@@Bapringles true but the 30 FPS is another reason why I’ll get it on either Xbox or PlayStation
@@JohnAmmari001 understandable
How are the load times worse than the Wii??
I get that the game might be somewhat graphically improved or whatever and there's also the whole thing where the load times could get patched later on, but the Wii was super under powered even for its time and it came out in 2006!! What the actual hekking heck??
@@Bapringles those are in house nintendo games, third party games rarely see patches, sonic forces runs horrendously docked on switch still in 2021
In some instances the Wii surpasses the Switch like that crystal and the mandala on the ground, it's also surprising those loading times from Switch I'd totally expect something equal to the Wii version or even less. Wii has a lot of bright, overall PS4 is the way to go then Switch and Wii but I'm impress that some part from the original were a little bit better mostly in color than the Wii version, rather than that is an amazing game.
I can totally change this as graphically I still stand on PS4 > Switch > Wii but with the recent glitches I'd say the proper way is PS4 > Wii > Switch, is impressive how bad optimized is the Switch version and not only that, it has plenty of bugs and glitches, another Sonic Boom case but this time they messed with an awesome game as Colors already was lot's of fun as Boom that tried so hard and failed.
Why is the wii one better looking than the switch one omg (besides screen resolution)
Especially the transparency
To this day the wii Version of Sonic colours looks amazing for the time it was released.
4:33 That’s not a fair comparison! The video said at the beginning that the PS4 version was captured on the PS5!
That aside, I KNOW all the comments coming will sum up as, “the Switch version sucks, it runs at 30FPS.” I’m starting to wonder if many people consider it either a companion system or an indie machine at this point
Exactly, the whole thing about the PS5 being a next generation console was the whole shtick about non-existant loading times. If this was captured on the PS4, as it should have been, then there should have been at least 4-6 seconds of extra loading time
It seems the switch version does not use the CPU fast time mode so yeah, bad comparison overall, probably a way to make people fight in the comments :/.
@@soragranda video should have been called "shitting on the switch port of sonic colors"
@@Name-uo3wo Yeah, it definitely feld that way! :/.
The lighting in the Wii version is definitely better for the most part, imo.
There is no lighting in the wii version
Still better
@@Ersa_ It just looks permanently washed out to me.
@@alexatkin nah, i think wii is still better tbh. all they shouldve done was just add a little bloom but keep the lighting basically the same, instead of areas looking too dark and stuff
The intro was really good 💖
16.9 seconds for loading times on switch bruh lol
nintendo switch version does not have ssd
@@ruddistarlingsantanaperez212 and the wii does? Lmao
@@brockwee The devs decide to not use the CPU fast time, and also the PS4 version is in a PS5 through PS4 mode (which is noted to have better speed even in older PS4 titles).
Not a fair comparison in any way.
@@soragranda no excuses. The wii is 15 years old and loads faster than the switch by an absurd amount. It's a more than fair comparison between the wii and switch
@@brockwee But yeah Sega was crappy by not applying the CPU faster time in the switch version, a thing that is usable in pretty much the majority of switch games at this point, hopefully they make a patch.
In regards of fairness... Are you blind?, The switch version doesn't look like the Wii version, hell, they are using the PS4 mode of the PS5 to capture this, talk about "fairness".
tfw when you realize that the switch version has sonic 06 load times
Switch is ironically more faithful to how saturated the colors in the Wii's environments were. What a bummer that the load times are notoriously long tho :/
30fps on switch is a just meh, since the Wii version ran about 25-30fps, but I’ll still take it since it’s portable
I hope they at least patch the load times on Switch. Until then, I’m keeping my original Wii copy for a while longer.
I wonder how PC, Xbox, and PS5 graphics would look
There's no ps5 version nor Xbox series x version only the pro and 1 x versions are playable
Pc will look amazing with raytracing GI and mods. 👌
Plus let's be really the fans will fix that annoying bloom and color issues this port has so it'll be the perfect version in the long run.
@@hypno18s not happening anytime soon pc version has DRM which makes it impossible to mod right now
@@acwbit2368 Ok than when it comes to steam it'll be the best version. 👌
"Loading times"
Wii Sonic: Lets go!
Ps4/Ps5 Sonic: You're too low!
Nintendo Switch Sonic: (Starts tapping his foot) I'm waiting!
A bit unfair to use PS4 version on PS5, the console with ultra fast SSD’s. It would be like telling someone you’re making them food and instead you give them restaurant bought hamburgers
And they are obviously grilled
@@darealepic despite your best efforts to convince them it’s steamed
@@ridleylegassy and then you try to make an excuse but all of a sudden aurora borealis hits your kitchen
@@darealepic of course, it seems unrealistic for it to be localized within your kitchen at this time of day, this time of year, this part of the country. So you don’t want to show it, for it would ruin the believability
@@ridleylegassy and then when you both get out your mom screams for help cuz of the northern lights and it makes you look like an odd fellow who steams a good ham that's obviously grilled
Ultimate has really exaggerated post process effects (bloom, contrast) and seems washed out darker compared to the original. It also has some missing effects (2:11).
The Switch version in particular also has notable pop in issues (0:47 watch the Ferris wheel) and broken textures in some places (2:59), not to mention the inexcusable loading times.
Not to mention the sound issues...
Some things will hopefully be patched, but overall I'd stick with the Wii version until we get mod support.
You're referring to the shrubbery at 2:59 right?
The loading times are actually the same on the PS4 they are using the PS5 to run this which isn’t a fair comparison since the PS5s SSD has amazing load times for new and older titles.
how did they manage to make the loading times even longer on switch lol
Maybe because the Switch Version's loading are like a hard time graphic loads.
kinda prefer the wii for some reason
Holy crap it takes 3 times longer to load the level on Switch than Wii did! Plus other than resolution I honestly think the original Wii game looks much better. The dumb bonus content like the different color gloves and shoes and the Metal Sonic races where you don’t see him after you leave him in the dust within the first 10 seconds really aren’t a draw either. What a poop job.
I like the Switch version, because it looks less bloomy👍😁
It's 30fps but I respect ur opinion 😊
You gotta love how Nintendo isn't even trying to keep up with their contemporaries.
I can live with 30FPS (since the Wii version also ran at 30FPS) but those load times are a yikes from me.
30 FPS versions (Wii + Switch) looks so much more cinematic. Fantastic!
"PS4 footage captured on PS5", guys, these are not the PS4 load times, that version loads slower than the Wii original, running on my completely unmodified, standard HDD PS4 Pro.
Please make it clear in the title of the video this is on PS5, not PS4, thanks.
I so hope they fix the Switch's load times.
There's literally no excuse for the Switch loading times.
Thankful to have gotten a refund.
The Wii version looks better...
It's frustrating how other reveiwers say that there was only a bump in frame rate and resolution. There's clearly more going on in the new versions than that.
How did they manage to port a Wii game and make it load SLOWER?
Sega inexperienced developers.
It's not a port
@@soragranda it's not sega's work
@@AsecasJavi Then, it's whatever the hell developers that make the remaster, and also Sega for not supervising their fucking anniversary title!
@@soragranda Yep. Being precise is important.
Don't worry guys! The switch is more accurate cause it respects the original's fps!
Silly 60 fps
I always love your intros, they're fresh and pretty vibrant every time. Maybe you guys are going ultimate too!
THAT INTRO WAS BALLER!!!
ARE YOU KIDDING ME? MORE THAN 10 SECONDS OF LOAD SCREEN? OMG
Would like to see how the new game compares to an emulator version of the original
Oof Switch having worse loadtimes than Wii is definitely a downer.
@RelaxedSoniku89 it’s quite bad that the Wii load nearly 3x faster
The Xbox Series X Probably Looks better than all 3 versions here.
I think it's very bad from gamexplain, it should also show the xbox version
That's an awesome Gamexplain intro!
tbh I like the Wii one better
Same
I find, the Switch Version of this Game is the Best overall next to the PS4 and the XBox One Version.
This Version of this Games is serving best Full HD Graphics and best Sound in any Case, I ever Seen.
I'm pretty impressed, this you can belive me in Words☺️👍
Character Motion: Wii>PS4
Effects: Wii=PS4
Graphics: Wii>PS4
The PS4 boasts impressive resolution, but the Wii’s speed and dynamic movements offer a unique visual appeal.
I have played both the Wii and Ultimate (post-patched) versions of Sonic Colours. Both are okay but with the Ultimate version (at least on the PS4 and Xbox One platforms), there are achievements/trophies which are an extra layer of challenge
I can totally change this as graphically I still stand on PS4 > Switch > Wii but with the recent glitches I'd say the proper way is PS4 > Wii > Switch, is impressive how bad optimized is the Switch version and not only that, it has plenty of bugs and glitches, another Sonic Boom case but this time they messed with an awesome game as Colors already was lot's of fun as Boom that tried so hard and failed.
Once again the intros are the best
The main thing I don't like with the visuals in the new version....Is Sonic himself. It's kinda like the SADX issue where Sonic looks like he's made of plastic? It also doesn't look like Sonic's interacting with light sources half the time, which is most obvious at stage clear screens
Definitely picking up the PS4 release someday for the PS5.
i thought "why does it look like a wii game" didn't know it actually was.
Love GameXplain's intro of Sonic. 👍 ♥️
are you kidding me? a remastered wii game running at 30 fps on the switch?
fuck off in all honest. Not buying this game on switch, or even pc anymore. Such a let down
No lie this conversion looks better than similarly aged conversion Skyward Sword HD. Skyward Sword was really built with a low resolution in mind. Looks like colors was mostly just focused on making things look bright and colorful which looks even better in HD
Soon, there will be a Sonic and Fortnite crossover.
Not long until Sonic Colours ultimate is out on Tuesday Happy 30th anniversary Sonic the Hedgehog and Happy Birthday you've Been part of my childhood for a very long time helping me going through the good and bad times because I have learning difficulties and it's so annoying and stressful but your video games TV shows music and movies that's what makes me happy all the time you're my favourite video game character of all time and been your biggest fan since 1994 or 1995 the first sonic game I ever played was Sonic the Hedgehog 2 because collecting all the Chaos Emeralds and turning into super Sonic for the first time is amazing and outstanding and to have a little buddy and sidekick on his side tails is really cool my favourite 2D Sonic game of all time is Sonic Mania and my favorite 3D Sonic game of all time is Sonic Adventure and I'm very lucky to be born the same year as sonic in 1991 I've been a big sonic fan since I was 3 or 4 years old and I've got a tattoo of Sonic that I got on my birthday back in 2016 and that makes me a true Sonic fan I've got lots of Sonic merchandise and can't wait to see the new Sonic movie next year and I'll be wearing my special Sonic the Hedgehog trainers at the cinema thank you Sonic you've mean a lot to me and you're like a brother to me and I love you so much thank you SEGA and thank you to the man himself Mr Naka the creator of Sonic the Hedgehog you're the coolest Sonic creator in the world from your biggest fan of all time The True Mario & Sonic Fan Boy. 💙 😁 💙
ngl those loading times are making me reconsider on getting the Switch port.
Everything else I can deal with.
@MaskedChoujin3000Three times as long as the original? That's pretty bad imo.
@RelaxedSoniku89 What does framerate gotta do with loading times?
plus its 30fps on switch, get it on a real console you wont regret it
@ConfusedSoniku300 when it has the processing power of a modded toaster, no it isnt
@ConfusedSoniku300 Sony fanboys are the actual worst and Sony as a company is surprisingly anti consumer and arrogant, if anything I'm more on the Xbox side. Don't get me wrong I think the switch is great as a portable alternative when you don't have access to consoles. Mine collected dust for years but recently I bought a bunch of action games for it and having fun killing time while at work. It just doesn't even compare to current gen systems even close, example I was playing ninja gaiden 2 on switch and the frames chug to single digits at 240p in most areas and I regretted not getting on xbox
the switch version isn't really considered ultimate because nintendo decided to use the exact same frame rate for the game yet the console can run a maximum of 60FPS
I think most people would be happy being able to play this on a modern console.
You can play this on the latest PlayStation, latest Xbox, latest Nintendo-Console, and PC.
Wii is better in all aspects, even performance. Such a wasted opportunity from SEGA’s part
I'm glad that the Wii version is still the best, it has better and above all lighter colors and the shade of red has Sonic Adventure 2 charm, the new editions are only expensive nightmode tryhards, especially the earth is too dark...
Thanks for the comparison. I was wondering which version I should get, and honestly I think I’ll just get the original on Wii U used or digitally. The Switch version just doesn’t look as good as the others and has pretty long load times
2:30
Why is the Switch version so dark? And they overdid the saturation levels.
It’s a weird issue that happens every now and then only in the results screen, the images aren’t supposed to look like that as far as I know.
if you own the Wii version, there's very little reason to upgrade especially if you've got a widescreen HD CRT to play it on
Those switch loadtimes made me scream
Hold on, is the Switch version using lower resolution textures than the original Wii version?!?! 0:43.
Unbelievable. There is no technical reason for this...
@@Thelango99 theres a reason, that the switch is an underpowered console that is definitely showing its age
I feel like the Wii handles RAM better, because I have seen a lot of frame rate drops while using frenzy compared to on the Wii.
@@SmashyPlays The Wii is way less powerful though. We are talking about a single core PowerPC 750 @729MHz vs a octa core A54 and A57 @1GHz.... The switch is space age in comparison to the Wii.
@@redpanda4818 No amount of memory management is going to make 64MB @3.8GB/s better than 4GB @25.6GB/s.
How can the Switch version not be 60 fps? I'd be happy to forgo the visual upgrade for 60 fps.
