Sonic Colors DS Version vs Nintendo Wii- Which Version Is Better?

[Kjennings92]

Ever since I made my last post here about wanting to get into console gaming, I feel like I’ve reconsidered a game that I hadn’t given much thought to before but now believe I will enjoy- Sonic Colors.

 

But I do have a small problem: Do I go with the Wii version or the DS version?  (It’s another 1 of MANY games that I didn’t get the chance to play growing up.) Now according to this fandom link, there are a good number of differences between versions, but not nearly as extensive compared to Sonic Unleashed for example.

So, the plan when I made this post was to try & make it into like a poll or something where people can voice their opinions openly in. Only problem was I didn’t know how to do that, so I guess a regular post will have to suffice. But anyway, I would like to hear everyone’s opinion on which version of the game you think is best & why as it will help me to make up my mind. :) 

 

Thanks in advance & I look forward to hearing from you!

They're both different games, but ultimately, it would probably be better to go with the Wii version here.

If I had to pick one, I would definitely go with the Wii version. Both games have the same basic plot, but that's about where the similarities end. The DS version is strictly a side-scrolling 2D platformer. The Wii version has the typical boost formula gameplay from most of the modern Sonic games where it alternates between 3D and 2D sections. The cutscenes are also going to look much better on the Wii if that's something you care about. In my opinion, Sonic Colors DS is basically just Sonic Rush 3. The game is nearly identical as far as the gameplay mechanics, and even uses the same character model.

 

TLDR: If you REALLY like 2D platformers, you'd probably still enjoy the DS version, but the Wii version is a far more fleshed out and enjoyable game if you only have time for one of the two.
