Sonic Team Boss States That There Are No Plans for the Iconic Franchise to Drop Home Consoles

Let's hope it's better than Sonic Boom

Good. I've tried out Sonic games from the Google Play Store and to say I was unimpressed would be an understatement.

Just make Sonic Adventure 3, and make it good.

@DBardo Sonic Adventure 3 already exists, it's called Sonic '06.

Really what I want the most is for 3DS to get 3D Classics of the remaining main Sonic Mega Drive games (2, 3, & Knuckles) and Wii U to get SA1 and 2 ports.

Actually I think it would be a good thing if they stopped trying to develop Sonic for home consoles for a while. They should concentrate on the handheld, if anything. Go back to the side-scrolling of Sonic Rush and cut the gimmicks like colour powers. Focus on building the games like they used to on Mega Drive instead of trying to innovate with some new gameplay mechanic. Drag Sonic's reputation back out of the mud before attempting to put him in a 3D world again, because it hasn't worked in over a decade and people are losing faith.

Has everyone forgotten about Mario and Sonic @ the Olympic games?

You better Sega, I have a Sonic amiibo ready to be used for unlock awesome amiibo features in an amazing well crafted Sonic game for Wii U. I honestly don't expect such crazy dream to become true, but try to get at least a bit close to it!

Now let's hope this home console Sonic future is a good home console Sonic future and not a...boom.

Okay, but could the next game AT LEAST be decent? I actually really like the series. It's one of the series that I grew up with (in fact, I think Sonic 2 might have actually been the first game I've ever played!), and while there were definitely some serious F-ups in the past, I've still had a lot of fun with it. I just hope that it can get back on its feet. Besides, I have a Sonic amiibo, and I damn well had better get more opportunities to use it!

Whatever became of the anticipated Episode III of Sonic the Hedgehog 4?

Great news. Keep making improvements to the Unleashed Daytime stages/Sonic Colors mechanics and the games will be as good as gold...

How about giving the lost world gameplay an other shot? Wasn't that bad if you ask me there is room for improvement !!

@HopeNForever Put on indefinite hold.

I'm with some of the others. I'd be happy with a game that actually played like either Adventure 1 or 2. I feel like I don't have as much control over Sonic in the newer games, and I actually liked playing as others some. And of course chao.

Sonic Adventure 3; make it.

Old engine, reunite the old team, old director, old voice cast, chao gardens.

Drop the 'lets re-invent sonic' every ten minutes.

Sonic is niche, fast paced platforming. Stop trying to make it accessible to everyone.

I wish to see Sonic in a new game, but with all those failed games in the past, the expectation is not so strong in this fan. Generation was good, just like the Adventure Series. I liked Advanced and Color, but Lost World and Boom just worried me. 06 was a disaster with a lot of problems, but it had a premise at least, just like Shadow the Hedgehog. What I wish (or better say hope) to see, it Knuckles back to his old self; gullible and stubborn instead of an idiot. No sport taps but keep Amy as she was in Boom; self-confident and grown-up unlike the brainless brat she was earlier. Keep Eggman as villain and please, for the love of the whole damn universe... change Shadow to what he was; a calm anti-hero like in Sonic Riders. The version of him in Boom was so damn generic and stupid... like a carbon-copy out of a bad Hanna Barbera Cartoon.
And, this one is very important... TAKE YOUR TIME WITH IT! Don't rush the damn game or we will see another horrible game like 06 and Boom, where Boom was kind of playable unlike 06.

But yeah, just take your time and stop making experiments like Boom. Just go back from where you came, Sega. It is not worth the risk and you can't risk too much anymore with so many flops.

I still want a HD remaster of any of the old Sonic games. Especially if there's more content too- I don't just want another port.

@DBardo I wish people would stop asking for this. Slapping Adventure 3 onto the box and incorporating features from that series is not going to fix the franchise. Both were good but they were not perfect games by any means.

Much prefer Colours and Generations IMO.

@buildz I completely agree, and I am dying for them to do this. Shouldn't take very long to make, and would satisfy a fan base that has been waiting a long time for greatness, and should financially be a much needed gain. Would be awesome for everyone.

I'd like to see Sega make a game like Sonic Boom, but with the traditional Sonic gameplay. 4 characters, 2 player co-op, etc.

I read “Sonic Team Boss States That There Are No Plans for the Iconic Franchise …” on the sidebar and got scared

YES ! MORE TERRIBLE GAMES, just what we need !

Why does the terrible series always stay alive? Why can't we just have another NiGHTS and Jet Set Radio game Sonic Team?

@Grumblevolcano My wallet couldn't take that.

@Chaoz Or Bonanza Bros.! Or Toy Commander, or anything else they've abandoned.

I hope they bring Sonic CD to eShop

I think if sega would do a line of Sonic 3d Classics people on 3DS would be waiting open arms for new versions of sonic in the future. but thats just 3DS. no clue what they would do for the other systems. these sega 3D classics some of them are just better than most retail games. it would be cool to see sega just unload all of its old ip's into the 3D Classic market.

I'd love to see Sonic get the 'New Super Mario Bros.' treatment. 3D sonics, for the most part, have not been good. Go back to the roots and give us a classic 2d side scroller with a silky smooth frame rate... I'd buy that.

Nintendo should sue the f out of sega if Ryse lf Lyrics was the last of the 3 games for the WiiU/3DS

Give Michel Ancel a crack at a Sonic game. Imagine a 2D Sonic using Ubiart....

@Grumblevolcano "Sonic Adventure 3 already exists, it's called Sonic '06."
EPIC BURN!

2D Sonic will forever win.

Sonic Adventure 3 would be nice, as long as it's made only by the people who worked on the first two, with no additional outside interference whatsoever. Otherwise, portable is the way to go. Try to get ideas from the crazy amounts of fan hacks out there! Re-start with the 16-bit era games and find a niche group there, and offer the games as original, downloadable titles! Anything but what you're doing now!

Sonic Adventure 5 would be Swell (They called 3 "Heroes" and 4 "The same as the original, but people add '06 to it) Oh, and not the GAME version ;3

And you know me "Make another Ristar game!"

sonic i want you to be good and most times you don't disappoint me and sometimes you do. when they create a new sonic make it one of these games: sonic adventure 3 , sonic generations 2 (without the boom version) and a sonic x mega man game , what capcom would work on as-well.
(for anyone who thinks i am a fan-fiction writer , no i am not i got the idea from the sonic x mega man comics , made by archi.

Just get Ian Flynn to write the story, combine lost world and generations gameplay, return playable characters with bad@$$ gameplay and story(Shadow, Blaze, Silver, Knuckles,etc), return crush 40, make it open world, add easter egg levels like stages from past sonic games, and different, new villians like the comics would be welcome. There you go, now call it Sonic Adventure 3 or some cool name and it'll make it rain.

btw for those who keep hashing Sonic 06 as adventure 3 look at this.
http://www.videogamer.com/xbox360/sonic_unleashed/news/sonic_unleashed_began_as_sonic_adventure_3.html
It can still happen imo.

People actually like Lost World?

I really wish they would give up, and quit making video games, they suck really really bad

Srga has been losing money for a while now or so I have read. I don't think any Sonic game can revitalise the franchise.

Sonic is overplayed and needs to retire more so on consoles. I doubt they are enough people that care about Sonic anymore ( except those on this site ) to make another game profitable.

I read this as: "No plans to drop Sonic on home consoles" really means "We are seriously thinking of dropping Sonic on home consoles".

Sonic Runners confirmed for XBOne, August 2016.

In my opinion the problem stems from clunky controls/ gameplay. While Generations was good there are moments to where the controls can be stiff. Sonic tends to feel constricted when moving and jumping which can be frustrating. Sonic Adventures 1 & 2 (Dreamcast versions anyway) I feel had it right in terms movement. Sonic's jumps felt more loose and his running was easier to maintain.
I agree that they should bring back playable character campaigns. It added some variety to the mix and it was interesting to see the main story from different perspectives. Now another thing they need to do is broaden their development time with their games. Sonic games lately have been released once or twice a year. They need to put more time and effort in order to assure quality even if it means delaying it.

@Grumblevolcano Sonic 06 isn't the REAL sequel because the game itself was poorly executed. Besides the title isn't called Sonic Adventure 3 so how can 06 be the real deal?

As much as I don't like people to lose their jobs, I really want Iizuka to either not be the main guy to make Sonic games and just work as a manager or something or just downright leave Sonic Team. Its because of this guy that a LOT of Sonic games are getting bad. He may be credited very well in Colors or Generations but the fact that he didn't make a game like those and did Lost World the way it is just shows how stupid he really is.

Soo, the one thing that lead to their downfall is also the one thing they wont drop ?
Seriously Sega, the Sonic franchise needs to be put on ice. Its pretty obvious that none of your teams, in-house or hired liked to work on stuff like that.
Give it a rest.

Its so hard to swallow that they rather continue a series, that went from being Marios main nemesis to an absolute laughing stock, then to pick up one of their many many excellent other IPs.

How about a new true Shining Force game ? What about your many great racing games like Hang On, Out Run, Sega Rally or Daytona ?
Why not something more obscure, like a sequel to Burning Rangers ?
Or for a more crazy idea, how about freakin Shenmue 3 ?

Nope, it has to be Sonic, the one franchise that is, at this point, as appealing as a pimple.
One of the only franchises, where i could perfectly understand if people just dont want to give it any more chances...

Again, the best course of action in my opinion:
Put Sonic on ice untill the staff REALLY wants to make another one, instead of being ordered to do so.

At this rate, Sega has two ways to go:
The Capcom way: Completely lose their reputation, fanbase and last but not least, a turtle ton of money.
The Konami way: Pretty much fade into obscurity in modern gaming. Just being a footnote of a certain series / developer.

No no, please let Sonic die. He hasn't had a good game in decades, and it's debatable whether he ever did. Why people keep looking forward to new games that turn out to be disappointment after disappointment is beyond me, but you're enabling Sega to pretend that the character is still (and ever was) viable! Stop buying the trash, folks!

That's good to hear, I'll always be a fan of the series. I'm looking forward to what Sega does next, hopefully its good enough to wash the Boom games out of our memories.

The people who just like to constantly jump on the "Sonic is dead" bandwagon every few years always amuses me; why do you desire so much for a series to be "dead" if you probably don't even play the games? Do something more productive with your time.

Haha watching Game Grumps play Sonic Boom was too funny

Good. Sonic shouldn't be mobile only.

Sonic Heroes was originally SA3. Sonic 06 also started as SA3. Even Sonic Unleashed began as SA3. I'm guessing SEGA just gave up after that.

@FilmerNgameR Oh no, anyone but Ian Flynn.

@Inkling Listen, any and ALL 3D Sonic games are better than Boom (Boom is so bad that it makes Sonic 06 look like Ocarina of Time). I know Sonic Team have had their hits and misses, but they would really have to want to screw up their game if it was as bad or worse than Boom.

Just actually take your time with it Sega and don't release it until it's awesome. 1 awesome Sonic game would get so many people back into the franchise.

Sonic Boom is not as bad as everyone keeps going on about. With a bit more time and polish it could have been great. I personally think Sonic Boom was taking the sonic series in the right direction. The speed run sections, platforming sections, combat and co op were all well executed. The graphics, story and characters were all fine. The game was only held back by its poor frame rate and excessive glitching. I had more fun with it than Lost World. The original Sonic Adventure is still hard to beat though.

How about a proper sequel to Rez, or the unreleased DeeDee planet, a port of planet harriers, headhunter 3, shemue 3, being back Alex Kid or Dynamite Dux , update Power Drift.
The list is endless

@Einherjar I agree that the Sonic series needs a break. Porting the classics to other consoles is perfectly fine (e.g. Sonic 2, 3, & Knuckles for 3DS) but new games need a break. SEGA has so many great franchises to choose upon, some I'd really like that's not on your list are Nights, Jet Set Radio and Afterburner though the list goes on.

I know this will probably be unpopular here but I kind of feel the same way about Mario platformers.

He already has a few exclusive smart phone games so this makes sense. Of course there will be more games, kids like Sonic so hes not just a nostalgic character. I enjoyed Lost World on 3DS mostly, and 4 episode 2 I though was a real improvement on the first.

yep and i was one of them

@Grumblevolcano Yup, rereleases are absolutely fine, as these games basically work in favor of the franchise.
In regards to Mario: Yes and No. Its certainly overdone, but these games are generally excellent, thats why i dont really mind them at all.
And Mario starring in different games (Kart, Party, Sports etc) is, in my opinion, really a non issue.
I see it as Miyamoto does: Hes some sort of "digital actor", a blank slate for many roles. And it saves time getting to know your characters, making room for a more gameplay oriented experience.

Sonic on the other hand is not only reinvented everytime, the games tend to be sub par at best. Buying a new Sonic game is like throwing a hand of dice: Youll never know is its going to be a passable game or garbage like Boom was. And at a point like this, you can safely say that this franchise has overstood its welcome.

I didn't get the logic of releasing sonic boom games at the same time as the series and comic. Seeing as the Boom idea was to get new young sonic fans

Surely you release the show first, then the comics and then as you annouce the 2nd series of the show release the game. The old guard was never going to rush to buy boom, which was evident on every one of Sega's social media pages.

@mattmayatt do you know what sucks? Sega has Shenmu 1&2 HD collection "ready to go" but doesn't think it can make money

I'm hoping for a bayonetta style rescue

@mattmayatt do you know what sucks? Sega has Shenmu 1&2 HD collection "ready to go" but doesn't think it can make money

@Nomad That's what people tend to say about 06.

@Einherjar I'm fine with the spinoffs but the main platformer games are way too often. I mean for example in 2012 they released NSMB2 and NSMBU less than 4 months apart.

@Grumblevolcano Well, come on, one was for Handhelds, the other one was for consoles. I wouldnt be soooo picky
The whole "NEW" series wasnt the biggest hit, i admit that. But having a handheld and a console specific release back to back is hardly overwhelming.
For example NSMB Wii came 2009, NSMB U 2012, 3 years in between two 2D Mario titles. I Think thats perfectly fine.
The same goes for 3D Mario games: Galaxy 2 2010, 3D World 2013, also 3 Years.
And, well, one 2D and one 3D Mario game for Handhelds in between.

Compare that to other franchises, like Ubis AC, which is at a point of releaseing two main games at the same time (!).
I personally have no idea why people think that the market is flooded with Mario platformers to be honest, because the closest gap was back in 1988, when SMB 2 and 3 were released in the same year. Everything else had at least 2 years in between.

And you have to differantiate between console and handheld releases, as there are plenty of people out there that dont own both platforms.

The WiiU launched back in 2012 and has 2 main Mario games so far, the Wii had 3 by its fourth year.
The 3DS is also four years old and still only has two main Mario games.
So i really dont know if that already counts as "too often"

Make a few bad Sonic games, suddenly it's dead? Just say you want Sega to work on something else, because that's what you really mean.

@Grumblevolcano Or unleashed ... Personnaly i really liked Sonic Unleashed. It was even supposed to be called Sonic World Adventure.

Sonic 3D games are probably harder to make than Mario 3D games - sonic speed means a bigger stage is required in every of its 3D game. Also, recycling the same stage using the trick of adding time limit somehow works well in Mario 3D games but not Sonic games. Therefore, Sonic Team probably wants Sonic to be slower, as in Sonic Lost World, but the feedback is mixed (some loves it but others do not).

Anyhow, I really do not want to mix Nintendo with Sonic - Nintendo's platformers have a style that share among each other - much lower, more exploration than speed, et ceteria... I am unsure if it is always a good thing.

Just make another Colors or Generations. SEGA's efforts to "shake Sonic up" Just end up sucking. Well, Lost World was decent, I'll give them that.

I honestly wouldn't be sad if sonic left, it might give Sega time to work on franchises that have been long dormant, or maybe even work on new ones!

I just wish they gave themselves more time to work on the actual game. I think they push too hard to release it in time for the holiday season and the games suffer for it.

Sonic needs himself a good game.

It's really hard to get excited for a new Sonic game these days.

Sonic Lost World had some issues but overall i'd say it was a rather good game and a sequel would be great, it's issues could be easily rectified. It was my favourite Sonic since Adventure 1.

@Einherjar I will never understand why people want Shemmue 3 so badly or expect Sega to have faith in such a project ever again.

Shemmue 1 was nothing but a massive loss for Sega. Its budget was so huge that even though it sold well, it never sold enough to make money back for Sega. The franchise was a failure, and likely one of the major reason why Sega went down as a console maker.

I personally don't want to see them do another one.

They have so many other IPs that could be revived like Golden Axe, classic Phantasy Star, Shining Force, Panzer Dragoon, Eternal Champions, Streets of Rage, Ecco, and Skies of Arcadia.

All of those deserve a revival just as much as Shemmue, but that series is the one I always see people bring up in terms of seeing a revival and bashing Sega for not making a new game.

I understand many people discovered Shemmue over the years, but its a series that was a massive money pit for Sega and the creator of the game left Sega years ago.

It won't be the same now, ten years later. Sega is not going to invest any real money into it, and the game won't be the same if Yu Suzaki can't get on board.

Sega needs to revive tons of series. Shemmue is not one of them.

This news does not surprise me in the slightest. I personally love a strong majority of Sonic games released, except for the Sonic the Hedgehog 4 games. Sonic Lost World was quite a gem. Love that game.

@Caryslan Absolutely right.
But consider the two things: At its time, Shenmue was a highly ambitious title, possibly biting off mor ethan it could chew.
Nowadays, such a game would be half as complicated to make and, depending on the platform, half as expansive.

And Shenmue is some sort of "mystical super game from ancient past" on the Internet. Its surrounded by massive hype.
I never played the series, but i mentioned it, because its one of the most demanded and probably most well known IPs out there.

But youre also totally right regarding their many other IPs.
Phantasy Star, as a strictly sci fi classic JRPG would be a welcome addition to the genre, that is dominated by high fantasy and / or steampunk settings.
Even the Star Ocean series is more oriented towards high fantasy themes than anything.

Panzer Dragoon is an all time favourite of mine. And a well made Sequel to Panzer Dragoon Saga would probably blow some minds.

They have so many unique IPs under their belt that simply vanished into obscurity. And even the more obvious ones, like Shenmue, are left untouched. In a world, where devs strife for fotorealism, a martial arts "life simulator" could be THE sleeper hit. Im personally not a big fan, but there are plenty out there.

But they cling onto Sonic, as if it is their sole life line, when in reality, it is their anchorn, dragging them down deeper and deeper.

@Einherjar One IP that I don't get is Eternal Champions. It was popular on the Genesis and was popular on the Sega CD.

With the recent revival of fighting game series like Mortal Kombat, Killer Instinct, Street Fighter, Marvel, and other series, I don't understand why Sega has no intrest in trying to tap into this market.

A game like Eternal Champions if handled correctly could be a successful game, and might even give Sega some brownie points if done corretcly.

To be blunt, Sega's lack of concern of fighting games is a bit shocking and sad given I was a Saturn owner. I don't care what people say, the Saturn has a better selection of fighting games then the N64 and PS1 did, and Sega's own efforts like Virtua Fighter 2, Fighters Megamix, Last Bronx, and Fighting Vipers went a long way to making that argument.

But we are closing on ten years since Virtua Fighter came out, and no sign of 6. Their other fighting game franchises that could do well with a revival are dead and forgotten.

As a fan of Sega when they made hardware, it makes me sad to see how far they have fallen. They could be the top third-party developer in Japan, especially given how much Capcom and Konami have fallen.

Where is the company that proudly did games that were different from anything on Nintendo or Playstation? Where is the company that kept putting out arcade classics that not only were popular, but some of them like Virtua Fighter created a whole new genre? Where are their IPs that defined their hardware?

Sega does nothing to honor their legacy. They can't even put out a collection of their arcade games or games on other platforms that aren't the Genesis. I love the Genesis, but how many collections of the same games have we gotten from them?

Where are the Master System, Game Gear, Sega CD, 32X, or Dreamcast collections? I'll give a pass to the Saturn since its very tricky to emulate, but there is no excuse for the sheer number of Sega games that sit forgotten in a vault somewhere collecting dust.

The Sega of today is not the company that I played my first video games on. Sega today is a hollow shell of a company that gets by on bad Sonic games, and outsourced licensed game that almost all suck(with some exceptions) while having their money stolen by other companies like Gearbox.

People talk about how badly Square Enix and Capcom have fallen in recent years, but I don't think anything can compare to Sega. How do you go from a company that once beat Nintendo at their own game and defined video gaming to a operation that is fine putting out crappy Sonic games and dragging their mascot through the mud for a few bucks?

Even having to leave hardware does not explain Sega's problems. They could have been a top-tier third-party developer. But now, they are nothing but a joke.

I agree with what you said about Sonic being an anchor holding Sega back. While I don't think the franchise should go away forever, I say put it on hiatus for a few years.

Give the franchise time to recover from the bad titles of the past decade before bringing it back with the right people working on it.

Maybe a few years off will be what Sega needs to revive the Sonic franchise. It worked with series like Mortal Kombat and Tomb Raider.

Oh god... I think they just need to let a bunch of fresh minds work on a sonic game and see what they come up with. Sonic used to be something I would be excited to play but now most of the games that have Sonic in the title are trash. I hope one day Sonic returns back to his former self...but right now I can't see that happening.

@CharlyDunst lol I understand what happened before the reboot but honestly he's been doing a good job making the main two comics more interesting than ever and much more connected to canon sonic games than any sonic game in years imo.

@Caryslan well said!! As a huge sega fan I agree 300%!! And will they ever jump on the wii u vc and get with posting their many many classics?? Don't understand why they haven't yet!!

@Einherjar Lol "the Capcom way"

@Caryslan "Where is the company that proudly did games that were different from anything on Nintendo or Playstation?"

The answer to that is rather simple, really.
What is the biggest critique Nintendo has to face these days ? Exactly, not making everything exactly like the others.
But other than Sega, Nintendo is really stubborn, probably even "oldschool" not to change their ways in the slightest.
And now look at what the mentioned japanese companies did before they literally fell apart...
They changed...and no, this is no "change is bad" rant. But a japanese company is a japanese company. Pretending to be more westernized then a western company is a sure missfire.
It was for Capcom, it was for Konami and it was for Sega.
The company that still hold their old mascots dear ? The one still being very "jaanesy" ? Nintendo, the only one still being in the game.

In Segas Genesis age, their portfolio was unique and a definite contrast compared to Nintendo. Thats what made them interesting, and thats what made the whole "console wars" thing worthwhile.

The next gen ? Nintendo was THE multiplayer / party / "playing with friends" console, Sony offered new, grand games with the Playstation and Sega ? Sega strived for arcade perfection with the Saturn...and they succeeded !
Be it Shmups, Fighters etc. If youre into arcade games, there is no way around a saturn. But thats not all ! Panzer Dragoon Saga turned RPGs upside down, Shining Force 3 was the most ambitious sRPG up to this point.

The Dreamcast made online gaming accessable and paved the way for things like Xbox Life.
They were innovators, rebels. They aimed for goals, no one else targeted and thus accumulated one of the most dedicated fanbases ever.
Heck, people are still developing official releases for the Dreamcast !

Then, they tried to be the crowd pleaser. To become more "westernized", to appeal to an audience, that would never be interested in them, no matter what.

"Where is the company that proudly did games that were different from anything on Nintendo or Playstation?"

Its right there with Capcom and Konami. Three of the four Kings of the golden console age are dead.
And thats exactly why i can deal with Nintendo being "behind the times".
Because they are still the Nintendo, i loved back then.
Still not doing what others dictate, like the others used to do too.

I really enjoyed Sonic Lost World!

@Einherjar That was a good read. You sir have soul.

What most people don't understand is that the real problem with Rise Of Lyric is not Big Red Button, the real problem is the board members of SEGA of Japan, they are the ones who are in control, they don't care about quality, otherwise they would have allowed Big Red Button to take their time on Rise Of Lyric and make it a classic, but no, SEGA of Japan only puts money over quality, that's why they pushed Big Red Button to rush out Rise Of Lyric, that's why they push Sonic Team to rush out their unfinished broken products out on the market, for the sake of SEGA of Japan making a quick buck. so here is what id like. Before there is any new Sonic game in the works, I would like for SEGA of Japan to have a serious restructure, "The Right Restructure", where the "Right" people, the people who value quality, are put in charge of SEGA of Japan, If that ever happens, maybe SEGA as well as their mascot Sonic can return to glory, and future Sonic games, regardless of genre, will be treated like great classics that stand the test of time. So yeah, I don't want there to be a new Sonic game any time soon, I would like for all the boardmembers of SEGA of Japan to lose their jobs and be replaced with the "Right" people, then I will anticipate a new Sonic game (a really great one).

Holds pillow to Sonic's face "JUST LET HIM DIE! PLEASE SEGA! JUST LET HIM DIE QUIETLY!"

Seriously though. Sonic needs a vacation. Why not dig up one of your other derelict IP's and make a new game for them instead, Hm Sega?

@Mr_M
Same happened to 06. If freakin SEGA weren't so butthurt of releasing a new sonic game for the 15th anniversary and released it for his 16th "birthday" it would've been a whole lot better. Seriously tho, SEGA needs new people.

@AshFoxX Yep.
