Big Red Button finally admitted that it was their mistakes to screw up sonic. To recall, they had five years of developing time:

According to Rafei, the problem with Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric was the team being overly ambitious.

"First and foremost, we wanted to make sure it was a strong platformer, that we were true to Sonic’s sense of speed," Rafei says about early ideas for the game. "We had an amazing early start to the project. We had a very strong prototype. Everything was looking very good."

Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Needs to Excite A Mainstream Audience in 2016

Nintendo does not make games with mature content - what I mean by mature content is not violence, but content that is suitable for adults. Look at Life is Strange on PC and other consoles and you will understand why. Sometimes a game does not need to be high in review scores - it just need to suit the target audience. That is no point to an adult player when a game has a perfect score for kids.

Retail games are usually cheaper than digital downloads. If you are willing to wait a bit, a US$59.99 game can be purchased in a retail store or amazon for $49.99 or cheaper. For countries outside America, a new release usually cost 8 dollars cheaper immediately.

So what is the incentive of buying online? The reward from buying downloadable games is usually offset by the discount from buying physical copies anyway.
