Football is life here to the point any stranger will often talk about it to spark up conversation in the street so FIFA was always going to have an advantage in this region.
Doesn't help that Nintendo did a truly awful job for years treating the UK like an afterthought. Sega and later Sony both took advantage of this to become Britain's dominant console providers.
The Master System and MegaDrive were the dominant consoles here due to Nintendo neglecting this region for so long, and the PlayStation and PlayStation 2 both quickly became the top consoles of their times too.
With all those factors against them it's impressive Ocarina managed to make it to the top of the pile here even once.
The animation is good on a technical level, but it's also a little too fluid and ends up looking off at times with body shapes warping to showcase speed.
Also clashes a lot with what we're used to from Sonic which is probably causing issue for some.
Sega likely canned it due to it being so different. No clue why they made Eggman's teeth yellow either. Just looks unpleasant.
Honestly the best Sonic related thing for years. Not that I thought the movie or Mania were bad, but the show is just another level with it's comedic timing.
The plot sounds pretty standard but Ian Flynn tends to do a decent job with his plots in IDW and the handling of the extended cast. At least we should expect Tails to not be a coward, Knuckles to not be an idiot and Amy to have some level of competence.
Shadow if he's there will still act like bargain basement Cell Saga Vegeta though. Sega seems to be pushing that change.
Alex Kidd in Miracle World DX recently got an update that apparently fixed some of the problems you guys had in the review with the wonky hitboxes.
Bit of a shame it came out post launch as I feel the damage has been done by JankenTeam ironically being too respectful of the original game and mapping the hit and hurtboxes to the retro sprites only.
Alex Kidd was bigger in the UK and Europe than Mario for a (very brief) time but that's largely because Nintendo didn't really bother to market the NES here.
Alex Kidd's face is still being used to sell Master Systems over in Brazil though through their plug in and play sets.
If nothing else Alex Kidd fans can take solace in him being the face of the longest selling console of all time.

Re: Amazingly, Zelda: Ocarina Of Time Is Nintendo's Only UK Christmas Number 1 Since 1984
Not that surprising overall.
