I was in the midst of typing a long-winded paragraph, when I realized that after Sonic lost his home due to Sega not manufacturing consoles any longer, the games began to lose creativity. I feel like Sonic Heroes and Rush were the last good games. I enjoyed everything from the original to the Sonic Adventure games. Every spinoff game in between was just icing on the cake. Afterwards, Unleashed really killed it for me due to being on an unfamiliar console, and looking really cheesy and different in a bad way. And that icing on the cake slowly went from being the homemade-with-love kind to the standard store brand, with more candles every year.
But in all seriousness, Sega has been neglecting it's brands. Where has Super Monkey Ball, Samba de Amigo, Jet Set Radio, etc gone?
The problem is that we barely have any games on the virtual console. Seriously, Nintendo could be making some serious money if they re-released all their old titles. We don't even have the original Pokemon games!
