You're so wrong. SEGA is in it's best financial state they have ever been. Making Sanic gaems isn't desperation, it's a luxury they can afford to waste money on.

There was so much autism in that trailer I genuinely can't tell if you're being serious.

You bet your ass I am! Give me a single good explanation as to why they keep Team Sonic around if it wasn't just because they want to. SEGA doesn't cling onto Sanic as an act of desperation. They can just afford to lose money with it, apparently.

Just LOOK at what Rosalina and the story that was implemented behind Shiggy's back did to Mario. 1000% cancer. It's AIDS². Don't give the autists even one inch because they will take a mile!

People gave a fuck about Galaxy's story? That's news to me!

No, people didn't. Waifufags did. The Rosalina thirst is creepy as shit and has a whole different quality to it than just Peach porn. Because Rosalina has that whole bedtime story book shit attached to her and an origin story and such.
Has Peach been ruined? No. Rosalina? Absolutely. The difference is that one has fuckall as a story for autists to attach their headcanon shit to while the other one has lore ripe for self-inserts and incestious fantasies.

So Peach is the Princess? Then who is Daisy?

Some other one from the Gameboy games.

A pallet swap.

Like I said, they have to be. This is why people who want Nintendo to go third party so they can make more Metroid and F-Zero are idiots.

Fuck you and your mother

Shadow was a mistake.

And I also think that Sega's actually doing pretty well. Not only have they made a ton of their old stuff available for PC (just like SNK), but I also think that they would've died out a while ago if all they could rely on was Sanic games.

Yakuza seems to have really blown up lately. We went from never fucking getting these games translated to now suddenly there are a bunch either out in the USA or coming soon. SEGA seems to have realized there's a market for that series outside of Japan.

I mean, if you look at the history of Yakuza releases, after Yakuza 2 they really seemed to give up on the west and Yakuza. Yakuza 3 had a bunch of shit cut from it because of cultural fears (minigames not translating well or something) and I don't remember how long the west had to wait for Yakuza 3 and Yakuza 4 vs Japan. I DO know that the west waited years for Yakuza 5 AND THEN still only had a digital PSN store release for it. No physical.

But now there's a Yakuza 1 remake getting a localization (I think) and Yakuza Zero is out or coming soon. I feel like I forgot something else.

Sanic is probably the worst long-running game franchise Sega has. Maybe one of the worst overall. The fucking Boxcelios game from Yakuza is better than most Sanic gaymes.

Reminds me to go check out Yakuza eventually.

She's also a princess, but from Sarasaland. I think Nintendo forgot about her for years until they figured she would make a good Peach equivalent for Luigi.

And fuck me, fans are weird when it comes to injecting deep lore into the Marioverse.

How hard is it to just make another Sonic Adventure? That was the only 3D game worth a damn. Do that--just DO that.

Those games aged like shit. Go back and play them, the controls are ass.

This.

People can say what they want about the Adventure titles being "classics", but the terrible control schemes, irritating extended cast, and godawful plots are what essentially catalyzed the downfall of the franchise & would plague future entries to come.

The games in that period were dumb fun at best but i don't have as bad an opinion since i never really got glitches or problems with the controls until '06, i know they are bad but i can still play them for some dumb fun to waste time

On some loops and if you go fast enough in certain levels, you can fly off of the ramps (generally to the side) entirely and die due to the way the geometry seems to be bugged or some shit. There's a lot of stuff like that in Adventure 1 and 2 IIRC.
