How is dead? Sega finally learned how to make awesome 3D Sonic game which are also appealing to the fans of the 2D Sonic games from Sonic Colors and after. Moreover Sonic Rush and Sonic Colors on DS are from the best 2D Sonic games that improved the formula.

I didn't know a minor character's name had such a pull in a multimillion dollar franchise.

But she was in Sonic Spinball...

Princess of Mobius, very prominent in the SatAM cartoon from 1993.

Probably should have said "why Sonic died" instead.
I kind of see Amy as the poster child of the whole posse that was brought along with Sonic Adventure 1&2, and since I read the comics long before I ever played SA I have this dislike for how it went from the freedom fighters against Robotropolis to the "defending the Earth against a kooky villain".
Sonic Colors was great, I agree on that. Never played Sonic Rush though.

>>Probably should have said "why Sonic died" instead.
When did he died at the video games?

>>1218689
I consider when SEGA went past Genesis to be the start of the decline (still riding pretty high at that time though), and SA2 to be the definite "death" of the franchise up to Sonic Colors.

Sonic Advance was fun though, but really not enough to carry the franchise, especially on a handheld when it was so prominently a console-based franchise.

Sonic Advance series was disappointing, expecially due to the cheap deaths which were results of bad level design, something unheard-of for 2D Sonic games.

They were planning to make a Sonic game on Genesis based on the cartoon series with Sally. Fortunately they cancelled it because Yuki Naka rejected this stupid idea.

If you mean the 2.5D shitfest sneak-platformer thing then I agree, it looked and played nothing like a Sonic game and it would probably have been "that one wannabe MGS Sonic game" that sent Sonic down the drain.
Still, I think Sonic with the Mobius storyline would have made for better games than the whole Sonic X-ish games that became the thing that we have now.

>In Genesis era (before the release of PSX and MGS)

>>1218924
Well I don't know how else to explain it, it looked like a shitty sneaker beatemup from what I've seen.

I'm kinda terrible at unreleased games and placing them chronologically, since they're (surprise) unreleased.

Get better reflexes or quit playing video games, it's your choice.

Get better taste in video games or STFO.

great remix ost. worthy of adding onto the ipod

I think by the time they redesigned Sonic, it became garbage. I recently began to play SA and I really don't like it, I think it's ok at best and had a lot of great ideas but meh. Sonic and Knuckles was the last good Sonic Game.I have yet to play Sonic Gen but I have heard a lot of good things so I will give it a try when i get the chance. I liked the Advance games, they were an interesting series and good in a league of its own but never compared to the originals.

I prefer Amy's redesign on the grounds that it's NOT just a pink Sonic with bangs, eyelashes, and clothes with an awful color scheme.
