My God! This game is the epitome of American Kirby! At least at Nintendo consoles they mostly did that shit only at the games covers while the game themselves look exactly like in Japan. Like all these anime-style games that had Americanized cover but the game themselves still have anime style.

People here think that the character not doing basedface is bad and no, ristar is a shitty character design in the first place.

[Anonymous No.11091102]

Sonic was supposed to be cute and silly in the first game, and they made him edgier in 2 and 3 to appeal to Americans who actually liked the games.

More of an inbetween really. They always planned the character to have a mix of edginess & cuteness

because america is historically a bully nation. look at how many wars and dismay it has caused, including japan. preference for rage and anger just symbolizes domination over other nations. usa is an empire and nato is its running dog

Americans don't know anything unless they're told, so "mean eyes" must be used to tell them when something is "bad" (it's why they're still unaware of jews)

They didn't made him edgier to appeal to Americans. They made him edgier because that's how the American instructed them. Just like they made lots of other changes at the first Sonic game because Sega of America's staff was overdemanding. And yet fanboys wonder why Sega of Japan hated Sega of America, especially since SoA couldn't even make one fucking Sonic game for Saturn.

Sega of America's work in creating Sonic's image and Sega of Japan making excellent games created an extremely loyal fanbase that continues to buy and play utterly awful games years and years later because of the collaborative effort in those early years. You can not deny that both parties were extremely successful when they actually worked together and weren't being petty faggots later on. Of course Sega of America couldn't create a Saturn Sonic game when Yuji Naka openly sabotaged their best effort.

Are you trying to say that the Americans made the change to make it LESS appealing?

Given the current state of civilization they were probably correct.

Yuji Naka didn't "sabotaged" it. He just didn't allowed them using Nights engine not only because they tried doing that without his permission but also because it wouldn't work for that game. Besides even before trying to use Nights' engine, the game was already in development hell since SoA couldn't make even one good game by themselves. Most good Western games for Sega were made by Europeans while SoA was mostly making trash like Sega CD shitty FMV games.

They were also teaching boys crap like "hitting women is not okay" despite all these "muh equality bullshit", "violence/revenge isn't the answer", "racism bad" etc.

Why the hell would they need his permission to use a company asset? Oh I'm so vewy sowwy Mr. Naka-san, I should have kissed your boots and asked you to use this key aspect of development that we had open access to. Kill yourself.

>It wouldn't work for that game
Uh-huh.

You sound mad. Is it that hard to admit that it was SoA's fault they couldn't make a Sonic game on time?

You're close. It was mostly third-party devs like Virgin who kind of dropped off after fourth gen. SoA did however make the Ecco games, Eternal Champions, and Sonic Spinball.

My question to you is, how do you feel about Naoto Ohshima, who designed Sonic CD and Sonic Superstars? Personally I feel like SEGA CD (and possibly the 32X) had a lot more potential for Sonic games than Saturn did. In the long run it kind of feels like Ohshima cared a little more than Naka did.

Most of the time it's not "Americans" who are deciding what is sold, it's executives and publishers and whatever else. Marketing guys will constantly say stuff like "anime will never sell" "cute will never sell", and then one day you'll get something like Pokemon, and it just sells. Right? That's just the way of the world.

Western insect “localizers” always demand changes to Japanese games just so they can larp that they were in involved in the development since they are unable to produce soulful console games on their own.
