Why didn't SEGA just make a Saturn Sonic game using the NiGHTS engine instead of the turd that was Burning Rangers?

They (SEGA of America) tried to and Yuji Naka sperged the fuck out and said he'd walk from the company if they let the American division use his engine, while simultaneously refusing to work on a Sonic Saturn game himself until it was too late.

Thanks god, X-treme looked like shit.

Sega was a hot mess during the saturn's lifespan and had no fucking idea how to handle anything going on around them. Whether that be because of the 32X confusion or the looming threat of the playstation, everything they could've done right at the time was squandered because of the panic.

Naka and Lizuka are both hacks.

I don't think X-Treme would've been that bad if it actually came out. It looked pretty fun, to be honest.

It did come out; it's called Sonic Lost World.

Christmas Nights has playable Sonic using the Nights engine and its awkward.
Also, screw you, I freaking love Burning Rangers. Just wish it had more levels.

Does Burning Rangers emulate well?

Also i honestly never heard of this game until Sonic Racing Transformed

because sonic is nearly impossible to make a fun jump n run, because of the high speed and slow physics based controls. Especially in 3d. A huge problem are on rails parts in sonic, easy to make but boring as fuck.

I'm glad Sega crashed and burned. It made for great comedy.

I'm not. The vidya industry is in a much shittier state than if it had stayed just Nintendo vs. SEGA.
