Imagine being a pachinko company and trying so hard to conquer the video game market to the point where you just imitate Sonic but fail because you don't know shit about developing platformers

Alex the Kid deserved better. Miracle World and Shinobi World are more fun than any of Sanic's games.

There was a recent remake which also allows you to switch to original game with 8-bit graphics and shit. It's funny because when you play remake it's an absolute trash and if you switch to original, it gets slightly better and actually fun, but overall, the gameplay had aged horribly. I don't know how things like this can happen, many retro games still plays fine but Alex Kidd feels ultra-vintage. There are $1 indies that offer better gameplay now.

If Sega weren't a bunch of idiots and actually did something wortwhile with all their franchises instead of feeding on nostalgiafags buying another Sonic 1 re-release, Alex Kidd could be properly updated and receive a second chance. It's a good concept but it needs to be modernized at least a tiny bit.

Aero the acrobat? I wonder how much sunsoft spent marketing Aero the Acrobat that faggot was in every magazine all the time but that first level with that circus music I absolutely hated it.
It surprises me it got a sequel and a spinoff so I don't know how much of a failure he was. All I know is you could rent him anywhere but I don't remember anybody owning it.
