Yes, it’s time. We’ve ranked Sony franchises. We’ve ranked Nintendo franchises. We’ve even ranked the franchises of a company that doesn’t have any franchises. Sega is the next logical step, and it’s a fascinating one, spanning just about every era of gaming history. Here is Every Sega Franchise Ranked From WORST To BEST!

I really think you should have separated the 2D Sonic games from the 3D Sonic games on this list so we can see where they rank separately considering if you at least don't count Sonic labyrinth or Sonic 3D blast, the 2D Sonic games maybe other than Sonic blast are going to be rated really high. It would be curious to see how things actually go with the 3D Sonic games as long as you don't include spin-offs like Sonic shuffle which would definitely bring it down for the Sonic kart racing games which I think would actually bring it up since all three are pretty good especially transformed which I think is incredible, and of course don't include the Sonic riders games since those are also racing spinoffs. I'd love to see where the 3D Sonic games rank if you just include the 3D platformers starting from Sonic adventure all the way to Sonic forces since at the time this video came out Sonic Frontiers didn't even release and maybe that games a different category anyways.

What makes no sense for me is that they put Devil Children and Last Bible apart, along with Majin Tensei, Devil Summoner and Persona, that are way higher. While they're considering DDS Megami Tensei and SMT as just one series. They could consider Megami Tensei as a whole in that case. Or rather, Shin Megami Tensei as its own too.

@mariano3716 2 года назад

There were some Sapo Xulé spin-offs as well. Master System was the first really mainstream console in Brazil, mostly because it came with games on its internal memory, it was cheap and it had local support (with Portuguese-written instruction booklets and covers) through Tec-Toy. Plus, NES games were heavily pirated, with many generic consoles compatible with its cartridges (the small ones), like Top Game (which I owned) and Turbo Game (which, oddly, had a upside-down controller). The only real competition came with the 16-bits war (on which the Genesis - Mega Drive, if you wanna get Brazilian about it - had the lead), with the Playstation obliterating everyone else when it arrived, mostly because pirated games were HELLA CHEAP. I mean 1U$D cheap, so a lot of people would save money to get it. Before that, a lot of poor people's contact with videogames was through placeds where you paid by hour to play it.

@@H0lyMoley Finally, someone else says it. I much preferred Shadow Dancer on the Genesis, despite the one hit deaths. They had to actually design the levels, instead of asking you to just power your way through their lack of imagination.

@H0lyMoley 2 года назад

@@juststatedtheobvious9633 Did really like Shadow Dancer. It had some great tunes as well (another thing Shinobi 3 bizarrely lacked. They really went overboard making the music complex, missing the simple but insanely catching tunes in Revenge and Shadow Dancer.)

Long comment below. ⏬ ⏬ Seeing Sonic being this low is very questionable. The funny thing is that most sonic games that gotten low scores by critics (0-49%) aren't even considered bad. Except for a few games like Shadow, Secret Rings, 06 (06 had decent moments, but I get why people hate it.) and Rise of Lyrics. Here's an example of a low scored sonic game that I and others considered good: Sonic and the Black Knights (Decent writing, awesome characterization, last good sonic story. I never really liked the gameplay. This and Sonic Unleashed felt like truly the last sonic games where Sonic Team had tried.) *Tl;dr* Not all low scored Sonic Games are bad. Journalists (Mainly IGN, Metacritics, Gamespot and Nintendo Life) just sucks at reviewing at Sonic games.

Quick shout out to Yakuza: Like a Dragon. I didn't really get it for the first few hours , then I got sucked right in. I love that game with a passion. Advice to anyone, don't be turned away by not knowing or thinking you'll enjoy a Yakuza game. I was the same. If you like JRPGs it is a must play.

It bears mentioning that the Alex Kidd remake you showed and mentioned in passing just came out in June 2021. Hard to write it off as forgotten when it’s a new release. You can switch between the original and updated versions any time, with a trigger.

You really should've broken Sonic into 2D and 3D (especially since you broke Sonic Advance into another series). The games are fundamentally different enough to make that differentiation, and it would have given Sonic a more respectable placing on the list. (I will admit that the Adventure series couldn't be included, since it has only had 2 games.) I'm not even a Sonic fan, but if you get hate from Sonic fans, I feel like it's at least somewhat warranted. (Though the rabidity of any such hatred will likely be several volumes too high.)

@ChrisTomson 2 года назад

Ill always remember the last day of that game and how everyone went to the Falz Memorial to hang out with the GM's before they pulled the plug. xSTx Zach was my character name if anyone was on at the time!

From what I understand, Atlus won't release Devil Summoner because the original source code went missing/was destroyed accidentally (reports vary). It is a shame. Soul Hackers was the last great old school SMT game and still holds up. To bad we may never play the original. Also Raido Kuzinoha needs a new game. He is way too cool to not get a new one.

There were only 2 EC games, but if one wanted to count spinoffs of the character before they entered the contest in limbo, there was Chicago Syndicate for Game Gear and one other game. Daytona never got sequels, just updates. But they made 4 TJ&E games, 1, Panic on Funkitron, the new release (if they count Shenmue as a Sega series despite the third game ridding itself of all Sega elements, the TJ&E should count too) plus Ready Aim Tomatoes on the Menacer 6 pack
