How SEGA left Sonic for Dead 

There was a large gap between Lost world to Forces and then Forces to Frontiers. I am in agreement with you, those times sucked but were partially due to the slow and steady approach of the 2010's.

Thanks to the 2nd Movie and Frontiers, I doubt we will ever go back. Those made BANK in 2022. If it even caused SEGA start up older franchises then we have never been so high.

I think the drought from 2017 though 2021 was warranted because I don't want Sega-Atlus to keep rushing Sonic games or else We would end up with another Sonic 06 or Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric, if We'd got Sonic Adventure 3 released in 2021 and it was a buggy mess (especially how successful Sonic Movie 1 was at that time) it would have done more harm to the brand (which is why I don't want Sonic Adventure 3 and would rather have Sega-Atlus stick with the Open Zone Formula) Yes it sucks look at fans of Half-Life and how long it's been between Half-Life 2: Episode Two and the Orange Box though Today and how VALVe left their fans with nothing new, fans of Half-Life are still waiting on if Valve are going to reboot Half-Life 2: Episode Three.

@@1upGaming1up One of the points of my video is how more time does not really mean more quality when it comes to Sega. Sonic 2 and Adventure 2 for example (For their time) were impressive but made in short time. Frontiers had time but it was not managed well and still on a limited budget.

You have to factor in the size of games and that modern games with higher quality graphics take more time to make. Sonic 2 was an hour long 2D pixel art game. SA2 had like 3 years to develop, which isn't really bad for an earlyish 3D game on the dreamcast. From 1985 to 1990 you had smb1, smb2 JP, smb2 US, smb3, and Super Mario World. From the five year timespan of 1986 to 1991 you also had 3 mainline Zelda games, which is 3 times more than people expect today. This graphics effect isn't everything (these games were also much shorter than what their IPs offer today), but it's still overall more time consuming to develop decent graphics today than it was 30 or 20 years ago. Modern AAA games all take a while and have very high budgets dedicated to graphics. That said, the main issue is that the franchise is mismanaged and the people who make official Sonic games just haven't been competent. I'm sure extra dev time does mean more quality, it's just that there's other things in effect and that it doesn't really show when, again, the devs aren't good. Lost World wouldn't have been a better game if it came out a year sooner. Frontiers got delayed and I don't think anyone would say that was for the worse. I think Forces is really just an anomaly of gross incompetence where they spent most of the time developing a new engine instead of the game. The problem with Sonic games that turn out bad is also sometimes definitely that they didn't have enough time in the oven, like 06 or Boom. Heroes is another game that could have benefitted from more time, considering how that game kind of went through dev hell with only one level designer and (iirc) being told at one point that they also had to make a ps2 port in the middle of development. Those development problems and not having enough time showed in how you had to play through the game 4 times to actually beat it, and I feel like that was a crutch which they could have mitigated by diversifying the teams had they had more time. Then again, Unleashed took a little under 2 years to develop, and it not only had a decent length to it but a lot of people like it. It did have to be padded with the werehog being most of the game though. Colors and Gens didn't take much time either, but they have a lot of 2D and are pretty short games. Basically, my main point is that I do think more dev time = better game in a vacuum, and this still applies to Sonic games, but that they have often fumbled with this time. Sonic games like Lost World and Forces that aren't very good aren't good in spite of this dev time, and the time does help in making a game that's better than it would have been with less time. I think Frontiers is something that really shows this.

Completely fair, but I don't enjoy playing a lot of the game anymore. Most missions are a big miss in my opinion even when it was new. I do not like the classic Sonic levels either. Basically only the modern Sonic stages still appeal to me. Shadow and Chaos boss fights are good, but not the rest. It might be worth doing a dedicated video on the subject.

@@TheRealMightyEmperor I like Generations

​@@TheRealMightyEmperorThe story may not be special. But I think the game doesn't have an story in mind. And quite frankly, story has never been the series strongpoint anyways.

@@jaretco6423 It's not just the story that bothered me, but like I say in the video if there ever was a time to put some effort in, the anniversary with marvel styled cross over potential would be that game.

@@TheRealMightyEmperor I understand where your coming from. But personally, I still think Generations is an heck of alot of fun and I have no issue with it.

That choice was so bad. It is one of the things I consider a low point.

@TheRealMightyEmperor Agreed. I'm so glad they hired Korone, a.k.a. someone who actually _likes_ the franchise, and gave Arin the boot after years of letting him slander the series in the name of "brand recognition."

@@TheDWithin I do not know who Korone is, but what were they hired to do?

@@TheRealMightyEmperor Basically, promote the brand. Korone is from hololive.

The best game for the most part was Mania, which like you say whilst good was still 2d at the end of the day.

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--VXoiDzHSHI.htmlsi=5mHTckfrG_Cm5Vqt

straight facts, i actually knew at the time of the original movie design that if they didn’t change it, sonic was actually gonna be done for. thank god that didn’t happen.

Yeah your right if they haven't changed the original design then sonic would've been in the grave by now.

It's easy to forget that original design now but... Yeah that would not have gone well.

@@alejandroaguilar2012Nah. I highly doubt that would have been the end of Sonic.

I'm not going to lie before the movies I was ready to give up on Sega and Sonic, someone like me that grew up playing the very first video game Sonic the hedgehog on the Sega Genesis and seeing Sonic go so down hill to the point where it's embarrassing yeah I'm glad Sega started to care again ever since they gave up on the Dreamcast and with the failure of Sonic 06 I can see how Sega started going down this dark Hill to the sad point of 2010s

Let us hope.

Cleary critic pleasing did not help them. Chao garden return would be appreciated I am sure.

​@@TheRealMightyEmperorI would love the Chao Garden to return. With modders showing what could added to the Garden to updated graphics for it I think the Chao Garden would be successful. Just imagine all the fans who would like to raise Cheese's stats and evolve Cheese. Not to mention using Chao as power-ups.

Yes Chao Garden Extended is great!

​@@TheRealMightyEmperor It is. Yet it would be great to see a modern take. Yet I think they would need to update the coloration for some of the Two-tone Chao though. Especially the red-two Chao, green Two-tone Chao, white Two-tone Chao, and the normal Two-tone Chao second evolutions and the Power power normal Two-tone Chao. Yet in the Chao in Space video released years ago it looked like they updated the Two-tone normal fly type by making it purple and the tips of it's limbs a different shade of green though.

@@zenvariety9383 Sad that was the only new Chao content from Sega after all this time.

Especially when the twitter team took pride in making fun of themselves just to survive. Tough times.

Good suggestions

Not to mention how they interrupted the development of Sonic Boom rise of lyric

Why couldn't Sega be more like Gods that could do no wrong?

You have a good point here. A lot of the future will be determined by how much Sega will care.

Sega of japan hates Sonic

@@Tailsfly593 Both Sonic and the Sega Genesis sold better in the west. The Saturn did well in Japan but also had a lot of exclusives that stayed in Japan. Saturn also didn't have Sonic at launch or any mainline Sonic game 3D or otherwise. It had some spin offs and that's it. Any of the ones made in the US were cancelled. When the Dreamcast launched in Japan, once again, Sonic was absent. There were only 4 games and one of them was Godzilla which even got a special VMU for it. A year later the Dreamcast launched in the US with Sonic Adventure and it sold really, really well! I'm just saying since Sonic was made for the west, maybe they should let the west handle Sonic from now on, including mainline games? Heck Sonic Adventure 2 was made in the US!

IDW is canon becuse Sonic mentioned IDW characters in Frontiers

Open World Sonic was not my first choice, but a lot of people wanted it.

@@TheRealMightyEmperor I guess. I haven’t seen that many people want it. If anything, it was Sega’s higher ups that wanted it.

Management was an issue no doubt.

The industry changed to be a lot more cooperate than ever before. loot boxes, micro transactions, battle passes etc.

@@TheRealMightyEmperor damn, so it makes perfect sense for these PS3 Xbox 360 games and others to have the biggest negative reviews but I would like to play these games even if they are bad

Too a fair amount of people it still is.

Because it was. The only reason perception is changing is because the people that grew up with the 2000s games are now old enough to make video essays about Sonic. It's not that the games have gotten any better quality-wise-Sonic 06 will always remain a disastrous failure that is less polished than any of the mainline 2010s games-people are just too easily influenced by nostalgia.

It is a Dark Age even if it started in the mid of the 00s. I recall that we got the two Adventures, the Advance trilogy, Heroes and Sonic Rush. They had flaws, but those were good games and proved that Sonic Team knew what they wanted to do. Then they started to shit themselves with 06, then the Storybooks with their crappy controls (story and memes be damned) and other lame titles that only stightly fixed the tenue, but the damage was done such as Sonic 4, Unleashed and Colors (even if it was the light at the end of the tunnel). The last game I played before dropping Sonic was Secret Rings and those shitty controls, with a story I could not care less (unless for the memes) and a waste of good music and scenery (I like stories based on 1001 Nights and arabian folklore). Honestly, if it wasn't for Mania and the good quality fan games, I would've stopped to bother with the franchise altogether.

It is funny that at least one member of the movie team worked on the CGI cutscenes of Shadow the Hedgehog.

​@@TheRealMightyEmperor Yeah that is funny, and I know that you're talking about the director, (Jeff Fowler,) because I've heard that he's the person who made the opening CG cutscene of the 2005 Shadow the Hedgehog spin-off game. I've also heard that Jeff Fowler is a major fan of Shadow, so that makes me think that he could hopefully be wanting to do what lots of old fans want to see be done in Sonic 3, which is having Shadow be shown like he was in Sonic Adventure 2 as a character who was doing revenge stuff because he'd been memory swapped into thinking that that's what he was supposed to be doing, then later remembers that he was truly supposed to be doing the opposite of that and joins Sonic to help cause a heroic attempt to save the world. Instead of having him be a messed up edgeloard character who only cares about himself through the whole movie.

@@joeboosta6309 I hope they respect the character thanks to that history

​​​​@@TheRealMightyEmperor Me too. That studio didn't write Knuckles and Tails wrongly in the second movie so that also gives me some faith that Shadow will possibly get written correctly in the third movie.

Did Mario ever even start to decline? He has been very consistent.

@@TheRealMightyEmperor Personally, from NSMBU up until we got hit with Odyssey, I think there was definitely a dip in quality when it came to the mainline Mario titles. It wasn't *that* bad, though--the games felt a lot less inspired than what came before, but were still perfectly serviceable platformers if you ignored that. Basically, Mario had a "mid" phase.

@@astracrits4633 exactly

We did get 3D World which was good.

Most likely.

Now he is in jail. When I say SEGA, I really mean any leadership involved. Most people probably mean the same too even if they never heard of SAMMY. The point is the people in control were bad. But yes what you say of SAMMY is true.

Yuji naka got fires becauae he revealed hia salary to hia workers which sega didn't liked that he did it so they fired him

Wow. You hate to see it...

Thankfully we get golden works from the fans fairly regularly

I feel like right now sonic is doing better than the 2010's but not doing better than the golden years aka the 1990's.

@vicctretamaj7289 completely fair, it still has a ways to go.

Much appreciated, I try my best.

Rest in piece Dreamcast.

Except what is to say those will be treated any better than Sonic?

Considering Spyro has only gotten remakes he still isn't doing great

A LOT more work indeed.

@@NoCash19 Nintendo's games appeal to their audience, so long as that remains the case their consistency is a virtue. Sometimes like with Zelda they will evolve their formula.

@@TheRealMightyEmperor Are you even paying to what you're saying? NINTENDO loving their FANS!?

@@nitronstreetrider1192 I did not say Nintendo loves their fans, just that they give them what they want.

Frozen Factory on the 3ds I cannot defend. 30-ish minute of a ball puzzle basically. Al lot of the 3ds levels go on for too long and rely on slow simple puzzles. The special stages were awful as well. Of course, that doesn't mean no one can enjoy it, but the 3DS version especially struggles to be considered good by most.

At the end of the day, criticism remains the same. Whether they were a SEGA badge or a SAMMY badge, the decisions made have been poor.

They screwed big red button as well. But I never heard of SEGA making those 2 have to use wiki only. Who told you this?

@@TheRealMightyEmperor my bad, no, Sega's refusal made the pair have to rely on the Wiki.

@@ataladin87 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5_AMVOuS4d8.html

Since colours the western games had new writers that knew next to nothing about the franchise. I am familiar with this situation, part of what made the 2020's suck.

@@TheRealMightyEmperor i know where are you getting at, i'am just asking you to watch the video from youtube "The Story of Sonic Colors" specifically from 26:47 to 35:47 of it , as there quiet an interesting explanation that deserve to be heard when it comes to the 2010s direction of sonic , and how it could relate to a certain old 90s sonic cartoon ,

And yet I got more enjoyment from Sonic R than Forces (I have a video on that actually!)

90's and 2000's had their bright spots. 2010's were the bad times. So hopefully Sonic keeps up the momentum

Or could he?

Yes

Silver and Blaze in Sonic X is all fan work. The series ended with it's third season.

Very interesting perspective to hear about! I assumed most newer fans wouldn't have been interested in looking at older games if they only new about the modern stuff.

Aww yeah :)

With a series as old as Sonic, there is always going to be content if you are new. That can't really count as a point in their favour otherwise most game franchises could claim the same thing.

Never forget the late '10s drought @@TheRealMightyEmperor

Yes I also hope the momentum for better Sonic continues. On Sonic Forces though, I do not think that was them thinking enough was enough because of how cheap that game was. Sadly it seems more like they saw it as an easy way to milk the fans without trying hard.

Frontiers lacks even something as basic as proper momentum, has tedious and dull combat with some of the ugliest visuals in a Sonic game. It's far from the right direction.

@@TheRealMightyEmperor The real issue was the fact that Sega quit the console market (mostly because of the Sega Saturn which the negative stigma bleed into the Dreamcast) and made mediocre titles to bad titles in the 2000s (with the Sonic Advance Trilogy, the Sonic Rush series and Sonic Unleashed, Sonic Colors and Sonic Generations being the only shining hope.) That and how the Fanbase acted at that time with voice actors, character design, recolors and rule 34 and how they where being compared to Chris-Chan (which from what I heard, the Sonichu comics brows more from Pokémon than Sonic,) Forces was that wake up call becuase Sega kept rushing games like Sonic 06 and Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric and that Sonic Forces was rushed due to how bad Rise of Lyric was and that with the Sonic Boom sub series, Sega went all in and got the joker card, and I think Sonic Forces ended up being lackluster because of how awful Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric was and that game was a wake up call for them to stop rushing games and Sonic Movie 1 was the coffee brewing (after the Ugly Sonic backlash) that Sonic is just as Iconic as Mario. I hope when the next Nintendo's Next Console, PlayStation 6, New Xbox that We get Sonic Frontiers 2 and that Sega-Atlus keeps the Open Zone formula and sticks with it and that We won't have another Sonic Heroes and Sonic Lost World situation

@@1upGaming1up I am not sure open zone has a good future. Sonic works best with well designed missions and challenges. Cyberspace needed a better budget, those traditional levels felt tacked on.

@@1upGaming1up But then we'll have another Sonic frontiers situation instead. Honestly, if there is one game that which direction should be taken it is Sonic Dream Team, a 3d Sonic game done mostly right, with potential for improvement.

Very tired of 2.5D in 3D Sonic games.

Well, there wouldn't have been anything new for Sonic. So Forces wouldn't have been made.

​@@TheRealMightyEmperor Sonic Mania wouldn't have been made, either.

Yeah

Yeah, without them Sonic would be in a dark place

Thank you! I am glad you agree!

Heroes may have been received less positively by hardcore fans and critics, but it was the first multiplatform Sonic released and was played by a huge new generation.

@@TheRealMightyEmperor very true, heroes definitely introduced a lot of people to the series, I do quite enjoy the game, but it was definitely the start of a rockier road

Thing is, a lot of those 2000's games were received well by kids of the era, which is why these days they now have a boost of support from the kids who now grew old enough to voice their opinions on them. In the same light, Sonic X was very successful for the Sonic brand even in dub. Lumping games like heroes and Sonic Riders 1 into the bad category I think is also wrong. Having on through them, 2010's Sonic felt like the darkest and least hopeful of them all by a long shot. I don't think it is mere coincidence the franchise is becoming more like the 2000's again right as things have begun to look up.

@@TheRealMightyEmperor I can at least appreciated they were please more younger audience or kids of knowing the franchise. But unfortunately IMO, this is not how they should've done it. Kids deserves better than that. Like how is an game like Shadow the Hedgehog considered to be good when it has horrible gameplay style, structure and so many cutscenes with many curse words that felt force? Or Sonic 06 that's the most buggy, glitchy & obnoxious game and how they that teaches alot of bad message & was so braindeaded in the story? Or something like Secret Rings where it controls horribly and the way is structure that it's so boring to do. Or something like Chronicles where it's the blue blur first ever RPG game that wanted to get kids into RPG and the way it's played and the story was told was all garbage. All those games in the 2000's were very forced and not all out smart that kids deserves better treatment than what they got.

Sadly I disagree. Might make a video about it

@@TheRealMightyEmperor tripping bruh

Difference is Sonic is their mascot and most well known IP

@@TheRealMightyEmperor Oh. You’re right. But my point still stands!

I also don't see the 2000's as a dark age now that the 2010's exist, but people even who watched this video still believe that.

@@TheRealMightyEmperor it's probably the Adventure 2 (overrated game) nostalgia blinding them combined with the fact many of them might have grown in the 90s, so they'd have the "it was better in the old days" kind of mindset

@EnclaveEmily Based on what they have said its more that the 2010 games a fire and all 2000's was rushed trash

Good to see you again! The movies hopefully will override Sega's attitude towards Sonic.

@@TheRealMightyEmperor They must! Otherwise we will have mediocre stuff

@@skeetermagee2487 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5_AMVOuS4d8.html

Nice

Less production = Sonic Boom. Difference is in the 2000's there was plenty more going on besides 06 even in that year alone.

@@TheRealMightyEmperor don't worry sonic boom will never return

Only with Frontiers were SEGA ok with adding back multiple characters, so anything more is uncertain.

I wouldn't call it good that is for sure.

the meta era had it's rises and downfalls but wasn't a perfect era for sonic bad thing in meta era: sonic forces,sonic boom games including rise of lyiric, sonic the hedgehog 4 ep1,2,sonic free riders,sonic lost world that's the bad side about this game but that doesn't mean we didn't had good things from this era either: good things in meta era: sonic colors,sonic generation,sonic all stars racing,sonic & sega all stars racing,sonic mania,sonic mania plus,team sonic racing,sonic dash,SEGA AGES Sonic The Hedgehog Arcade game,sonic jump fever etc.. so the meta era wasn't too bad but wasn't great either.

Part of all those crossovers but yes lots of Lego

@@TheRealMightyEmperor Yessir!

Yeah

All droughts suck.

In terms of the outcome it is "better", morally it is bad. But Sega is so poorly managed that the bad practise tends to yield better results

If you think anyone was praising Sonic 06 in the 2000's you can't have been there.

@@TheRealMightyEmperor Sonic fans on twitter praised sonic 06 in the 2010's

No. Like I say in the video, Sonic is now in a good place. But he wasn't before the movies and I want to highlight why. Before the days of Frontiers, people defended 2010 SEGA's handling of Sonic. My hope is if people understand how it was not good, they will not let it happen in the future.

@@TheRealMightyEmperor ohh ok

SEGA as a whole, the divisions do matter. The people at the top do.

@@TheRealMightyEmperor i think sega of japan mostly hate sonic atleast sega of america give a damn about this franchise..if they were careless about this franchise they wouldn't made a contract with paramount to create sonic's cinematic side of the franchise or made a deal with IDW to create IDW sonic comics you should atleast give them some credit for that..sega of japan mostly don't give a shit about sonic they are mostly focused on yakuza and sega of europe...well...idk about them but my point is sonic is better off with the sega of japan and sega of americal should handle the franchise not japan

Sega Europe has no saying on what America and Japan does, it just translate and distribute the games, with some european studios for other franchises like Total War and Football Manager. I heard they want to reinforce the european division in the latest business report, so they could have more saying and people working for Like a Dragon, Persona and Sonic in the future.

@@user-vt6dd4kz5t Westerners like Sonic, while japanese people not so much other than nostalgia factor and cuteness. Koreans like Sonic as much as the west, with the bonus factor of having the same sensibilities of the japanese. Too bad that Sega of Korea only bothers with translation and distribution, or else they'd be great contributors to Sonic.

True

True. Sonic fans being allowed to do what they want is great and part of what keeps Sonic alive.

Yeah I hear people say that the future will be bright or that sonic should do better so it is subjective.

I don't actually disagree that new games still have problems, but they are a step up from what we got before. So hopefully they will improve.

1 fans loved frontiers 2 what do you mean IDW is nothing ?

again it's your opinion not ours we love frontiers and the IDW

No faith in his future?

@@TheRealMightyEmperorIn terms of games absolutely.

no there's still hope you may lost your hope long time ago but i still have some faith to sonic team

Damn. Chasing the open world trend was not what Sonic needed, but I think I still enjoyed it more than forces (At least for the first 2 islands anyway). However, Sonic Forces is a shorter game so it is easier to play (Ironically, it being so short is still bad though)

Damn

Or its just the "The Sonic Cycle". @@TheRealMightyEmperor

Unfortunately that can not be assumed. There is nothing stopping Sega putting that money into Sakura Wars, gambling or a holiday fund. Xbox owning Bethesda didn't seem to make Starfield any better.

@@TheRealMightyEmperor it will for Activision/Blizzard tho I'm sure Bethesda has there own pride of handling themselves but if it wasn't for Xbox we would of gotten Hi-Fi Rush which is a way better game than Forspoken like if there polar opposites of the same coin to a game but Phill Spencer himself is a gamer so I'm sure he be willing to help Sega since in term finances Xbox is way better than PlayStation

Redfall and Starfield just shows Bethesda still sucks under Micro$oft's ownership (and the same will be for Activision-Blizzard and maybe Ubisoft if Micro$oft buys them, better them than Sega, Halo + Rabbids will be better LOL) if Microsoft buys Sega then we'll get a game worse than Sonic 06 or Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric, Micro$oft never cared about gaming and Xbox is pretty much dying thanks to games like Halo Infinite, Redfall and Starfield and they won't save Overwatch "2," Banjo-Kazooie, Conker, Crash and Spyro and in purgatory. Sega is doing better right now more so than the 2000s and 2010s with Sonic Frontiers being a step in the right direction (Not a perfect game,) bringing back classic IPs like Jetset Radio, Crazy Taxi, Golden Axe, Shinobi and Streets of Rage and rumors of NiGHTS returning, instead of relying on Yakuza, Sonic and Persona. This is all because of how successful Sonic Movie 1 and 2 where why Sega is back to where they where during the Sega Genesis/Sega Mega Drive era, Xbox might end up as the next Sega if they make mediocre to bad games like Redfall or Starfield, putting out new controllers and buying studios like Disney.

@@1upGaming1up what about the case of PlayStation there is hot lava mainly for not having many new games but rather resell the same game that there fanboys keep buying with a new thing slap on to it when it it could of been dlc or a patch update I'm still waiting for Naughty Dog to get there heads out of there assess to make a new Jak and Daxter not to mention Sucker Punch with Sly Cooper but unfortunately this PlayStation is more making games that feel like movies and shows rather than games themselves

@@joelbarraclough6689 Yeah, PlayStation is lacking games, no new Jak and Daxter and Sly Cooper and that they're milking Ratchet and Clank, Uncharted and The Last of Us and Spider-Man 2 is lackluster, Sony isn't doing too well right now I can get that. Xbox is far worse right now, because of how Halo Infinite, Redfall and Starfield are mediocre to horrible, just recently they laid off employees at Activision-Blizzard so fans of Crash Bandiccot and Spyro the Dragon will be left with nothing for 5 to 10 years again (look at Banjo-Kazooie and Conker and how they announced Perfect Dark and no news on the game and how angry fans are of those series are) Overwatch "2" will still be sh*t and Xbox will just put out new controllers, Micro$oft has been putting their games on PC and Nintendo because they know they're not going to last much longer. Nintendo is doing better than Xbox and PlayStation, Games like Super Mario Bros. Wonder and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom just shows that, yes Nintendo isn't perfect (no one is) but the writing is on the wall, Xbox is dying and they care about is Buying Studios and putting out new Controllers instead of making Good games like in the Xbox 360 era (after Halo Reach they started to suck,) I'm glad I gave up on PlayStation and Xbox and switched to PC and stuck with Nintendo for consoles.

Sorry I and a lot of others would disagree. Mania as I say in the video was good but also was clearly good because of the fan developers behind it, not because of Sega's approach to Sonic. Colours I heavily dislike and it is a stretch to call it a 3d game. Generations is alright but it doesn't top adventure for me. Sonic 4 both parts were 2010's and they were not impressive. 2000's had All stars tennis, racing, Riders 1 & 2, advance trilogy and more. It had the best Olympic games, it had Sonic X blah blah blah. 2010's had generations, mania and the movies. That's about it. Unless you loved the boom 3ds games which I would imagine you do not.

@@TheRealMightyEmperor Sega still decided to officially support the Mania project, even if the development was by fans. Also, both All Stars racing games are from the 2010's. So the 2010's had Mania, Generations, Colours, All Stars racing, Racing transformed, Colours Ds. As far as console games go, that is already way better than anything in the 2000's.
