Get rid of half the fan base? >_> You know that half that keep saying its horrible and that all the characters are ruining the series.
Thats the biggest threat to Sonic, those fans and the nostalgia whores. Its good to be nostalgic to the classics but they had so little story and depth to them they wouldn't last now a days.
Yepppppppppppppppppppppp. I bet.
'Cause Sonic is just fine the way it is, right?
For sonic, nostalgia means: before there were 10,000,000,000 lame ass characters that no one should give a crap about.
It means: before the storyline could have been pulled off of any Sonic fanfic website.
It means: before the voice acting made us want to vomit every time we played a game.
It means: before we had to play through horribad platforming with a glitchy camera.
The biggest threat to Sonic is the developers.
Slash and burn.
Everything after Sonic 3D blast, except maybe Shadow, should be forgotten about and never, ever referenced again.
Get some writers that aren't mentally retarded, and buy talented voice actors, in lieu of the homeless people you probably let in the studio now.
At least with Mega Man, they don't produce utter crap and call it a game.
You may have to wait a while with Capcom, but they don't churn out garbage to meet an industry quota.
It's a perfect way to ruin a series.
I'm sorry you must be talking about Archie, which I don't follow or consider the same continuity as the games.
Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Cream, Vanilla, Eggman, Rouge, Shadow, E-Series, Big, Blaze, Silver, Espio, Vector, Charmy, Mighty, Metal Series robots, Eggman Naga, Shade (from Dark Brotherhood), Bean, Bark, Fang, Emerl.
There are all the Japanese cannon characters. Everyone else is Archie characters minus the characters who show up in X. Now tell me all those characters are ruining the series.
Also your everything after 3D Blast is crap? (Sorry but date wise CD was before Sonic 3) like FiniteZero said, were the SA games crap? Was Colors, the game said to be the best 3d sonic game since SA2, crap? Were the Rush games crap?
Hell the only sonic games I will refuse to play ever are 06, which SEGA reconed in the games own ending, Secret Rings and Dark Knight.
