That's cool. I've always been a Sonic fan. I don't know how many times I've bought Sonic game collections over the years but I'll probably still get the new one coming out lol.

The Sonic games are good but never been a big fan. Probably because Sonic replaced Altered Beast as the pack-in Genesis game. lol.

If Sonic keeps Sega around another 30 years that is okay with me.

Sega was doing people a favor, Altered Beast is a terrible game. :P

Sonic 1 and 2 and genuinely great games. I haven't enjoyed one since.

Keep 'em 2D and don't clutter up the levels. Ease off on the "auto hands off sections" too - they get old really quick. Big open levels with alternate paths is when Sonic was best.

And drop that bloody supporting cast.

And drop the voice talent too. Cringeworthy.
