The most Sonic-looking Sonic show to ever Sonic, at least so far.
Sonic The Hedgehog
- Thread starter Paladin
- Start date
Isn't that kind of an oxymoron? In order to be a train wreck, surely it has to be a lot worse than just mediocre.
Okay, thought we had a Genesis Mini 2 thread or something here, but I'm not seeing it, so...
Never have been, fam.
Considering the "Team Dark doesn't actually exist" statement, Team Dark still gets mentioned in various things. Picked up one of the 4 inch action figures today and it outright states Rogue is the leader of Team Dark. Granted, since Rogue, Shadow, and Omega were in Sonic Forces, restrictions on Team Dark might just be a comic thing. Possibly some lingering scorched earth over Ken Penders and Archie.
Sonic Heroes still exists and they can never take it away from us.
Sonic Frontiers
An experience like never before, accelerate to new heights and experience the thrill of high velocity open-zone freedom.

I used to want a pair.
Sonic Frontiers soundtrack releasing in December. Likely coming out after the game to limit spoilers. Japan is getting a physical CD while it will be on streaming services for the rest of the world.
Free Monster Hunter DLC coming to Sonic Frontiers.
Okay, if they drop an entire mode that knocks of monster hunter, that might be enough to get me to buy sonic frontiers.
Replying to this here instead of in the Mario movie thread. Disappointing but mildly unsurprising. Sonic is less popular in Japan than America but the more fascinating thing is the mirror of what we discussed previously. While our release got breathing room against heavy competition, in Japan it was up against summer blockbusters and some of the other family movies. What I'm curious about is why they chose to delay it.
I wonder if there's also a difference between what audiences in the two countries want out of a Sonic movie, or a movie in general. How well did the first movie do? I could absolutely see Japanese audiences not being receptive to the generic "live-action/CG revival of a famous cartoon" formula the way Americans are, even in cases like this where it's done decently.
Sonic X was their idea.
While Japan did (and Sonic Team themselves had major input), Sonic X was still animated. Japan has a higher appreciation for animation than USA so it's fully possible they simply weren't interested in the format while casual fans here would prefer something more "realistic".
And the date is still worth noting. By the time the movie had released in Japan, it had already had released on both streaming and physical media here. The bigger Sonic fans might have imported the movie already and/or pirated it.

Story of Sonic's life, really.
And Metroid.
Maybe Mega Man.
It's just kind of a thing.
