Sonic 101: A Brief History of Sonic the Hedgehog (YouTube Video)

Spotted this cute ad in my YouTube feed from the official Sonic channel and thought I'd share.



No mention or sight of Sonic Boom, surprisingly. Guess they're ready to leave that whole spin-off in the past.

Oh, convenient. I just started going through Sonic 1 last week to prep for playing the entire series.

Neato. It'd be cool to see this fledged out into a huge docu series.

edit: wow, kids content can't be put into "watch later"? How in the hell can that feature be exploited to endanger kids on the internet? God damn, youtube. That is an awful usability change.

I appreciate whoever scripted this threw in "Freedom Fighting friends", considering they probably couldn't include the actual Freedom Fighters for even a reference. (If not for legal reasons, maybe because Sega HQ expressly forbid it.)

Really weird how long they stuck around Sonic dying and Werehogs, though. Almost like a "Yeah, we know" segment they didn't really have to do.

Yep, it's absolute garbage. And they tried to make it seem like it was the FTC's fault, even though the FTC didn't specify or require many of these changes.

Is that Roger Craig Smith narrating?

That definitely sounds like him.

Neat little video!
