Sonic the Hedgehog Community |OT| There’s no end to this franchise!
- Thread starter Professor Beef
- Start date
If any sequel ends up having as surprisingly good a story as sonic battle I'm all for it. (Also hello I haven't posted in a Sonic community thread for like several years, not since the old place)

So he's just....doing crimes now
You know goddamn well I have been on that bandwagon the while time
I'm surprised they're still supporting this game, but hey if people like it.
also some sorta robot and bunny, but who cares when the GOAT is back
Sonic shitposting is essentially its own breed of memes.
I would base this on whether or not the Switch version has a somewhat alive online.
I have no interest whatsoever on online play, didnt play Transformed online either, it was a single player game to me.
Then it's a matter of 60 fps on PC versus the portability on Switch.
Sonic is dying constantly all the time, don't you know?
To be fair, it's true that Sonic sales have significantly declined since Transformed but yeah he ain't dead yet.
Finally playing Sonic Mania.
I want to be pissed at them for using old levels we've played a thousand times before, especially since the new stages are so good but its hard to get mad at Classic Sonic. Hopefully a sequel would be all original content.
Press Garden Zone music is soooo good.

Yup, I wrote a blog about it!
I forgot to bring it up in the blog but this is actually what made me start taking video editing a little more seriously. Like I had taken it seriously before, but doing a test clip for DYKG made me realize I could push things even further. Makes me feel good because people have commented me on how good my editing is gotten recently in my video reviews

Tyson needs to follow this up with art of Eggman and Sonic playing a birthday jam for Moto.
EDIT: Never mind, saw some of the comments and artwork and realized moto is loved
Wait, I'm listening to my weekly recommended playlist on Spotify, and a song called Hard Times by The Jetzons was on there. It got to the chorus, and I was like I'm sure I know this, but I don't recognise the song.
It's literally just Ice Cap Zone. Is this part of the reason why Sonic 3 never gets rereleased nowadays?

Yep. The theory is that the Michael Jackson Estate has the rights of the other problematic songs even if the man himself never made any of them.
My personal theory is that the estate wants things in return that SEGA cannot offer, like partial rights to the Sonic franchise.
Thankfully, Ice Cap might be the safe one, since I don't think it's directly tied to Jackson the same way some others are; it's Brad Buxer reusing old, unreleased content he made in the first place. At the worst, it's The Jetzons they should have to contend with, not MJ or Dreams Come True.
I think if they can get Ice Cap locked down, they're probably ok to dump the MJ songs from there. I'm sure some people will miss Carnival Night, but I think for it being a weird song, and a decent replacement tune will keep people from getting too grumpy.
Sonic 3 & Knuckles already replaced 3 of the problem tracks, though, being the Knuckles theme, the Mini-Boss theme, and the Staff Roll, in addition to a few other tracks and jingles, like the Invincibility theme and title screen. To my knowledge, none of the the Sonic & Knuckles tracks are problematic, and they wouldn't have to replace all the tracks, as several are clearly ok. (Angel Island, Hydrocity, Boss, Big Arms, etc.)
I mean it's that, or apparently not have the game rereleased. Even if they got the rights to the tracks, like the famous Simpsons episode referenced above that is now pulled from distribution, they may not want to be associated with him anymore.
I mean, to make money? I guess, I mean the mj song checks might be a bit smaller these days
These days SEGA seems to not even want to release a simple ROM of the game, which they did before. I think it's something absurd like rights to the franchise too.
I wouldn't doubt that as a possibility, MJ's image taking a hit as of late doesn't help things. Partial rights seems too greedy, especially with all the money the estate continues to make despite recent events.
Yeah, this is where I'm at. Release it fully intact with the original soundtrack. Just do it and get it over with. I just want an official definitive S3&K so we don't need to keep begging for one for eternity. It would be especially glorious on Switch like Mania was.
If MJ was still alive I'd like to think this rerelease problem would be resolved by now, but what do I know. :/
Nintendo would need to allocate a team for Sonic. Do they think they'd put the Mario team on it ? Nah lol. Mario games make way more money.
Tfw the only thing Hirokazu Yasuhara designed while he was at Nintendo was a Mario vs DK Lemmings game
You'd also probably never get another Mania situation or find people like Whitehead and Stealth, thanks to Nintendo being more strict with their IPs.
I thought the Mario mini games (there was two of them, right?) were well-received.
you said this right after Cadence of Hyrule came out
There's like five or six of the Minis games, and Yasuhara worked on one of them. I think they're meant to be fine. I played the DSiware one and I don't remember a lot of it, but it was like... okay. In terms of those games it's just that after DK '94 and the first Mario vs Donkey Kong which was more of that great puzzle platforming formula to go to fine Lemmings clones is kinda disappointing. And when you read that someone of Yasuhara's pedigree is going to Nintendo you maybe hope for a little more than that.
