Why isn't Sonic popular in Japan?
maybe >>>/v/ would know
>>285499193Because despite being created by 3 Japanese dudes, the recent games have American writers in charge, they removed Amy's love for Sonic AND censored Rouge's cleavage despite the fact that her boobs actually bounced in the Dreamcast game, not even Miku can get them to play Sonic, as shit as Mario games can be at least they have a mostly Japanese staff in charge
SEGA? more like SEGAY
Every japanese medium i've seen of him is incredibly pretentious, trying to badly mimic more serious anime but on their ridiculous furry mascot, and begging people to think he's finally kewl. This is especially the case of Sonic XIt's the Eastern equivalent of Loonatics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9nOD1h0m8Q
>>285499225Based, I dropped the franchise the second they censored Rouge, that was my "Welp, time to jump ship!" moment

>>285499225>the recent gamesSonic has been more popular in America since long before the media started being written by Americans.Hell, the last season of Sonic X only exists because of Americans, and the series ultimately had a greater TV/comic presence in English speaking countries for a reason.
>>285499193Who?
>>285499225>recent gamesYou know those Japanese dudes who created Sonic went to America to ask Americans which designs they liked best, right? Sonic was always made with Americans in mind as the primary audience.

>>285499193I'm Japanese, but I love Sonic so much.I used to play Sonic Adventure 2 and watch Sonic X as a kid.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohm5CVdutrw
>>285499293Wonder if they know Takashi Meijin?
Because in Japan, the Mega Drive had a rough start from what it never recovered. I mean, one of the launch games was sn infamous Osomatsu-kun that according to rumors, Akatsuka hated so much he threw an ashtray to some poor schmuck.
>>285499931Meanwhile, thanks to Sega of America tweaking Sonic’s design and a few other details, the Genesis was a huge success. The Japanese branch was pissed, and they’ve resented Sonic’s continued existence and success ever since.
>>285500023Everyone knows Sega of America fucked everything in the end, the docs are proof of that. It was poorly managed from the beginning and had the advantage of the NES being old.
>>285499931It's mostly because the PC Engine was already well established, so Sega had way too much of an uphill battle. The Mega CD was likewise also made because the PC Engine CD was kicking their ass so hard.NEC fucked up hard by delaying the western release so much. They could've been a big player in the west as well instead of an obscure footnote.
