Sonic only exists because Sega wanted to show "we're totally different than company with the plumber mascott", which somewhat worked but not really. Sonic games are still being made, but with varying success. Any other game series like that? That insist on existing despite having no reason to anymore?
>>724247107Probably Pac-Man, even to this day most people only care about the original arcade game and Google Pac-Man
sonic is cool and is a product of it's time period and still brings that energy mario was cooler back then but is a soulless corporate mascot now
>>724247107lol Tails Doll's nose looks like a silly mouth.
>>724248607Both franchises are soulless mascots, Sanic is just propped up entirely by merch sales so they have to keep pumping mainline shovelware out.
Assasin's Creed maybe?
>>724247107Why didn't they never make metal knuckles and tails doll canon?
>>724247107>FangEasily one of the coolest characters, why did they never bring him back into the modern era?
>>724249050Jesus
Bubsy.
anyone remember Medal of Honour?
>>724247107The number one example.
>>724250129I remember when it was good, yes.
>>724250234>even got LEGO game no one wantedgoddamn
>>724247107You are a fucking retarded brain dead nigger that should be banned from being able to speak on the internet and subject others to your retardationSonic is not a forced franchise at all.
>>724247107street fighter I feel fits this criteria
>>724250610couldnt find better example atm
>>724250610Technically he is. Some of his games, even recent, can come off reactionary and derivative at a foundational level.>sonic x shadow generations = super mario 3d world x bowser's fury>frontiers = odyssey>lost world = galaxy>generations itself = new smb gamesThe adventure and boost style games at least came off more original. Then there's shit like CrossWorlds coming out alongside Mario Kart World. None of this is a knock on quality either imo, I'm not op, but even now Sonic rides the coattails of Mario to figure out where to go next sometimes.
>>724250610The mascot himself no, the games however definitely are.
