Why don't the Japanese like Sonic?
>why does the tendie cult island where 90% of population whales in gacha games hate good vidyaGee I don't know
sonic got a lot of media outside of japan from shows, comics, movies, etc. the last sonic media in japan was probably sonic x.
>>729869239It really is strange>Sonic was pretty much designed to be an autist magnet>A nation of autists doesn't care for it
Mega Drive sold poorlySaturn didn't have a mainline gameDreamcast was DOAMostly mediocre games onwardAmericans took over the IP
>>729869489Sonic has too much Radical 90 energy.Japs hate that shit.
it was designed for americans in mind, not nips
the 100 japs that love sanic
>>729869239Sonic sucks
sonic is too cool for modern japsThey prefer their stale kawaii shit
Sonic's design is explicitly based on 1920s-30s rubber hose characters like Felix the Cat and Mickey Mouse, hence the big white gloves and big shoes, the big head with round body and noodle limbs, and the weird mono-eyeball thingHe was designed from the getgo to appeal to the West
>>729869298>why does the tendie cult island where 90% of population whales in gacha games hate good vidyaAmerica's not an island.
Japan really hates Yuji Naka and Sonic is always associated with him even long after he left Sega.
>>729869298>good vidyaBut we're talking about Sonic.
>>729869740>Water all around itUuuh
>>729869684they hate anything that isn't just ambiguous CP that doesn't quite cross the line
too foreign.
>>729869239They knew Sega only by their arcade games. The PC Engine had already taken up the "16-bit console by developers you already like" slot, so anything Mega Drive specific was niche.
>>729869239What's there to like? Mediocre games?
>>729870039Can't handle the banter
>>729870039All characteristics from Sonictwt, curious
Sega literally killed Phantasy Star so they can make Sonic Team produce kusoge like 06 & Universe.
>>729869609But Shadow is full 2000s edge emo shit, and this is the default cool that the japanese been fostering since forever now
>>729870039>Japs liked Crash more than SonicBased japs knowing that Crash was Sonic done right all along. When talking about "american cartoon inspired" people want Looney Tunes comedy, not "tryhard mickey mouse"
>>729869298>Sonic>Good vidyaThere hasn't been a good Sonic game since Sonic Adventures and even that one is extremely debatable
>>729870984Sonic Adventure is the greatest game of all time actually.
>>729869239Sonic was made to appeal to the USIt workedThat's it
>>729869239Japs prefer moe schoolgirls.
>>729869239A better question is: Why did they Bulldoze away the successful Sega America Sonic lore (Mobius/Robotnik) that had proven excessively popular among the international fanbase for an entire generation to replace it with the Sega Japan lore (Sonic's World/Eggman) which had never even wowed the Japanese audience?
>>72987064000s and 90s are different feels
>>729871067>Sonic Adventure is the greatest game of all time ACK-
He was meant to be a cool 90's dude with the attitude of michael jackson and... bill clinton and... santa....look I don't get it either but point is he was designed with the west in mind first and foremost so when you combine that with the fact that nobody in japan really gave a shit about the mega drive and sega's dominance in japan was built way more on things like virtua fighter, it was kinda inevitable that he was treated more like a mickey mouse mascot than an actual icon over there. the extremely fluctuating quality of his titles over the years certainly hasn't helped.
>>729870984Mania was good.
>>729869239Why do you like Sonic?
>>729870807Japanese Crash is a different character
>>729872698he has a good jump height
>>729870984Mothafuckas unironically posts shit like this while Sonic has been in a Renaissance since Frontiers released.
>>729870984I'm too young to have been around for the great console wars of the early 90s and from a naive standpoint playing emulated games in my early teens I just couldn't see how Sonic vs. Mario is even a debate. Classic Sonic games were cool I guess but a large bulk of Sonic's life has been about desperately referencing and trying to recreate that golden era after the backlash from clunky 00s 3D games with too many friends, while even the most contentious Mario games were never considered to be outright godawful.
>>729869239Because Sonic turns adults into literal retarded pedophile manchildren, just like Nintendo does, but more dangerous because they develop paraphilias such as ABDL, Toddlercon, Transvestism, Gerontophilia, Scat, Vore, Anal vore, Anal futanari gigantism vore, cannibalism, and many other psychosexual deviations worthy of psychiatric patients.>>729869298what you say, Christine W.C.
>>729872976Frontiers is a literal throwaway game riddled with bugs, made of Unreal default store assets and an empty open world with puzzles just floating in the air for no fucking reason
>>729872976>while Sonic has been in a Renaissance since Frontiers released.Anon, all we've had gamewise post Frontiers is Dream Team (which is STILL locked to Apple Arcade) and Sonic Rumble (a Fall Guys clone with gatcha elements). It's honestly too early to tell. Merch is still selling and the movies are doing fine, but IDW seems to be lacking narratively (with writers seemingly trying to go for an episodic format since Sega won't let them push stuff forward).
>>729869795Exactly.
>>729870984No, it isn't debatable at all.
>>729873512Your shitty godless country does the same thing, yet we allow you shitstained turdworlders to live.
>>729872976>Renaissance>Sonic Mania at home >Gens DLC>half decent platformer locked in Apple Arcade hell>Fall Guys clone>fucking Roblox>a decent racerI understand the bar for quality is in hell but come on now
>>729874241almost forgot>a meme vn
>>729874241Idk anon, seems like a you thing
>>729873876Superstars? Shadow Generations? Racing Crossworlds? You missed three games that are way more noteworthy than whatever the fuck you listed in your post. What the fuck is wrong with you?
>>729869239rare case of nipponese having good taste
>>729870984Classicucks and Adventurefags like you need to jump off a bridge!
>>729875606Superstars I honest forgot that came after Frontiers, Shadow Generation is Generations with a new campaign (which is good mind you), but you got me on Crossworlds, since I did include Rumble. Still, I wanna see what Sega has as the next step from Frontiers.
>>729869461am i crazy, isn't Blade of Courage ongoing right now
>>729872976>Sonic has been in a Renaissance since Frontiers released.Very funny
>>729869698i love oswald the lucky faggot
>>729878213>best critically acclaimed games in the franchise>MUHDIOCRITYseethe
>>729878681>best critically acclaimed games in the franchiseAnon, the least critically acclaimed Rayman games are head and shoulders above the "best critically acclaimed" Sonic games. If you setup a McDonalds in ethiopia, they'll have the "best critically acclaimed" burgers.
>>729878681>Sonic Frontiers and Superstars got 7/10 instead of 4/10 or 5/10 Oh wow! What a miraculous turnaround!
>>729878681>>best critically acclaimed games in the franchiseFactually wrong tho?
>>729878681
>>729869698And yet despite all that they only really want appeal on the homefront because of japanese cultural expectations.
>>729870039>releasing Sonic Superstars anywhere close to Mario WonderWho in thier right mind thought that was a good idea? Are they really that retarded?
>>729881364I mean have you seen Wonder? Wouldn’t blame them thinking it wasn’t a threat
