I have a recurring nightmare where it’s Christmas 1996 and instead of an N64 or PlayStation I unwrap my presents to find a Sega Saturn with copies of Nights and Mr. Bones.

>>11415376Why doesn’t Sonic let him in out of the cold?
>>11415410It's sonics wine time
>>11415376Bwaha nigger the only reason my parents got me a 64 over saturn was because it was still cheaper. Sega is retarded
>>11415590Imagine a superior counsel being cheaper than a 2 year old one
>>11415596>me looking at Cream
>>11415376That was my 1996 christmas, only no Mr.Bones. Instead, Virtua Fighter 2 and Virtua Cop.Very few regrets.
>>11415376is it canon that Sonic is culturally xtian and also literate?
>>11415692Sonic is literally shounen Jesus in SA2. Firstly, Shadow is basically this anti-Christ figure. Secondly, Genesis 9 tells the story of the Great Flood's aftermath, where God makes a pact with humanity and signifies rainbows as a sign of this covenant. This ties into the lyrics of City Escape, since where we left off in Sonic Adventure 1, an enraged deity flooded the world as revenge for a corrupt world filled with greed and genocide (said deity was however defeated). The City Escape lyrics describe Sonic promising to free the audience from fraught and uncertain times, provided that you "trust in what you can't see" and follow Sonic's rainbow. The exact lyric "Follow me" is uttered several times and is a very didactic command.
>>11415692>>11415701Plus, Sonic is the messiah as seen in the Echidna tribe's murals in Sonic & Knuckles
>>11415634Cream the bunny? Don't mind if I do!
>>11415376who fucking cares>>11415590that's funny as fuck
>>11415701Shadow himself is given more Jesus allegories as the series goes on though, he even got crucified for humanity's sins in 06
I was a 'kiddie game' type player (still am) and even though I loved my PS1 to death I wanted N64 and the Dreamcast really bad during the late 90s/early 2000s
>>11416270Shadow becomes a coredeemer after conceding in SA2's end that Sonic is the ultimate lifeform
>>11415701meds now
>>11415701Can you explain why the ultimate lifeform prototype was a lizard and then became a hedgehog?
>>11416285>after conceding in SA2's end that Sonic is the ultimate lifeformI don't remember him saying or doing that
>>11419345Gerald was obsessed with the Echidna tribe, thinking their insights could help build the ultimate lifeform and thus a cure for his granddaughter's AIDS. The Biolizard was based on the Perfect Chaos mural while Shadow was based on the Super Sonic mural>>11419353During the final boss Shadow will say this after a while
>>11415590Like shit was still 100 bucks more than 64 when it came out
>>11419559Got a screenshot or a video?
>>11415410He found out why Tails likes going to the park by himself.

>>11415376>>11419916Why is there so much Xmas media in a country that is overwhelming not Christian
>>11419994> what is the reasonAside from nips being huge westaboos?It's a cool foreign celebration and also a huge income for merchandise manufacturers, so of course they'll celebrate it, as well as Halloween and St. ValentineIt's not exclusively Japanese thing, although I believe they don't have their own version of magical winter man that breaks down into people's houses, like other countries do (Yuki-onna is more like evil character). So they borrow one from the West.
>>11415409For me, it's puffy
>>11419994Japan is a US controlled satellite state.
>>11419994Sonic's character is partially based on Santa in the way he's meant to spread joy. Plus, the boot colors, obviously. I think the only piece of Sonic media to actively explore that idea was the Adventures cartoon and I am 100% sure the creators didn't actually know that fact about Sonic and it was just a coincedence.
>>11419916>There. Problem solved.
>>11421065Drop the red pills on the matter please
>>11415376>orI also had a nightmare that I was born after 2001 and was a faggot
>>11415376Mr. Bones was my favorite kusoge on the sadturd
>>11415376There's so much to unpack on this image.Sonic being at home (while canonically he doesn't have a home), drinking alcohol and reading a book (which is judging by its size, should be a Mega Drive game manual or something). All that while ignoring Tails outside in winter, maybe Sonic just gtfoed him outside and took his home over
>>11415701You realize that even the first Sonic games were inspired by DBZ, right?
>>11419916Did he look tales in the eyes as he shut the curtains? Canon answers only.
>>11424496I'd like to think they're just remote-controlled, he pressed a single button without even looking away from the book and proceeded to be jolly on that warm, cozy Christmas night
>>11422990Sonic isn't shounen Jesus in the first two games
>>11415376That's crazy because I'm enjoying N64, psx and Saturn this holiday season. Sucks to be a console warrior
>>11415376>I have a recurring nightmare where it’s Christmas 1996 and instead of an N64 or PlayStation I unwrap my presents to find a Sega SaturnI mean, that's not too bad...>with copies of Nights and Mr. Bones....oh, I see. That's fair.
>>11424882Super Sonic was introduced in Sonic 2.
>>11415376at least you didn't get this POS
>>11419994Christmas is pretty much a universal non-secular holiday now and can be celebrated both religiously and non-religiously. Generally it's just a time for family and friends to come together.
Imagine being the poor bastard who got Panzer Dragoon Saga instead of a PS with FF7. Couldn't be me.
>>11425018>>11425001
>>11422990And Star WarsThey just shoved in whatever pop culture thing they thought was cool
