SEGA recreates old-school commercial trailer for Sonic Mania Plus



Back in the 1990s, SEGA had a mock-infomercial comparing the newly released Sonic 1 to Super Mario World. Now, more than 20 years later, they've gone and re-created the same idea for the upcoming Sonic Mania Plus. This time, the video jokingly compares Sonic Mania against a generic shooter game, instead of a Nintendo product, but it still shows the customer being enamored with a Sonic game. When Mania initially launched, another joke infomercial was done by SEGA, as they spoofed their classic Sonic 2 commercial to announce the limited edition of Mania.

The title should re ads, Sega Hires Nathan Barnatt to do a commercial for them.
Been following him for years, good to see he is getting paid for it! :)
I was going to ask if that was Skittles man hahaha
Side note, have you seen him in Robin Schultz's Sugar Music video? Its fantastic.

I ordered this on Amazon, I am still waiting to see a shipping email.
