Sonic really is the Star Wars of the gaming world, isn't he? Despite brief flashes of potential, even the most staunch defenders of the faith admit it's time for it to die with what little remains of its dignity. But just when you think the ordeal is finally over, the developers come up with yet another way to tear open the coffin and abuse the corpse.
I thought Star Wars was the Star Wars of the gaming world?
Galactic Dance Off, that's all.
Yeah, just found that on Youtube....I feel violated by that 'Naturally' song under normal circumstances. Now I feel violated on a whole new level...
If they carry on like this they'll have to do a remake of Armageddon, where a big blue spiky ball is heading towards the Earth. The governments of the world put their faith in Sega executives for their expertise in reaching depths beyond rock bottom most. They dig to the core of the asteroid using Knuckles' Shovel Claws and drop a bomb shaped like a TV monitor with Eggman's face on. They make it just in time, but to finally please the fans a fragment of the asteroid breaks through the atmosphere and hits Charmy the Bee right between the eyes in the end credits.
Believe it or not, this is nothing new.
In fact, it's just an old Sonic mobile game brought to iOS.
That old version is closer visually to Sonic Advance, this iOS version is more like Sonic 4.
There have been other Sonic mobile games too, the difference is that now, Mobile games aren't laughed at by everybody because of the growing popularity of iOS and Android.
Check it out, Sonic Golf.

Yeah. This is the one I used to play...
never got the 2nd one tho, probably because of the higher resolution (not supported by my phone at the time).
The sprite work looks pretty nice! I wish I had played that one instead.

Sega seriously need to remember that good things can be done with 2D sprites.
Enough pre-rendered graphics or using 3d models, actually draw some nice environments and character animations!
Nintendo have been guilty of this too, heck so has the film industry, everyone demands to see 3D animated models instead of hand drawn anything and it's heartbreaking.
The exact same thing I was thinking the other day, I think the last animated movie I didnt see (lack of time, but
I should get to it!) was The Illusionist, looks a-m-a-z-i-n-g, and while I dont dislike 3D for films, It just does not feel
traditional ennough. In the same way game polygons dont feel nostalgic ennough.
Things loose their charm when modernized. Maybe this is why I love and support indie games.
Edit:
Regarding Sega, they released a game produced by Arkedo! recently called Hell Yeah! Wrath of the Dead Rabbit.
While its not using sprites, it has beautiful vector art with a retro feel, makes me think Sega hasn't forgotten.
