Sonic the Hedgehog Co-Creator Yuiji Naka Blasts Yu Miyake in Square Enix Shakeup

“I feel like saying “Finally, huh.” This person submitted a memo written with lies (and there is proof [of that]) at the trial, so I wish he’d be gone sooner. The person who became the new president may be a good person, even though I had never met him.”
Naka’s tweet spilled some tea. Seems there’s still bad blood between him and Miyake after their court battles. But hey, on the bright side, he seems cool with the new Square Enix prez, that Kiryu fella.
The Sonic co-creator’s time at Square Enix was, well, let’s just say a ...

Then just use the mouse then!

Same reason.
The feeling of simple control by swiping screen in particulary everywhere even while in the bed or outside is really different.
Console or PC is still moresuited to the not-so-simple ones like Sonic Dream Team.

hope so to, that or I hope I haven't jinxed it.

Of course you won't. You never have a history of jinxing somthing, right? Right?

Not to say Tomb Raider games aren't as bad now, but I think every three games they go through a reboot. Given the Survivor continuity had its three games means Tomb Raider maybe renewed sometime soon.

In the movie departement Lara Croft also has more movies than Sonic and Mario ... for now.

I still think it's kinda egotistical of Shadow, but whatever.

Suit to his image.

Keanu Reeves cast as Shadow the Hedgehog in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 movie

The news was a rumor earlier today, leaked from discussions held at last week’s Cinemacon, and has since been confirmed by Variety. Keanu Reeves was a long hoped for casting decision by fans, and despite rumors of Hayden Christensen getting the role, it has since been clarified that such casting was only considered AFTER a rumor emerged of Hayden landing the role and Paramount considered it once fan sites ran with the rumor. However, Keanu was the top of the list for Paramount and it seems ...

Back then when I make the list, I didn't include music albums unless they had some kind of games or mini games in it so probably I'm already missing much now.

The addition of grind shoes in Sonic Frontiers did at least confirm that Sonic Team is thinking that Dreamcast Sonic is still worthy to be given attention.
I hope they thought some ideas similar to yours.

hope so to, that or I hope I haven't jinxed it.

May be ... then SEGA would reign in the console instead.

Perhaps in a multi-platform sense.

It's a variant version. We don't have to buy both, only pick one of those two.

Ah I see. Seems a bit pointless, it's not Pokémon, but whatever.

I guess most of the ones who voted this grew up in 32-Bit era instead of 8-Bit and 16-Bit.

Perhaps. Not to say Tomb Raider games aren't as bad now, but I think every three games they go through a reboot. Given the Survivor continuity had its three games means Tomb Raider maybe renewed sometime soon.
