Yeah, it made me think that ... did SEGA already had rights for Sanic?
Since Sanic was also showing up in Sonic movie.
I "think" Sega owes a degree of rights to all Sonic fan characters, but they can't use them because... well, Sega can't use them because they're half-original and the fan's can't use them for profit because they're half-Sonic characters if that makes sense.
Sanic however they can use because as far as I'm aware YouTuber 0nyxheart made no ownership claim to Sanic and I don't think they legally could because it's just a badly drawn Sonic. Sega can use Sanic because... it's a badly drawn Sonic.

I myself dunno how I feel about Sanic. Ever since Sonic Colours the games just feel... I dunno, I'm still a Sonic fan and I want to stay loyal to Sonic until I'm done with life, but ever since Colours it feels like Sonic Team think "No one takes Sonic seriously, so why should we?" sort of attitude and went ahead to emphasize the toung-in-cheek humour the games usually have to just cringe.

It's why I am not at all hyped, psyked or even care at all about Sonic Colours: Ultimate. It's the game where the Sonic series embraced it's self-joking meme culture when I'd rather have more thought-out dialogue like the Adventure games or Unleashed had. Why don't Sonic Adventure or Sonic Unleashed get the Ultimate treatment? Seems unfair to me.

I still think Sonic Colours: Ultimate is the way SEGA compromize due to the fact that they can't get Sonic Rangers (or whatever the title of Sonic's new game will be) in 2021 where Sonic 30th anniversarry's happened.
They at least want 2021 get a Sonic game, so that's why they add remastered of past Sonic game.

But they could of still given any other game the Ultimate treatment but they chose Sonic Colours instead. There are fans who are tired of Sonic being more of a goof than he usually is, tired of the wisps, tired of Sonic Team treating their own franchise as a meme. They call it the "Meta-era" and say it started with Sonic Colours, and they want it to end.

Instead we're back at the beginning with even more wisps and SOnic's cringy midlife crisis attitude and Baldy McNosehair jokes.

Yes there are, but there are more lot of fans who haven't played Sonic Colors due it's only released on 1 console, and still has no PC version.
So I still think the choice is really well made.

Do I really want Sonic Colors get remastered? No, I already play the game a lot back then.
But I know a lot of my friends do, since they never got to own Wii before.

I know, I wouldn't want to take it away from anyone who hasn't played Sonic Colours before, especially given it was exclusive to the Wii... But they could of just made it a direct export to PC like they did with Sonic Lost World? Why aren't the other ported games good enough for a remake like Colours was?

They can't. I remember reading in the interview that Wii's structure is too different compared to other consoles. Many many adjustment had to be made.
Other ported games ... already had PC version so they're not their first priority.

I guess. Checking the Sonic games on Wii that explains why there has been no other adaption of a wii game... Which is a pity because would love Storybook games on the PC... if control-scheme is worked out.

Well I said my piece on the matter. Nothing I can do about it other than my choice whenever to get SC:U or not.
