The mandates is how they learn not to let the writer's imagination went uncheck.
The mandates came after Ken Pender legal issues.

There were mandates before his legal issues as well, lots of them. And more were added afterwards. Sonic can't cry, Sonic can only be friends with others, Sonic can't be related to anyone not even his own uncle etc.

Why it sounds like X-Men?
With mutants as minority?

I haven't read the IDW TMNT comics but I've seen bits of it. The mutants in TMNT are all animal people.

Unlike back then, nowadays they are too costly to make now.
With so many competitors right now, popular toys tend to have more expensive licenses.
Those high cost licenses get transferred to the buyers and most buyers (that aren't colectors) tend to go to the cheaper option.

Yeah but, we live in a time of 3D printing, surely toy manufacturing has become a bit easier since then.

I meant mandates about Sonic can't lose to Comic only characters. Sonic can lose to Eggman, Metal, Shadow, etc but not to comic only characters. Rumour said Ken wanted Sonic loses to Geoffrey St. John that's worse than before, even make Geoffrey took Sally's virginity first before Sonic. SEGA didn't allow it and make mandates about who Sonic can lose to.

IDW version is kinda good actually. Some of these animal people also show up as cameo in their newes beat em up games.

Easier? Yes. Less costly? The opposites of it. Getting licenses are more expensive than before.

I'm glad Penders didn't have Geoffrey porked the princess. Some even pointed out she would be under aged though it varies between 16-18 through various states.

All in all, my only concern is how many mandates IDW comics has. I'm concerned too many mandates my choke creative freedom of the comics. Like that stupid rule Sonic is not allowed to express rage or crying.

True. Imagine a Sonic spin-off in same style as this? Something more for older fans who grew up with the franchise. That doesn't mean we can't enjoy the main series stuff just be nice to have something where GUN is allowed to fire actual weapons or Rouge not afraid to have a bit of cleavage.

Yikes! I wonder why.

Yeah, and the funny thing ... mandates to fan favorite character, Shadow, is a lot more than Sonic.
Ian Flynn has stated that his least favorite character to write for is Shadow.
This is due to all the mandates surrounding him.
And sometimes SEGA's kinda vague too. For example :

Q : Ian, do Shadow and Rouge have any romantic feelings for each other or are they just friends?
Ian Flynn : According to Sega, neither.

It's probably back to mandates again.

Nice!!!

Sonic Origins SNS-exclusive special interview!

Everyone, are you enjoying Sonic Origins?🔵💨

We asked producer Nobuya Ohashi and director Katsuyuki Shigihara all sorts of questions about the game! The interview will be divided into four installments, so stay tuned for each release!
To start things off, we asked Producer Ohashi and Director Shigihara about when they first encountered Sonic, what notable memories they have from the games, and who their favorite characters are.

🗣️Producer Ohashi
When I lived in America, I could hear game music coming from my downstairs neighbor at my apartment. I didn't know which game the music belonged to, but I thought the songs sounded really nice. Later, I went to a store that had a Genesis (Mega Drive) on display that was playing the Green Hill Zone BGM, and I immediately recognized it as the song I'd heard so many times at my apartment! I bought a Genesis and Sonic on that day, and that was my first encounter with the franchise.
My favorite character is Dr. Eggman. Although he's a villain, he has a comical side to him that I find very endearing.

🗣️Director Shigihara
I first encountered Sonic when I was in elementary school. My neighbor was playing the Chemical Plant Zone stage in Sonic 2, and I remember being shocked at how unthinkably fast Sonic was moving, and I was impressed by how well my neighbor was controlling him. I have been involved with Sonic ever since joining Sega in 2010, and my first project was Sonic Colors.
My favorite game is Sonic 2 because it was the first Sonic title I laid my eyes upon, and also because I really like Tails.

It goes to show how hypocritical Sega seems to have become when it comes to these mandates. Shadow may not always get along with Sonic and his friends but he definitely has a friendship with Rouge and E-123 Omega.
I don't regard Shadow and Rouge romantically involved though. The very least perhaps they have "benefits" with their friendship but it be completely platonic, I imagine Rouge is somewhat of a gold digger (or in her case, "emerald" digger" given she's been after Knuckles family jewels for awhile.

Nice!!!

Its a genuine remark. I prefer the Dreamcast-era item boxes over the Modern-era item boxes.
The Dreamcast-era item box has a degree of tech which is somewhat of a call back to the Classic-era item boxes which most affectionately call "monitors" due to looking like computer screens. So the degree of technology in these item boxes look good for it. And the fact the monitor is replaced with a glass capsule with a holographic display for the icon makes it easy to identify the content of the item box at most 360° angle around it.
The Modern-era item boxes just look bland and plastic to me. Like one of those gachapon capsules but with blobs of plastic on top and bottom. Looks bland, somewhat ugly, meh.
