Of course not. Money and scores are more important. They'll even give Shadow bazooka if it could bring the game gets 90 scores on metacritic and sold well.

In yet, missed opportunity to port Shadows game to modern consoles. Or the very least have it as an extra game in Shadow Generations.

WOW! CLASSIC SONIC? WHO COULD'VE PREDICTED THAT!

But, maybe Axel is thee to promote Crazy Taxi: World Tour? As for Aiai, maybe Party Central is getting a PC release? Eitherway, I hope Sega Team can get a permit for The Offsprings - All I Want.

It'll change the ESRB/PEGI/CERO rating if it was put as extra game in SxSG which limit its target market.

It was quite the turn out, Happy Birthday, Sonic!

Yeah, didn't expect TMNT, Spongebob, and Pac-Man to show up too.

Strike! While the iron is hot! Use that energy to fulfill your dream!

Aliens are always landing there too. Even baby Superman.

WOW! CLASSIC SONIC? WHO COULD'VE PREDICTED THAT!

The only guest character in CrossWorlds that could get away for not having voices.

But, maybe Axel is thee to promote Crazy Taxi: World Tour? As for Aiai, maybe Party Central is getting a PC release? Eitherway, I hope Sega Team can get a permit for The Offsprings - All I Want.

That's Amigo, not AiAi. 



Also Amigo already has a PC game version. Not on Steam though.

It'll change the ESRB/PEGI/CERO rating if it was put as extra game in SxSG which limit its target market.

Then sell it cheaply as a separate game! And don't tell me they won't because it's not marketable enough, or else we wouldn't have fan-projects such as 16-bit Sonic Triple Trouble, Project '06 or that mod to make Sonic Free Riders playable by controller.

Sonic Team claims these old Sonic games are lost causes and non-profitable, but fans are not only showing that there is still a legitimate interest in these games by remaking them for today's audience, but they're doing it for free!


If they had re-released Shadow the Hedgehog on Steam at around £10-20, I doubt that alone would be worth it for Sega. But if they re-released during F:YoS, it would likely sell a bit more than any other day, not by much granted but will still make a bit of a tidy sum next to Shadow Generations' profit.

But hey, I'm just a guy playing the fan-mod ReLoaded version for free, so what do I know?

Yeah, didn't expect TMNT, Spongebob, and Pac-Man to show up too.

Same can be said for CrossWorld game itself.

You forgot that SEGA now cares about Metacritic scores.
Releasing Shadow 05 would bring down their overall good scores now.
Shun Nakamura (director of Sonic 06) even hinted that he wanted to remake Sonic 06 for modern platform but of course SEGA wouldn't let him to.
It's not about Sonic Team, it's about higher-ups on SEGA that love to maintain good metacritic scores for their reports.
Shinobi and CrossWorlds sales number might not hit the target but they don't seem mindthat much since both have good scores and the blame puts on the marketing team now, not on the developers.

Yeah, but it's on M-M-M-Meta.

Hush... Mark Zuckerberg loves you.

It's all well and good if you ain't fat or live a physically active lifestyle.

Seeing all Sonic characters in the games actively running (not counting Big the Cat) all these years should motivate us to run ... right?

Sonic's 35th Anniversary Treasure Hunt sparks privacy backlash for data sharing with third-party AI vendors as others brush it off like common social media policies.

SEGA launched the Chaos Hunt on June 23 to mark 35 years since Sonic's Sega Genesis debut, inviting players to join the Sonic Squad online and track eight emeralds for prizes like games, merch, and VIP trips to the October 9 Club Chaos event in Brooklyn. The event features Sonic-themed food, DJ Tee Lopes, and racing finals, with official updates styled like breaking news. Some fans, however, spotted terms requiring data sharing with third-party AI vendors via the 'Community' platform for auto-responses and model training, fueling division as others brush it off like common social media policies.
