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.

Why do sega care for Metacritic so much?
I don't look at Metacritic, I simply buy and play games I like.

Hush... Mark Zuckerberg loves you.

Not in a healthy way.

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

I ain't built for that.

Why do sega care for Metacritic so much?

I don't know, may be it looks good on their quarterly reports for the investors or that's what their investors want.
Either way, they always mentioned it there now, even when saleswise the games didn't perform well like Sonic CW and Shinobi AOV.



I guess it's their way of saying to the investors "we're done making bad games" and shift the focus on a marketing aspect.

Not in a healthy way.

Love is love.

I ain't built for that.

That pic. That's not fat ... that's ...
