You have goddamn Umihara with a knife attack, doesn't get more retarded and less soulful than that. Might as well just give her an M4 to be completely contrary to her character. And the way they're insistingly parading around the Cave Story characters in every single Nicalis game is getting so annoying. Just give Pixel the money to make Cave Story 2 and stop parading these characters around for games nobody cares. The game doesn't particularly look good either.

Yeah. Sega aimed for the cool kids while Nintendo aimed for a more toddler audience.

The sheer amount of burger pandering was so obnoxious. Street Fighter's art style was ruined, Resident Evil became spectacle shite, Mega Man suddenly ceased to exist because they couldn't westernize him, linkin park Dante happened, etc. And it's not even over, they're already in the process of botching RE3.

Don't forget the tragedy of Lost Planet and how he raped Ninja Gaiden. I'm still mad to this day.

I don't have any data for this but I highly doubt they had a Ferrari license on the first release considering they used a Ferrari Testarrossa coupé that didn't actually exist, and we all know how Ferrari is anal about their brand. SEGA probably made amends afterwards and since the game became sort of a big cultural success it helped with further negotiations. It's just speculation though, I know nothing. The market back then even though was exploding it was still relatively small in the number of players so they could just go crazy and do shit they weren't supposed to do. Wouldn't surprise me if Suzuki just used the Ferrari on a whim and didn't even considered he needed a license. It was still Asia in the 80s, you know how they were like, not too different from the chinese at least in business dealings. They only became sort of more legit starting about that time.

Well, the Dreamcast was way ahead of its time but the Saturn was the cancer that put them on life support. The Genesis also had the superior ports on multiplatform games such as Mortal Kombat.

Man, regardless of this annoying ancient fucking console war of hurr who is better sega or nintendo. You'd have to be retarded if you don't like SEGA's game.

It's more that Sega was about pushing the limits, they were the Japanese id Software when it came to arcade. It's just that home games overtook arcades completely, and Sega had no recourse because they had never bothered much with really trying to do well in the home market (Sonic and Phantasy Star are arguably exceptions given how much of their fame and grandeur is wrapped up in arcades).

Sega was an arcade god whose market died and whose business heads were never mindful enough to realize it was a problem. That was a major failing point even ignoring the other gaffs they made.

In the modern age of minimalist design and super-ironic everything, an image like this which is so obviously made from the heart, it just hurts to even look at, as if I had been a happy child here, making friends and treasured memories, even though I've never seen this image before. It's incredible how much real love is in this picture.

I'm guessing these images are from 1998 or so? Anybody recognize the anime brands being advertised on the catcher machines?

I know this you pea brain but there is no "they", the only "they" there is, is Nicalis. If you're saying "they" as in the guy that made Cave Story, it's just a guy. He wasn't pushing his property on some bizarre forced Nicalis Universe, he was just putting some references in his own game.

Agreed, Heese is a hack biting off their design.

I wouldn't say bringing back the greatest design of Sonic is him being a "hack" user, more so he's just bringing back the best design of Sonic, which worked, seeing as how Mania Adventures has got millions of comments on each video saying how much they prefer this version of Sonic, and wracking up something stupid like 60m views.

The people who did that animation, were the same people who did the original dragon ball anime animation, which is peak soul stuff. Sega quite literally, hired MASTER anime artists to do an animation, and that is obviously what we got.

It's the one thing I wanted more of in the Mania Adventure animation, when Sonic blasts off and runs in CD intro, little stars come off him, it's aesthetic as fuck. I do believe it happens a couple of times in the Mania intro, actually.

But that's just it - he's not bringing back THAT design, he's mimicking it. And now everyone else is pushing that as the de facto classic Sonic design. The original design from Jam and Naoto Oshima are great, Toei Sonic brought that design in an animated form and Heese perverts it with his LOL WACKEE FACES XD. I don't give a fuck about how many views his shitty shorts got.

Not really, Kishimoto has had a lot more control over the shitty Sonic games, and has most of his experience with shitty Sonic games. He was the lead game designer of Secret Rings & Black Knight, and the Director of Lost World and Forces. Colors is the only good game he has directed. Sonic Boom had very little involvement from Iizuka, the retarded decision to hand Sonic to a studio that was sitting on it's ass from 2008 until 2012 was Sega of America's doing. Iizuka isn't all that great, but he is far from the root of the problem.

Man... the Mario Kart 64 graphics. I loved them. I remember the first time I saw Mario Kart. I wanted an N64 with it so badly but my parents didn't have the money. The art, the sounds, everything was great. But it was something about that Character Select screen that did it for me. Seeing Mario and Luigi in such great detail relative to the NES was awesome.

For those who don't know, there was a very brief, very strange period where Sonic and the others had their classic color scheme but the lanky Dreamcast proportions. The most notable instance of this transitional style is the manual artwork for 3D Blast's Japanese Saturn port.

Why do Americans always draw Eggman with completely black eyes, and have to yurn him into a slobbering ogre? He's a jolly mad scientist who gets beat by animals

Early Western Sonic media tired to portray him as a much more serious and sinister villain compared to in Japan (e.g SatAM, the comics)

americans have an obssession with drawing everything edgy
