That abomination they are now calling Sonic on a mock up of old box art makes my childhood vomit.
The fact that Sonic is still around, kicking goals, being loved by children everywhere, and making Mario look incompetent; well this makes my childhood smile.
I never would have even dreamed I’d be buying Sonic figures for my children.
Lol that's funny. Main line Mario games are matchless. Best performers there are (though Astro Bot does come close).
This is from someone who grew up with a Genesis. There is a reason Sega stopped making consoles...
Not everyone is the same. I thought the Mario games were bad back then, and I think they got worse with 3D.
Don’t get me started on Mario’s visual design and lack of aesthetic appeal.
Well said!
One of my fondest childhood memories is opening a shared gift with my older brother on Christmas morning. A Sega Genesis, Toejam & Earl and Sonic The Hedghehog.
One of my fondest adulthood memories is watching the Sonic movies with my kids and watching them fall in love with this new version of something I grew up loving just as much.
Grow up, your childhood hasn't been affected one iota by new things.
