Sonic the Hedgehog, What Happened?
FredL2000
I have a problem. I've noticed that being a Sonic Fan isn't what it used to be.
Both of the cartoons have been canceled years ago, the comic books are getting
worse and worse (sorry Archie), the production of new Sonic video games has
decreased, people everywhere are becoming less enthusiastic (check my spelling)
about the Blue Hedgehog, and I even heard a rumor that Sega of America is going
out of business. What is happening? As Sonic Fans we should do something to
save Sonic the Hedgehog from being uncool. But the question is what can we do?
Right now it's 10:00 Central Time, and I'm depressed. Maybe I need to take more
Prozac, but seriously, Sonic the Hedgehog isn't quite as popular as he used to
be. I'm sure I am not the only one who feels this way, but if anyone has any
ideas or comments, please respond to this message.

True, things have been on the decline but hopefully things will get better when
Dreamcast comes out, but that's a maybe.

What happened? Those morons at Sega, that's what happened. They are the ones
who allowed Sonic to be cast in two cartoons and a comic book that nearly had
no elements from his games (like all of Robotnik's robots instead of those
boring and repetitive squat...uh, SWAT-bots, and those power shields). From
what I read and saw, the anime is closer to the game but not close enough.
What's more, they spent most of their time making failing systems (Sega CD,
32X, and Saturn) instead of more Sonic games. And that cancelled Sonic game
looked interesting, too. I heard that if Sega's next system isn't successful,
it's game over for them in the console department. Well, they shall have no
one else to blame but themselves if so.
CMJ
I have a feeling that once this Dreamcast is out, that Sega and Sonic
will regain the popularity it once had. Also, I think the N64's arrival
has really ruined people's image of Sonic, too. After that happened,
people gave up on Sonic fandom, and became born-again Mario/Nintendo fans.
Don't worry, people! Hang in there until the Dreamcast comes out, then
Sonic will regain it's popularity. Besides, if Sonic wasn't popular
anymore, they wouldn't be making Sonic Underground, would they? Think
about it. So, please just once let's be positive, after all, we're Sonic
fans, and we priase Sonic, right?

Fnar. That's now. When the Dreamcast comes out, Sonic Team will help
meet our expectations.

No offense, but the SoA have only themselves to blame. If they can't
be bothered to get cool games for the Saturn, and blocking all holes
labelled 'Sonic fans', then that's their look out
.

We all feel like this now and then, people say 'Sonic will die in a
matter of months!!!'.
No.
That's not going to happen, or at least if Sonic Team don't plan to
rest on their laurels. For, sadly, if I remember rightly, Sonic Team
made very little contribution (in the way of Sonic games) to the
Saturn. I say Sonic Team should stick with what they know best, the
first word of their team. Sonic.
Although NiGHTS is a very cool game, I'd much prefer a Sonic title,
but that's in my opinion. I'm sure many people would prefer NiGHTS to
Sonic.
Hopefully Sonic Team will release some ground-breaking title for the
DreamCast and all these fears will be quashed for another 5 years or
so. They can hardly ignore the public. People who write into the UK
'SSM' magazine are screaming for another Sonic game before the Saturn
goes out.
Until then, keep your hopes up, and wait for the outcome.
Later.

I wouldn't say that Sega is going out of business, especially not if they
have enough money, $100,000,000, to spend for advertising for the Dreamcast
just in the month of December of 99! Losing popularity, maybe but going out
of business? No. And I'm gonig to to also say what everyone else has said,
wait till Dreamcast! Then things will start to heat up! And don't feel like
your the only one noticing Sonic becoming less popular, it is happening.
But that doesn't mean that he can't make his way back to the top. He still
has us!

Oh, that won't be out for very long, seeing as the world is going to end
in 1999.

Interesting. Let's start with the systems true the Mega CD and 32X failed
and were quite poor (Sonic CD was cool though) and there are a few reasons
why Saturn failed but not because it's crap. The Mega CD and 32X made people
lose trust in Sega, Sega had crappy advertising, it was hard to program but
the console was good I mean the Mega CD was bulky and too expensive
considering you had to have a Mega Drive, same with the 32X but instead of
bulky it was just ugly. Would you rather Sega made 1 or 2 more Sonic games
for the MD instead of a new system, having a 16-bit fight the war against 32
and 64-bit consoles? Sonic Extreme looked cool I agree. Last point, if they
dropped out of the console market it wouldn't be permanent. They could make
games for PC concentrate more of the arcade games and a few years later they
return in a blaze of glory with a 1493582- bit Sega Super console and rule
the console market but they won't need to as Dreamcast WILL be a success.

Maybe, I think too, the Fleetway comic have more elements from Sonic games
than Archie.
But now, the artwork quality of the Fleetway isn't as good as it was in
firsts issues...

I think the release of the Dreamcast will not change a lot of things if SEGA
doesn't decide to change their strategy and making less faults, as release
so much console......
The saturn was a very good console, but... now everyone know that the Saturn
will not have a good future as the Megadrive.
Some of new editors will developpe games for the Dreamcast, : I think
especially about "No cliché" which is a FRENCH team.

Personnally, I like both charaters (but I prefer Sonic), the stuff which
could save the "Sonic World" is to join Sonic & Nights. ^^
And it is what I have already begin to do.

...And you hit the nail right on the head, the Saturn may be dying out
(???), but I can pick up some quality titles for under £10. I got the
wonderful NiGHTS for £9.99 (about $12-14?) and I could of pick Panzer
Dragoon up for a mere £7.99 (about $9-11?) and once the DreamCast
comes out, well, let's hope Sega advertise more and third party
devolopers pitch in more.
And best of all, with a PC based engine, there shouldn't any more
*ahem* 'technical problems with the Saturn', e.g...
"We can't make xxxxx game work on the Saturn because we can be arsed
to get off our little butts and add one more line of code... NOOOOO...
that's too hard for us... WAAAHHHH. ME WANT PAY RISE!"
Sonic will soon be re-established as THE gaming icon, as he was 5 or
so years ago...

Sega won't make that mistake again unless they are as intellegent as

I know I didn't. I have an N64 and I still am a Sonic fan, but I have only
played one of the games that spawned the blue wonder. Hmm...maybe fans want
something more than silly robots and obnoxious music, eh? See below.

We do, but therein lies that ever present question of the core audience for
Sonic fandom. Who does it include? 7 year olds? Slightly older pre-teens?
I'm with the camp that supports a move of Sonic fandom away from the games
themselves (Dan Drazen being a notable example). I mean, you can only
restrict yourself so much to the limited world that SEGA's game designers have
put into Sonic games, before you break out of the mold and design new
characters, plots, and timelines.
Perhaps there should be a split of the fandom. The youngsters (who still
amount to the majority of fans) can have the Sonic games and the syndicated
madness that was "The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog", while the hardcore
members of the fandom can draw upon more sophisticated sources such as DiC's
series and Archie. The problem that Sonic fandom faces now is that the
hardcore fans aren't speaking up enough. It's all "I love you Sonic! Where
can I get a pair of your shoes? That evil Robotnick is so...so...evil!" I
mean, really, can we expect to have our fandom taken seriously by any
community of sci-fi or fantasy fans if all we have is screaming children as
our spokespeople? I don't like to take a pot shot at those who probably don't
know any better, and maybe it's better left to kids, but it bugs the hell out
of me when I'm laughed at for liking Sonic.
I dunno, what do the fans on this NG think?

Anyone who laughs at you for liking sonic is an idiot.
Liking Sonci makes a whole lot more sense than Sports.

Umm.. I heard a rumor that they are, but it's just a rumor anyway. {If the
rumor is true, I just hope they keep Jackle. I don't need to worry about Reala
[anybody know how his name is pronounced anyway?] as he is most likely to
return. But Jackle was one of my most favorite characters. If only Archie
focused more on Jackle being more insane then I would've been a happy camper.:(

So I've noticed. I think this was the primary reason I defended him in
the beginning. He looks okay unless he's insulting someone. For some
reason, decency takes higher priority in my mind than insult, so it was
easy for me to forget his insults after a period of him acting normal.

Real-a? (real as in the word, and a like "uh"). That's how I pronounce it.

Well it could be, it's just I saw the word "real" in his (her?) name and
decided that he (she?) wanted to stop the fake dream and bring you back to
REALity.

I always say it it Ree-A-La, that A is a long A, like you'd say the letter
itself. Ree-yay-la, kinda more like. That's probably wrong, but I think it
sounds better..

Well, in the instructions booklet they refer to Reala as "he". NiGHTS on the
other hand, well, they never mention what NiGHTS' gender is.

I have an interview of Sonic Team where they say what is Nights' gender....
And it's not female and not male....... It's no one of them..............And
it's both too ..... They said we can see Nights as we want......
Nights is a sort of Angel even if he was created by Wizeman to be a bad
one....

I would imagine it's pronounced [REE-al-uh]
