    As it turns out they're going to go with a redesign by someone intimately familiar with the sonic franchise.

    You joke but true Sonic fans know that Ken Penders burnt all of his bridges with the folks involved with the Sonic IP a long time ago when he sued them for the rights to characters he created while writing stories for Archie Comics' Sonic the Hedgehog series.

    Gods I hope the artists keep a single frame of this as their frightful original design, just something to give people nightmares, nightmares they cannot find a reason for.

    I'm all over that, so long as it includes married couples.

    I had to see it to believe it.

    That's... that's awful.

    It was designed for a 6-button controller but for us poors growing up they were nice enough to also include a really shitty 3-button control scheme.

    Jeff Fowler is the Sonic movie director

    That uh, seems like a lot of work at this point

    I guess it'll boil down to much dosh Paramount wants to dump into reshoots and CGI work at this point. Given the visceral reaction/memery that this trailer generated I'd imagine they're strongly considering it.

    How much work would it be to put together a bad trailer that you know is going to generate massive negative buzz when you release it? Then generate massive positive buzz when you say "We're going to fix it"?
    Because this is a lot of attention paid to a movie that, given the competition, would otherwise probably be overlooked like a fart in a jacuzzi.

    Still waiting for that “positive buzz”.

    Hard disagree. The SNES classic list may be shorter, but it's got a lot more "must play" games IMHO:
    • Contra III
    • Donkey Kong Country
    • Earthbound
    • Final Fantasy VI
    • F-Zero
    • Kirby's Dream Course
    • Kirby Super Star
    • The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
    • Mega Man X
    • Secret of Mana
    • Star Fox
    • Star Fox 2 (previously unreleased)
    • Street Fighter II Turbo: Hyper Fighting Edition (the upgrade to Genesis' Championship Edition)
    • Super Castlevania IV
    • Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts
    • Super Mario Kart
    • Super Mario RPG
    • Super Mario World
    • Super Metroid
    • Super Punch-Out!!
    • Yoshi's Island
    Like, the only really big things missing from this are Chrono Trigger & a Super Bomberman title. Maybe some people would've preferred Castlevania: Dracula X to SCIV?

    This new Genesis mini looks really awesome, but that's a brutal line-up to compete against.

    I think it’s a great lineup but it absolutely blows my mind that SEGA has not managed to get the rights to SONIC THE HEDGEHOG games. Like holy shit.

    At some point just pay the ransom or whatever, or change the music, or do whatever. It’s insane.

    God no. PS2 has some classic moments, but PS4 is inarguably the best of the series and pretty much the only classic Phantasy Star to hold up on its own merits.

    Meanwhile, I CAN believe that Soleil/Crusader of Centy isn't on there, but wish it was.

    Also, surprised they didn't try and put Virtua Racing on there.

    Both of which are better choices than Virtua Fighter 2. Though to be fair, Cyborg Justice would've been a better choice, so it's not exactly a high bar.

    There's been some kind of lawsuit dragging on around Sonic 3 & Knuckles. Sega and the parties rumored to be involved refuse to speak on it so details are rumor mill at best, but it's apparently the reason you haven't seen an S3&K release since the Steam version almost ten years ago.
