If you were in charge of Sonic Team back in the 90s and were given the task of making a Sonic game for the Saturn, would you have made:
>A 2D game with some 3D/Mode 7 effects
or
>A fully 3D game similar to pic related

I choosenights

2D with 3D elements so we could transition into full 3D slowly and not fuck it up.
I would kill the series before it's too late
Something like the pic probably. Making a sidescroller in that age usually pushed people away from it because it wasn't "next gen" enough.

This better be worth it.

it is, this guy is autism in based form
Probably made it like Mario 3D Land and 3D World. A 3D game playing like the 2D ones in an arcade manner.
Also fuck the unnecessarily over done story. Nigga is a character made to be a 90s mascot. Doesn't need to be in Paradise Lost or something.

I would have made more games like Sonic R.

It wasn't an easy period to be in, everyone including big publishers were demanding impressive 3D game worlds, even if you could conceivably make the most impressively large and robust 2D games the technology allowed.
Shit, as I recall the likes of Symphony of the Night, Mega Man 8 and Mega Man X4 may not have been if Konami and Capcom didn't threaten to not release their other big players if they couldn't make these happen.

>Could have made a Sonic game to combat Donkey Kong Country with it's graphics.
>Made it on Gamegear instead causing it to play and run like shit

To be fair, they sort of did that with Sonic 3D Blast, but yeah putting something like that on the Game Gear instead of the Saturn or even the Genesis for that matter didn't make much sense.
2D with 3D is always awful. I'd go full 2d or 3d.
>>331140758
I would cancel it and develop another Phantasy Star game.
I doubt the saturn could handle levels big enough for sonic to actually go through while being fast.
2d with 3d special stages sound the best
