You know, we really need another Billy Hatcher game, also I'm practically astounded by just how much Sega has been try to solely ride on Sonic's success, when really they should bring some series back and give the new sequels. Like sure Mario's successful for Nintendo, but they have other franchises they utilize well.

I believe the entire game was SEGA making fun of their financial fuck-ups and also taking a stab at Sony. Speaking of which, Dynamite Headdy called out SoJ for wasting money on the 32X. The secret boss was the president at the time.

Not sure how much I buy it. One guy converted Sonic CD to run on multiple systems natively in 16:9 resolution without emulation, and Sega was so impressed that they paid him to release it officially.

Sonic 1 for GBA was just plain a crappy port that was handled horribly by incompetent programmers.

they cut off the gangrene limb (consoles) to stay alive for a good while longer. only problem is, they killed off all their older franchises and are focusing on Sonic and a few HEY REMEMBER WHEN SEGA WAS GOOD? things.

the west is keeping sega afloat i think, japan never cared much for sega in the 90's.

It's worth noting that Stealth, the guy who worked with Taxman, singlehandedly created a virtually flawless port of Sonic 1 for GBA just to show Sega how fucking incompetent they are.
Say what you will about the Sonic fanbase, while it has some of the worst, it also has some of the best. Just like the Sonic series itself.

It's a decent remake, although the weird semi-realistic look is kind of offputting for me.

The censorship kills the game's tone in my opinion, although that might have been MS' influence.

The biggest crime of all is the multiplayer. If they're going to focus on the online, why the hell would they strip it back from the N64 release?

Phantasy Star had the Generations remake for 1 and 2 on PS2 which balanced a number of things out. There were plans for 3 and 4 but were scrapped.
Ecco had a Dreamcast/PS2 game then was never heard from again
Panzer Dragoon had Orta on Xbox
Crazy Taxi itself had ports to more recent system with licensed content removed. The actual last game numbered entry was 3 on Xbox.
Toejam and Earl had a third game on Xbox, the creators somehow got the rights off Sega and launched a Kickstarter for a revival to which they have done fuck all. So at this point Back in the Groove is a successful scam that netted half a million dollars.
Fantasy Zone had a Sega Ages remake for PS2.
