alt Hacker NewsIs there anything else that has both risen and fallen as far? It's not like every (mainline) Mario game is blasting it out of the park, but he has certainly been more consistent overall. I've lost track of the number of times Sonic is over... and then he comes back with some modest amount of success... and then fades... and then comes back. And who would have guessed perhaps the first truly successful video game movie franchise, of all things?
To be fair, I hold the somewhat controversial opinion Sonic has always been better as a TV Show or Comic than as an actual video game franchise. I feel like the Sonic TV Shows always usually are good.
Even the worst ones, like Sonic X, still end up having an amazing third season that redeem the rest of the show.
Theres a reason Cosmo still gets referenced here and there all these years later.
