Paramount Pictures has taken a nostalgic approach to promoting the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog 3 movie by creating a fully functional Sega Genesis cartridge as part of its press kit.
I look forward to someone dumping the ROM so I can load it up on my emulator once, mess around with it for five minutes, go “huh,” and forget about it forever afterward but still keep sitting in my emulation folders for completeness’ sake along with Austin Powers Pinball, The New Adventures of Mary-Kate and Ashley, and those weird naked Japanese mahjong games.
I…don’t understand. Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is about Shadow from Sonic Adventure 2 for the Dreamcast, and they put it on a platform two generations before that game or the Dreamcast were ever created?
I expect it’s because when you mention Sonic, most people just think MegaDrive/Genesis. They’re not going for technical details.
That abomination they are now calling Sonic on a mock up of old box art makes my childhood vomit.
The fact that Sonic is still around, kicking goals, being loved by children everywhere, and making Mario look incompetent; well this makes my childhood smile.
I never would have even dreamed I’d be buying Sonic figures for my children.
making Mario look incompetent
Lol that’s funny. Main line Mario games are matchless. Best performers there are (though Astro Bot does come close).
This is from someone who grew up with a Genesis. There is a reason Sega stopped making consoles…
