Moreover, the failures have allowed anyone who favoured Nintendo back in the day to put on their smuggest face, and frequently (at the smallest provocation) proclaim that Sonic was never good to begin with. I guess for some the 16-bit console wars never stopped, huh? All the glowing reviews from early 90's magazines of yore, the huge volume of young fans it brought happiness to, the industry-wide recognition it garnered, the technical achievements, the incredible music, the enormous community it built, the immense sales and Disney-esque synergy, the inspiration it sparked in growing developers, artists, creators and musicians and the gateway it offered for their talents to blossom, those that changed their lives and forged lifelong careers out of just those first few, excellent Sonic games. You're comfortable disregarding all that?
You know what, fuck it, he's right.
Nintendo fans
are smug about Sonic sucking.
But you know why?
Because he
actually fucking sucks and always has*.
When Adventure was released, Nintendo released Mario 64 over two years beforehand. And Mario 64 was
still much better.
Sonic Heroes? There was Sunshine. And the gap was even wider despite Sunshine being lesser than 64.
Sonic 2006? There was motherfucking Galaxy. The gap was wide enough to cause a black hole.
And in the last two years: Sonic Boom? There was 3D World.
You can have your opinion that that 2D games were amazing and Nintendo fans are rewriting history, but who's rewriting history for his past 15 years of shitty game after shitty game? I'll tell you: the fucking furry posting that thread.

*Half of Generations, Colors, and (haven't played it yet) Generations are good though. But still not as good as any Mario platformer.
