Sonic as a Videogame Character - What happened? (6)

to be quite honest, I don't understand what the whole deal is with sonic hatin'. Obviously, Sonic couldn't stay in 2D - you just can't do it.

Sonic has always been marketed as more "edgy" than say his counterpart Mario. Therefore, he would get slightly different or dark roles than Him, but in the same way they've branched out into different kinds of titles than what they began as.

Everyone loved Sonic on the dreamcast, just like how everyone loved mario 64, so the only thing that's really changed is the occasional bad gameplay screwups (which is a shame, but certainly not the norm), and gameplay additions. I fail to see the difference between Sonic getting beast powers and Mario getting Fludd.

Had Sonic stayed closer to his 2D roots and not branched out, and kept a more kiddish style, Sonic team would be criticized for it.

Well, that's what I think anyway.
