That was just a random idea which came up in my mind today earlier. I was discussing with a friend at school that Sonic didn't had so many memorable titles since Generations. Alright, may we mention Sonic Mania (Plus) and Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed (And its prequels and variations). Aside the TV series, Sonic Boom proved to be a failure, Sonic Forces and Lost World were OK. Than, I was wandering around the web, and asking myself a few reasons why I still follow the Sonic franchise, and I came up with a few interesting points: Shorts and Game Promotional content: Sonic Mania Adventures which says by itself. I don't think there's a great doubt that the series is enjoyed by most of fans. Even with Sonic Mania Plus, those kind of media is always appreciated. Other thing which I miss so much on nowadays which I loved from the Classic and Adventure era were the Artworks. As a kid, I always loved to wonder what Sonic was doing when he was not saving the day on video games. Minor and mobile games: Without to mention that Sonic Mania was mostly an "official" fan game, I think one of the most games I usually have enjoyed in the last months of Sonic are in the mobile ones. Sonic Dash and the mini Sonic's SEGA Forever collection were some of the most games I played. And that's a crucial point for this topic for me. I think one of the bests examples I can say is Sonic 4 (At least, the episode I). Even with the mixed/average reception, I need to say that the game was an excellent boredom slayer on my iPod Touch. Sonic popularity in TVs and Cartoons. Something which Sonic is one of the few video games franchises who can be proud of, is its popularity on the TV. As said above, Sonic Boom was one of the few things who people liked from the sub-franchise, but that's not all, you certainly need to agree that Sonic in Wreck-it-Ralph was one of the main reasons you had to watch the movie, if not, at least gave it a special touch. And well, now he's backing for the sequel. The Music Even moved into a further music style that is very different from the Sonic franchise (Meanwhile I'm more into Electro/Techno and Trance, and Sonic is more Rock/Indie Pop), the music is one of the main reasons why people still interested on the franchise, Sonic '06 is the best example I can give, as many of us certainly said once "The only "good" side of it, is the music". And Sonic was my first kickstart for really enjoying having music in my cellphone or keep listening some music wherever I am, same the songs don't having any relation to Sonic anymore. Alright, but everything above is just my opinion. Now, try to imagine this situation: Sonic still the main franchise of SEGA, however they don't develop big titles anymore (As Sonic Forces, Lost World or Generations) and the only games we have are minor or third party games as a few mobile titles or things such as Sonic Mania and Sonic Team Racing. The money saved from making games is now invested into the make of toys, new (Or enchantment) of new TV Series, movies, improvement and promotion of the comics books or even try something new at the web. In a few words, stop having big titles and having more investment on minor things. Even all of us knowing this is a very unlikely scenario, do you think that the franchise would keep going? Looking to the actual situation of the franchise (Which aren't one of the worse), would you adopt this (Or part of the) idea? Which points would you change and keep for having a better series?

As said above, I definitely would love to have a better version of Sonic R. Compatible with newer system and etc. Not much than that. I've downloaded the 2004 version and added some patches and the game runs pretty fine on Windows 10 x64. So that's not might be my priority now. But if I really can dream high, I extremely would love if SEGA decided to remake Sonic 2 as it was intended back in 1992. With Hidden Palace, Dust Hill, Genocide City, Wood and any other scrapped level. If even possible, add and finish the original time travel idea, I would love that (And I think adding Hidden Palace or Dust Hill to Sonic Mania is far from a bad idea). Aside from those two games, maybe an official port of Knuckles' Chaotix (Even a SEGA Forever one). Maybe they could do a better look at those old and lost arcade Sonic Games as SEGASonic Bros., Waku Waku Sonic Car Patrol, the popcorn game and the spaceship game which I don't remember the name now, but I also don't fell it's that attractive. Maybe a collection of those old Java Mobile games won't be a bad idea too. By the way, Sonic have an extreme library of obscure games, Sonic Team/SEGA could give them a bit of light. Oh... and just remembered the advance series.

I think he meant the fact that the movie had lower opening box than Rogue One. Wait... Star Wars 9 already is out? I think you meant 7 & 8. Talking about the subject now. As being someone who born after the prequels (I'm from 2003), I must say that I'm mostly satisfied with this new movies. Rogue One is still my favorite, much like followed by Episode VI and V. It's been a while I don't watch the prequels (I think the last one was Episode 2 when I was only 10 years old, now I'm 15). Being veeery sincere now, and after analyzing and reviewing my thoughts, I fell the Spin-Offs series are going better than the sequel ones. Rogue One was incredible, meanwhile Solo had some great highs, and a few lows. As many people said, VII was mostly a re-record of IV, but I've enjoyed at all. I think I put too much hype on VIII and now I disliked it. But something I fell after re-watching a few scenes of Rogue One and Episode VII I often found on TV, I fell the movies are quite getting more of the same. Like, very similar spaceship battles and scenarios. I'm thinking now, how easily I could confuse any scene of Rey, Jyn or Q'ira on a desert.

Is it related with this: Sega Blast Heroes, a game which was leaked in July 2016, but it never released. Much like how this sounds to be, a few ads offering job to work for it were released in other apps for a few days, but since that, we never ever received newer info. A few images also were leaked: Plus: Here's the SSMB topic. If this is true, it would be very awesome because it just came with info about SegaSonic Bros. another game which I was very excited and haven't received any info for a while.
