He will always have a special place in my heart like Seseame Street, and other things I outgrew decades ago. Neat to see my kids starting to like Marios now.

SEGA Hasn't Given Up On Competing Against Mario With Sonic

SEGA’s Second Division Manager, Osamu Ohashi, wants to surpass Mario by strengthening the Sonic IP.

TheColbertinator327d ago

Pointless really. Mario is galactic .

SinisterMister326d ago

So is Sonic, but at a lesser level comparatively.

Snookies12324d ago

Nah, Sonic is definitely iconic but it will never be at the level of Mario. Much less surpass it...

Knightofelemia326d ago

They can compete but Mario will always win. Mario and Sonic cater to different fans or fans who like both.

jwillj2k4326d ago

Give sonic a reason to run fast mix in some Saw and Texas chainsaw features.

Barlos326d ago

Sonic doesn't have to compete though. Both are their own thing, there's plenty of room for them both.

Inverno326d ago

Thing is Sonic despite the bad games is still an icon as big as Mario, probably bigger cause he's seen more in media than Mario. More cartoons, more movies, more memes. So on that end he's good, they just gotta stop making bad games.

Rebel_Scum326d ago

Nailed it. Tbh though Sega don't know how to make a good Sonic game anymore.
