Why did it flop?

Double the price of Sonic Mania and all this DLC bullshit for some 30 year old MegaDrive roms.
Jason Nguyen
I guess that means people aren't as in to 2d Sonic as they say they are.
Nicholas Gutierrez
Not getting close to the quality of the already made remakes of the classic games.
Sebastian Brown
Sega has resold these same roms packaged up six different ways now that I can think of (including Origins). You can only buy the same games so many times.
Bentley Gutierrez
who at this point hasn't bought these games by now?

sonic mania's insane profitable success shows they are it's just sonic / sega official teams are mentally retarded and should all be fired immediately.
Dylan Sanders
For anyone who cares about 2d sonic, they'll know there's a free, definitive way to play all these games on PC already for free.
For anyone who doesn't care, they don't see the value in spending so much for old games.
It was a lose/lose on Sega's part to release it like this.

>overpriced
>launched with a bunch of bugs
>not enough new content to justify the purchase
>better versions exist on PC for free
Not really hard to see why it flopped. You'd think Sega would have learned their lesson after Sonic Colors Ultimate but here we are.

I bet Mania 2 with all new levels still wouldn't do that well
Samuel Foster
>remove denuovo
> lower price to 25$
> metal sonic, amy and knuckles playable through all games

mania was a pretty big deal. a new sonic game that was actually great and didn't suck dick AND it was in classic pixel style 2D was an impressive sight to behold. if mania 2 released I think about 80-85% of people who enjoyed mania 1 would probably buy it if it was actually good and didn't fall into any of the bullshit pitfalls origins did.
Levi Morgan
it would if Sonic Team doesnt get their grubby hands on it. Never forget that Stealth took one for the team and exposed how Sonic Team ruined Origins after it was handed to them.
Liam Wood
I will never purchase a 2d sonic game again :)
Joshua Scott
Jacob Lopez
no mj no buy
Jayden Morris
Speaking as a genuine Sega Boy, I was up for buying Sonic Origins but I was put off by the numerous bugs, the lack of the Michael Jackson themes (and the poor sequencing of the prototype music replacements), and the general sense of '06 syndrome where Sega rushed it out the door before it was ready to meet a deadline.
Joseph Ward
cause I realized all 2d games feel the same, and aren't interesting.
Andrew Cooper
>Make a compilation solely to introduce new people from the Sonic movies to the classic games
>Make it fucking digital only
That's why if it's selling like shit. They'll give a fucking physical release to Mania which sold completely fine but not this.
Nicholas Cooper
>Games don't needlessly change their formula into something controversial and bad.
What a nightmare.
Juan Hughes
Funny you'd bring up the mega man game, which also failed for never evolving. Face it, 2d will never change, and that's why it fails. Mania was only popular as it was because it was a breath of fresh air, and it nostalgia baited classic fags. Now that nostalgia well has been fucking tapped. What's the appeal of 2d now? No evolving story to get people interested into seeing what happens next. No new gameplay that changes the way you play the game. 2d fags will say purity is best, but purity is also fucking boring.
Evan Flores
>in the logo
>used for promotion
>playstyle already in established in Advance 1
>Not playable
Fuck this man. Also this >>can't play as everyone despite having the oppotunity
Joshua Carter
11 was the best selling Megaman yet. The series "failed" because Capcom execs kept trying to turn it into something it wasn't and driving off their fans. And the same thing is happening with Sonic, getting twisted into all kinds of broken gameplay styles because the devs insist upon reinventing the wheel every game.
Funny how their best selling games in recent memory occur when they go back to basics. Go figure.
Jackson Lee
>Mania was only popular as it was because it was a breath of fresh air
No it wasn't the fuck. Most of Mania's stages are from previous games, which wasn't something new either, because gens already did that as well as brought back classic sonic. Lost World didn't automatically become popular because it was a breath of fresh air from the boost formula, people don't look back on the story of Sonic colors fondly for being a breath of fresh air at the time. Mania was popular because it was a good game, stop being retarded.
Hudson Gray
For such a loved game, nobody seems to be playing Mania anymore.
Joseph Adams
dude, you're coping hard. Megaman is dead because nobody is interested in "the classic" gameplay except nostalgia fags.
Justin Sullivan
Sonic Mania averages 150-200 daily players on Steam after 5 years
Charles Rogers
>resorting to making shit up out your ass
Carter Gomez
>Ignoring that 11 sold well
You're precious.
Michael Gomez
>150-200
Sonic Adventure 2 gets more despite being a way older game and just a port ;)
William Gray
>150-200 daily players
Concurrent, not daily. Daily player count would be even higher.
Isaac Barnes

Jayden Miller

That's the opposite of what happened.
>Most of it's series that evolved/took the series in a new direction didn't do well (Legends, Zero, ZX, SF)
>The more popular series had severe quality dips (Classic, X, BN)
Matthew James
Sorry not sorry your game is doing worse than a game from 2001.
Colton Howard
The recent collections and their sales seem to say otherwise
William Scott
It's not even that much of a difference.
Also, pretty funny how SA2 player activity completely fucking dies when amerimutts are asleep.

OH no! Is there a reason I'm supposed to care?
