One thing I think puts it in perspective is that Sega really didn’t need a mascot in Japan as much as they did in the west. Sega had dominated the arcade market in the 80s and had a decent amount of ips before the first sonic even released. Rather than being THE Sega game it was just another good one amongst a line up of classics. If you were to ask a Japanese sega fan to name 90s classics they would say Phantasy Star, Sakura Wars or Virtua Fighter before ever thinking of him. This isn’t me saying the games weren’t popular at all of course, the originals sold well on the mega drive and they did have some hype for the early adventure era but it’s never been consistent.

at about 1:30 - I meant to say "Sonic Forces" and not "Sonic Frontiers"
Man I would love it if Sonic could hit it big in Japan. He’s so anime in so many ways already. They should love him! God bless Inugami Korone!
Never knew that

WTF is the deal with this ADHD editing style? Are you turning into a tiktok slop channel now?
Use Sonic American Artwork in the thumbnail
