>Sonic Mania: 1 million copies sold in 1 year
>Sonic Superstars: 2.5 millions copies sold in 1 year and a half

Apologize.

>SEGA themselves literally called Superstars a flop

There is no discussion.

People can buy games they discover are a horrible experience after they do.

sonicfags truly deserve all the garbage they get

Is it time to retire classic Sonic or just let people who actually have a good idea how to make 2D Sonic games handle it?

Sonic X Shadow Generations has an "Overwhelmingly Positive" reception on Steam (driven almost entirely by the Shadow Generations portion).

>Sega had no expectations for Mania, a lazy romhack
>Sega had too high expectations for Superstars, a brand new high quality title

lol

I still haven't played, won't let Sega fuck me over with a Plus edition again.

They cut bait and ran. See >>713624934.

Get it next time it's on sale.

It's been almost 2 years and the Plus editions for Mania and Origins were meant to give them physical releases, Superstars launched with a physical release so it isn't getting one

Looks like SEGA was right, 3D DOES sell more than sprites

They don’t make good sonic games anymore :(

>>713624780 (OP)
Once again proving that 3D sells better than 2D. Though Mania's much better, obviously.

>>713624780 (OP)
Superstars sold off the goodwill of mania. Mania came out during a low point in Sonic's reputation and looks like a port of a Genesis game to the uninitiated

>>713624780 (OP)
Maniafags were delusional thinking zoomies wouldn't prefer a game with 3D models over sprite art. I prefer sprites but I'm also not living in a fantasy world, I know it's extremely niche.
