I would have had so much respect for Sega if they had actually had integrity and kept Shadow dead, or at the very least, waited like a decade or something before reintroducing him back and having built a lot more hype over it by actually not over using the character or having him show up in the very next game after giving him a great send-off/death.

I really wonder what Sonic Adventure 3 was going to be story wise, since it was apparently in pre-production before Sega stopped making consoles.

I doubt they were thinking about SA3 during SA2's development since it was made with the possibility it might be the final Sonic game in mind

I think anon's thinking of Sonic Advance, which was being developed in the middle of Sonic Adventure 2's development.

in japan it was "adios".

considering sa2 being close to the dreamcast's departure, giving sonic japanese in his final line outside japan hits hard.

either sonic heroes or shadow the hedgehog since the later recycled the branching story idea that sonic adventure 1 was originally going to have.

Are you sure it's not a mistranslation and it wasn't along the lines of "you should make every game as if it's your final one"? I vaguely recall Naka or someone else saying the latter.

From SA2 Wikipedia, but the source is from history of Sonic book.
