Sonic CD Review

With Sonic the Hedgehog 2 being the top-selling game on the Sega Genesis (#2 being Sonic the Hedgehog) Sega wanted to follow up with another success. Sonic 2 was being developed in the USA because Yuji Naka was tired of SEGA constantly watching him. Naoto Oshima and the rest of the staff who stayed behind worked on their version of Sonic the Hedgehog 2.While Sega of Japan was developing a different Sonic game. That game was Sonic CD. Sonic CD has become something of a cult classic because of the gameplay. Is it worthy of this title? Lets find out!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sonic the Hedgehog Review

Courtesy of SEGA 

During the 1980's, Mario (Super Mario Bros.) was the most well know video game character and popular game out there.  If you didn't have a copy of Super Mario Bros., you didn't have a complete NES collection.  Many competitors tried to take down the Italian plumber, but no one could stop him.  On one side, the 1990's were arriving, and Mario was making his transition to the 16-bit world with the SNES.  On the other side, SEGA was making a character that could take him down.  Many concept designs were made for the character; these ranged from a rabbit with stretchy ears, to an armadillo, who is now known as Mighty the Armadillo.  Soon, the decision to make the character a hedgehog was made; thus, Mr. Needlemouse was created.  Did I say Mr. Needlemouse?  I meant to say Sonic the Hedgehog!!!  With the boots inspired by Michael Jackson and Santa Claus, and Bill Clinton's "Get it done" attitude, the hedgehog was ready to run at supersonic speed and take on Mario in 1991 with his debut game Sonic the Hedgehog for the SEGA Genesis/ Mega Drive in 1991.
