Dec. 27 #Sonic3movie gets off to a dismal start in Japan with est. $180K on opening day . Aproxx $0.9M opening weekend incoming and a complete collapse thereafter as the franchise continues its downward spiral in Japan pic.twitter.com/RycKyxvaPA
Sega heavily pushed this movie pretty hard in Japan since its the most action packed and game accurate of the three and it still managed to flop.
A nation of Nintendrones can't handle a free spirit like Sonic
Yet they will happily grovel towards any repackaged Mario and Pokemon repackaged mediocrity

In Japan and yeah sonic is not popular here lol never heard anyone talking about sonic in my entire life it’s actually sad..ppl are more of Mario fans

Tho rejoice because Sonic's creator Supports Satam/Archie Kino and the Freedom Fighters !furries

Thats too bad tbh. I remember taking my niece and nephew to the first one at the mall, and we went to the bigass candy store first where I taught them how to smuggle a buncha cheap candy into the movies and we had a good time watching it
There was a disturbing amount of lone adult men in the theater though

There is a mod which fixes some of the issues with it on gamecube. Game has some cool levels but some real dog shit ones which ruin it.

Sonic was designed for the American market, no surprise. I think a monkeyball movie would do better (in Japan, not the rest of the world).

For the first Sonic a bunch of Japs moved to California specifically to be inspired to create a game that appealed to western audience
Jump in the discussion.

Thats Sonic adventure 2. Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Sonic Spinball, and Sonic and Knuckles were all developed by a western studio called Sega Technical Institute (STI) headed by Mark Cerny
(the architect of the Vita, PS4 and PS5) which was a joint venture where JP devs moved to America to assist the Western devs. !g*mers

I haven't watched it so I can't judge, but I think it may be the fact that the Japanese are notoriously insular, and have stopped emulating western culture.

AI generated TL;DW:
Peter Thiel discusses Japan's historical success in rapidly emulating the West, particularly the United States, but highlights its recent shift away from globalization and diminished interest in American culture and innovation. He questions whether this reflects a stagnation in U.S. innovation and global influence, making the country less worthy of imitation. Thiel contrasts Japan's trajectory with China's larger scale and potential to surpass the U.S. economically, emphasizing the importance of technological progress for maintaining leadership.

Apparently the new movie is pretty good. I think Sega has just burned a lot of their good will in Japan with Sonic. Shame because I still like the blue blur even if most of his stuff is shit.

Ive literally never consoooomed any kind of sanic product ever, and tbh I dont see anything interesting about it. Its a hedgehog that goes fast.... kind of ok for a game in the sidescroller era, but beyond that it sounds pretty boring and superfluous.
Jump in the discussion.

Nah, it actually sucks shit as a sidescroller. The gimmick is go fast, aka hold right on the controller so the little mouse scrolls through the level really speedy, but the level design isn't really conductive of speed, so you awkwardly stop and go

people who say "hold right" reveal themselves as having never played the game properly because the direction you want to hold is down, the input that makes you roll. hope that fricking helps.

Being a WN meme account, the only thing @Jared_Taylor remember from the sonic movie was BIPOCs complaining about the interracial romance in the movie.
@Jared_Taylor's friend said was decent for a kid's movie. Trans lives matter
