Description If you've never looked at the concept art or read the production notes of the first Sonic game, you may not know what's going on here.

Sonic was a wolf, then a rabbit, Green Hill was at night, UFOs in Marble Zone, and there was a girl named Madonna. Isn't it funny though, that 1991 Sonic Team knew it might be a bit creepy to have a human/cartoon hedgehog love theme, but 2006 Sonic Team went ahead and did it anyway....

I wonder if any of these old concepts could've taken off like the Sonic we got did.

Perhaps one day SEGA will re-use these concepts (beyond the human thing, of course) and we can see for sure...

But I doubt that will actually happen. Due to constant fan "demand", we'll just probably see as many "Sonic 1 with HD graphics" remakes as they think they can get away with (or, as I like to call it, the Ocarina of Time Syndrome).

That chance would have been with Generations, which was a never ending sea of missed opportunities as far as fan service goes (or rather could have gone).

Well, it was still a nostalgic treat...and everyone managed to complain about anything anyway.

It was definitely fun, but was pretty lacking as far as nostalgia went. It was more nostalgic for newer Sonic fans than older.

Not so sure about that. Not many people were feeling nostalgic about Crisis City. Or Silver. Which annoys me, because SEGA seems to handle the existence of 2006 like an ostrich; sticking their collective head into a bucket of sand and the problem magically goes away. I hate it when they do that.
