>>94777023>Well has Sonic Boom really done any of the things not allowed?Don't think so, though I confess I don't really know why you ask. I worded my other post poorly. I was just listing off contradictions between Sega's apparent regard for the show and walling off of the games. Supposedly the show impressed them enough to redirect the game's development. However, they were also looking to unload something quick to end their three game exclusive contract with the WiiU, which is the origin of its many problems. So I was just wondering whether Sega would themselves put any effort towards keeping the show going, such as shopping around for a new host and such. They're a pretty bizarre company, historically. A lot of left and right hands slapping each other, especially between Japan and US divisions. I'd heard they'd gotten a new, relatively younger CEO recently. And the mere existence of Mania seems like a point towards them settling down a bit on the whole "fucking themselves over" thing.
For reference, the show and the games have very little in common besides the tone, characters, and setting. They might as well be different continuities, for how much they actually reference each other. I think the second 3DS game, produced after the joint release of the original 3DS game and the WiiU game, has the same disregard for the existence of the originals as the show and first games do. The games are supposed to lead into the show, but you'd never really know it.
>>94777245So I hear, but I'm honestly distant enough from the fandom that I've only ever heard industry stuff here and on
TVTropes. Additionally, all the echnida nonsense was apparently because they were especially stingy with allowing Sonic to do things, but were more fine with stuff happening related to Knuckles. One presumes you'd have to track down old forums posts the comic creators made to be sure this isn't all just misheard, misunderstood, made up nonsense.
