Message: [QUOTE="TheManWithPants, post: 348426, member: 286661"] The PC ports of both Adventure games have retranslation mods already, unless you mean the original Dreamcast/Gamecube versions. You can find them on Gamebanana. Yeah, many of them don't really see Sonic as a 'Japanese' character, since there's a lot of western influence over the series. They see him more as an American cartoon character, and tend to prefer Sonic either be like Mickey Mouse/Looney Tunes, or something along the lines of Star Wars/Indiana Jones/Marvel/DC. I feel like a lot of western fans don't really like what Sonic actually IS, but rather the 'idea' of the character, and tend to only enjoy the games through that lens. There's still a bunch of 90s Sonic fans that still insist on calling the character 'Robotnik' and will get angry at you if you call the character 'Eggman', which is what his name always was in Japan, and they hate the idea of the Sonic cast interacting with humans because they weren't around in the Genesis/MD era. Sonic's success in the western market has always been a double-edged sword in that regard, and it doesn't help that the series never really took off in Japan. [/QUOTE]
