Sonic Boom

[XenoGamezTV]

Alright folks. I recently posted up a top ten about things Sega would like ya to forget and in one discussion I did mention about Sonic Boom and how the change in design and bad game could've ended the Sonic franchise. But in hindsight, what is good for kids can be good for business as well. After all, how come we purchase TMNT toys and such when we were kids? But that's besides the point. In all honesty, how do you all feel about Sonic Boom? The games, shows, characters, etc. Was a change necessary for the Sonic Franchise? Did it needed to include another character in the series? Did the games improve but at a bad time? Let me know on what ya feel.

I personally think the redesigns did nothing for the franchise and stuck it firmly in uncanny valley territory. It's clearly a toyetic move, though, as OP says.

Never played the games, but the cartoon was very good.
