Wow I just realized Tails used to look so cool until Sonic Adventure 1...he lost all his awesome attitude that was there in Sonic 2 and especially 3.

I like AoSTH, but I've never been able to figure out what was up with Tails' eyes... (you can't just blame cheap animation either as it's not a common problem with other characters) Actually I think it carried over to SatAM to some degree, so it can't be due to animation quality.

I don't see it that much. He looks pretty innocent in both the box art (JP and US) and sprites of Sonic 2 and 3/K and not too much different in the models used for SA1 and 2. (maybe in the art) I can certainly see it more in some later games (and art) though.

And I don't even want to bring this up: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51AH7KP4RRL.jpg but I just did... (the Japanese voice sounds like a little girl and yet it's still a lot better than the English dub...)

I have that movie.

That is the one with that dorky girl trying to marry Sonic, right?

What the hell is with Japan, Sonic, and this "interspecies love" shit?

If Naoto Ōshima had had his way, Sonic would've had a human girl friend in the original Sonic the Hedgehog as well:

Hmm, I don't remember that though I've only seen parts of it (probably around 1/2 the movie in various pieces).

I thought that girl was the President's daughter whom Eggman (yes, Eggman) had kidnapped and was trying to marry.

The OVA is fairly mediocre, but the dub takes that, after 3 years, and converts it with some of the worst (if not the worst) voice actors to grace ANY sonic TV series or game... (Sonic X -yes, the edited 4kids dub beats in pretty much every category -animation quality, writing/plot, voice acting)

Makes for some youtube hilarity though:

Do they call him "Robotnik" in Sonic 4, or is it that Eggman nonsense?

Because only people who suffer from severe halitosis call him "Eggman".

Here it is again: (how many times have I posted this now, 4?)





I'm not sure what that pic is originally from (ie Japanese art, or one of the modified US images), but this one is one of my favorites:
(original used for JP Sonic 1 box and SMS Sonic 1 in EU and NA)

Opposed to the modified SoA art:

Sonic looks more happy go lucky on the Japanse cover. On the American one he looks a bit sneaky. And whats the deal with the Eggman/Robotnik name thing? Is it like Bowser/Koopa?

same as M. Bison, Vega, and Balrog. Which is why Sonic 4 Western version Eggman should be Dr. Robotnik.

So what do we get ..then more characters haha reminds me of the Simpson's episode with Poochie

[Rusty Venture]

Why did we need a big titty hooker bat?

WHY?

[PimpUigi]

Eye candy.
Double duh?

I still hate that he's called Eggman here now.
Totally ruined the serious plot of Sonic 2006 (while it's a terrible game it's story was actually pretty interesting)

...and I never got my merit badge (in the form of rep) for figuring the Sonic 3 cylinders out back in 1994.

But his name is and always was Eggman. He only was called 'Robotnik' in SOA's Sonic manual. They turned him into a Russian because we all know that Russians are EVIL!

Also American and European factories don't polute the planet. Only Soviet factories did.

[PimpUigi]

But the game came out in America first, didn't it?
