Has there ever been a more mishandled franchise than sonic the hedgehog?

Valkyria Chronicles

Banjo.
Starfox.
Donkey Kong.
Crash.
Spyro.
Warcraft.

Ask that to Capcom and Konami.

Paper Mario

>Donkey Kong.
Donkey Kong has literally only had one bad game, and even then it's iconic.

i don't consider changing the entirety of the series in order to get it to sell to be good management

Paper Mario, because watching what it has become is genuinely hard to look at. Sonic at it's worst is at least funny

At least Sonic isn't 50% just remakes of the same game.

Literally everything Level 5 has ever made, Inazuma Eleven Ares was meant to be out like 3 years ago to tie in to the (at the time) new anime, it still isn't out, the sequel to that anime has already ended prematurely and the game has been completely renamed and no longer references Ares in the title.
Yokai Watch isn't much better, they struck pure gold then immediately started churning out sequels way too fast and caused everyone to lose interest.
SwSh is literally worse than Sonic 06, the literal only thing a Pokémon game has to do to be accepted by the overall fanbase is include all the Pokémon, and they wouldn't even do that. There's excuses for Sonic 06, SwSh is inexcusable.

Do you sonic faggots need to make the same thread every couple of hours?

Mario Party. It has literally only gotten worse. There have been 8 Mario Party games since 3 and they all suck cock.

Which one?

Its just /sthg/ spamming threads to get away from /vg/ making threads like "Lol Sonichads" and spamming memes or samefagging each other. Sonic should've been given the MLP treatment or Homestuck at the very least.

A whole bunch of franchises, including I think the biggest downspiral of a hit mascot ever Earthworm Jim. Sonic honestly has it pretty good with Sonic fans becoming professionals and doing the work for Sega.

>Makes more money than ever
>Mishandled
AAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHHAHA please never work in the video game industry

Star Fox 64 was lightning in a bottle, it will never be replicated. Let the series stay in the past and be known for its trailblazing in the 90s and for having Fox and Falco be synonymous with competitive Smash.

It's actually less than the same old shit because GF keeps stripping away features.

>Pokemon, the biggest media franchise in the world that's making more money than ever
>as mishandled as Sonic, a franchise that's on fucking life support and was, and in some ways still is, the laughingstock of the internet
Is Yas Forums really this fucking delusional?

Metal arms a glitch in the system, when the team was brought on they had a deal of making the game and so the publisher didn't pay attention to the game, near the end of development they saw the game and thought it was really good so they gave it a much larger advertising budget but it was too late and a fantastic game was ignored since people didn't know much about it, still seething at the ending.

Things aren't meant to last forever. If money is fueling its continuation, then creativity and vision is always secondary.

They've been releasing a game every year for the past decade, only skipping 2015.

That should tell you a whole lot.

Stay seething, assfaggot. There will always be Sonic threads on Yas Forums

a laughing stock, sure, but the movie and mania did really well.
