What Sega should learn from Sonic’s worst games

Look, Sega. I’m not here to tell you how to save Sonic.

The truth is, despite my love for a series that I grew up with (I used to sleep with a Sonic the Hedgehog doll), I’m not a marketing wizard. I’m not even a game designer. I’m just a journalist with lots of nostalgia and a bit of anger. How could you have let Sonic fall so far? The latest games in the series, Sonic Boom on the Wii U and 3DS, only sold a meager 490,000 copies combined. That’s a new low for the franchise.
