The 90's were a wild time. Video games were becoming adolescents, a new competitor hit the market, Nintendo was no longer King and 3D gaming was the wave of the future. Video games were no longer bound to a flat plane of existence, there's no way we would ever go back to that! Wait, no, that's wrong. This is the type of thinking that did Punky Skunk in.

When Sonic burst onto the scene it shook the gaming scene to its foundation with flashy graphics, fast paced action and infectious music. It kicked in the door of the house Nintendo helped create and made itself at home and Sega a name to be aware of. Of course a sequel would be the first thing on Sega's mind, right?

The series continues with the 8th entry in the franchise where Capcom tears up the foundation and we get back to basics of what made the series what it is.
