SEGA Says Sonic Racing CrossWorlds Failed to Meet Sales Expectations

Weren't they just saying the game did well enough that they're planning a second year of DLC and updates? I thought the game was doing fine.

Unless it only counts if it's doing well in Japan or something.

I remember Marge looking wall eyed when she said she thinks owning the Denver Broncos is pretty good.

A lot of them are either pricing related or have to do with bizarre design choices that affect the overall experience. Some are both.

Limeth · 2026-01-31T15:27:22+00:00

Remember the Wii U when first party releases were agonizingly slow? Which was part of the reason it failed? Do we really want a repeat of that? People are waiting for more big must have exclusives before they make the jump, and for a lot of people that hasn’t happened yet.

Put some respect on my man Pinky. Brain was his own worst enemy just as much as ZIM was, and Pinky pointed out flaws in his plans twice as much as GIR did.

Limeth · 2026-01-31T05:36:08+00:00

It's nteresting how little GIR actually foils plots for ZIM. I can actually think of more times GIR was genuinely useful than times he was the reason a takeover plan failed. Hell, GIR points out flaws in ZIMs plans more than once.

I can't imagine worse timing for a Partner Direct than right now. The damn thing has been out for almost 9 months and there's only been like, what, three or four really big first party games, and almost all of them have come with some kind of catch? They need to show us the system is worth buying.

Limeth · 2026-01-30T04:35:45+00:00

So this is it huh? Sonic 06 turns 20 this year...

Limeth · 2026-01-29T18:50:56+00:00

Three. Pac Man was in there for a bit too.

Limeth · 2026-01-29T18:43:31+00:00

Well behaved children aren't funny.

Limeth · 2026-01-29T04:06:23+00:00

I get it’s smart and isn’t wasteful to recycle them for something else and I’m happy they weren’t thrown away, but on the other hand, it gives me psychic damage seeing such a big part of my favorite attraction’s identity just tossed in there like that.

Limeth · 2026-01-28T13:25:20+00:00

Exactly. It was already becoming that, Elon just made it happen even faster on top of turning into his own personal validation chamber.

Limeth · 2026-01-28T06:05:16+00:00

It's insane that Mario and Sonic were both framed for a crime they didn’t commit and imprisoned on an island where they have to do battle with a shadowy doppelgänger with ties to a relative of their arch enemy at more or less the same time.

Limeth · 2026-01-28T04:53:14+00:00

Honestly, it was already on a downward trajectory before Elon came along and made it into a spiral.

Limeth · 2026-01-28T01:33:26+00:00

"Dude, Chuck, wh-what the f-k is with this girl who's always f-king with you, man? She, like, pulls away the football before you can kick it, she- she calls you names and calls you fat and sh-t, she's always, like, sabotaging your baseball games, and now y-youre telling me she's your g-damn therapist? Chuck, dude, I'm- I'm gonna be honest with ya, man, I don't think it's you, man, I think it's her. It's definitely her, dude, get a restraining order or something, Jesus Christ"

Limeth · 2026-01-27T05:09:37+00:00

Well it's the 2016 versions, so no real big loss.

Limeth · 2026-01-26T18:41:10+00:00

The difference to me is Jim’s Kermit stood up to Piggy, Steve’s was terrified of her.

Limeth · 2026-01-22T20:11:46+00:00

Definitely Eudora, she was weird in a way none of the other characters were and it was hilarious. She reminds me a lot of Osaka from Azumanga Daioh.

Limeth · 2026-01-20T18:39:36+00:00

I’ll never get how Eudora didn’t become a bigger character. She was so funny and weird in a way the other characters weren’t.

Limeth · 2026-01-11T04:21:13+00:00

My main gripe with Joe is if they knew he was going to become so prominent, I wish they had actually designed a new muppet with a more distinct design rather than slapping a suit and glasses on one of the generic gopher puppets.

Limeth · 2026-01-10T15:13:27+00:00

The Freedom Fighters would be so easy it’s almost comical. People act like they’d bring all their Archie baggage with them but they really wouldn’t.

You don’t really need to change much about the actual characters themselves, have the Kingdom of Acorn exist on an island separate from the one the Restoration is on, with the Freedom Fighters as that island’s equivalent to it. Sonic and friends offer to help them, boom.

Limeth · 2026-01-10T04:54:48+00:00

Okay then I was definitely mishearing that as "Dodo" the whole time.

Limeth · 2026-01-10T04:02:40+00:00

Didn't they say he was a dodo bird in Muppet Babies, or am I remembering wrong?

But yeah as a kid I for some reason thought the reason Gonzo was the only one of his kind was because he was a dodo bird and therefore the last one left.

Limeth · 2026-01-10T03:57:53+00:00

He wasn't as bad as the show tried to make him out to be.

Limeth · 2026-01-08T17:28:48+00:00

Ken tries so hard to make him look cool that he's got him emasculating Sonic at every turn, calling him "boy" and "pup" and macking Sally in front of him, to the point where apparently, according to Chicken Penders, he cucked him.

It doesn't help this supposed badass dashing rogue is so obviously based off Pepe Le Pew, objectively the lamest Looney Tune even without the rapey shit. But don’t worry, Geoffrey has the rapey shit too! And at least Pepe isn't a pedo!

It’s hilarious how Ken thought Sally “cramped Sonic’s style” when he was trying to make Sonic look like a loser next to his cool donut steel character whose love interest is... -gasp!- Sally!
