"The History of Sonic the Hedgehog"

Beloved Mascot or Best Forgotten?

Sonic the Hedgehog is undoubtedly one of the most beloved video game franchises. In 2016, the series celebrated its 25th anniversary, but the Sonic era is far from over. The blue hedgehog is more relevant than ever with not one, but two new games on the horizon. Sonic Mania and Sonic Forces are scheduled for release in late 2017, and the fandom is buzzing.

To date, the franchise has collectively sold over 140 million copies, with some of its games considered the best of all time and others… the worst. In its quarter-century-long existence, Sonic has had many ups and downs, which made many fans turn on the franchise.
