Sister Sonic is a cancelled role-playing video game in the Sonic the Hedgehog series.[1] Sega was to partner with Falcom, developer of the game, Popful Mail, to rework characters from the Sonic franchise into Popful Mail.[2] The game was to star Sonic the Hedgehog's long lost sister.[3][4] However, the game was ultimately cancelled in favor of releasing simply an English translation of Popful Mail in 1995.[5][6]

This looks like a conspiracy theory that a devout Sonic fan snuck into a wikipedia article to try to uncover the facts hid by Sega and Falcom.

[Sonic and the Black Knight] was de-listed in 2010, following on from Sega's decision to remove all Sonic titles with mixed Metacritic scores from retail stores in order to increase the value of the brand after positive reviews for Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I and Sonic Colors.

the sonic storyboard games were an absolute shitshow.

turns out cutting one game (2006)'s development team in half and dictating that one of the halves work on unrelated wii spinoffs just gets you a bunch of lovely half-finished games instead of one mediocre, finished one

not that any sonic game since the genesis can realistically be considered solid and bug-free...

anyway i kind of want to play ys 1 again because i'm a sadomasochist who likes First Step Towards Wars a little too much, how's the iphone port? apparently the translation in it is worse than the steam version?

IIRC other than the regular Japanese thing where they have characters with the same name and mostly similar traits but their actually in totally different periods of times or even planets or whatever, the stories aren't that connected to each other and a Ys game isn't too much about the story anyway in my experience, so the chronology don't really matter.

Just beat the first dungeon in OIF and this game is dynamite.

Am I going to have to go out of my way to fill out this character log thing? Stuff like that always triggers me if I miss the one opportunity to get an entry or w/e.

The only missables occur after the second dungeon and the third dungeon. They're not character related.
