Can you believe BioWare made a DS-only Sonic RPG? That poo poo's still wild.

*glances at Mass Effect and Anthem*

.. yes. Yes I absolutely can believe that.

I mean to give Penders a small amount of credit, 2005 was one year before:



this. One could assume Sega was perfectly fine with weird melodrama poo poo in their Sonic games!

I love the opening paragraph of that interview claiming that "few people have had as big of an impact on Sonic the Hedgehog" as Penders. In America maybe? Were the Penders-era comics even widely available outside of the US? I know that was before digital sales were a thing.

None of his characters appeared in any games or cartoons while Tangle and Whisper at least got to make an appearance in a mobile game.

Hell, I didn't even know the Archie comics existed until some cover scans and one issue were included with Sonic Gems Collection or something on the Gamecube. I was very confused when I saw them, since they weren't the comics I remembered growing up with in the UK.

To be fair the Bioware Sonic game did basically file the serial numbers off his Echidna villains

It's very generous to assume Bioware was actually digging into some of the source material rather than just dusting off their standard KOTOR / Mass Effect / Dragon Age "Ancient something or other returns to cause trouble" plot and calling it a day.

I mean they had SWAT Bots and Chili Dogs so they at least did a cursory glance.
