    I like to think Mario and Sonic's relationship canonically grew out of their petty rivalry. They grew older and more mature as the years went by.

      No, because Mario and Sonic can't age. I think it grew out because Sega relied on Nintendo mainly for a game system in which they could put their Sonic games in. (After the Dreamcast) It would be awkward to still have a rivalry between the two characters when Sonic games are on the same game system as Mario

    I love the fact that sonic and Mario teamed up after getting bombed when Sony appeared. And I also love the fact that sonic has consistently been staying afloat due to just how much of a hardcore cult fanbase those early games created. Sonic and Mario need each other to stay relevant and thanks to their rivalry they basically cemented themselves into gaming history forever so neither brand will ever completely die. There will always be sonic fans and Mario fans, these two literally can’t die 😂

      I joined through the Adventure Games & felt the series downfall in the 4kids Era was hugely exaggerated. Of course the Sonic Downfall was a self fulfilling prophecy that came true the moment 2010 arrived & the series stopped trying to be good or even itself anymore. Also the video ignores just what happened on GameCube, with Nintendo fighting fiercely against both an unstoppable adversary & being able to equal the newcomer as the entire Western Game Industry went insane & was betraying them. At least now people realize just how much of an unsung masterpiece GameCube was 20 years ago.

    A sonic and mario crossover game would be absolutely revolutionary. As king as they did it right. It needs to have a good mix of development, not specifically Sega or nintendo, the quality of nintendo, the speed and music of Sega, if they mix that all together in a normal classic platformer game with at least a somewhat ok story, that would be the shit.

      That'd be a cool trailer for a cool feature.

    I guess some may call me a Mario guy, but I'm also a fan of Sonic. My first game was Sonic 1 on the Master System, but Mario was the franchise that made me a "gamer" and my favorite one up until this day.
    I guess I like both series for different, but similar reasons. Style and gameplay.
    I prefer Mario games in general, as I feel they're better designed and I like how they handle exploration a bit better. I do prefer Sonic's overall style, though (the music, set pieces and stuff).
    Had Sonic stopped at the classic era, it might come closer to Mario for me (as that's by far my favorite), but I don't know. I do love some Sonic games, but mostly the platformers only. Mario is literally the star of Super Mario and Mario Kart (my two favorite series). There's also Luigi's Mansion, the RPGs and 3D Mario is just top notch.
    I'm more in a Sonic mood since April, but I'm always going back and forth in what I'm playing. Love the two.

    Back then, I was always a Mario guy.

SEGA is still going strong today not as a video game creator, but as a publisher. Since SEGA owns Atlus, they own the Persona and SMT franchises, which are super big in their own rights. And ofc, they own the Yakuza series, another big hit. Nintendo is still the giant they still are though, the Switch asserting its dominance with it being hard to find PS5's. Plus, the uniqueness of playing a console game on the go is revolutionary, even today. I will definitely, these two companies will stay relevant for a very long time

    These two characters have truly changed the gaming market. The rival he is the best on the planet, I am so happy to see these two characters eventually getting along. But one thing we need to revive them, to make them go to their former glory, it’s a crossover game. Not like the Olympic games, or the cameos, we need like,a true Mario and Sonic game. Like, for example, somehow egg man uses the chaos emeralds to transport sonic and tails to another dimension, that dimension being Mario’s dimension. And they have to find a way to gather all the chaos emeralds in the beat egg man, who teamed up with Bowser. That would be really cool. I guarantee you with that if they gave them a
    crossover game such as the one I just described, it could possibly be the highest grossing video game of all time. Anyway, thank you so much for this video. I genuinely got emotional, and I am so glad to see these two characters I love going back to their former glory. I am positive that, slowly but surely, these characters will dominate the gaming market once again, and when that happens, I can die happy man 😌

    Definitely the Olympic Games were my breaking point to be in love not only with the series but also those two as best friends. I've used to be a HUGE Mario fan more than Sonic even when I've played some Sonic games back in the day (Sonic 2, SA2, etc...) yet, when I've started to play more and more Sonic (Sonic Unleashed) I've started to fall for the Blue Blur himself and then started to day dream about Mario and Sonic being besties and equals in many ways, then the Olympics Games happened and then my love for both became an unhealthy obsession for seeing more Mario and Sonic sharing games.
    Nowadays, I'm the CEO of #TeamMarionic aka Mario and Sonic's duo name whenever they're together as a team, working together, being dorks and doing goofs together. I love their bromance a ton, and I definitely see them as best friends/bros no matter what Nintendo or Sega do. I even created a community where everyone shares their love for the plumber and the hedgehog being good friends with some cute rivalry for fun.
    I wish besides the TOGs (The Olympics Games) we could have either an RPG or a platformer with both. It would be amazing.

    I dont really think Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games is Sega’s desperate act, but Nintendo’s pity that their all time rival is about to reach to its end after Sonic 06 happened, to the point where fans have absolute NO faith on Sega since that chaotic moment.
    Nintendo gave Sega another chance to get back in the spotlight, and I think at that point is where Sega has truly respect Nintendo and sees them as friendly rivals without having to punch it in the gut.
    Nintendo was pretty much merciful.
    And to add more positivity, Nintendo was gonna introduce Sonic as the first non Nintendo character in Super Smash Bros Melee, but thats been scrapped off and instead have him in Brawl.
    Nintendo has always respected Sega even back then, just tend to give jabs after taken some from Sega.
    Like brothers who would fight but in the end are in good terms as they show to care for each other.

      You should read The Untold History of Japanese Game Developers. Seems "a certain rival of Nintendo" went to the process of getting the Yakuza kidnap a Jap dev's sibling to prevent them from working with Nintendo.
      It's not far fetched: a lot of Jap arcade game developers had to cooperate with the Yakuza as they run the gambling and arcade areas of Japan.

    Yeah, I missed the times in the '90s in the Console Wars when Mario, Sonic, and especially their SNES/Genesis consoles competed so intensely to create the greatest gaming generation and lasted throughout the decade.
    It calmed down in the Gamecube era, but AS SOON Mario and Sonic and Olympic Games came out on the Wii, I was SHOCKED. That was something I never thought would happen. It's crazy Mario and Sonic are friends now. I guess Nintendo and Sega grew tired of them going at each other so hard.

    Seeing Mario and Sonic come together in a video game was the equivalent of seeing Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny together in Who Framed Roger Rabbit?!
    Although, speaking of Mickey, it’s surprising Mario hasn’t gotten a chance to cross over with him and his universe. Seeing the relationship between Disney and Nintendo throughout the decades would be fascinating, from the licensed Disney Hanafuda cards to Sora from Kingdom Hearts being included in Smash Bros.

    I love how Sonic was made to be better than Mario in every way, But being better or not, Sonic wouldn't exist if it weren't for Mario. Just think about it:
    Is Mario slow? Sonic no, Do goombas frustrate you for being simple? There you have the motobugs, Is Mario too childish for you? Sonic was promoted as the game of the coolest and most adolescent children, also, Sonic blue color is for two reasons:
    1.- It is the opposite of Mario's red
    2.- It is the world's favorite color, so more acceptance
    And this just made Mario's standards even better! That as a consequence it also raised Sonic's standards, if you ask me it's one of the healthiest rivalries currently!

Tbh, I played the DS version when I was younger and when I learned this could've happened, I couldn't help but be intrigued that it was genuinely possible.

Then I have played the Winter Olympic Games for both Wii and DS, London Olympic Games for Wii, Rio Olympic Games for 3DS, and Tokyo Olympic Games for Switch. I mostly played Mario games and only played 2 Sonic games, which are Sonic Colors and Sonic Riders Zero Gravity for the Wii. I love their relationship as well and all of their characters are cool. Both of their games grew on me, especially Mario games.

    11:36 Nah, I'd argue the opposite Sega going 3rd party and Sonic going multi plat was one of the worst things to happen to them both.
    Multiple platforms doesn't automatically mean more sales (The Wonderful 101 says hi) and going 3rd party means there is less incentive to make your games higher quality.
    When you're a platform holder your 1st party games can't just be alright they have to be so good that people will also get your hardware just to play them, there is also the correlation of Sonic games arguably getting worse ever since Sega went 3rd party.
    For the Industry as a whole, less platforms means less competition as well.

    • @KazShiro
      @KazShiro 2 роки тому +1

      True though considering how the impact the ps2 made and how bad the GC got beat it would've been better than trying keep the Dreamcast going. Reason being is that outside of Sonic Adventure 2 which had a hellish development process but not as bad as Sonic Adventure 1 which was kinda a "do or die" situation most of the funds were going towards Phantasy Star Online which's servers (on japans side) was being paid out of the Sega Presidents pockets before he died. For ambitious as Sega is, they werent really that good on making good decisions and despite getting it right with the Dreamcast it was far too late. So even if they didn't go multiplatform at least up until the ps3/360/wii era they possibly wouldve been bankrupt by then due to low trust from consumers and Sony's influence(and thats not going over the impact GTA 3 had over the entire demographic even though Shenmue technically went into that territory). So in this case it was for the best they did step out of the console.
