You Can Win These Horrifying Sonic 2 Controllers from Xbox

No, thank you. If I wanted something fuzzy or furry to hold in my hands, I have plenty of Build-A-Bear plushes, even Risa from the Honey Girls. Her ears are fluffy. Maybe get Red Panda Mei from Turning Red.

Why in the world would they want to make furry controllers in the first place?

XD Because as we've seen thus far, Paramount's advertising campaign for this movie has been ENTIRELY tactful. Absolutely no trash-tier grasps at virality up in here.

I’ve lost track of all the xbox variations but I guess it’s safe to assume this one can play Unleashed. And maybe once Sega sees the light Sonic 06 could join in too. I gotta enter, man. Those are the only Sonic games I’ve yet to play and desperately want to.

It’s generally supposed to play everything the Series X can, but just not at full settings. Also Microsoft has effectively said they’ve done the extent of what they’re going to do for backwards compat, so it’s VERY unlikely that they would add Sonic 06 to backwards compatibility. No corporate entity with rights to that game actually wants you to play it because it’s a broken mess that was an embarrassment to the company but not so much that they were willing to simply cancel it or make significant delays.

Yeah, I’m good, thanks.

I’m sure someone would have loved a stylish Sonic and Knuckles themed Xbox. This is not that Xbox.

Such a Cheap and lazy design? These don’t really say anything about Sonic or Knuckles specifically. Totally wasted opportunity to design something really cool.

Couldn’t they have just given out a free Sonic 2 themed Xbox instead…

A Sonic 2 themed Xbox Series S WITHOUT two muppet torsos fished out of the Henson studio dumpsters wouldn’t have gotten the undeserved attention that we are sadly giving it right now.

Those things are gonna be super gross after a month.

"No corporate entity with rights to that game actually wants you to play it"

You say that, yet it's currently available in Japan through PlayStation Now. 

Another example, people like to say Sega wants to forget 2005's Shadow, but again, it was made available on PS3 in Japan. 

Not to mention that Unleashed was originally blacklisted over a decade ago, along with a bunch of other Sonic games that had a low metacritic score. And yet now it's available again. 

I guess my point is, things can change. It may not become backwards compatible through Microsoft's program, but a rerelease could happen... maybe.

Yeah, these things are definitely "Keep in the box" collectors' items. Can't imagine actually using them.

Sonic is more strictly managed in the West than in Japan because, by all accounts, Sonic doesn’t have a particularly strong fanbase in Japan.

These things are definitely "Return them back to the crimson forges of hell from which they were spawned."
