Well Sonic Mania was more like okay well fine decent average mediocre cash for Sega still too far from perfection. Definitely unfortunately speaking not perfect more like imperfect. Honestly speaking.

Or I could as well prevent even Sega/Mega CD,Sega 32X,Sega Dreamcast Eras as well.
Sega's thinking after the Genesis was so "cart-before-the-horse." Without getting into the Sega CD, 32X, or Saturn, the Dreamcast seemed like a return to form. A fully-3D Sonic game, state of the art graphics, good word of mouth, the Dreamcast was on decent footing. Was it the PS2 sporting DVD playback and tons of third party support? Was it the upcoming Xbox, which would have split the market in four directions? Were the sales not hitting targets? I'll always wonder.

Even the Xbox 360 was considered behind the times compared to the PS3's blu-ray capabilities, but the 360 did very well that generation. I still wonder what would have happened if Sega stepped up their game and continued to compete.

I wonder what would it be if Sega could be still first party company? Instead of Sonic X,Sonic Boom,Sonic Prime average mediocre TV cartoons maybe there could be something like Pokémon ? Maybe something like Digimon or something else before Palworld was made. Maybe something like F-Zero anime. I guess that maybe Phantasy Star would be EarthBound alternative. Who knows one thing is for sure maybe Ristar could be alternative of Kirby. Ristar didn’t have potential for anime likewise Kirby. Landstalker never had a TV cartoon. Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog wasn’t looking like talk show like in case of Super Mario Bros. Super Show. Sega never made even Captain S TV Cartoon. I bet that Landstalker would still compete with The Legend of Zelda.

maybe now, they finally remembered how much money banking on nostalgia does. and now that the dev teams are getting more $ they can do more things. heck, the dev teams can and have been employing fans that get what directions sega games can go. and their trying to get back in the cultural zeitgeist worldwide, after a while of their rep being "half baked cringe ass games, but man sonic is cool."

idk, im just rambling. RGG & altus are under them too, so 3 stylish game companies known for banger OSTs and fun art direction is giving them good favor for rpg and arcade liking gamers. its just keeping momentum that was hard.

I guess that if someone isn’t expert, isn’t professional with computer games/video games programming of such person gonna keep despising third party Sega in case of remastering Sega classics in that case.

Well, isn't this a good thing? At least Sega is nothing like Capcom, who is leaving Mega Man behind, or Ubisoft, who doesn't give a shit about Rayman nowadays.
Megaman 11 was made in Unreal Engine 4. I even played official Android port of Rayman 1.

Sure, we got Mega Man 11 six years ago, but they don't focus on this franchise as much as they used to.

And as for Ubisoft, when will the next Rayman game come out? Not soon.
Rayman 2 got more remastered ports including Rayman Raving Rabidds than Rayman 3.
