No break for Nack/Fang to come back?

Make it a treasure-hunting game a la WarioLand and I'd probably buy multiple copies.

 

That.. That's actually GENIUS.

Nack as the main character; Rouge as the villain? Or a team up perhaps?

I could actually see this as a cross between a Sonic game and somewhat a Mario game of sorts, with more platforming techniques. We need more spin offs that don't include the Blue Blur. (our last one was what, Tails Adventure?)

 

If this Retro thing kicks off, I wanna see Retro vs. Modern a la Marvel vs. DC.

Anyway,s why not just have Fang kill Rouge? Ge's obviously the better character.

 

*cough* Shadow the Hedgehog *cough*

But last 'good one', Tails Adventure, yes.

Also, as an interesting note, in the Archie continuity, Nack's sister, Nic, had dealings with Rouge during the comic, notably during treasure hunting.

 

The 8" Wolf figure looks like Nack on steroids. He would make an interesting boss.

 

Oh dear GOD!!!
I just realized, they're gonna pull a Charmy on Fang and make him like a toddler!
look at the logic:
(Main character) Sonic - Shadow
(Obligatory female) Amy Rose- Rouge
(Hero's Buff Guy) Knuckles - Omega
(Kid sidekick) Tails - ....

If they re-introduce Fang he'll be a little kid!
Or even worse, we're getting an emo Tails next 3D sonic game!

Either that or Fang, Bark and Bean will form an evil equivalent of the chaotix.

 

Oh no Oshima doesn't work for Sega anymore!
They can't use Sonic or Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik never again!

That's bull.
Sega owns the character, if wasn't the case he wouldn't appear on the comics and they couldn't even re-release Triple Trouble, Tails Adventures, etc...
If they want, they can.

 

At this point, where does Knuckles fit?

But whatever, I barely know Nack/Fang but I do prefer his design over Rouge's. Guess slapping breasts on a bat doesn't help for me. :v:

 

Where does he fit? Jeez, it wasn't that difficult to make him fit in Triple Trouble...

 

Personally I think a lot of fans would cheer.

I do get what you mean however, that said I don't want him to be quite on the same league as the Team Rocket, Looney Tunes rogue list, who get their schtick from being completely pitiful and sympathetic. I think these villains, while likeable characters, sometimes take the concept too far in that with a villain that's little to no threat whatsoever the heroes don't come off as sympathetic and look like they are 'bullying' them for the sake of them being there (Out of Wile and Road Runner you can tell who is supposed to be the most sympathetic). I do agree Fang should be bumbling and comical but I think he should still be a threat to an extent, then again they have a hard time making even Eggman seem like this.

As said I think the Archie version was a nice mix, he is a comical minor villain but still slightly sinister and fearsome, he has actually captured Sonic a few odd occasions and has basically issued a death warrant on Sally for a somewhat humiliating defeat before. Fang is what we call evilly affable, a 'likeable scumbag' I guess.

 

I have a Nack Pog in my wallet from the 90s. It's the only one I held onto (no idea where all the others are), which has to say something. I too love his comedic shenanigans in Sonic Triple Trouble. Don't forget that he was also a racer in Sonic Drift 2

And he's a cheap son of a bitch in Sonic the Fighters.

 

Holy shit, imagine a Sonic/Mario Crossover with Wario and Fang in the storyline. I can see them thieving each other already! :v:

 

I'd much rather have Fang a recurring character character than Rouge, he has much more charm and appeal than her. Just like Shadow, I think Rouge overstayed her welcome after SA2 and it really didn't help when they switched to the 4kids cast (she sounds much to old for a teenage character).

Though like others have pointed out -
Fang = Bounty hunter
Rouge = Jewel thief/Government agent

Why couldn't they coexist if need be?

 

Just for the record, my idea was more along the lines of Knuckles getting his own game, but I suppose Nack could work as a more land-based character.

 

From what I know a Big Lipped Alligator moment is just a segment that has little relevance to the rest of the story and is largely random and non sensical.

There certainly some bosses in comical games that you wonder what the hell is going on, they also have a tendancy to use classical music as themes for true Looney Tunes effect.

Well I could certainly see Bean working around this (imagines him break into a number with Bomb from Chaotix and Sonic 1, someone here needs to make a game with a crazy Bean boss!!). Fang however perhaps not, unless he perhaps 'Mickey Mouses' to some grunge metal as he hunts his prey. lol

 

Who knows what they would do with those characters personality-wise? I like what the comic has done with them, considering characters like Bean and Bark were one shots and they've been fleshed out pretty nicely, but would they be the same way in newer games? I'm sure Sega doesn't have any restrictions on picking and choosing elements from the comic, since they own the rights to all of it. Maybe if the fan base associates the comic personalities enough they would if they were to make a come back.
