It is worth mentioning that the description of the video provides a link to Sonic Advance Revamped. This might be the first time SEGA has officially acknowledged, even endorsed, a fanmade project.
Only if they troll with a lead-up of "Fans have been BEGGING for Adventure 3 for years! Well HERE IT IS!!!" I'd die of laughter.
Given what we know about screwy distribution rights, giving a gentle nudge towards a fan remaster is the next best thing.
So apparently Luna Alex who was Revamped's creator reached out to Katie after seeing the footage. Here's a portion of a comment he left on that video:
I mean his name even showed up on the Sonic Mania Introduction Manual under the "Additional Thanks" section of it. He even acknowledged that he was in it on Twitter much to his excitement: https://twitter.com/somecallmejon/status/889311438698934273 [https://archive.vn/AqyC3] I absolutely agree with both of you! I like the approach he makes for his videos. That game is no longer being worked on isn't it? It's been like five years at this point. It seems like the Twitter account for that game posts infrequently and the most recent one actually being from days ago (August 27): https://twitter.com/BigsFishingAdv3/status/1431410043455422470 [https://archive.vn/emyId] Here's Luna Alex's original comment in the video including the exact URL for it: /watch?v=mH1-o-5O9fo&lc=Ugxo9tYwSX0J4v_08294AaABAg Here's the full comment you quoted including the comment they responded to: /watch?v=mH1-o-5O9fo&lc=Ugxo9tYwSX0J4v_08294AaABAg.9RAMcjKAFgi9RCR9zVwmRi /watch?v=mH1-o-5O9fo&lc=Ugxo9tYwSX0J4v_08294AaABAg.9RAMcjKAFgi9RCboFUbXw6
New one out today: WWE's Xavier Woods. I miss the drawing and GHZ1 segments some of the others had, but I think this one's my favorite so far.
As a wrestling fan, I was excited to see Xavier talk about Sonic.. I hated the New Day when they first came in to the WWE but I remember watching his Sonic 2 and Sonic Mania videos (along with his yearly Madden tournaments with the other wrestlers) on his YouTube channel and that’s how I got into his content.. he has a great personality outside of the ring. This was a pleasant surprise
I really don't know who any of these people are, save for having heard of The Completionist by name a few times. Is this what being old feels like? It's too soon for me to have an existential crisis, man.
Minecraft youtuber turned Streamer I guess. I watched some of his videos back in 2013-2014 but I have not caught up with whatever he's doing now, mainly just because his content was always more aimed at the younger side - Structured videos with a formula and role play elements.
I don't recognize any of these people tbh, aside from The Completionist. Man, I'm getting old. I remember when AVGN and Nostalgia Critic were becoming popular. Good times, AVGN kinda sucks now and NC had his fair share of controversy.
Well “Father Time” has taken up James’ life nowadays but he can still put on a quality show here and there.. As far as Doug goes, I haven't really paid attention to what happened to him but I still catch his videos whenever it’s something I like. But yeah most of these people are unknowns to me except two (The Completionist and Xavier Woods).. I really hope SEGA collaborated with more well known dedicated Sonic fans (*cough* Johnny *cough*)
Yeah it does a little bit.. like I said before, I know others here will know way more about these folks than me
Other than Johnny, I think AntDude, Clement, GeekCritique and KingK all deserve to be on this. I mean, maybe KingK’s off the list because of his damning critique of Colours Ultimate, but he’s done a lot of good Sonic content imo.
