    To Be This Good - An Alternate History of SEGA, Sonic the Hedgehog, and the Console Wars
    Threadmarks: Introduction, Initial PoD, & Prologue

    So, I have decided to write an interesting TL where Nintendo never releases the N. E. S. as Donkey Kong doesn't exist, Miyamoto joins SEGA but also serves as a Mangaka for them for a couple of years as well, SoA remains the main holding of SEGA instead of SoJ, SEGA takes control of the Home...

    Blue Blur Speeds by Nintendo: Sonic Team Joins Nintendo

    It was simple enough. Beat Nintendo to the punch and release a new gaming console that captivated audiences with its 16-bit hardware. Everything was going smoothly until NEC decided to release their console on the scene in 1988 called the Turbo-Graphx16. Most of the game companies joined in...

    Benji the Hedgehog is a well-known video game character and the official mascot for Atari. This iconic character was first introduced in 1991 and has since captured the hearts of gamers worldwide.

  4. Effects of a continued collaboration between Michael Jackson and SEGA?

    Michael Jackson was a Sonic fan and collaborated with SEGA in the 90s, with the making of his own videogame, Moonwalker. MJ was also working on the soundtrack of Sonic 3 up until 1993 when the child abuse allegations popped up. But what if, in a world where the accusations never happened, this...

    Pop Culture History Question: Sega-Microsoft partnership, pros/cons, et cetera?

    As a fan of EternalMadness1997's "The SEGA Generation" story, and a PlayStation child growing up, I absolutely love the thought of a Sega/Sony partnership. However, after remembering the story that Sega Chairman Isao Okawa had approached Microsoft with the idea of making Dreamcast games...
  6. AHC: Give Sonic the Hedgehog a stronger gameography

    It's probably not at all controversial to say that Sonic the Hedgehog has had a pretty rough time of it since Sega left the console market. That's not to say every game he's been in from 2002 on has been bad, but the blue blur's definitely had a lot of rough patches, with plenty of his games...

    WI: Sonic '06 killed the Sonic franchise

    I'm sure that we all know Sonic the Hedgehog 2006. Known for it's glitches, long loading times and a romantic relationship between a hedgehog and a human princess, Sonic '06 caused significant damage to the franchise's reputation, and has painted Sonic as a laughing stock in the eyes of game...

    AHC: Make Alex Kidd the Mascot of Sega

    AHC/WI: Sega took Nintendo's place in the 80's

    Okay, so back around the start of this year, I came up with a idea for a TL where the NES failed, causing Nintendo to stick to just cards and Sega to take Nintendo's place. I soon scrapped it for other TL ideas, but here's the question. What if Sega took Nintendo's place as a big video game...

    WI: Yuji Naka worked on Sonic CD instead of Sonic 2

    We all know about Sonic CD and Sonic 2, two games released in the early 90's that are often called one of the best Sonic games. However, Yuji Naka wasn't involved in the development of Sonic CD, due to him moving with several members of Sonic Team to the United States to develop Sonic 2 with...

    AHC: Make Sonic more popular in Japan

    We all know that the popular video game franchise Sonic originated from Japan. However, despite being born in Japan, Sonic games have poor sales over there, for example, Sonic 2 selling 160,000 units in Japan and Sonic Colours selling 10,000 units in Japan. Sonic also has a sizeable fanbase over...

    DBWI: Sonic X had human characters

    Since the Sonic X anime had anthropomorphic animals in place of the human characters that live in Station Square, I heard that this show was originally going to have human characters, but Sega turned it down because based on the way they look, they don't really like the eyes, same applies to the...

    A Sonic the Hedgehog What-If Thing

    I have something to say. Did you know that Sega actually wanted Shadow the Hedgehog to stay dead after the ending of Sonic Adventure 2? Yeah, Sega actually had that idea in mind, but due to the fan service around Shadow the Hedgehog, Sega decided that they should keep Shadow in for the rest of...

    Threadmarks: Console Wars

    "Some of the world's greatest ideas come out of rivalry. For every Coke, there's a Pepsi. For every Edison, there's a Tesla. This holds true with video games, and I don't know where we'd be today if Sonic the Hedgehog hadn't spindashed out of the blue and into our hearts all those years ago in...
