I... doubt they've sunk that kinda thought into this mess.

Even if they haven't, this is probably gonna do better than Mania did due to people buying it to mock it.

Sadly, you're right on the money...
When your vocal soundtrack for your Sonic game is titled "On the Edge" and you have a purposely edgy villain im starting to think its true.

Hey everyone, this is Dusk Golem aka AestheticGamer. I have posted on NeoGAF since 2011, and have decided to resign. I have enjoyed posting about horror games here for years, but I no longer wish to support the site and will be leaving for good. I will still be around the internet, I go by AestheticGamer on YouTube, I make games on Steam as Yai Gameworks, and I plan to go by Dusk Golem on other forums. I'll be joining an off-set of the GAF community leaving to try other ventures like ResetEra (Official Twitter for that here: https://twitter.com/reseteraforum ). I hope some of you who read this may consider it, and I plan to try to expose more people to horror games in the years to come. Just not here.
I hope you all are having a good day, and know I always loved the community, and in the end it's the community I'm going to stick with, not the site itself. If you want to follow me, my official Twitter is here: https://twitter.com/AestheticGamer1

Wait, were these dug out of a landfill somewhere?
Where do you even still find a huge horde of Sonic plushies that are wearing SOAP(tm) shoes?
Wasn't that a one-time tie-in deal for Sonic Adventure 2, so, like... 16 years ago?
Maybe the true purpose of this collaboration was to clear out a warehouse, somewhere.

This is a match made in heaven as Hooters is the Sonic of restaurants.

What the fuck?
Did they overproduce these dolls, E.T. videogame-style, 16 years ago!?

Honestly, at this point this is how I feel Sega is going about it too. I really don't have any words for how I feel about the game and its marketing other than they're trying waaaaaaaay too hard... which may or may not work out in the long run.

SA2 is one of the most popular sonic games
It introduced shadow. Its merch is probably in high demand and they have to make more from time to time. Its like reprints of like old popular comic events. It probably doesn't cost too much to make limited run plushies, and makes whatever it costs back
One, why would they do that
Two, its written by the guy who wrote sonic 06
three, people will mock sega if this game is good or b ad,
So its most likely not intentional
Here's a pic of the food I got from Twitter.
Also the coasters:
The food looks alright aside from the actual hotdog being like 3 sizes too small.

Ok but why Hooters tho? Their target audience isn't ppl who regularly dine at Hooters lol. Kind of a dumb risky marketing move for a game that is already being released at a reduced price from the get-go.
Why do you say that?

I can't get over that hot dog. Are they normally that small at Hooters? What the hell is going on with that thing?

bc Sonic games are regularly aimed towards kids. When you think of Hooters you don't really think of kids.

Honest question, what's so terrible about Hooters? Food sucks or something? ...is it Sonics fault...again?
(asking because there is supposed to be one opening here in my city for the first time and I'm contemplating to go there at least once)

From what I remember of other GAFers' comments, Japan isn't really the place to go to if you want a good selection of charcuterie/salami/wurst/etc.
Here's a pic of the food I got from Twitter.
Also the coasters:
Can you at least buy one of the plushies?

Jesus christ, I can't stop laughing at these
Pretty sure everyone in the office heard me

I wonder if the game has gone gold yet 🤔
I know they're just cases but still.

You know, considering the atmosphere of Hooters....
...something about this collaboration is just...perfect. Somehow, it makes sense.
in the most embarrassingly tone-deaf way possible.
This collaboration perfectly encapsulates literally everything wrong with Sonic Team and Sega

people were asking and talking about the plushies and those aren't the originals that were created in 2001
i found this video about it and the scenario doesnt seem to be about them overproducing the sonic plush but rather updating the original with new plushes in the same style
basically they have been updating this one plush from 2001. It was seemingly updated in 2011 for some giveaways and has been continually been made for events for the anniversary. they're brand new, mint condition plushes, seemingly made recently
