ALL CANCELED SONIC PROJECTS ( Directors Cut ) [ full deep dive ]

Gotta love how Big Red Button gets tasked with redesigning Sonic and their first idea was "let's do Crash Bandicoot." Then when SEGA shot that down, their next idea was "OK, let's just do Sonic again."

Sonic 4 Saturn: gets cancelled Sonic 4 EP 1 & 2: I'M STILL LIVIN'!

Even if you somehow missed one or two projects, I don't think it matters. This is easily the most comprehensive collection of cancelled Sonic projects out there on Youtube. You should be extremely proud! Fantastic job!

Sonic Mars 32x "demo gameplay" is actually a mock-up made on Amiga computer by Chris Senn. No actual playable prototype was ever made.

If I had a nickel for every canceled sonic game thats name was sonic extreme, I would have three nickels, but it’s weird that it happened three times

Dude, I took too many spindash worths of salt, I have an entire factory now.

My headcannon is that the word "Extreme" and its variations is a FORBIDDEN word for any future Sonic title. As if the idea of putting "Extreme" in the title is an omen for it to be cancelled later on. A curse, if you will.

Nitrome took Sonic day and made into Leap Day which is a really fun game even without sonic in it. I used to play Leap a day quite consistently back then and if I knew the game was originally a sonic game I would have been blown away.

Sega is a company defined on its bad decisions

You could honestly do a whole video on canceled archie sonic projects alone from all the different stories that didn't see print and never will. great work on this redux btw

With Sonic X, technically the original pitch was “canceled” since it was shown to take place on Mobius (or “Sonic’s World” as it was called in the anime) due to the population of Station Square having anthro characters. Most of the pilot was reused in the Sonic X Japanese opening “Sonic Drive.” Of course the main thing people remember about this pilot was the radical redesign of Super Sonic which became the infamous Nazo character which of course was reimagined as the main antagonist in ChakraX’s The Power of Nazo and Nazo Unleashed fan films as well as the canceled sequel Wrath of Nazo.

This is probably one of the best Sonic related videos I have ever watched. I was so surprised to hear and find out there was canceled Sonic stuff I had never known about before.

This video needs more people to see it, the length, the editing, and all the effort that went into this needs to be appreciated

3:30 Sonic Origins being the better way to play Sonic 3 & Knuckles when compared to Sonic 3 Complete is debatable.

This is an insane amount of effort. I hope this blows up!

very good video, I didnt expect this quality from such a small channel, you should have alot more subscribers

Great job with the video! Just a fun fact, you actually missed a cancelled Sonic game but I dont blame you. This game is called Sonic and the Level Creator. This game had a Sonic Official Level Maker that used Sonic 1 assets and even had an exclusive Zone 7 added to it that seemed more a Sonic CD zone in terms of style with a Sonic 4 theme song. You can search it on Youtube to get more information :) Either way great job with the video!

Getting major nostalgia for these unreleased games and shows 😅😂 Amazing video, love your enthusiasm!

I rarely ever comment but I have to give you your props. This was fascinating!

I rarely share stuff with friends but this is so high-effort and thorough it deserves it
