@Sonikku Master: Yep! I like both Sonic and Nintendo. And when I began to use the name “werehog” I didn’t know everyone would hate him! It was before Sonic Unleashed you know…

@Werehog: You love Nintendo but you call yourself ‘Werehog,’ meaning you must like Sonic… and a character that is hated by 90% of the Sonic fanbase. ???

Actually, never mind.

That would have been worse than Apple’s patent on multi-touch screens

And that’s why the concept of patenting something is retarded.

A more interesting thought comes out of this silliness, what if Sonic DIDN’T jump? What if it was all the physics of the old games and you only could get to higher platforms by ramping up? That would be a pretty interesting concept.

that is a bit. . . insane yeah but also kinda funny!

Maybe Yuji Naka had the same idea but with running/rolling after Sonic 1 came out =P

@ ■Tristan Oliver
Agreed. Bigwigs can do anything they want if they have the paper work.

About the article glad Miyamoto lost this case. If he was joking way to go. Almost gave me a heart attack.
