Who even gave a shit about this franchise? Worst crossover ever.
@xianc78 I remember when the very first one for Beijing 2008 came out and the novelty was still fresh (this was before Smash Bros. Brawl for context), and even then everyone acknowledged it sucked.
@Indigo I never played any of the games outside of a demo for one of the winter games on DS back when you can download DS demos through the Wii. I never saw it as a big deal. I was only three years old when the Dreamcast was discontinued and we never owned any Sega consoles, so seeing Mario and Sonic together like this didn't make a big impact for me.
@xianc78 That's fair, the whole "Sonic vs. Mario," conversation was already well past its stage of relevancy by the time 2007 rolled around, Sonic games had already been multiplatform for a long time at that point.
Hell, I'm going to be 30 in two months and I'm barely old enough to remember the Sega/Nintendo rivalry.
It was mostly for the Gen Xers who grew up in the 80's that the novelty worked for. Console wars in general just weren't really much of a thing past gen 6, so I can't really see the appeal in a modern context.

Disney is no stranger to crossovers either, after all.
