No it dosen't, he's a man who is shaped like an egg, so Eggman is a very reasonable name... Besides, his official name is still "Ivo Robotnik" but ever since Sonic and pals started using the insult "Eggman" he has begun using it as his nickname.

Plus he was always refered to as "Eggman" in Japan, most people there have never heard the name "Robotnik".

It just doesn't sound very evil.

Ah well, Metallix > Eggman

[boo boo]

Those weird plant monsters from Sonic X?

Me don't think so.


Dr. Eggman is very much evil, he turns bunnies into robots, not even KFC can top that kind of animal cruelty.

[Mr Sensitive]

This guy.

[boo boo]

I was thinking Meterex, my bad.

But his name is Metal Sonic.

Though there is a group of robots called Metalix in Archie comics, I guess thats what you're refering to.

[Mr Sensitive]

Yeah that's it.

Ah remember Mecha Sonic from Sonic and Knuckles? You fight him as the last boss if you play as Knuckles.

[boo boo]

I know, and he would turn into Super Mecha Sonic to make matters worse, he wasn't too hard once you got the hang of it though.

The hard part is actually trying to get that far in the game as Knuckles, Ice Cap Zone is hard as balls when playing as Knuckles.

[Mr Sensitive]

Playing as Knuckles is tough. He couldn't jump as high as Sonic.

[boo boo]

I know, in some cases Robotnik (I still like to call him that) is barely even reachable.

It was actually a promising start for the series in a 3D environment which unfortunately didn't carry on to later games like it should have.

Sonic next gen was a disapointment, but I have high hopes for Sonic & The Secret Rings which will be coming out for the Wii this March... Indeed the series needs more "juice" (as Sonic himself would put it) and I think if Sonic Team were to bring in some new blood that would do the trick, since there are some fresh faces working on S&TSR hopefully we will see some major improvements, the game itself looks like it will be a great change of pace for the series, perhaps it will be the "real" reinvention of the series that Sonic next gen promised it was going to be but didn't live up to that title.

The 2D games will always reign supreme, even newer ones like Sonic Rush, which mixs 2D and 3D together in a rather creative way.

Overall the 3D games lack the magic of the 16-bit originals, but they are far from bad, all they need is some improvement, and Sonic would fare in a 3D environment perfectly.

Ethan, if you want to play the old school games (and since you're a Gamecube owner) then you should get Sonic Mega Collection and Sonic Gems Collection, the latter is worth it for Sonic CD alone.

yeah i own the two your talking about, sonic adventure and sonic adventure 2.

but you gotta admit playing as knuckles and listning to the corney rap tunes in the background was lame in both of them.

and playing as "big the cat" fishing adventure was just stupid...

sonic and the secret rings definitly looks to improve..but then again thats what people thought with sonic heroes...

but im more of a nintendo fan then sega....

shigeru miyamoto has proven that he can hold up to todays modern audience far better then sonic team..
