I'm all in on recompilation. Playing Majora's Mask and OOT on my computer with major QOLs, widescreen and high framerates beats emulation and original hardware any day, IMO. MVG is pretty great though. Makes a lot of good videos and I found out about the recompilation stuff because of him. He is also a huge proponent of game preservation.
@Aerona That's the one thing that keeps it plausible to me, however unlikely. I don't trust them after the stick drift fiasco. I gave up trying to fix them after awhile and just started replacing my controllers.
Now I kinda like the idea of a more grown up oriented Sonic the Hedgehog game. Maybe they are all a bit older and maybe the world has gone to crap because a new villain showed up that was more successful than Robotnik.
... Or they could just be renewing their trademark which companies need to do to maintain them? Reading into this too much I think. As much as I love the series, I don't think a new Ecco would be commerically successful. I've seen far more people saying how much they disliked those games because of their difficulty than liked by a large margin sadly. The failed Kickstarter for a spiritual successor speaks for itself.
