Welcome to the third and final installment of Dr. Robotnik's Royalty! This is my last day as the fill-in Royalty author already...but I have to say it's been a lot of fun. Next week will be even better with the return of Shawn behind the, uh, keyboard. Actually he'll be in front of the keyboard...but don't worry it will be fantastic as always! Now let's get on with this!
It's easy to see that Sega was onto something the few times they've allowed Sonic and his allies to team up with Eggman to fight for a larger cause. This is mostly because it humanizes the evil genius and allows players to see him in a light other than the usual not-so-great, mutilation of innocent bunnies light. The way I see it, a game that would give Robotnik the push he needs to skyrocket to the top of the popularity charts would be one that plays on this feature.
Let's explore this idea a little bit. Shadow the Hedgehog would be a perfect villain to a game of that caliber, especially considering he works for himself, with complete disregard for both villains and heroes alike. Suppose the maniacal hedgehog becomes corrupted by the Chaos Emeralds and has hijacked one of Robotnik's inventions...Metal Sonic! Shadow plans to use the emeralds to create an army of androids similar to the original Metal Sonic and take over the world. The player would be forced into a choice between controlling Eggman or Sonic as they team up to fight against Shadow's plot! Between Sonic's athletic prowess and Eggman's technological genius, Shadow and his army have no chance of success.That's the groundwork for a game that would have a lot of potential. Eggman would finally have a chance to be on the good side and fight against a threat much larger than just himself. And, no bunny murdering plots! Okay maybe one thrown in there.
Anyway, what does everyone think? Feel free to post a comment or let us know through any of our sites. It's been a great week my friends, come back on Sunday for Shawn's newest character!
WE ARE...CULLINATION!
