  • He really doesn't want Shadow. o-o

  • I'm not really part of the generation that played Sonic growing up, but I do remember playing it at some time in my childhood. I can't even remember on which platform. Also: 1000th comment!!

  • Comment removed

  • I like shadow

  • I'm 13 and a girl, and I understand every fucking thing here and agree so damn much. ALEX, YOU SPEAK SUCH GAMING TRUTH~

  • because i grew up wit pokemon blue and snoic 1 i understand evry thing alex says

  • @proto360ster im 15

  • I like blaze silver and shadow why does everybody hate shadow?

  • @earthgirl010 what are you talking about? shadow has a monsterous fan base lol

  • Come on, I understand that Sonic was awesome and that Chaotix was super annoying, but Amy Rose wasn't THAT much of an abomination. In fact, she's much worse. Just kidding >.> I mean, Sega makes fun of her crush on Sonic, which makes my day many times over. Silver kicks ass, and Shadow is that mysterious parallel character that just is so cool. I love Sonic, Sonic 2, and Sonic 3, but this simple game concept became Sonic X and the Sonic universe we know and love today.

  • why is the intro so long?? good song though :-P

  • Love this song! You can actually download one of the original sonics on pc for free! It is so brilliant, brings back memorys!

  • 3:06 BLASPHEMY

  • lol shadow the only new one i liked

  • I agree with most of this... the problem is I still buy thte games.

  • The best sonic characters

    Tails

    Knuckles

    Silver

    Blaze

    SHADOW!!! <--- IS EPIC

  • I remember those days were he was still cool to play!

  • In my opinion, Shadow is cool but just a tiny bit over AND underrated. Shadow the hedgehog 2 should be made since the first one was bad, but then he'll get overrated again because almost everyone loves him. People should stop overrating him and think about the lost characters:

    Might, Ray, Fang, Bean, and Bark. They deserve to make one last appearance outside the comics before Sega decides to wipe them.

  • Best moment in sonic 06 for me? Silver getting roundhouse kicked in the back of the head, that noise it made was great!

  • 2 Characters I don't like:

    Silver. Another hedgehog. Seriously?

    Rouge. WHY SEGA WHY!?!?

  • i agree with almost everything, except for the "leave the cutscenes" part. Cutscenes ftw.

  • It's Dr. Robotnik. It's not even up for discussion...

  • Amy Pond+Rose Tyler=Amy Rose

  • This proves it. I am the only human in the world that loves cutscenes.

  • NUUUU!!! don't hate on Shady!! DX

  • @shadowfangirl50 i honestly hate shad for one reason, when he came in the couple "sonadow" started

  • @MrTailsluver i hate sonadow too, but that doesn't stop me from liking shadow ^_^

  • @shadowfangirl50 i like shdaow but thats one thing i hate about him

  • Sonic's always had a story. Every Sonic manual started with a story. The series has expanded and it's a good thing. SEGA continues to work their asses off on new games for Sonic, but the fanbase refuses to give them even a little credit for their hard work. Well, I say this. Let's see you make a better game.

  • @NeonBlue27 Haha rage hard little fanboy. Dude it's just a song, and people are allowed to have opinions. Calm down ;)

  • @NeonBlue27 Is obviously someone who works for SEGA lol, btw most people don't read the manual

  • @Rehema97 I'm flattered that you would think I work for SEGA, but sadly that is not the case. I love SEGA and all but I'm just not -quite- old enough for that yet. Besides, I'd rather work for Nintendo or Insomniac Games. Those guys kick ass.

  • @NeonBlue27 I was just kidding, and i agree working for Nintendo would be sick

  • -sigh- Like Pokemon, if they kept doing the same old thing and never making new ideas; It would get boring and the series would not be as good. Thus why they make new and good ideas. If anything Alex seems to complain about things a bit too much.

  • sonic colors was great

  • HEY HEY shadow was fine )': that was the last good sonic game (well sonic generations is fine but ya know)

  • As stupid as the story sometimes is, the main problem with sonic games in the mid to late 2000s was gameplay. Of course, the gameplay problems have been fixed since sonic colours and generations, so yeah, sega, sonic doesn't need a story!

  • What about big the cat?

  • Shadows my fave character but i like this song anyways!

  • True story

  • 72 people want shadow

  • Someone needs to break it to this guy that EVERY SINGLE Sonic game, including the Genesis titles, has a story, no matter how simple or convoluted it is.

    I can understand his gripes with some of the characters and the way Sonic Team is always trying to fix what is not broken, but clearly this guy complains too much.

  • @DjWindmaster97 Its a song, get over it :P

  • @ChromaticFail Don't give me that "It's just a so-and-so, get over it" excuse.

    This isn't "just a song" it's also a statement, and it's that statement Alex Day is making that I have a problem with, even though I can understand where he's coming from.

  • @DjWindmaster97 fucking smartass.

  • @yuhwryu123

    Yeah okay, I'm a "fucking smartass" because I matter-of-factly told someone on YouTube that this song wasn't just any old song.

    Just cool your jets, guy.

  • @DjWindmaster97 ... what was the point in writing all that......does it matter. and 'this guy' has a name and dosent care what you think. Id like to see you release a song on itunes and get Christmas number 4! You might as well complain to shakespeare because some of his charaters predict the future and that isnt real.

  • @hipster717 Yup, this is what I get for having an opinion on Youtube...

    When I say "this guy" it's just part of my speech pattern, my slang. Nothing more.

    I dont care if he doesn't care what I think 'cause Alex Day probably doesn't even know I exist, I was just giving my 2 cents on his song. Isn't that the point of a "Comments" section?

    And I don't know where the hell you're getting Shakespeare from.

  • .... did we ever care about the cutscenes?

  • Sega should make both kinds of games, the ones where he runs fast and the ones with strange stories personally I kind of like both sonics so I think they should also make more like generations :)

  • the new sonic games are good 2012 will tell of sonic's future

  • I can accept change.

    ...If it's good change.

    And change in the Sonic games has not been good.

  • The song is graet ,but why not shadow!?! he is much cooler then sonic!

  • @EvolutionEvoli Shadow is exactly the start of what killed the Sonic franchise. Impulsion to create new characters but not thinking too hard about their gameplay or design. Lifting story ideas straight from Dragonball Z. Making a whole damn back-story for one character in the first place and making it dark, shafting all other characters in this respect... I could go on.

  • @EvolutionEvoli Sonic is, and will always be more cool than Shadow. I do like him. But Sonic is the Origional

  • "fuck you shadow!"

  • Did he create the background music?

  • @prawnstawr Of course! He's Alex freakin' Day!

  • I think it'd have sounded a bit better alternating between "Hover skates are not the same as running at the speed of sound" and "Hover skates are not the same as being the fastest one around", just for a bit of variety. A great song none the less.

  • Like if you're under 15, yet understands every thing Alex is talking about in his Pokemon, Mario and Sonic songs.

  • @thecr8er you fucking know NOTHING

  • @thecr8er well i am 15, so I'm not sure if i'm in that age bracket. But since i had a gamer older brother I played all the classics at an extremely young age, including red/blue/yellow :D

  • @thecr8er PASTA

  • @thecr8er *Faith in humanity restored*

  • @thecr8er You my friend deserve a cookie

  • @thecr8er I grew up with Johto and Hoenn, but Kanto is by far my favorite. And I'm 14.

  • Poor shadow ... :(

  • then Sonic generations was made!

    ...just ignore the story and play!

  • I personally hate Sonic's guts. But I love Alex to death!! I'm so torn!

  • I'm opposed to the way he says "we don't care anymore" as though he speaks for everyone. He doesn't speak for me anyway.

    I actually like the new games. 06 is the only truly terrible game, Heroes was annoyingly kid-targeted, Shadow was poorly made and Riders went downhill with every game. Apart from that, there's not much to hate about the games. They've seriously improved, Sonic is back to being the only playable characters and the music is still awesome.

    Generations is the best game yet. Period

  • @Xackadee Obviously you've never heard of a hyperbole.

    "Everyone has a cellphone so I should get one too!"

    This song is for the people that DO agree with him so he is speaking for those people. Obviously he isn't speaking for you if you don't agree.

  • @Xackadee well yea but this was written before even colours was realesed.

  • Why did you mock the Chaotix and Amy who were part of the classic series.

  • @marioroxmysox let the guy have his opinion ffs

  • @marioroxmysox Amy in Sonic CD was called Rosey The Rascal. They are two different Hedghogs, Rosey was queit and had a crash on Sonic. Amy on the other hand chokes him to death every 5 seconds and Screams his name.

  • i liked it but u started to diss shadow.............T_T don't EVER diss shadow 

  • okay im ony gonna say this onece so all u haters listen up...

    THIS IS JUST A FRIKIN' SONG OKAY IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT BEACAUSE HE SAID IT IN A SONG DOES NOT MEAN HE DOESNT LIKE THEM!

  • Chaotix? Amy Rose? HOW FAR BACK DOES THIS GUY ONLY LIKE? Jesus Christ man, the only reason you hate the newer games is because you haven't played them. I mean, if you hate a new game, just don't play it AND STOP BITCHING AND MOANING AND LEAVE THE SMART PEOPLE WHO CAN ACCEPT CHANGE ENJOY IT. And, please explain; why was Amy Rose an "abomination"? Was the concept of pink too complicated? Is your tiny brain too small to comprehend a story line? Seriously, grow up.

  • @MegaShroom22 Dude, here's the thing; those short little 2d platformers? They were fun. Pretty much every thing after story became anything other than an excuse plot? Boring as shit.

  • @MegaShroom22 Umm the original platformers were amazing but now they recycle the games but 3d and add a bogus storyline to make it "new." Seriously Generations is basically the recycle bin. And nerimon is just saying he like the older games.

  • @MegaShroom22 It's his opinion. If YOU don't like it, don't watch the video. Noone is keeping you here.

    Personally, I think the guy is a genius; put an opinion into song and watch em flock in!

  • @MegaShroom22 Rosey the Rascal was the origional Amy, But only quiet.

    Amy Rose was a more annoying version of Rosey the Rascal that screams his name every time she sees him and chokes him to death every 5 seconds. I have accepted change. But Amy, is not Rosey the Rascal from Sonic CD

  • AHEM, did I hear, "KEEP YOUR PRINCESSES?" What about PRINCESS SALLY?! She was from when the games, "didn't have a story", which, by the way, THEY DID HURR DURR. I mean, I agree; I hated those sonic games about him being a warewolf and the knight one and blah blah blah, but you don't need to hold a grudge against all sonic games. I swear, this guy is a huge nostalgia fag. And, also, I played Sonic since the beginning, and I still care about the cutscenes. I play a game for it's plot too!

  • Hey guys do you know why he always says "Don't want Shadow" At the end of the song? Because Shadow is a fake of Sonic and this guy doesn't want Sonic's fake!

  • I Guess This Is His Way Of Telling Shadow To Fuck Off

  • my friend wants shadow

  • Spazzmaticka Polka at the start

    .

  • Kick everyone else off except Classic Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles! Oh, yeah, and give Tails his SatAM and AoStH voice back! He was freakin' adorable AND awesome back then -- and MAKE JALEEL WHITE SONIC AGAIN! BEST SONIC OF ALL TIME! *U* Or at least have that guy from the movie, if not him! He sounded congested, yeah, but at least he was good (that goes for Tails, too)! *U* Rock on! LOVE THIS SONG! SPEAKS THE TRUTH, MAN! *U*

  • Shadow's cool, but we could do without him. Just kill off all the good guys except for Sonic, Tails and Knuckles, and make Tails sound at least remotely manly. I swear to god he sounds more like a chick in every new game.

  • fuck shadow

  • I personally think Shadow's bad ass...

  • i loved this song untill the part don't want shadow xD

  • if sonic didn't have a story than eggman wouldn't exist. and by that I mean that eggman was the bad guy of the story

  • Personally, I think staying with the same old characters would get old REALLY fast, almost as fast as Sonic. I'm glad SEGA expanded. They just need to find the right mix of things to make it work (and keep true to speed and physics).

    Just so you know, Amy (in Sonic CD) was introduced BEFORE Knuckles (Sonic 3) was.

  • @Shika1929 I don't really care about it being the original, I started with the GameCube ones, but everything he said about Shadow I can apply to Amy.

  • @NicoTheSecondDoctor I was just pointing out a fact about Amy. I tend to agree with you about Amy, though. Maybe if she actually wasn't useless and a fangirl to Sonic. I heard she's remotely tolerable in Sonic and the Black Knight...but it's Sonic and the Black Knight. :P

  • i like shadow

  • I think it's obvious SEGA has learned from the mistakes in the past and are back on track.(( with how 4, Colors, and Generations are))

  • I like shadow...

  • Alex Day doesn't need a story...yeah he's just that epic

  • DONT WANT WANT SHADOW...DONT WANT SHADOW

  • i dont think sonic needs a story

  • I like the song, very creative but i disagree, part of the fun in any video game is the story and Sonic's stories are so varied it's not enjoyable

  • the intro gave my friend a head ache! XD

  • I always loved Shadow... XD

  • Comment removed

  • Wait... "Amy Rose"? So...does the Doctor's world have a wormhole that ends up in Sonic's world, or something?

  • @DirigiblePlumCompany Amy Rose is the name of the pink hedgehog who has a crush on Sonic

  • @DirigiblePlumCompany That wouldnt be an abomination... jus think about it.

  • @DirigiblePlumCompany wtf? amy is a very commen name...

  • @DoctorDo1234 amy is one of the doctor's companions and rose is an earlier one.

  • @Shinybestcrittercare i know what doctor who is... i was just pointing out AMY is a very commen name thus i find you'r comment really dumb

  • @DirigiblePlumCompany Amy POND is Dr. Who. xDD

  • @JokerInTraining1 and rose tyler mixed , i think is what he means

  • @DirigiblePlumCompany you have no hope!

  • @DirigiblePlumCompany No. You're mixing up Rose Tyler and Amy Pond. Amy Rose is that pink hedgehog who has a giant crush on sonic.

  • @EvilCheese555 Unless Amy fell through to the same dimension as Rose and they merged into a pink hedgehog with a big hammer. It could happen.

  • Comment removed

  • @DirigiblePlumCompany OMFG that's gold! And *thumbs up* at your username! :D

  • @DirigiblePlumCompany lol, Sonic'll totally just randomly say one game: "Come along, Pond!"

  • Okay... I think it's clear that Shadow is obviously his favorite Sonic character.

  • @WishfulSilence No. Just no. A Hedghog with Hover shoes can't compare to a Hedghog that can naturally be born to run as fast as the speed of sound. (Sonic > Shadow) Been a Sonic fan scence the first game bro.

  • I like both the old and new games. True, Shadows sucks and sort of does Silver (especially how different he works in '06) true in Riders using the Skates does make you go a little slower and Amy is a completely useless character. (Breathes Heavily) Flickies are so effin coooooot!

  • The original had a story, You just needed to read the comics, watch the shows, and read the manuals.

  • @technarave Yeah, but you didn't have to.

  • nigga, Amy is the hottest vidya gaem character ever.

  • what u mean with dont want ....

  • Did you know you can get herpes just by touching a hedgehog? ....thought you all should know.

  • @Burnsidechar Considering herpes is an STD, I highly doubt that.

  • @BIDZ180 why else do you think knuckles is all red?

  • Cool song but....I do like shadow.... the only characters I dont like is the Sonic Rider ones...

  • well somebodys not a big fan of shadow

  • well at leats sega knows that they changed sonic a lot and that a lot of ppl like the old sonic coz they made a new sonic game that was like best of old and new or something like that.

  • Shadow sucks a dick.

  • So this guy is like every other person who act like that(B*tch about every sonic game.why cant everybody like all games.there're bad and good games and bad and good gimmicks.but you dont seem me complain about it,i love all sonic games.A REAL FAN OF SONIC will not b*tch about anything of sonic)

  • Comment removed

  • So i herd you don't lik Shdaow?

  • Even the first two Sonic-games had a story:

    Robotnik created Sonic (and Miles "Tails" Prowler) and the Chaos Emeralds were the key to "everything" in the game's universe, and to beat Robotnik, Sonic would have to find them all and become the yellow Super Sonic. Or else, Robotnik and his huge robot corporation would destroy their homes to build a new dystopian city. You're also rescuing tiny animals while you kill enemies or are in a bossfight, which Robotnik has captured to do experiments with

  • Sonic game without a plot doesn't make any sense. If you think that Sonic doesn't need to make any sense, then why the hell are you even play these games? If you can't stand to think that Sonic can have a good enough plot then just ignore it, it's not like Sonic will run slower because of that.

  • @Sobol14 Chill..

  • @TheDustCrawler I'll be glad to chill, but I have a fever, so no such luck I'm afraid =)

  • Amy Rose came out on Sonic CD WAY before Choatix, just sayin'

  • You know Alex Day punched the air when he played Sonic Generations.

  • I'm sorry, but this song just comes across as whinny and bitchy. Maybe it's cause i don't mind new characters or story. Except charmy, i hate him.

  • I want shadow!

  • AHH I miss the original Sonic game!!! It was my favorite game when I was littles. Tried playing one of the newer games a bit ago.... broke my heart.

  • FUCK YOU SHADOW!lol.Reference fora concert of theirs.

  • I luv err what was it called....

    Sonic Adventure 2: Battle with all the Chaos and what-not.

    I still have the urge to lock myself in my room and play it while crying. I always cried when I sent them into the forest. I also feel weird when I sit down and think about how old that game is going to be when I'm an adult and how I'll still be playing it.  I also begin to rage when I watch this video at the end when the "Don't Want Shadow" begins.

  • I still have an original Sega console and the original Sonic game. I wasn't alive when it came out but it was my dad's.

    The only other Sonic game I have is Sonic Advance (GBA)

    I only ever play as Sonic or Knuckles. Amy shouldn't even be on that game, she's shit. >:T

  • eternalshadow50 is a newfag

  • @thealmightlumberjack Dont be hating on me! I'm not the one to blame for your hate for a misunderstood hedgehog.

  • @naeviaus cuz shadows an emo little bitch

  • Y U NO WANT SHADOW?

  • ...do you not want shadow perhaps?

  • Hey Alex, what do you think of Shadow?

  • Funny how you use the next-gen sonic when you sing about old-school games.

  • O.o""" I WANT SHADOW... I WANT SHADOW...I WANT SHADOW! <3

  • @Moonloved6 Don't want shadow. Don't want shadow.

    Don't want shadow.

  • @Moonloved6 you suck

  • @zachandzach619 Why? It's my own opinion. I can like Shadow if I want to. How's that hurting you?

  • DON'T WANT SHADOW, DON'T WANT SHADOW, DON'T WANT SHADOW, DON'T WANT SHADOW... Yeah we get the point:3

  • @appeyes Nope. 

  • I'm not sure why, but I got this sort of feeling that he might not want Shadow. Just my speculation though.

  • sonic heros was the best in my opinion it my first ps2 game still play it

  • Sonic alway has story

  • @appeyes No, totally wrong progression and intervals to Canon in D mate...

  • amazing song

    

  • I actually Love shadow but yeah he is right the stories are most of the time complete and utter crap

    bring back the original sonic but you know add Shadow to it :)

  • @jokernu1fan Were you not listening to the last 10 verses? "Don't want Shadow"
