Tails can fly but pilots the Tornado anyways. How come THAT is never brought up?

They tried that. They said he handled way too differently than one would expect from his past games, and then when they tried to give him his familiar physics he was unfair/too different from the rest of the cast.
I like to think of it as him giving the others a chance though. :p #sonicsegaallstarsracing

This is a man who's work is largely responsible for making me a gamer. I was a Sega kid growing up, and almost exclusively thanks to his games. In a way, he was the most influential game designer at Sega during it's console and arcade heyday.
Enjoy your retirement, Mr. Suzuki, you've most certainly earned it. We all know that Sega, the one that made lifelong gamers out of so many of us all those years ago, has long been dead.
I don't even recognize the company anymore, and don't really care to. It's officially the end of an era.

Mr Suzuki was a fine soldier. During his enlistment, he served well, going above and beyond the call of duty. He will always be remembered for his masterpieces.
Yu Suzuki, you are a god amongst men.

The heroics through his masterpieces, the cunning display of talent through the projects he's worked, and the legions of those who follow his vision remains unmatched to this day and serves example for all those who follow.

Shenmue didn't bankrupt Sega.
Use your head. I don't care how much Shenmue cost or how much money it lost. Sega launched 4 failed consoles in a row. The cost of R&D, mass production, marketing, and supporting the Sega CD, 32X, Saturn, and Dreamcast; all of which failed to light the world on fire in comparison to their competitors, is what killed ultimately Sega.
Not the development costs of two games whose budgets by today's standards would be considered normal.

I dunno, I loved VF5 but there was something about it that just...was missing.

I.e. VF5 essentially in summary introduced vf to the world of HD graphics, 2 new characters and gave everyone the 2 extra moves... something which VF4evo already did to VF4 (minus the HD)...
i.e. VF 4.75 HD remix?

Sega in 2015: How much you wanna make a bet I can throw a football over them mountains.
Sure you can, Sega. Sure you can.

I might have something to do with Shenmue being better than anything anyone else has ever done in the history of everything.
