It must have been fate! Here's my story: My sis was never a huge video game fan, but she did play sometimes. We had an NES (and later an SNES) and as soon as I was old enough, I started playing the typical Nintendo games. Zelda, Mario, Star Fox, etc. But I wanted a system of my own. So, after much pestering, my mom agreed to buy me one. I decided on the Genesis since we already had Nintendo's systems and I decided against getting a Turbo Grafix-16, lol. So, I had my system and I loved playing it... But then... The year was 1991. I wanted a new game and heard about one called Sonic the Hedgehog. It was the only game about an anthropomorphic hedgehog at the time, so it interested me. We bought it and... Instant love connection!
The year was 1991. I fell in love that year, and I never looked back. ... And when 2001 came around I became more committed than ever. lol.

I had the Mega Drive...good times. I still have it, 'cept it doesn't work. I like to keep it in memory of the greatest years of gaming although when I got a Dreamcast, my shelves were full of my awful drawings and I had posters and stuff. I was never really a big fan of Mario. I just don't 'get' the appeal of him

I don't get it either... I mean, his games are solid, but they're so hackneyed and predictable... and sometimes childish. Plus, Mario's a plumber. A fat plumber. Yeah, where's the appeal?
But it looks like we've gone waay off-topic.... So... Shadow's the greatest.

I never really liked Mario... just Yoshi he is so cute! I would love to have a Yoshi as a pet, either a pink one or a black one... or both! But like every Mario game is the same you save the princess from Bowser and thats it...
Sonic games are much much better.

Sonic games are better, but I love Mario as well. I'm an addict for videogames so yeah... In 3rd grade, it was a 'free day' so we just watched movies all day. The movie was Sonic the Hedgehog. My friends were bored within the first 5 mins of it, but I was hooked on it. So, a couple days later, I was in a game store, and it had Sonic Heroes as a display so anyone could play it. os, I played it in the store, and my mom had to pull me away from the system...Then I got the game and played it over and over again. Then when I got a Gameboy, I got Sonic Battle, and that's when I fell in love with Shadow!

Was the movie the Sonic OVA? I loved it! It got a little strange at times but... Yeah.
By the way, I love Sonic Battle and Shadow being in it, but... Who else thinks that his story made absolutely no sense?

Well first, Shadow shouldn't have been in it at all! The game came out after his departure in SA2 but before his reintroduction in Sonic Heroes. Plus, he remembered all about Maria and the events aboard Colony Ark, but in Heroes and ShtH, he's an amnesiac. It just doesn't make sense, but yeah, it was still a good game.

well the game wasn't part of the main story it's just on the side, like sonic riders. sure it had a plot but no one remembers it or talks about in the other games.

Yes they do. For a short while, they talk about Emerl in Sonic Chronicles.

Yeah, Shadow's story in SB confused me too... Um... SB came out before Heroes, right? Then yes, why was he even in it?
