Make Every Year The Year Of Shadow
"Genuinely a well done year that properly celebrateꦆd the character," . "With what we got, it’s clear Shadow got a much-needed revitalization of his character that hasn’t been seen since '06." Indeed, after literally being in the shadows, Shadow was given a proper spotlight, co𝓡mplete with a game, anime and live-action debut.
"I think it's great that Sega is finally acknowledging how popular Shadow is among fans," . "Everything he's appeared in all year has been a huge hit. I hope tha✨t Shadow will get his own standalone game again before too long."
Unfortunately, the only thing missing from that celebration was a true standalone game. Even a remaster of the nostalgic Shadow the Hedgehog would've like🦄ly sufficed among fans.
Still, not every fan was happy-go-lucky,🔴 . "Honestly, a Year of X character (or maybe X Team for less popular characters) would be a cool thing to do semi-regularly," . "Give other characters the spotlight instead of just Sonic, Tails, and sometimes Knuckles 🌼or Amy."
Whichever way you look at thi𒉰ngs, Shadow is no longer in Sonic's shadow, having fully come into his own. Now it's up to Sega to capitalize on the new popularity and strike while the iron is hot.
