Has anybody noticed?

If you search up "Sonic OVA 1996 Japanese", on the cover, you see Metal Robotnik. Has anyone noticed that Metal Robotnik looks very similar to Brak / Black Eggman? If not, then it might just be me.

Brak Eggman is from OVA. That is known

Huh. I didn't know that.

 

[Chezi]

Yeah, the final boss was directly based on the OVA

The final boss is literally Black Eggman.


SRB2 is probably one of the really few fangame that referenced the OVA.

There also are sounds in SRB2 that literally come sampled right from the Japanese version of the OVA that the robot makes during the Black Core final boss fight - the most recallable are its noisy walk cycle, as well as Eggman's various yells.

That's how you make a good sound design.


Why modern Sonic games cannot make good looking and sounding bosses anymore?


Even the Lost World Final Boss (which looked a bit like Black/Metal) was just pathetic.
