Sonic Team recently expressed its wishes to remake one of the most critically reviled entries in the Sonic franchise, 2006's infamous Sonic the Hedgehog. Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), or known simply as Sonic '06, was originally released on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles. However, due to the game's troubled production schedule and rushed development, Sonic '06 was immediately lambasted for being a buggy, unplayable mess. It ended up causing a lot of damage to the franchise's reputation and is known as one of the worst games of all time.
Despite its many issues, some fans think Sonic '06 deserves a second chance. While Sega had mostly distanced itself away from the critically reviled title, Sonic '06 has been revisited in a few different ways throughout the 2020s. Various Sonic Symphony concerts often include pieces of music from the infamous game, and one of the game's villains, Mephiles the Dark, was included as a boss fight in Shadow Generations. Even Elise, the human princess that has been a subject of mockery, recently made a re-appearance in a side story. With Sega's softening stance on Sonic '06, it appears Sonic Team itself also wants to remake the game....
