    Default Armadillo...

    How did this game come out only a month after Sonic the Hedgehog? http://www.gamefaqs.com/nes/587095-armadillo/data

    http://www.gamefaqs.com/genesis/4544...-hedgehog/data

    It says 8/09/91 and Sonic was 7/26/91, so not even a month. Spies? Or they had the same idea, coincidence? Or early preview shots?

    Video of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Up2Q14fZdeI

    In this article Hirokazu Yasuhara is asked about why they were considering an armadillo rather than a hedgehog, but he doesn't answer:

    I guess it was because they can both roll into balls and it was a coincidence. Never mind.

    Hardly any of the game mechanics are even the slightest bit alike. Rolling into a ball does not = Sonic the Hedgehog.

    I'm a collector, but only to a certain extent.
    Not as extreme as Rickstilwell though.[/quote]

    Both games are completely different gameplay styles. This topic is dumb as hell

    It's kind of funny since Sonic was supposed to be an armadillo originally while the character was still in development.
