"The worst 3D graphics ever rendered"
I was going to say I had seen worse on really crappy cartoon shows, and commercials.
Then I saw Rogue.
ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRG!
She's a white tube with arms, legs, ears and eyes!
She has zero detail. No wings. No other colors.

Yup, I misspelled it.
I have actually mispelled before in the past
I also saw someone the other day misspell her name, and wondered about the normal misspelling of it.

It's not the fact that you are right, which I assume you are, but the fact that not everyone scours the internet in search of the most irrelevant gaming news for hours at a time.
So what if its old, I never saw it and I'm sure many other stiq'ers haven't either. This is why you have been downvoted. Now unless you run a blog that is 100% up to date with everything gaming related, please refrain from comments like this. =^D

Oh god, I think I still have some of these in a box somewhere from years ago when they had these in the US.
Awful, awful animation, by the way. I think the little mini games themselves have better graphics than that.

Shadow playing basketball? Man, as if his having guns in his own game wasn't stereotyping enough...

I wonder why Shadow was picked for basketball....

I was about to correct you on the Rouge the mouse thing, but no, she totally looks like a mouse in that video.

I was Loling (is that a verb?) at the music at first, then I saw Rouge. Nuff' said.

I also have these games from way back when (during the UK promotion). It's also worth noting the reason that the animation looks awful is because it's as old as the games. They are snippets pulled from tv ads that ran during the promotion here in the UK. Even then the animation sucked. Whenever I see stuff like this it reminds of South Park. You know the episode where Indiana Jones is constantly raped by Steve and George? Somewhere Sonic is getting raped by Sega PR (the people who killed the real Sonic Team and have been impersonating them ever since).

The audio made it feel surreal... It was almost like a really bad trip...

If I had known about this I could have made a better commercial for them.... In 30 minutes. I would have done it for free even, just to keep this atrocity from ever being unleashed to the world

I guess nobody told them that Rouge was a bat...

Thing is, I would actually buy a Sonic game with those graphics AND IT WOULD BE BETTER THAN MOST SONIC GAMES.

SAD FACT:
You can get a toy in your Happy Meal, when you go to a McDonalds in Pakistan, yet in San Francisco, they're banned.
