I love the fact that you are not only creating new content, but are also taking the time to remaster older content to bring it up to your incredible modern high standards. It's always a pleasure to rewatch some of your classic videos :)

Probably the most underrated gaming history channel on youtube. One of the few channels i have the bell turned on for.

I loved seeing all the influences on the art style. I also enjoyed the footage of the Tokyo Toy Show Sonic demo - I wasn't aware any existed.

The Sonic soundtrack is a masterpiece just like in Revenge of Shinobi and Streets of Rage!

Just wanted to say, as a longtime Sega fan, it's nice that there's somebody out there doing this kind of amazing research and quality production. Even for games as frequently reported on and widely known as Sonic, you always manage to show me something I didn't know about the history of these games.

As a long-time Sonic fan, this was amazing to see. Furthermore, the fact that you've made such great content and then went and remastered it should be a testament to the quality of your channel and all the work that goes into it. Phenomenal job well done here to all involved.

it's always a good day when strafefox uploads

I hope this video reaches millions! I enjoyed every second and cant wait for your next release

Extremely underrated channel. The amount of time and editing you put into your videos really makes it deserves more views

One error: The name "Robotnik" was never a thing in Japan. That was part of the US localization. His original name was always Eggman. Same goes for the name "Badniks". Eggman's machines never had a specific name either.

Mario introduced me to gaming, then Sonic cemented it as a lifelong passion. I've seen so much cut content and prototype footage from this game, but I was pleasantly surprised to see new stuff I had no idea existed! You da man, strafefox!!

I have nothing clever to say. I just wanted to say thank you for continuing to make these incredible videos!

This was such an incredible video! I never knew about the WW2-inspired story for Sonic, that was so cool to learn about! Always a treat to see these vids.

Damn, the medley at the end hits hard.. I love the idea of creating interesting scenarios first and putting them somewhere in the stage.

So many emotions watching this, for a moment it felt like it was all happening for the first time. Amazing content as always, thank you!

Honestly, the Japanese box art of the Classic Sonic era aged like fine wine. There is something unique and timeless about the airbrush artwork of Sonic that even most digital artists can replicate. Akira Watanabe has the skill of professional that Greg Martin wish he could have (no offense to Greg). _"Don't just sit there and waste your precious time. When you want to do something, do it right away. Do it what you can. It's the only way you can live a life without regrets."_

The sonic games were the beginning of my gaming journey as a child, and will always have a special place in my heart for that. Thanks.

A tale as old as time... and it never gets old. Such an awesome story, now told with the awesome Splash Wave treatment!

Always love watching your videos, the level of detail and effort doesn't go unnoticed.

Strafefox always make the best videos 👍

The amount of work that goes into making these videos look good has to be absolutely monumental. Thank you for making these!

these videos are the definition of aesthetic, its a good day when a new one comes out!

It's such a long time between episodes, but the production quality shows a lot of effort and details put into each. Many thanks!

9:00 - Wow! That's an amazing bit of Sonic trivia I've never heard before.

Excellent video as always! Long time fan of this channel. Sonic is a true icon of the 16 bit era. Long live the blue blur! 🌀💨

I'll never forget watching this video for the first time the visuals and editing are impeccable!

Always a happy day when I see a new strafefox video in my feed. Top shelf work as always!

Another masterpiece. This channel deserves so many more subs!

The original video was actually the reason I decided I want to go into programming I’m so glad you remastered this video

love that little animation of the fan blowing the genesis closer to the tv at 17:15

Why can't i stop watching these? Oh that's right...The amazing background renders, The 3d modelling, the smooth transitions, the plethora of knowledge, the highly structured narrative....

The quality of this remastered video is incredible. New sub here

I hope one day we can see the development of Jet Set Radio through your lens and storytelling. Great work as usual!

Awesome video. I adored this game as a kid. And I even play the OST from time to time so I can hear that Awesome music. Thanks for making this and thanks to all who helped create something I could be so nostalgic about today.

This new video made my day. Thanks for always creating the best content out there!!! 🔥🔥🔥

So glad that Sonic was a part of my childhood and that the 16-bit games have aged well. Thumbs up for your work!

As someone who's followed the story of these games for decades at this point, and how it's evolved as we get more information, this is stellar. Very well researched, very well presented, and I even learned a few new things despite being steeped in this for as long as I was. *And* you didn't trip on "Mr. Needlemouse"! That one's gotten so many people for so many years, even Sega themselves. Great work.

I've always wanted to know the inner development details of these old games. It amazes me how people created such masterpieces with limited technology.

Keep up the great work, I love your videos! This is the quality of content I like to see on KZfaq

Praise the editing staff It's on par with news documentaries with its own flair Good job on everyone's part

I just had to take a break at 16:50, being a musician myself, grown up with the Mega-Drive and Sonic 1 as my first game this original score is just something magical to behold. I always was font of your channel but this kind of info really REALLy took it to new heights! Keep up the AMAZING work maat!

I don’t think I left a comment the first time I watched this video, which is a shame because this one is truly special. I just watched both your older ‘Making of Sonic the Hedgehog’ video and this one back to back, and they both do such a great job explaining many of the same, but also many different aspects of Sonic 1’s development. This more in depth look at the creation of the first Sonic game, however, is really special even when compared to the older video (which is still fantastic) because it goes into the roles of even more people behind Sonic 1’s development, while the first one fleshes out the inspirations behind Sonic 1. I’d say watching both back to back might’ve given me the best Splash Wave experience I ever had, which is really saying something because your production values alone are insane, let alone the passion and research that goes into these amazing videos.

I also watched this as soon as I saw it was out! So good!

Nicely put together!! Short, snappy, just what you need when everyone else's take on the development of Sonic is often over 1hr. Especially liked the beat matched tracks as the video finished, nicely polished off into the credits!

Thank you for another absolutely brilliant video! I always get giddy when I see a notification that you've posted a new one.

I've been binging your videos all month! Having this video release today was a pleasant surprise :) Thank you!

It’s always a treat getting new Videos from this channel. Stay awesome dude!

These documentaries are simply amazing, the amount of detail of information is superb.

I appreciate you keeping ur old video up. It's nice to go back and forth and see the growth that uve made. Love the channel!

I just checked this channel to see if there was anything new so I feel lucky to see that only an hour later you’d upload this. Thank you!

Your usage of Jem BGM during the the part where you’re talking about CG graphics made me so happy. Lovely video about my favorite video game character!

One of my favorite games meets one of my favorite channels! As always, I love the behind-the-scenes looks that always bring up some new things I didn't know, along with the newly-created visuals that replicate environments from the featured game!

A unified 25-minute Sonic the Hedgehog Strafefox video. I always knew that one day, you would finally come. Next, a 3-hour documentary about the Phantasy Star series, and a 1-hour video about Terranigma. I refuse to give up hope on those. Cheers Strafe!

Unbelievably good work here. This is without a doubt one of the best channels I've ever encountered on KZfaq.

Love the Super Hang-On music here! Such an underrated soundtrack

You're back, finally and in my birthday! This is a stellar gift, thank you so much!

Yes!!! You’re back! Been waiting for more videos. Love all your content, it’s truly amazing

Another amazing video. You guys are one of the few channels on youtube that I always take the time to watch all their content.

Video remake! Love it!! Thanks for the video and keep up the excellent work :D

Amazing documentary! Honestly, I've never been a Sonic fan, but your presentation made it look very interesting and it was a pleasure to watch. Thank you for your hard work!

Your videos are amazing. Seeing and hearing this one, I'd love to enjoy your take on Shenmue!

I wonder at what point of development for Sonic 1 that the devs realized, "Holy shit, this is FAST". What an amazing day that must have been when they realized they were going to be able to make a game worthy of the title "sonic".

Knowing that the person who composed the music was a bassist explains how the soundtrack slapped so fucking hard, especially Spring Yard Zone

when my Bell rings and its strafefox, I get a tear in my eye for joy of happiness. I have no idea why Amazon or Netflix don't knock on your door; you deserve a Million-dollar check. Your talents are worth 5 million subscribers

thanks so much for all of the hard work you put into all of your content your Castlevania series is premium stuff

Welcome back brother, your videos are a joy to watch, beautifully made and so informative on game designs and the process of game making, thank you and keep them coming ;)

Great seeing you tackle this one! Outstanding video as always.

Oh my God I'm stoked you guys made this video!! I LOVE your content, and the history of Sonic is right up my alley!! I'm probably going to watch this video 3 times this week. I love it thanks Strafe Fox! Splash wave kicks (blue) balls!!

How does this channel not have a million views, Its quality is SO GOOD

Thank you for still putting enormous attention to detail and entertainment in your videos, the 3D animations and overall format makes your new videos exciting to watch even if we already know everything about the game in question.

Waiting or the release of a Bluray, filled to the rim with extras and the best quality ever. I live in Argentina, but i would gladly pay for it!

I don't understand how is this channel so underrated! Keep it up, man! Your content is really good!

This is so good!!! This is the only video about The making of Sonic 1 that's up to date with the current information, I love this

Again, another amazing video! Once I see a splash wave video in my sobscriptions feed, I know that I've got a good time ahead of me. Your videos never disappoint!

You videos are so well done, they're a joy to watch. Thank you for your time and effort !!!

This channel's content makes me feel warm inside as someone with lots of love and passion for games

I love this channel, can't wait to see what you have coming up next.

The absolut gold standard of KZfaq content, as usual.

amazing work bringing this video to life and sharing it with us. thanks!

My comments here are always the same: it's always a delight to open youtube and see a notification of new content of yours. Thank you VERY much for your dedication, your videos are the best.

My favorite channel on YT. Thank you for doing what you do!

This channel and GVMERS are the two best game documentary channels on KZfaq.

These are truly special videos your team creates. Thank you for sharing them :)

i'm on my lunch break at work and i watch the new strafefox video. what's better? flawless work as always

Man that feeling of speeding and knowing that you might get in trouble was something else back in the day

Top-notch work, well-researched and well-narrated. I especially appreciate the effort put into making the nifty CG zone representations.

Once again, very well done sir!

Wonderful video! Professional film making and outstanding editing skills! Loved it!

thank you Strafefox for taking the time and effort to create such an amazing content!

Such a cool documentary, this took me straight to my childhood when I opened that box with the blue hedgehog on it ❤️

I remember, back in 2018 your Sonic 1 and 2 video were some of the most impressive works I've seen on this platform. (And also brought me back into the series after taking a break from it) The fact you even found a way to improve on your Sonic 1 video is just insane. I ADORE the Spring Yard and Star Light models so much! Basically every model you create is gorgeous. I'm repeating myself, but each detail you craft into these is just so beautiful to look at! My interest of the origin story of Sonic has never dried out, and this is easily the best documentary of it yet! Cheers for your amazing work~

It's always an event when strafefox uploads a new video! Had to watch this one on the TV. As always, top notch quality!

Your content is seriously hard to find a comparison for. It reminds me of the "how it's made" shows on TV that would tell you the history about taffy or tires or something. You go well above and beyond with all of your content, but remastering older content is even more impressive. Thank you for all that you do and please do more!!

Amazing stuff as always, Jeroen! It's crazy how much work had to go into the making of this game. Its quality really shows through, even to this day.

once again amazed by your work. some of the highest production values of any gaming videos on the platform. I'll be here when you hit a million, thanks for your hard work!

Thank you for uploading this. It is a pleasure to watch your videos.. I can only imagine how long it took to develop this.. Keep up the good work, and thanks!

4 months to deliver a game is crazy. They’ve must have slept a just couple of hours a day! Also marble and starlight zone tunes are ones of my favorite of all time!!

Always a pleasure to watch. The detail, depth of information and quality of all your videos has always impressed me.

Going to watch again and again until reach 100k views, it deserve a lot!!!

Excellent work, as always! Funny, I had no idea that so many of the first wave of Mega Drive titles were rushed out so quickly. It makes sense, but kudos to Sega's staff for making them as good as they were.
