The character is already 'a weapon' says Sonic Team boss.
Shadow the Hedgehog only used guns in one video game, but that was enough to leave an impression on gamers that has lasted for nearly 20 years. While Shadow wasn't packing heat during the character's appearances in Sonic Adventure 2 or Sonic Heroes, his eponymous video game in 2005 made gun use a major part of the gameplay. Shadow's appearances since then have dropped the use of guns, and it seems that's a conscious decision on Sega 's part.
"Yeah, in the games Shadow did use a gun. But when we talk about Shadow, he would use whatever he needed in the moment to get the job done. So he would pick up a gun or ride a bike in order to get the job done – he's that kind of character," Iizuka told Video Games Chronicle."But he's also extremely powerful on his own and doesn't really need a gun or anything because he can do it himself – he is a weapon.
A New Era for ShadowIt's not that surprising that Sega plans on walking away from Shadow's gun use; back in 2005, the Sonic brand was in a very different place. The company was considering an M-rating for the Shadow game, and Sonic's mainstream appeal had greatly diminished. These days, things are much different for Sonic, thanks to a globally successful movie series.
Of course, Shadow's gun use has always been something of a joke in the Sonic fan community; critics at the time panned the inclusion as a vain attempt to make an"edgy" Sonic game. Some of the sillier moments from that game are still ridiculed nearly two decades later, and Sega probably doesn't want to provide any additional... ammunition, in that regard! Sonic x Shadow Generations On October 25th, Shadow will make his next video game appearance in Sonic x Shadow Generations.
