Bryan Lee O’Malley – the creator of Scott Pilgrim – is trolling us, isn’t he. The new album cover for Scott Pilgrim vs The World: The Game features the titular kid antihero is a pose many of us are familiar with, and that’s because it’s a direct replica / tribute to Sonic’s iconic under-the-leg pose from the box -art by Sonic adventure.
If you’re a Nintendo purist, you may know the game as “Sonic Adventure DX: Director’s Cut“, the title he got on the GameCube, but Sonic’s first foray into the 3D world was actually an original Dreamcast (RIP) game. It was the best-selling game on the console, no doubt due to the addition of the excellent Chao minigame , in which Sonic learns the value of parenting by raising a virtual pet.
While the re-release of Scott Pilgrim vs The World: The Game is exciting enough, we wonder if we’ll ever play Sonic Adventure again. We still have that song in our heads. You know that one.
