The first time I heard they’d changed Robotnik’s name was in 2005 when I replayed the game on my friend’s X-Box. To tell Thor’s honest truth, I’m still not over it. Siliconera asked SEGA what the frick the name confusion was all about, and they said that on its initial release in Japan, the character was called Eggman. Yeah. He wasn’t called Robotnik until the games were ported. TIL. And I refuse to acknowledge. Good thing Takashi Iizuka combined the two, ’cause it was starting to get a little Mandela-effecty up in here.
