Summary

Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description	A comparison of the original 1998 Sonic Adventure and the 2003 Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut.
Author or copyright owner	Sonic Team/Sega
Source (WP:NFCC#4)	Top image from Wikipedia; bottom from Wikia. Self-edited in Microsoft Word
Date of publication	1998 (top), 2003 (bottom)
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	Sonic Adventure
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	To illustrate the graphical upgrades Sonic Adventure received when it was ported to the GameCube. This was an object of discussion in reviews, and is also quite noticeable.
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	No such free equivalent exists because the game is a copyrighted work and therefore no free equivalent can exist.
Not replaceable with textual coverage because (WP:NFCC#1)	This image provides visual aid and helps the reader understand the upgrades in Sonic Adventure DX better.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	There is no need for the file elsewhere. The only exception would be if someone creates a page for Sonic Adventure DX, and the image would need to be moved there as a result.
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	This low-res image is not reproducible at a size that would detriment Sega's ability to profit from and market the game. (c) 1998, 2002 Sega and Sonic Team.
