SEGA/Nintendo deal for Sonic includes next three titles

[TehCupcakes]

You haven't tried Sonic Generations have you? If you haven't, I highly recommend it. The best Sonic game since the Adventure series.

You misread my post. I was agreeing that Sonic Generations was amazing. But that was just one game. SEGA hasn't won back my faith yet.

So does this mean they won't be releasing the Dreamcast 2?

 

[KingBlank]

Has anyone heard about the rumors for the Mario Kart/Sonic All Stars crossover game? I'm excited for THAT.

You are insane, that would be the best possible thing

 

[Andim]

Did you even read this entire thread?

Yes.

Here's to hoping they can pull if off again. Sorry for misreading your post.

Spoiler

World Map? Return to Mobius, or what's left of it?

Possible logo for 2014?

Part of "an exclusive worlwide partnership between Sega and Nintendo" Yay. "Sonic Lost World", and Mario and Sonic Winter Olympics crossover. AGAIN. Lost World will be exclusively on the 3DS and Wii U, while M&S 2014 is on the Wii U only. A 3DS release could be possible, but only a Wii U version was confirmed. Release dates unknown.

I hope the partnership of Nintendo and Sega develops a new f-zero!

I'd rather have a realistic F-Zero VS Sonic.... then again why does sonic need a car?

I would love to see that

Dreamcast 2 -- Sega's branded play store available on all devices everywhere?

Guys think for a moment.
It's not "the next three Sonic games". It's the Sonic games they just announced. Lost Worlds 3DS, Lost Worlds Wii U, and the new Mario and SOnic.

This World Partnership could be as short as those three games, or it could last for years. This press release says nothing.

They said that they will reveal info about the next three games in the coming weeks, so it can't be Lost Worlds or Olympic Winter games. And one more thing, if your theory is true, then they would've said 4 because Mario and Sonic will launch for the portable device (aka 3DS) just like every Olympic games.
EDIT: Looks like we were wrong, Sega confirmed that Lost World and Sochi Winter games are two of the three titles. The third is yet to be announced.

Hopefully 2K Games and 2K Sports will go exclusively to the Wii U as well. I'll have no need for EA games. With a considerable amount of luck the NFL won't renew it's exclusive license with EA Sports so 2K Sports can start making NFL games again.

Considering that they were very fierce rivals back in the 90s, I find it rather ironic (but also a very good thing) that Nintendo and Sega teamed up like that. But again, not a bad thing, just unexpected.

As ironic as Nintendo and Sony teaming up to make a new console back in the 90's, now being in a rivalry trifecta with Microsoft?

he didn't need a sword but they gave him one

To be honest Colors was an "okay" game but it was still really not that awesome at all. Considering how neck and neck Mario and Sonic were in terms of quality to the gap in quality between Sonic Colors and Super Mario Galaxy, yeah it's not as good as people make it out to be I think.

Even the "good" Sonic games are basically just functional but mostly really bland almost on-rails platforming affairs with a lot of dumb chance placement of like spikes and shit. Ramp up speed to 11 then throw a wall of spikes that you just can't see unless you memorized the level.

Considering all the other awesome platformers coming to light (it looks like Rayman is back in action and better than ever), I don't think Sonic is a big deal.

 

[J-Machine]

sonic needs to be less story driven to succeed. also allowing or quick pick up and play mechanics would help too. (i.e: sonic 3 and knuckles which had saving on a simple platformer and dlc)

Well, this is highly regrettable. As someone fond of the Sonic franchise, but IMMENSELY unfond of the Wii U, I suppose this means I'll be skipping the next few instalments. I'm not buying a device I'll never touch again for a single franchise.

 

[DSGamer64]

The last few Sonic games have been pretty good so it gives me hope that the series will continue to thrive on Nintendo systems. With how much crying studios have been doing over the Wii U, this partnership means a lot.

 

[The Milkman]

I hat sonik.

But that Lost World sequel that was going around before looks like it will be pretty cool. So I'm glad about that.
