Support NeoGAF

[LonelyGreyWolf]

Well, that's hardly surprising. The Wii has tons of exclusive Sonic games. Remember the storybook trilogy?

 

[Tuck]

Damn I was hoping the deal didn't include the Mario and Sonic game, though I guess its obvious that it would.

Hopefully the deal is lucrative for them. Wonder what the third game is.

EDIT: Poster above me is right. Wii had 3 exclusive Sonic games, all did pretty well I think (Maybe not the sword one). So we can probably expect something similar.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

The rumored Shenmue III?

 

[clay_ghost]

Are Sonic games even big sellers?

From that ubisoft thread

 

[Fantomex]

I don't think this will dispel those Dreamcast/Wii U rumors. I mean, what was the last great Sonic game? Colors?

 

[cafemomo]

Nintendo does what Segcan't?

 

[MarkusRJR]

I'm hoping for maybe a Sonic x Mario platformer developed by EAD Tokyo and Sonic Team or F-Zero U.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

What this says to me is that Sega don't see Sonic as profitable anymore compared to their PC franchises.

 

[Anth0ny]

Sonic Adventure 3 lets gooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[mattp]

and one other game to be revealed at a later date.

shenmue 3


edit:
dammit sonic only

 

[tajd]

do we finally get a crossover platformer?

this

 

[Wyndstryker]

Imagine if Retro was working on Shenmue III

GAF wouldn't survive if that was true.

Thats like telling me Monolith is making a mainline Phantasy Star...

 

[Malvingt2]

The rumored Shenmue III?

if that happens.. I wonder if GAF would go down again..

 

[Aostia]

Considering the good result of All star- could it be another (but exclusive) Sonic Racing game? Or what? Another platformer?

 

[Mr.Squirrel]

I wonder if it'll be final fantasy 7 remake. That'd be a nice exclusive.

 

[Dead Prince]

People don't read. It's three Sonic games.

Skies of Sonica

 

[InsaneZero]

Get NST involved. Please.

Maybe?

 

[Impeccable]

It's going to be...

Mario and Sonic Kart Wii U.

The theme will be a versus story line then they will join forces to race against a Bowser/Eggman combination.

Sonic is in Smash, too.

 

[Walter Matthau]

nice move by Nintendo

 

[Galang]

Imagine if Retro was working on Shenmue III

It would be disappointing.

 

[Mithos]

Phantasy Star 5.....

Spoiler

I wish

 

[Allan Holdsworth]

Fucking megaton I say. I'm suspecting Bayonetta 2 levels of salt (for Sonic nonetheless lol).

Correct me if I wrong, but isn't it normal for Nintendo to publish various 3rd party games in Europe/Australia?

 

[Kusagari]

Imagine if Retro was working on Shenmue III

Why Retro?

I wouldn't know whether to be hyped or what about that.

 

[ColtraineGF]

So you have the mainline action-platformer, and the obligatory Olympics game. Third is probably a sequel in the All Stars Racing series.

 

[Vorundor]

Jet Set Radio U

Draw graffiti on the GamePad

YES!! So much yes for this!!! I would even be happy with a port of JSRF with that implementation.

 

[StarCreator]

I don't think this will dispel those Dreamcast/Wii U rumors. I mean, what was the last great Sonic game? Colors?

I've heard Generations (the latest one) consistently praised over Colors.

 

[rallaren]

 

[Gold_Loot]

Sonic Racing 2
Sonic Pinball
Mario and Sonic Olympics

 

[Glass Rebel]

Maybe a mod should change the thread title. It's three Sonic games.

 

[treason]

Sega has one hot sonic game every 10 year average

Cool I guess

 

[Village]

Nintendo and sega allstars racing.

Super down.

 

[RM8]

Racing 3 and I buy a WiiU

Spoiler

unless it makes it to 3DS.

 

[Krilekk]

A Wii U exclusive featuring Sonic at the Olympic Games. LOL, not even THQ made such bad business decisions with licensed IPs. Or do they mean something like they game will still be out on all platforms but the Wii U version will be distributed exclusively by Nintendo? Cause there is no way they ever make back the costs for that license with a Wii U exclusive. Featuring Sonic.

 

[rockx4]

Nintendo and sega allstars racing.

Super down.

I'd be on board for a Nintendo + Sega allstars racing.

 

[Sec0nd]

"Sega have chosen to exclusively partner with Nintendo to distribute or publish the next three Sonic the Hedgehog titles throughout Europe and Australia,"

So it's only exclusive in these territories?

 

[clay_ghost]

? all the sonic olympic games were exclusive on nintendo platforms.

What are you even talking about? Why would a Mario and Sonic crossover title be on anything beyond Nintendo systems?

 

[maquiladora]

3rd game will be a Sonc & Mario platforming crossover.

 

[Why would you do that?]

Wait, so Nintendo will publish the next three Sonic games? Interesting...

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Fuck Shenmue and Skies of Arcadia.

Give me Phantasy Star!

 

[SneakyStephan]

Or do we finally get a crossover platformer?

I think it has to be a crossover game for Sega to even be interested in this deal.

A new platformer called Sonio U

(get it? read it out loud)

 

[ColtraineGF]

Nintendo and sega allstars racing.

Super down.

The kart racing world will explode!

 

[Save 'N Quit]

Would not be surprised if the third game was Mario and Sonic Party.

 

[ArtHands]

The Mario and sonic olympics games have been a massive success...

Yeah, because all the others MARIO & Sonic games were released on other platforms... ?!!

 

[Village]

The only way that Idea would get better, if each character had racer specific dialogue.
* sonic passes mario"

" Your're too slow~"

Would not be surprised if the third game was Mario and Sonic Party.

Super down.

 

[Pie and Beans]

I can only assume Nintendo will buy Sega at some point. If they can't make money from Sonic games on X360/PS3/PC/Vita(lol) and presume they also can't on PS4/Durango, thats er, pretty bad news. Especially if Nintendo is publishing these titles (as with Bayonetta 2 as well!). Like what does the rest of Sega even do these days then?

 

[Diablohead]

Sonic Labyrinth 2


Kappa

 

[Zyae]

Megaton? Lol. Grasping for anything at this point. Sonic Hasnt been relevant in over a decade.
