Can't wait to see more about the game.

Agreed.
If this amounts to sonic unleashed( daytime)/ generations also other characters.
They get all . all monies, even other peoples.

So, Sony had the option to get two Sonics exclusively before Nintendo did? Oh my... I'm lucky here, because I don't actually want to play a 3D Sonic on a Dual Shock. Also, Sony would also have gotten the handheld version exclusively?
PC Generations was incredible, wish everyone got to experience it that way.
Thank you! I thought I was the only one who thought of this.

From the last 4 main title Sonic games. I would rank them like this.
Sonic Generations > Sonic Unleashed > Sonic Colors > Sonic 2006.
I will not port beg for Sonic: Lost World, but i hope it doesn't remain a Wii U exclusive like Rayman Legends.

Unlike Legends though this is actually discussed as part of a "deal". Legends wasn't nailed down I don't think, whereas this is.

Eh, they do that sometimes. They did the same with Sonic 2006.
It looks easier than it is, but it is probably not everyones cup of tea. Learning and mastering a stage and unlike almost every other Sonic game it never really slows down so when you've memorized enough you can keep mach 1 through the entire stage which is really rewarding.
Also jump, homing attack, stomp, boost never stops being fun. It is almost like a rhythm game

Is this a Resident evil 4 type exclusivity?
Not surprised, it's been a while since Generations.

Maybe since one of Sonic's 3 co-creators works there.
Im assuming he wants yasuhara in this. Not that there's any indication that the deal goes beyond publishing.
No one knows the specifics yet; it's reasonable to suggest that Nintendo likely got at least six months of exclusivity on the game, if not more. With how well Sonic does on Nintendo hardware, it was probably a very easy decision for Sega to make.
Agreed. Nice to see another Gaffer right on the money.
Colors (Wii, 2010) was pretty good.
Generations (PC/360/PS3, 2011) was great, especially on PC.
The Daytime half of Unleashed (PS3/360, 2008) was also quite good, but that involves going through the Werehog parts. Might be best to skip that one, sadly.
It seems Sonic Galaxy. Maybe the Colors concept in 3D world?
agreed. Always felt Sonic should be on Nintendo consoles. I think it'd be great if Nintendo bought Sega and had all their IPs on the Nintendo control.
this would be awesome

If you have Sonic Generations on PC, the Unleashed mod lets you only play the daytime levels of that game.

Sonic exclusive to a Nintendo system
This so iro... tastic !
I can't wait to see gameplay footage. The Wii Sonic games were for the most part good.

Sonic Galaxy?
He called the 8GB GDDR5 for PS3 and no one believed him.
He also said other things related to S-E and Sony which can't be confirmed yet (E3).
Fuck, this means we won't get a PC version.
That's why I'm so mad.
Well can't say I give no fucks about the Wii-U anymore, hopefully the price drops before this game launches. I need Sonic in my veins.
Fuck, this means we won't get a PC version.
This is exactly the problem for me.
Also, it's on a platform that no one wants. I understand that they need exclusive games like this... but fuck that, I'm not a Nintendo acionist... I just wanted to play the game.

There's some kind of irony in the Wii U securing Sonic as exclusive, of all things.
But isn't that the point.. Kinda like Bayo 2.. make enough exclusive, unique games people want, then it goes from no one wanting to people wanting. I am sure that's what they hope will happen anyway.
If this comes out Fall 2013, it might mean 3D Mario Wii U might be delayed to next year.
If both released this fall? In addition to some of the other stuff Nintendo has to deliver on, the fall lineup at least might shape up to be pretty good.
Still kind of disappointing if Sony gets a new cool project which maybe Nintendo could have had.
If this sells well, Nintendo should seriously buy out Sega.

Yeah, read my post again, it's exactly what I said that I don't care. There's no way I'm buying a Wii U just because I love Sonic... it's just unrealistic, and I don't have money to bleed right now.
Sonic is literally the only game I'm interested on the platform (since I don't care about any other Nintendo game and the others I can get somewhere else).
This is obviously a moneyhat from Nintendo.
I doubt Sega just decided to make Sonic an exclusive to a console that is currently bombing harder than the GameCube.
Sonic does fine on Nintendo platforms and I believe All Star racing did best on Wii U.

perhaps it was a reverse moneyhat deal they offered sony, pay us money or its going Nintendo exclusive

PS360 Sonic Racing was outsold by the version on the platform that's currently bombing. And generally, Sonic games sell most on Nintendo consoles since... it went 3rd part, actually. Did you ever see Sonic & Mario sales? It's only natural to choose Nintendo for Sonic, and it actually is nothing special anymore, I mean there's quite a lot of Nintendo exclusive Sonic games. And it's not like they could have seen the Wii U sales coming when the project started (which should be much earlier, if it comes out in Fall)
But yes, it's a ,,moneyhat'' in a sense... I mean, it's official.
Yes, very much so. Especially on Nintendo platforms.
