Hopefully he won't be garbage this time around. Character had no fucking priority in Brawl, playing against my bro a Meta-Knight main was a nightmare.

Well Meta Knight is the Super Turbo Akuma of the game, so no shocker there. Sonic's main problem was his lack of killing blows. He has his back-air, forward smash...and that's it.

 

[LTWheels]

After playing Transformed, I never want to touch Mario Kart again.

 

[Forkball]

I'm surprised we never got a Mario + Sonic platformer as it's own side series. I think there could be a lot you could do with that.

 

[Horseticuffs]

Shit is gettin' real if this is truth. Really, this idea is a match made in heaven!

 

[Plinko]

Oh my goodness this would be amazing.

 

[RPGamer92]

What if it's just Sonic in Mario Kart U?

 

[enzo_gt]

Holy shit.

I hope Sumo Digital is developing and not Nintendo.

 

[akidnamededdy]

So... this all leading up to a crossover platformer, right?


... Right?

It's gotta be...it's just gotta....

 

[Linkstrikesback]

What if it's just Sonic in Mario Kart U?

Even if it was, sumo digital guy knowing about it would suggest that they're (Sumo digital) are in on it, and thats the real good news here.

 

[Seven Force]

Post MKDS Mario Kart games have been stale as hell in my opinion, so this would be a welcome collaboration in my book, especially after how well Transformed turned out.

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

Nintendo x Sega Racing. I'd love that.

 

[Frost_Ace]

This could be good.

 

[Galang]

This could be the shake up the series has long needed. I'm all for it

 

[Kevtones]

Okay this would be FUCKING GREAT.

 

[Holy Order Sol]

This could be the shake up the series has long needed. I'm all for it

It needs to be fast before it needs any kind of shake-up.

 

[Coolwhip]

My theory:

Next Sonic All Stars will feature all kinds of Nintendo characters that you wont find in Mario Kart.

Maybe Sega and Nintendo All Star Racing?

 

[BGBW]

No thanks, I don't need 30fps F-Zero.

Couldn't this also be said for MK? MK's goal is to be 60fps.

 

[Magicpaint]

My theory:

Next Sonic All Stars will feature all kinds of Nintendo characters that you wont find in Mario Kart.

Maybe Sega and Nintendo All Star Racing?

Hopefully that is what it'll be.

 

[Freezie KO]

I like how you condemn Sonic's shitty friends and opine for Wiggler and Shy Guy in the same breath.

Wiggler and Shy Guy have been in good games though.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Wiggler and Shy Guy have been in good games though.

Most of the extended Sonic cast was in Generations

not sure about your logic here

 

[Beetleking11]

Meh Sonic x Nintendo.. How about Nintendo All star racing???

 

[SquiddyCracker]

Probably just Mario Kart 8 with Sonic characters surely?
Would be a bit weird to release a Mario kart, and then a Mario+Sonic kart.

 

[beta_fuse]

Just received my copy of Transformed from Amazon so I'll be playing it all weekend to see what the fuss is all about. My first gut feeling was that I'd prefer Mario Kart stay strictly within the Mario universe. However, hopefully I enjoy Sonic Racing enough this weekend so those initial feelings of mine change.

 

[KingSnake]

My theory:

Next Sonic All Stars will feature all kinds of Nintendo characters that you wont find in Mario Kart.

Maybe Sega and Nintendo All Star Racing?

I like this idea! Mario Kart 8 this year and Sega and Nintendo All Star Racing next year. In the end ... two epic kart games, each with its own style.

 

[CDX]

If it's Sumo making the Mario Kart 8, or just Mario appearing in the next Sonic Racing game

Whatever it exactly is I hope it's 60fps.

Mario Karts have been pretty great about being 60fps. The Sonic Racing games @ 60fps on PCs are great. It's a real shame that 60fps wasn't a priority for the console Sonic Racing games.

 

[Dusk Golem]

Making a "Sonic & Nintendo All-Stars Racing" sort of deal wouldn't be bad at all, actually.

And they probably would use Sonic rather than SEGA, too.

 

[Revven]

I would be floored by this announcement, no joke. I loved Transformed (plan to go back to playing it soonish, been away from it for too long) and I also love Mario Kart. A merging of the two games, with characters from both would be a dream come true.

PLS don't just be Sonic as a guest character in Mario Kart and Mario as a guest character in the next All Stars Racing game. ;_;

 

[Dead Man Typing]

Would buy day 1. Will probably buy whatever SUMO are working on Day 1 regardless of what it is.

Also, Sonic x Mario platformer please. Year of Sonic x Mario!

 

[lunchwithyuzo]

Couldn't this also be said for MK? MK's goal is to be 60fps.

Yes, it could. Sumo Digital has trouble holding 30fps even really, they don't have the right priorities for either Mario Kart or F-Zero. Maybe they could do Wave Race though, that seems better suited their sort of course design too.

 

[Akibastman]

This will be the first bad Mario Kart.

 

[lunchwithyuzo]

This will be the first bad Mario Kart.

Namco beat Sega to the punch for once.

 

[Glorified G]

please be 60fps

 

[Dusk Golem]

This will be the first bad Mario Kart.

You obviously haven't played Sonic Racing Transformed.

 

[Aostia]

I think this would be separate.

I think so, too.
well, would be weird but interesting, more than the olimpic games for sure.
they just need to spread the kart games through the lifecycle of the console.
all star was 12, kart will be 13, this should eventually be 14 or rvrn better early 15

 

[Kazerei]

Oh my, this Nintendo/Sega partnership is like my childhood dream come true

 

[LiquidMetal14]

please be 60fps

I don't see a reason why not. The art in the MK or Sonic racers is good enough and colorful. They just need to design it with 60fps in mind.

 

[Azure J]

You are not alone on this.

I seriously need to grab Transformed.

 

[King_Moc]

Features wise, Sumo would do a great job but the mechanics of Sonic Transformed paled in comparison to MK. And the frame rate was bad too. So maybe some sort of collaboration?

 

[Beermeister]

The third Sonic Wii U game might be Sonic vs. Mario Kart.

Oh god, please no!

 

[ChronoX]

Mario Kart x Sonic and All-Stars Racing Transformed x Crash Team Racing x F1 Race Stars. Make it happen Nintendo!

 

[Gartooth]

Heck if they are thinking about doing a Mario and Sonic racing game, they should just go the full way and do Nintendo vs. Sega. (given that the Sonic racers already include other Sega characters)

 

[Shinta]

If it's Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed vs. Mario Kart, this is the biggest megaton of our age.

 

[Byronic Hero]

Sonic/Mario Kart Racer with MK's game engine would be sublime. Allstars Racing & Transformed always felt a bit too floaty and loose for my taste. And the items were pretty sucky, never really felt like they were hitting me and making me genuinely lose the race, more like I got hit by a random stage hazard that I didn't see.

 

[Kusagari]

This will be the first bad Mario Kart.

Super Circuit already exists.

 

[Why would you do that?]

You know what it probably is? A new Transformed game, but Mario is an exclusive character for the Wii U version. Like Little Mac in Fight Night or Mario and Luigi in SSX. Nothing more.

It could also be Mario as DLC for Sonic Transformed on Wii U.

This is to not get my hopes up. lol

 

[WillyFive]

Super Circuit already exists.

What? Of all MK's, that's a pretty random choice.

 

[Magicpaint]

Super Circuit already exists.

It was good though.

 

[daakusedo]

I'm anticipating mk8 cause of the awesome mk7, you're killing me with your sumo doing it speculation! Even if I know it can't be that. Even though it was sega racing 3 or more precisely sega&nintendo racing, if it keeps the serie gameplay, I'm still not in.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Sonic and Mario All Stars Racing

I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

 

[JavyOO7]

I'd rather EAD make a new MK. I did not like the last Sonig racing game that game out on Wii U after I played the demo. Maybe playing the full game might change my stance. Never been a big Sega fan personally even though I think Sonic is alright. I just did not like the controls for Sonic Racing Transformed. And I personally feel MK7 while a bit rushed was still great with its course design and the online community stuff it has.

So if Sumo does develop a MK I'd probably sit it out. Don't like the idea at all.
