FROM KIKIZO

Toshihiro Nagoshi, General Manager, Creative Center, Sega

Kikizo: People have been asking about a conversion of Spikeout for a long time. What made you finally decide to bring it to Xbox?

Nagoshi: Well we chose Xbox because it was the perfect choice in terms of the functionality in of the hardware for the contents of the game, which includes both real-time and multi fighter battles.

Kikizo: There have been several versions of the game in the past including Spikeout, Slashout, and Spikeout Final Edition. Is this version based on any particular one of those or a new game based loosely on the original?

Nagoshi: This is something totally new. We have a new scenario here where the background has seen ten years pass in terms of the characters and story since the Final Edition.

Kikizo: I am pretty certain that the was going to be a version of Spikeout released on Dreamcast, but obviously it never saw the light of day outside Sega's office, why was that the case?

Nothing about Virtua Striker 4?

Kikizo: Mr Nagoshi, are you interested in ever making another game with monkeys again?

Nagoshi: [Laughs] We are working on it!

You big tease.

Nagoshi: [Laughs] We are working on it!

... as in we actually are making a new Monkeyball game, or we are thinking about making one?

 

[neptunes]

I think they're making another monkey ball game

 

[WarPig]

They're making a new Monkey Ball game. When we asked him about that at E3, there was a huge kerfluffle with the PR people around him before he said "we can't talk about that" or somesuch.

It's unfortunate that nobody will ever be able to ask the most important SpikeOut question, which is "why does the Xbox version look like plump ass?"

DFS.

Hopefully two. The second a DS version with a virtual trackball that plays like marble madness.

Well, why didn't you ask him that at E3? It would have been swell if the original SpikeOut would have been included as an unlockable bonus. I hope the game turns out well and all, but I don't think it's going to gather up enough sales to have the other SpikeOut games green lighted for updates/ports.

No mention of DAYTONA ....sigh

still nice interview, thanks for posting it

 

[GigaDrive]

I should say, no mention of a new Daytona as the original was mentioned in the article.

 

[ourumov]

He is a nice guy. IMO it should be hired by Nintendo now.

 

[isamu]

so it's safe to say he's forgotten all about his beloved Daytona USA franchise?

DUDE, ffs!!! It is *not* acceptable to post another site's entire interview, surely?!

ESPECIALLY without link! http://games.kikizo.com/features/sega_av_interview_july04.asp

Thanks for posting it and everything...

...but GAF mods... surely this is BS? I mean the original piece contained extra comment and everything, and GAF rules state that verbatim Ctrl+V action is totallty forbidden. This is well unfair on the site that worked for those interviews originaly, methinks.

 

[Kudie]

Its great to hear they are making a new Monkey Ball game. I assume its for GC.

Well Super Monkey ball deluxe is scheduled for PS2, whatever that is.

 

[Kudie]

Well Super Monkey ball deluxe is scheduled for PS2, whatever that is.

Probably similar to what Sega/Sammy has decided to do with Sonic Mega Collection; re-lease an enhanced ver. of a GC game for the PS2.

With this in mind, SMB deluxe might be a collection of SMB1 and SMB2 for PS2.

 

[Mashing]

If they release SMB on PS2, they better bundle it with a gamecube controller adapter.... for obvious reasons

 

[GigaDrive]

does ffs mean for fucks sake ?

 

[Jonnyboy117]

Nothing about Virtua Striker 4?

No one cares.

 

[Greekboy]

No one cares.

Very niche game that people either love or hate. VS3 is easily the most played game on my GCN....by far.

 

[sasimirobot]

Lisa> hello2U! (hmmmm)

 

[KyotoMecca]

No mention of DAYTONA ....sigh

still nice interview, thanks for posting it

And thanks to Kikizo for posting it too?

New Daytona is supposedly in development on Sega's new arcade board along with VF5.

 

[COCKLES]

And the concrete sets on the foundations of 2004 - THE YEAR OF TEH XBOX! tm

Nothing about Virtua Striker 4?

The team moved to Smilebit when the previous development reorganisation took place, same time as the non-sports Smilebit teams went to AV.

Sorry about that KyotoMecca.

Hmmm. So is AV doing VS4 or is Smilebit? Now I'm confused.

Hi sasimirobot. *mwaaah*

 

[GigaDrive]

yep I saw that rumor. hope its true. if it is true, then I could imagine it could be ported to one or more of the new consoles. but i'm not holding much hope for that to happen.

 

[Shinobi]

Boy, I don't know...I still think Daytona is a bit of a pipe dream. EA will charge a very pretty penny for Sega to use that name just for the arcade version, nevermind any home versions that may or may not follow. Then again I've been convinced that Sega Rally 3 is gonna drop any day now (a train I've been on for three years), so WTF do I know? Shoot, maybe they'll just rename it "Days of Thunder" or "Super Stock Car!" or "Billboards on Wheels!", or something.

 

[Hotsuma]

They should name Daytona 3 "Here it is! Now STFU!"

 

[jarrod]

Hmmm. So is AV doing VS4 or is Smilebit? Now I'm confused.

Hi sasimirobot. *mwaaah*

The VS team is now at Smilebit, who will be producing Virtua Striker 4. Similar to how once the JSR team moved to Amuement Vision, Ollie King was released under that label.

 

[GigaDrive]

lol

 

[isamu]

maybe they'll just rename it "Days of Thunder" or "Super Stock Car!" or "Billboards on Wheels!", or something.

RotfL @ "Days of Thunder" & "Billboards on Wheels!" !!!
