Yes, that "Project Needlemouse" thing was revealed not long ago. It's episodic and download-only, for PSN, XBLA, WiiWare, and one unrevealed platform. The official site has the short reveal trailer:
Just a couple seconds of gameplay there, but it looks okay... definitely could be good. We'll see how long it is, though, considering that it's episodic, and how well it stands up to the Genesis games... they've made some attempts at 2d Sonic since then, such as Sonic Advance, Sonic Rush, etc, but while they've often been okay, they don't quite match the originals. What kind of levels will these games have, design-wise? We'll see...
Sega does have an interesting problem with Sonic games. On the one hand, many young kids like the modern Sonic games and don't mind the friends or that the games are mostly mediocre now. On the other hand, the longtime fans mostly hate the direction that the series has gone in, but considering that kids make up a big chunk of the Sonic audience, would aiming a game just at the hardcore make any sense? Probably not. This is obviously the compromise then, something trying to reach back to the originals, but clearly not on with the same kind of budget as the major Sonic titles. And while there have been a bunch of handheld Sonic games on handhelds over the past decade, there haven't been any on major consoles unless you count that Wii game... which is okay I guess, haven't played it. But anyway, check out the site, the game looks like it could be good.
Google just told me to row across the Atlantic in a kiacak for 183 days. I told it I wanted to walk to china..
It's funny how out of control heuristic learning can get, particularly in Googles case.
Btw, I wonder why out of all the boats in the world it chose a kiacak.. Lol.. It's kind of a random boat choice. And Google want's me to row there?? It litterly said row in a kiacak! That's funny as shit you have to admit. Why not a speed boat or a sail boat? It's like the search engine has it in for me!
I would give anything to work at Google, it's obvious that corporate their has a pretty good since of humor. Must be fun to get away with fucking with people like that.
Quote:Three analysts speculate that for the near future no new consoles will be released. Colin Sebastian and David Cole state that by 2012, Microsoft and Nintendo will release new consoles. Michael Pachter disagrees and says with the exception of an upgrade to the Wii, software developers will not support new consoles due to the costs of producing content. All three agree that the earliest for a new Sony console would be 2014, Wikipedia~
So it seems that Gen7 will have a longer run then the previous generations,It will sort of be like a repeat of the 2nd generation back in the 1980's.
I've just bought a wii and it wasn't easy finding a store that still had hardware in stock given how well its selling, I am having a trouble finding the New super mario bros as well.
On just about every network on TV, their logo seems to have a crown on it. What the heck is going on? Is a new king being coronated? Is a new Kingdom Hearts game coming out?
I tried searching in some search engines, but that doesn't help. "Crown on logo" just gets me a bunch of Hallmark stuff.
