Funny how they talk about the handheld market considering that as I just bought a GBA Micro as I havent bought a Nintendo product since the SNES.

Sonic Speeds to Revolution
Matt Casamassina - IGN


    Sources close to SEGA have told IGN Revolution that the developer is working on a new entry into the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise for Nintendo's next generation console. The title, purportedly developed by a "top-tier" SEGA team led by Yuji Naka, will not be a port of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 game tentatively dubbed "Sonic the Hedgehog [next gen]." Instead, say insiders, it is an entirely original effort designed from the ground up to take advantage of Revolution's unique controller. No further details are available at this time.

    While it's easy to shrug this news off as a no-brainer, it is nevertheless an important development because it suggests that powerhouse publishers are thinking about ways to make innovative games on Nintendo's upcoming platform rather than just porting over dumbed down versions of their Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 projects. Furthermore, one source we spoke with alleged that they have known about a Revolution Sonic the Hedgehog game for at least two months, which indicates that it isn't a freshly hatched concept. We're keeping our fingers crossed that something might show at E3 2006, which explodes this May in Los Angeles.

    More than a decade ago, SEGA and Nintendo were big rivals, but in recent times the companies have enjoyed a fruitful partnership. Sonic Team chose to make GameCube the official home of its hedgehog mascot, releasing ports of its hit Dreamcast titles as well as wholly original Sonic efforts for the system. Meanwhile, Nintendo contracted SEGA developers like Amusement Vision to co-create GCN efforts such as F-Zero GX. The Big N's own Shigeru Miyamoto even entertained the idea of a mascot cross-over, in which Sonic could partner or square off against stars including Mario or Luigi. It is, therefore, not surprising that SEGA would continue to throw extra support Nintendo's way.

    When contacted, SEGA would not confirm that such a project is underway.

    "SEGA has not announced its official plans to support Revolution," a spokesperson for the company told us. "We are committed to creating great game content for all viable platforms, so when Revolution rolls out, it would be a safe bet to assume that we will be there."

    IGN Revolution reminds readers that this information could not yet be substantiated and therefore should not be taken as an official confirmation.

Now the real question remains: Will I be able to unlock Sonic as a character for Super Smash Brothers Revolution? Please?!?

Sonic, Knuckles, Shadow and Tails. Maybe the Doc. Might as well get 'em all in there.

I still want Mega Man, dammit.

DA-AMN. A new sequel has always been improbable because of the perfection of the game (same goes for Mario Kart Super Circuit, as far as I'm concerned), but with Megaman in it, I might buy it again.
