I always felt like if a S̶a̶m̶u̶r̶a̶i̶ ̶W̶a̶r̶i̶o̶s̶  Mario Warriors spinoff were made, it should star Bowser, or at least feature he and his faction as playables.

It may be in Mario's nature to plow through thousands of enemies with fire or a hammer, but since Hyrule Warriors had soldiers fighting alongside, I don't see the same thing happening with Mario commanding a whole battalion of Toads. The Mushroom Kingdom isn't really know for having any military force like Hyrule does, I mean, why do you think Bowser can take Peach so easily and frequently? Sure, a handful of Toads are brave enough to fight, but most of them are pacifistic and incompetent (although the sports they host are fiercely violent). But hey, I didn't see Mario wielding an arm cannon or turning into a photo-realistic dinosaur, so what do I know?

It's just that Bowser sticks out better in terms of the whole leading an army through field, even if any main character's a one man army as is. Though it's mostly cause that would scratch my itch for wanting Bowser to get his own game

If "put up or shut up" scared him away were better off

Nah he’s been doing that for a while

He's been doing Nintendo leaks well before all this jazz.

Nintendo fans scared him away first so he started focusing on Sonic leaks, and now he's running back to Nintendo when we started to rat him out

Get back to where you once belong

He’s still on the Tailschannel discord so he never really left

oh no

anyway

Already has a port on the 3DS though. It kinda seems that Nintendo has a policy of not bringing their Wii console games they already ported to the 3DS over to Switch (besides Returns, Kirby’s Epic Yarn is another).

Xenoblade Chronicles is an exception, and even then that game was a New 3DS exclusive, so it doesn’t work on all 3DS handhelds. If I’m forgetting some, let me know.

They ported returns to the Nvidia shield so there’s no reason for them not to do it 

inb4 "too many ports that're taking time away from totally new games"

Ok Arlo 

Well on the bright side, they eventually did add full blown online for that game if that means anything.

And it only took'em two and a half years for something so basic

He definitely seems to enjoy being more hands on then his position usually allows.

Sega’s main source of revenue is games, therefore fangames profiting from their IP is a bigger threat to them.

It means they get to send an email with a zip file to the special inbox.

It means that you made wonderful friends along the way.

I think the real question here should be "why are Sonic fans so pestimistic?"

I'll get the newspaper.

"Why are Sonic fans so pessimistic?"

Oh sweetie...

People still actually ask this?

You’d think it’d be common knowledge why after more than a decade.

"You could not live with your lack of news. Where did that bring you?" 

*Sonic Boom turns to everyone*

"Back to me".

this is simply facts.

I mean, they never delivered on the "soon" part of the statement.

And that sign is STILL there. See you in 2026.

Knowing the origin of scene of it's full context is incredibly hilarious. 

Zips should quit "leaking" Sonic while he's ahead and jump on other trends in leaks like the "Samus in Fortnite" fiasco. Surely safer than trying to defend the info he "found" everytime SEGA throws him a curveball.

He should keep posting old promotional images for already-released games as if they are brand new and proof he found that a new game announcement is imminent.

Dude fed info to a mob desperate for news for months and it came back to bite him lol

Even if he ends up right with his sources / predictions (extreme ultra doubt at this point unfortunately) i think the breadcrumb trailing and forcing people to heighten their expectations with nothing more than a "dude trust me" + actual smack back for even asking for a reason to believe will have everyone looking down on this eventually

Assuming that he believes the information that he's posting, he's breaking trust somewhere by leaking information and doing so only to score himself internet points. His attitude makes his claims seem that much harder to believe.

Whether he's wrong or right, Zippo stretched himself thin trying to justify his leaks.

We're just along for the ride now, including Zippo.

Even if he's right, all the super vague information and leading people on by claiming he'll "add more information later" makes it really hard for me to believe anything he says. Either be upfront about the info you have or don't say anything at all.

Yeah... I saw that number and immediately thought "shit, is that it?" Didn't Skylanders hit $1B in two games?

Yeah, we're not comparing like for like here, but I thought Sonic would have done better than that in like almost 30 years now with dozens of games.

Bitch, Avengers alone made 2 billions in a few months

My guess is, they had plans initially, but COVID significantly pushed things back past the point of being feasible for the show.

Sonic Prime, probably

Were they really gonna show of or tease a game that was at least a year and a half away? Or Sonic Prime, which probably also was gonna come out in 2021 at the earliest, probably without any art or anything to go with it, just like the actual reveal of it went? It strikes me as kinda odd, ngl.

I'd like to think they were gonna meme it up and carry on with being generally annoying/business as usual, but got enough backlash to read the room and completely rethink their approach.

No idea what else it could have been. 

Colours Ultimate is my guess.

Probably got delayed hard due to the pandemic, pushed back to this year both because of the difficulties of the pandemic and to fill the gap left by the delay of whatever other game(s) they're working on.

Also, maybe that rumoured "Sonic collection"

inb4 just Sonic 1 & 2.

Theoretically they had some kind of introductory teaser trailers for either the new 2d or 3d game!!

(i am sure that the memory of how this is what they did for Mania and Forces is shaping this guess for me!)

as you are saying that would have been odd, but i guess they were thinking it would stand out more at SxSW compared to waiting until e3 etc!

As of today, I honestly don’t think they had anything major to unveil at all. Was probably just another meet-and-greet with the Sonic community and little else beyond merchandise news like in 2019.

The fact they never really were able to commit to a replacement event over a year later (while other affected developers/publishers were able to adjust to the pandemic with their own backup events) convinces me of the above, personally.

Where is this coming from???

A friend of mine and me watched old Spidey movies and that made me remember the name they gave the Sony spin-off series universe with Venom, Carnage etc.

Is that an official name? XD

Yep. If the variety of Zones is right, of course. not like forces..

I think that uploading the music tracks was a great idea. Especially when you look at the crazy number of views that the Forces music got. It's something that people will keep going back to and will remember. It's almost like getting a piece of the game early.

Making music almost the only thing they were showing off was a bad idea though. It just got annoying. And I'd almost forgive people for thinking that TSR was an album. It felt like all SEGA were interested in was the music.

Love how most of it is people never forgiving them for what they did lol. Good. If ya let things go we'd still have the old Sonic movie design lol. Should never forget this atrocity.

You realize the people running the Twitter aren't the developers right?

Of course it's not the twitters fault. Still if you let things go they either happen again or remain unsolved. Would have still had the old Sonic movie design if people just let that go.

There was a difference tho, because those complaints were literally covered by public news outlets. Sonic's design went far beyond fandom discourse, it was a public issue.

Things like Characterization and writing are mainly fandom issues unless its something genuinely offensive to the public.

I don't think that public news outlets would even cover it if it wasn't such a big issue to begin with from fans.

I also don't believe anyone is attacking the twitter handler but rather pointing out irony of celebrating someone they believe has been let down by creative. The reason it's never ending as they want the message to remain in the minds of others as well as have hope this is shared with someone more important who can change things.

I can see how some people can find it annoying, but on the other hand you can't really make change without making sure the voices never die down. 

Which rumor?

@mayday2592 NetherRealm Studios developing a new Marvel fighting game.

Will probably be better than Forces but still kinda meh

Pretty much down to my last chance with Sonic this time-- Well hundreds might've said that yet still buy the new games. With all the supposed in house remodeling and the new game shows enough signs that SEGA has learned absolutely nothing-- that's when I bail. Except often times each new game tries out something that looks remotely unique and enetertaining in theory- So what would the next game have to offer at this point?

hopefully that'll kill off the franchise for good.

I don't think I've ever heard the term "wet fart" fit something so perfectly as a descriptor as it does Forces.

Does this mean that we will finally get some news about the new Sonic games?

It just means they'll be at E3 in some form. It doesn't mean they're gonna show Sonic stuff. But after all this time, it seems rather likely, I'd say. At least the Colors Remaster thing.

If i have to hazard a guess the bulk of the lineup might be Sonic, the next thing the Yakuza team is working on, an Atlus lineup and maybe stuff tied to their PC exclusives (as in, Football Manager and Total War). Anything else might just be speculation.

Apparently that list is innacurate and was last updated in 2019

So yeah, continue suffering
