Gaming - Sega and Sonic? - View Post

I didn't know so many people disliked the Sonic games. I feel a bit surprised to be hones. The first three games in the series I have nothing but love for, they are great platformers, and especially the 2nd one.

On topic, I believe that Nintendo could actually turn this into a successful franchise again, but as other have stated Nintendo doesn't really need it.

I think that MS would benefit more from a purchase, they would have a pretty strong IP for a platformer, most people know of Sonic since before. But if MS could make Sonic good or not I don't know. But perhaps Rare could work on both Banjo and Sonic.

Sony also don't really need Sonic, but I think they could do a good job with the franchise as well.

Sonic definitely has a strong brand awareness. My mother surprised me the other day saying that a guy with spiked hair on the back of his head "looked like Sonic".

I would love if Nintendo got the rights to Sonic because it would finally mean more good Sonic games. But I think Sonic is worth too much for Sega to sell.
