A new Sonic platformer, a REAL Mario n Sonic game, and another Ecco the Dolphin game plz!


I think we can safely rule out that possibility (Ecco).

The game has been pitched to SEGA and refused. The creator of Ecco went with a kickstarter for the game and since he cant use the licence he called it "the big blue". Last i saw the kickstarter wasnt going so well so i think thats something we can forget. No chance at all anymore.

Ah here it is... they are making a small game cause the kickstarter failed to get the mone necessary. At least its something. :)

^Does the Gamepad have Gyro/tilt sensing (idk what it's called)? If so I could see a game where you tilt the gamepad to roll the monkeys around.


Yes, it has an accelerometer, gyroscope and a magnetometer to enable high quality gesture control.

Assuming you mean what I think you mean, how the hell do you reconcile two fundamentally different platformers to make one? How could this not devolve into either a Mario game with a hedgehog in it or a Sonic game that gives Tails overalls?

I heard about that kickstarter thing but did not know the creator was behind it. I still don't get why Sega refuses to make an official sequel but ahwells. I'll still hope and dream. :L

Cewlness, then hopefully Sega will utilise this in their next Monkeyball game.

Well that's for the developers to figure out hehe, but the simplest way I can think of would be to do what Generations did only instead of Classic Sonic there's Mario.

Sorry for triple post! I can't copy-paste quotes on the PS3. =[
