Partnership = Worse ending than Wii U's Holiday Sales.

Missed opportunity to make something great and revive the Sonic franchise. Seemed like it was not taken seriously on both parties account.

I call it further evidence that Sega just needs to offer itself to Nintendo, get Nintendo to buy them out completely. Sonic has consistently done better on Nintendo systems (obviously that's after accounting for wildly different install bases, and only in contexts of the same game), but has failed to really thrive because Sega doesn't seem to know how to do proper QA... which is a field in which Nintendo excels.

My verdict is thus that this has proven that Sega shouldn't be a third-party developer anymore. If they can't manage their biggest IP on the platform on which it has the best chance, and instead rush out half-finished products, they need to be put under the thumb of people who know how to manage these things.

Agreed.

Yeap, should be more Nintendo developes the Sonic Franchise :p

Then train wreck would have to change his name to Katrina05 to stay accurate on the level of Sonic franchise devastation.

Can't wait to see the Nintendo-themed DLC for Rise of Lyric!

(Eh, we got Sonic back in Smash Bros.)

Id love nintendo to have a crack at sonic. Or prehaps we should get a proper sonic/mario crossover game and obliterate what was left of the 90s.

Sonic+Megaman+Pacman only relevant when Nintendo makes a game featuring them :0

Thouh i hope Generations style comes back!
