What is Project Needlemouse?

Xbox Live / PSN makes sense.

No it doesn't, and you know it too.

Sonic has always sold much, much better on Wii than on 360 and PS3 (often combined even).

If they want it to be a DLC game then yes... Xbox Live and PSN makes sense.

If they want to rake in the money they should make it for Wii.

I would think, also, that if they were making it a downloadable game, that's not going to do what they want (namely, bring Sonic back to a stronger market relevance). Downloadable games can be good for a franchise, especially for nostalgia purposes (Megaman 9), but dl gaming is still the scrubs of gaming.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Didn't they comment on sales of games they've already released on XBL/PSN?

"And the old versions of Sonic games are selling very well on these platforms, so there’s a real market for these kinds of products."

Seems like they're comfortable with the possible sales they'd get with the just XBL/PSN. I'm sure if they could release it on WiiWare they will, but perhaps just focusing on what they want to make and not being restricted with the WiiWare size limit is fine if they think XBL/PSN sales will suffice.



4 ≈ One

Aren't they releasing some SEGA digital distribution arcade store type thing?

Maybe this will try to get people to use their system.



Dude....I DONT CARE HOW IT GETS HERE...just do it, Ive been craving a classic/Mondern hybrid for SONIC.



Around the Network

Should be interesting, definitely looking forward to how this game shapes up. Still, not putting it on a Nintendo platform would be very silly business wise... seeing as Unleashed just passed a million on Wii a few weeks ago (not to mention Secret Rings which is over 2 million).

Still, I'll be getting it no matter what. Can't wait!



i hope not... i want a full fledged sonic game that feels like the old days.
if its downloadable i don't think it will be that big and im getting short of PSN cards =[



why when ppl here DL only...they think cheap or less of the game?

i know you are talking about me.

so heres me answer, i meant the game wont get the big hit like the old days, alot of the Sonic fans can't download games.

why new comers would get it if they saw it. (cause of the lack of mascots lately)



Im actually not takin directly to you, but you did prompt the question. Ive seen this at least 100x, I just do get why ppl see it that way considering games like Tekken 5 DR, Warhawk, SFHD all exist on PSN
