Topic: Has probably been asked already but Sonic on WiiWare Y not

Why Can't Sega make a WiiWare Sonic game i mean if people demanded it like MegaMan9 it could happen what do you guys think?

Another Tails fan like me? great!
Short answer: Sega doesn't know whats good for them.
Long answer: Sega KNOWS whats good for them, but just doesn't care. While Dimps were making them, the handheld Sonic games were very good, and likely more profitable than a downloadable game would be. Its not just that they aren't making a normal Sonic game for Wiiware/PSN/XBLA, its that they aren't making ANY normal sonic games. Unleashed was close, but they seem to enjoy shooting themselves in the foot with unnecessary additions like werehogs.

Absoutely! Sega can and should make a 2D Sega Genesis-styled Sonic game for WiiWare. But the problem is Sega dosen't want to obvisouly. Instead Sega wants to make Sonic games like Sonic Unleashed and Sonic and the Black Knight. Yeah,that's real smart Sega.

Well i mean make something like it could be with all the characters hopefully tails & i wish they gave Tails a action game i mean seriously i want Tails in something alone its segas fault for turning tails wimpy he could do good against sonic in a brawl i mean when was last time tails went super or better yet hyper i mean come on!

never gone hyper, gone super on his own once (sonic3&k). when was the last time he was playable on his own in a normal manner? console: Sonic adventure, Handheld: Sonic Advance 2.
I wish they could revisit the style of the original and Advance series. I miss the elemental shields and the Chao Garden.

well it would prob b better than all da sonic games that have come out 4 wii the both of them i didnt like @ all

I agree, it should be programmed using the mega drives limitations, and the only characters allowed should be Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Robotnik (NOT Eggman, Robotnik) AND NOBODY TALKS FFS!

2D Sonic would be best, with no gimmicks just straight to the platforming with minimal to no storyline, with a sub boss and main boss per level that would be ideal.

Sub-Bosses!! I miss those.
I would like to go back to those three, but I might actually appreciate starting with them and having the option to purchase a FEW additional ones (Amy, Cream, Shadow, or maybe Blaze). Kind of like Protoman in MegaMan 9.

We should keep a running list of what could return, looking at the advance series to start.

Tails has 2 of his own games for the Game Gear (playable of Gems Collection). Tails' Adventure (a platformer/RPG/adventure game, very good) and Tails' Sky Patrol (an on-rails thing, not very good).

What I want? A new Sonic game for WiiWare which is just like Sonic 3 and Knuckles, but different, if you know what I mean. Same 16 bit graphics, same engine, same core gameplay but with different zones, enemies and bosses. There should be little storyline it being 'oh no! Robotnik has stole the Chaos Emeralds! Go get them back!', no dialogue, and the only characters should be Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Robotnik. Maybe Amy too since I liked her in Sonic Advance.

Haha I posted a message exactly like this on another website's forum...

I want a retro-styled Sonic on WiiWare like MM9. That would be really cool

Sonic? yes. Retro style? No.

@WhoKnew - Why not? A retro styled Sonic would be soo AWSOME!! And plus the retro Sonic games were the best!

^^ What Lode Runner said.

I have been a fan of Sonic since the first for Genesis, and I can honestly say that I like all styles of Sonic games. If I weren't a 25 year old grown man with a wife I'd totally have the Sonic Unleashed cover as a huge poster in my room lol. I love the werehog. Now, make sonic a zombie.

Oh, I forgot to post my point.

Retro for Wii Ware, Retail for "New Styles" (See: Gimmicks)

Sonic needs a revival. Why did SEGA make Werehog? it makes no senses, I don't mind the character but he in Sonic Unleashed, he is sloooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwww. IT HAS NO FREAKING PURPOSE IN A SONIC GAME!!!!!! Still, they should make a Sonic game that is like Sonic 3 & Knuckles, or Sonic 2 or Sonic 1

I've been hoping for Retro Sonic on Wiiware since MM9 came out. Have you all seen or played Sonic XG? (Fan-made game). Something like that would be what I'm looking for if they had multi-tiered levels.
Please listen Sega! D:

I wouldn't mind a DS style 2.5D version, ideally though I'd like it in 2D with Sonic 3 style levels and power ups, I'd like it to have special stages for collecting emeralds, and the ability to turn into Super Sonic, also rather than have multiple characters I'd rather they where released chapter style, so a different version per character with the levels being designed around each specific character, with their own unique abilities in mind, rather than simply have them all play the same levels with the odd minor difference.

Not gonna happen, Sonic is dead and he'll need a miracle to revive himself.
BUT, I heard rumours about a SA1 remake for the (next-gen)consoles.
I hope for SEGA's sake, it's not a werehog with a sword!!!!
Still, it's just a rumour so we'll have to wait until the next Sonic game (NOT Sega All-star Racing, more crap) and then we get either a confirmation of his dead, or a miracle.

this is the best idea ive heard yet, and sega seems to care lately about its forgotten franchises like NiGHTS and Samba de Amigo, so a Sonic 4 would b a no-brainer
