Sega Moves To Quash Sonic Rumours, PS4 & Xbox One News Was "Incorrect"

Sonic Adventures 3.

Loving Lost World, by the way. Best Sonic ever.

whatever happens in 2015 I think the planned third Nintendo exclusive that was supposed to come out this year is not happening...... SEGA and Nintendo probably got dissapointed with the sales of Lost World and Mario & Sonic at the olympics

Hopefully a GOOD Sonic game. If not Nintendo and SEGA's partnership was USELESS.

Sega could teach Ubisoft a thing or two or three about damage control.

Is NL writing off todays on-going W_D trademark story as just more rampant rumour and speculation? I've seen the Wii U mentioned.

They didn't confirm or deny anything, they pretty much said stfu and wait for offical information.

Its safe to assume they are working on the Wii U exclusive (Its contract bound), and also either a multi-plat Sonic Racing sequel or multi-plat movie or series tie in game (or both).

Good for Sega here's hoping they continue to do Nintendo right!

What a wierd statement. I still think the poster is correct.

@Swiket
Pepperidge Farm remembers...

I'm sure they are aware that making it a Wii U exclusive wont do them any good.

@Yasume Well they are contractually obligated to make it exclusive. Doesn't really matter anyway since almost every 3D Sonic game after Adventure 2 Battle has had negative reception and relatively poor sales. Sega themselves said Sonic sells best on Nintendo. The Wii U's install base is what is hurting sales right now, and Sonic isn't going to sell those systems, especially with unjustified negative reviews for Lost World.

I LOVE Sonic Lost World. Hopefully the next game is as good if not better. And they better stick to contract if they know whats good for 'em

@Yasume A temporary exclusive won't do them much harm if it is any good.

@Damo - Yeah I figured it was a non-story, but it was getting a lot of coverage on google when I typed in "Watch_dogs Ubisoft". Guess I have it in for Ubi since the "weeks-before-release" Rayman delay. I really don't care that it went multiplat, they're independent, they can make games wherever they want. Timing was bad though. Sill haven't played it. not a protest, just other stuff to play now. Maybe they need another protest.

Sonic is now nintendo only then, I'm betting

@Dogpigfish you're the first person I've heard say this

Figures as much. Seeing as Sega still has a 3rd game they owe Nintendo within their deal. If it were Sonic Adventures 3 and exclusive to Wii U, that would tremendously cause a backlash bigger than Bayonetta 2 has ever seen. At the same time, Nintendo would have a killer exclusive on their hands that would be the envy of all anticipated games to make another appearance.

Still waiting on my copies of lost world and generations for the 3ds and racing transformed from Amazon, so yeah, sonic sells well on Nintendo systems

On the next sonic game, I think it will be a timed exclusive for the WiiU/3ds for a year then onto the other systems, just like resident evil revelations turned out to be.

I still think it's happening. It's 2015, and the 3-game partnership should be over by then, perfect time to make a multi-platform game for all three consoles.

There might also be a new Vita and/or 3DS Sonic game soon, too.

@readyletsgo: "On the next sonic game, I think it will be a timed exclusive for the WiiU/3ds for a year then onto the other systems" Yeah, that will probably be how it goes, or at least very similar.

Well, hopefully we'll see a Sonic Colours 2!

Did they even say the 3rd game is a sonic game???

I'm not sure they did?

I'm convinced the third exclusive will be Skies of Arcadia HD after all the GC got it exclusively when the DC went under.

This could happen... right??? Please oh lord!

@Kawaii_Neko Sonic 2 is the worst classic one (Out of 1 / 3 & Knuckles / CD). The changes to the physics from first are for the worst. The level design is not very good. Its too easy and not much fun to play. (Special Stages are good).

either that or the three exclusive nintendo games were sonic lost world wii u, lost world 3ds, and mario and sonic at the olympics

The Sony & Microsoft crowd aren't really Sonic fans. Especially after the Sonic 06 debacle.

"I'm Waitiiiiiiing!"
For more information.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOONIC
ADVENNNNTTTUUUURE
THREEEEEEEEEEEEE

Pwease SEGA. Insta preorder.

Sonic is an underrated franchise, and I can see why. SEGA is really struggling to make proper 3D Sonic game. They need to make game that is based off Sonic's gameplay from SA1. In other words, here comes the sequel fanboys!

Sequel fanboy = Someone who begs for sequels constantly and won't shut up about them.

I always thought that Nintendo and Sega's exclusive deal was his reappearance in Super Smash Bros

I would like a remake of Shadow the Hedgehog for Wii U and 3ds. That game was really awesome!

@Damo which I think makes it big news - someone successfully made a bogus claim to get Watch Dogs trademark cancelled, and now Ubi are desperately trying to get it reinstated.

@unrandomsam personally, I liked Sonic 2 the most, as it had more improvements than any other classic Sonic, I liked the level design and loved the special stages.

Its not a secret that 3D Sonic games usually disappoint, but if SEGA would actually try to make 2D Sonic, the games might sell better.

And I am actually for the idea of Nintendo & SEGA partnering up, together they could make an good, offical Sonic Adventure 3, shut up all of the fans, ending the SA3 rumors.

Of course SA4 would start up....

@SockoMario if Sega wants a killer 3D Sega game,they will need to contract the masters at 3D platformers.... I'm sure Nintendo would allow EAD Tokyo to assist...... For a small fee, and/or permanent exclusive rights.

A bit of a bummer, would've convinced me to buy a PS4 if only it was true.
That poster at the toy fair felt fake to me anyways.

@Rafie I Highly Doubt They'll Ever be a Adventure 3.

@Great_Gonzalez You and I both share the dream of soaring the skies in glorious HD my friend I have my fingers crossed!! Heck, a 3DS version of it would be cool too!

@FilmerNgameR XD

I'm so confused @_@.
I just hope they'll be able to release a GOOD sonic game again.

I'm just sad that the Sonic Lost World game seems so disappointing. Tried out the demos and I just really hate that they still prefer to use so much the homing attack mode in most levels.

There'll obviously be a XB1/PS4 game in the future but since Sonic games usually don't do as well with those crowds, I'd be surprised if weren't on the Wii U as well.

I'm hoping for Sonic Adventure 3 like many others. I still need a Wii U though if I'm gonna play these games. I like the 3DS version of Sonic Lost World but I tried the demo for the Wii U version and it feels much more awesome, though I hope they go back to the Modern Sonic (Generations) style gameplay or even a modernized Sonic Adventure 1 style for future games. All in all, keep on giving us the awesome Sonic games we always love~

I just love Sonic series so all of them is a must have for me. I hope that it´s gonna be an exclusive one on the Wii U or 3DS as it should be Sonic´s home nowadays.

I remember Sonic Colors, what happened to that?

@B3ND3R I sense we could become great friends oh fellow air pirate!
