carra Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 I thought about April fools, but aparently the news is already at Sega Europe: http://www.sega-europe.com/en/NewsStory/1489.htm The game seems to be for DS and WII BTW, if this is true, Sonic is vere very close to being at Smash Bros Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobaltstarfire Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Looks like they took Sonic back to his older style a bit,which is kind of nice. :3 Doubt I'd get it just cause sports games aren't my thing, but it's cool (and a little twilight zoneish?) to see the characters mixing it up in the same game.

watkinzez Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 With each new Wii title unveiled, I continue to get the sinking feeling that I bought the wrong system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kureejii Lea Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Looks like they took Sonic back to his older style a bit,which is kind of nice. Older? That's pretty much the way he's looked in the last few games... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobaltstarfire Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Older? That's pretty much the way he's looked in the last few games... The last few sonic games I played didn't have a squished up chibi-ish looking sonic in them if I remember correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arek the Absolute Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 This is worse than ocr's april fools joke last year. Both are shitty in quality, and you are a bit on the "internet is srs biznes" side if you believe them. With that note, I am hoping the joke for april fools this year at ocr is on par with 05. 05 was just fucking brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The EA joke was by far one of the best things this site has ever done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arek the Absolute Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Also, nintendo isn't stupid enough to have this of all games be the one where they both face off. Smash, if anything, will be the one where you see these two icons square off for the first time. Ah....earemix. God that was great. Gendisc was eating it up, and unmod was having a blast in it's own way too. All around a beautiful day. EVERYONE got involved, and there was no drama, save for of course the people that believed ea took it. The ending, oh my god, was absolutely priceless. Whoever thought of that, bravo at you. Having a note that EA gave ocr a cease and desist because of the copyright issue over the joke was just the icing on the cake. A HUGE uproar was caused, and even then it was still great and not crazy. Ah, those were the days... Hey, I can say that, considering I was still new around that time.

CHz Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 The best part of EA ReMix was Pigskin Power. There's a U.S. site as well at http://www.sega.com/gamesite/marioandsonic/index.php. COMING HOLIDAY 2007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carra Posted March 28, 2007 Author Share Posted March 28, 2007 The news is also at Washington Post: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/03/28/AR2007032800267.html I don't think they usually make April Fools jokes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CE Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 100 METER DASH: SONIC VS MARIO! IT'LL BE A CLOSE ONE!! Wait, no it won't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decoy Octopus Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 100 METER DASH: SONIC VS MARIO!IT'LL BE A CLOSE ONE!! Wait, no it won't. Exactly. And I think Super Mario has the triple jump in the bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wipomatic Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 I think that was the reason to put them in the hurdles in the picture. It balances Sonic's speed against Mario's jumping ability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arek the Absolute Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 What a HORRIBLE game to chose to be the one that debut's them together in the same game. Stupid decision on both parts. This better be a April fool's joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decoy Octopus Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 I'm curious. What's so "HORRIBLE" about it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penfold Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 I'm curious. What's so "HORRIBLE" about it? Agreed. Sounds like it could be good - and seeing as how we haven't been given anything but the announcement I'm going to hold my judgement. Btw IGN is covering this too...that and the fact that it's not April 1st yet leads me to believe this is not an April Fool's joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did miss that...but honestly, kinda confused why you'd make an April Fool's joke before April 1st. I mean, sure you'd fool more people, but then isn't it just a practical joke?

Ninja-san Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 This is a depressing move on both sides. Mario and Sonic with thier first face off in an olympic game is just sad (if true). Super Smash Brawl better come out soon for nintendo to regain my respect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oddllama Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 This game is a parallel to the Cold War, and to the new one China is trying to bring about! Also: April Fools day - Unmod comes back for 24 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devyn Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Yeah, it's like "Hey, we have the worst good news on the planet." Seriously, I don't care that much, but yeah... Olympics.. meh. Oh well, who knows. By the way, my dog just sneezed from five feet away and blew snot and saliva all over my monitor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Falling Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 I think it'll sell. Marketing wise it's a good move. However I'm getting a bit sick of this treatment. I don't think I'd get it, but it appeals more to me this way than it would being an EA sports game T__T. Still, I fear this game would be made too easy since they want it to be for "everybody". My marketing teacher says: "he who offers EVERYTHING to EVERYONE, will fail". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penfold Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 I don't think I'd get it, but it appeals more to me this way than it would being an EA sports game T__T. I can understand that, since I'm not one who usually enjoys sports games. It gives me a little hope that Miyamoto will be involved in the project. It's not a guarantee the game won't be shit, but you could say that about anything. Anyway, people should stop over-reacting IMO...it's not like this is "TEH WORST NEWS EVAR!!!!111" seeing as how we have nothing to go on at this point - no gameplay specifics, screenshots, videos, or whatnot that will show what the game is made of. All I'm saying is wait to make up your mind about something after you have all the facts, cuz maybe, just maybe, it'll turn out to be good.
