What do you think guys? Think they will listen to us this time? Have they done this in the past? Because if they haven't is a new leaf for Service Games?

Was just going to post this. Direct link: http://bit.ly/TWSeg

Also, nice SegaBits mention at the end of the survey.
Looks like Sega is trying to figure out which franchises people enjoy most, and gather some opinions on mobile.

[Myriad the Stargazer]

Yea I noticed that too! Is this site affiliated with SEGA in any way? Or did they just do that to show that they are aware of the dedicated fanbase?

[Sharky]

None of those sites listed were affiliated with SEGA.

Also I noticed not all of SEGAs IPs are there! Games such as Bonanza Bros and Decap Attack weren't on the list to my knowledge so clearly the IPs on the list must just be the ones they deem to have potential?

Weird that they listed our youtube, but not www.segabits.com.

[Tad]

Nice move SEGA!

P.S

They've even mentioned Shenmue!!

[Barry the Nomad]

Weird that our YouTube channel got a mention but our website did not, though I'm not bothered. SEGAbits.com pulls in more traffic than any other general SEGA blog on there and we are on SEGA's radar seeing as we work with them on contests and they shared our news story recently about Metacritic 3DS scores.

If anything, it makes me wonder if SEGA sees the new direction of the SEGAbits youtube as being more influential than it was before.

Odd to see Sonic Stadium not making the list, while Sonic Retro does.

Holy shit they remembered Baku Baku?

[Tad]

Wait a minute...*adjusts specs*

No ECHM! This is an outrage!? *flips desk*

I was pleased to fill out the survey though it struck me as more of a "what franchises do you like" kinda survey rather than a "help our games be better" one as advertised.

I got asked a lot about why I don't play cell phone games. 

[Tad]

Yeah, same. I'll say what I said on it here:

They just don't appeal to me as a gamer. They usually have little depth to them, awkward controls, pop up ads and full of microtransactions.

[crackdude]

I still play Baku Baku on a regular basis

[George]

You guys clicked our youtube as a source of SEGA news, right?! GUYS GUYS!?

Also: Seaman isn't even owned by SEGA and neither is Toe Jam and Earl. But I don't think the people working there know this.

[Moody]

I took the survey, was happy to pass it around to friends too. I agree it felt like a "which franchises do you want to see return and how" survey, but I'm okay with that. Hopefully this will make the people who hate SEGA because they won't release x franchise raise an eyebrow. At the very least, it's good to see some actual communication going on.
