I don't really care for the next Mario & Sonic game, but holy shit if the things about the Sonic Anniversary game are true. :O

Ohdear, I do not quite trust them remaking the old levels again, however if it turns out like Green Hill Zone in Sonic Adventure 2, I'll be all for it, as long as they can carry over that style of level design and not the ones seen in Sonic Unleashed and Sonic Colours recently, it's a real wonder why they do not try to make levels like that again, I would consider the Green Hill Zone one of the best 3D platformer levels, I can't fathom why they did not carry that over into Sonic Heroes, even with the three character partnership (If anything, the level design would have suited it much better)

Mario & Sonic 2012 will probably be much better than the previous titles, since Mario & Sonic 2010 was much better than the last one too.

360 version still in negotiations? What would there be to negotiate? I'm skeptical about a Wii, DS AND PSP version also being made. If that were the case, Sonic Team would have to be developing three different versions of the game not to mention porting the PS3 version to the 360 or vice versa. I can't see Sonic Team having the time and man power to develop Sonic Anniversary for every system as well as currently developing Colors Wii, Colors DS and Sonic 4.

This news piece sounds very fishy. I wouldn't trust Spanish people all that much.

And was GHZ THAT good on SA2 Aki? I can't quite remember it being that good lol.

Well guys, me and my girlfriend Ashthedragon ( registered here too) are the ones who talked to that Sega of Spain employee in the new spanish electronic expo Gamefest. We are journalists from a Spanish website called Modo 7, currently under construction, and talked with Izaskun as press. this is true. No rumor, confirmed. This will be probably officialy announced soon.

We first published this in a board we use to be, Sonic Reikai, and then talked with our good friend Jack Wallace from Sonic Paradise, who told Tristan about this, and you already know the rest.

About the lack of 360 plans, it hit us that there were no plans of releasing it, and asked profussely about it. There are negotiating it, but it not confirmed yet. it will probably come out in 360 anyways.

It is probably beacuse of Sonic Annyversary being a PS3 exclusive as filtered a while ago at first, but negotiated with Sony in order to being able to release it in Nintendo platforms too ( as it a different side of the market, maybe Sony doesn't care too much of it in Nintendo platforms). Maybe they are currently negotiating with Sony in order to publish it in 360 too.

It possibly also coming for 3DS, but that are only conjetures we made.

Back and forth with news!

Seraphinprincess from Sonic Stadium, a member of Sonic Rekei who was also at the expo but did not talk anyone from SEGA but have talked to those that have says that the only details about Sonic Anniversary we have is they're, "going to remake the best levels in Sonic Unleashed/Colors style."

I know this will get mixed reactions but I'm personally happy... >3>
Seeing how the Sega staff talked about it, this should be revealed soon if this is true.

They have the best tennis player in the world, one of the best F1 drivers in the world and the best football team in the world! Surely that's enough for you to trust them, no?

Just kidding with you man!

In terms of level design, it was, but that's because it did really well to translate the level design of a 2D game into a 3D world quite well.

Of course it's short, but you had quite a few multiple routes (5 or 6 I think) in a level that's only about a minute and half long, the days after this stage, the occurence of multiple routes were rarer than they were in that one stage.

I find it interesting that the game was originally PS3 exclusive and now SEGA is trying to get it on other platforms. The fact that SEGA has to negotiate with Sony to get it on other platforms probably means Sony helped with development, funding or otherwise. Wouldn't be surprised to see exclusive content and a marketing push from Sony.

The whole idea of making an exclusive Sonic game on the PS3 sounds too fishy, considering Sonic is a multi-platform character. Happy Anniversary Sonic! You're on every console except for the XBOX which is more popular in western regions just like you are!

Fishy I tells ya!

Wasnt the whole 'ps3 exclusive' thing completely speculation by that guy?

They said that 360 version is under negotiation. But most likely will happen. I'm sure it will.

Didnt Sonic '06 hit the 360 before the PS3 version, and 360 Unleashed had more DLC than the PS3? Probably that sorta business is going on.

Although, in reverse.

Maybe PS3 owners will get more classic Anniversary content than 360 owners.

Sonic 06 delay on PS3 was due to programming being behind schedule for the PS3 version, it was delayed. The Unleashed DLC is the same on both versions.

Though, those two games shouldn't effect what deals are going on with the new game. Obviously this is a totally different title.

Rather, the 360 version of Silver06 was rushed to the market.

Yeah, it really had a rushed three and a half years...

There is never going to be a PlayStation 3 exclusive game, especially when Sonic games do significantly better on Wii, DS and Xbox 360 platforms.

And remaking old levels is bullshit. Just do not do it, especially with Sonic Team. Remake some of the music if you want (try not to make it all guitars though!) and we'll see. If they did some of the 2D level, they would turn out terrible like the ones in Sonic Colors. Something like City Escape as Dr SEGA Monkey pointed out though would not be bad at all, but... Basic cities are really overrunning the franchise. What ever happened to the cool art from Speed Highway or Star Light Zone?

Ok time out, the author replied to a mail I sent him about this issue, here's what he said:

No bother at all but I never mentioned it was a Sonic sequel just a sequel I was stoked for. It is not a Sonic game I was referring to but a Sega sequel and that is why I saved Sonic for part 2. I do apologize for the confusion but I do promise to let the Sonic fans on any new news I receive.
Thanks for the email and I do apologize for the confusion.

So yea, It wasn't even a Sonic game to begin with, we can stop hoping to receive news now.
So yeah, it's not a Sonic game that will be announced today.

Nothing will be announced today... Sounds like a load of bullshit to me.
He's changing the story to save face.

It's a total Zach Morris, nothing to see here.

I can however, flat out tell you there will be a new Sonic game for Sonics Anniversary... I don't even need a source. Kind of just obvious.

There was some rumor news at least. On 4Chan Wentos, who is famous for leaking rumor info on other Sonic games that usually turns out true, says that the next Mario and Sonic game will not be sports related.

My guess is sports related, but it would be nice if it was a M&S adventure.

I've yet to see any compelling evidence that his predictions have come true they all seem pretty vaigue and likely to happen.

'One day before the end of time the next Sonic game will be released and it may or may not have platforming in it... Tails will fly a aeroplane, Sonic will have red shoes and Dr Robotnik will be called Eggman thoughout! P.S everything is subject to change!'

Wentos is just making up shit and hope he hits anything close to correct when his assumptions are not even thought out well at all to begin with. "Sonic Adventure 2 was a low budget release", LOL
