Oh snap, SEGA X Capcom! The hype has just got real.

This could be a fun collaboration or something more...I see what happened there..

This kinda thing is what Sega has been doing for years in their online RPGs...whether it was characters inhouse or from other companies. The difference is most of them weren't from big name IPs...

[Happy Cat]

the best SEGA game shown at TGS that's going to be released in the west:

Sorry guys, lol! It is developed by AM2 though. SEGA using AM2's talent to work on Miku games.

we western gaijan aren't Japanese enough for Yakuza, but Miku is perfect fit for us though!

[ROJM]

yeah..ironic isn't it...and PSO isn't a game that is culturally japanese either...

Wonder if someone will co opt this picture and insert a speech balloon saying "Stupid gaijin shit!...we let them do this to SONIC?!"

While the other guy is thinking...

"its finally come down to this...we named a Sonic game after a Streetfighter special move...."

Lol. Iizuka was going through all kinds of emotions during the Sonic Toon stream. Then after the SEGA Japan Sonic mascot came out and started dancing he was so happy.



I don't think he hates Americans, he tries to appeal to them all the time with his games. I just think he hates Sonic Boom.

To quote Big Red Button:

Have the character designs in the upcoming Sonic Boom by Big Red Button Entertainment ruffled your fur and/or quills? It could always be worse. Bob Rafei, CEO of Big Red Button, told GameSpot that early designs were downright "traumatic" for Sonic Team head Takashi Iizuka.

"Early on, when we had our first review of all the crazy things we wanted to try, Iizuka-san came down to Los Angeles and looked through all the different concepts," Rafei said. "I felt sorry for the guy because sometimes he couldn't actually look at the screen ... it was too traumatic seeing all the crazy stuff we wanted to do."

I'm not saying he hates americans...but his experience in having an american team involvement haven't led to the best Sonic games. NIGHTS 2, SHADOW to a degree..and SONIC BOOM..still wait and see but it seems to have divided sonic fans from what i can see.

I'd be traumatized, too, if I were him.

I honestly feel sorry for the guy. I feel like he's probably the unluckiest producer they have. Poor game after poor game, and a lot of it is down to things outside his control.

I wouldn't say he's as much of a victim as you're portraying..most of the bad mojo he puts on himself....
