What are the chances of a classic Sonic title similar to Mega Man 9?
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 4 Comments
Update: Speaking to Kotaku, Mr. Akinori seemed to change his mind a bit…
“One of our ideas has been that on older consoles, you may have had only 16 colours. One thing we could do is make a game like Mega Man 9; do a new Sonic, but in an old style.”
“Actually, he has been working on Sonic Advance and Sonic Rush and is very keen on keeping the 2D game. But, having said that, he also thinks 3D Sonic [is good]…And he has been thinking so hard to incorporate those good things from both 3D and 2D. And this is one of the reasons that in Sonic Unleashed we have both 3D and 2D mixed gameplay, kind of switched, going back and forth…Although he thinks that the original 2D game was really good, he doesn’t intend to publish kind of a remake of the original game.” – Akinori Nishiyama, General Manager of Sonic Team, though a translator
Sonic Rush is somewhat similar to the hedgehog’s Genesis days, but it doesn’t look like we’ll be seeing a completely classic Sonic game anytime soon. However, if upcoming 3D Sonic titles such as Unleashed are at least half-way decent, perhaps it’ll give fans some hope that a Sonic title can work well in the third dimension.
XSEED and Marvelous to co-publish No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle in North America

Publisher XSEED may be taking the cake for one of the better publishers for Nintendo platforms over the next year and a half. International publishing for No More Heroes 2 has been arranged. And, unlike the first No More Heroes title, it has been confirmed that Ubisoft will not be publishing No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle in North America. Rather, Marvelous and XSEED will co-publish the game. As far as Europe goes, Rising Star will be handling the game.

Capcom not ready to commit to a NA release for Monster Hunter 3 just yet
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 16 Comments
“We’ve made no announcements at this time [Monster Hunter 3 in North America]. The major MH announcement made for the West at TGS was that Freedom Unite was coming to the US next year.” – Christian Svensson, Corporate Officer/VP of Strategic Planning & Business Development
I just can’t imagine Capcom neglecting to bring Monster Hunter 3 to North America. Even though the following isn’t as big in NA as it is in Japan, a number of other Monster Hunter titles have reached its shores; so I don’t see why Capcom would neglect a release of the game in the states.

Discipline: First trailer

Back on Thursday, Marvelous Entertainment (Arc Rise Fantasia, Muramasa) revealed a WiiWare title they are developing: Discipline. There are only a few details that are known about the title, but the very strange trailer should give you a good idea about the game’s vibe.
