“I would be surprised to see Sega refusing a sequel opportunity if the game is indeed successful! In any case, our team is definitively ready to work on a sequel. We even have a precise idea on what to do next if this were to happen… And if you play the game, you might find some hints on what that idea is.” – Dorian Kieken, Sonic Chronicles’ Associate Producer

The impressions of Sonic Chronicles seem to have been a bit more positive over the recent weeks. We’ll have to wait and see if those opinions will translate into a good game, though. Knowing that it’s Sonic, I’d imagine that Sonic Chronicles will sell. I’m just hoping that the final product will do the hedgehog some justice!

Rygar on Wii doesn’t seem to be dead. New screenshots of the port surfaced a few days back which gives a pretty good indication that Tecmo hasn’t abandoned the project. What about the long delay, though? 1UP’s James Mielke has written a blog post which explains why Rygar has not already been released on the Wii. Believe it or not, the port has given Tecmo huge trouble. The company essentially had to retool the entire project after initial “disastrous results.”

“But both companies [Koei and Tecmo] are legendary for their cheapness (see: Tecmo’s repurposing of a 5 year-old PS2 game — Rygar — as a $500,000 quickie port to the Wii, a project which proved so disastrous and unportable that Tecmo had to go back to the drawing board with it, at nearly three times the cost of what they were trying to achieve in the first place).”

As always, I’d warn you guys not to trust this completely. There’s been quite a few times where publisher announcements have gone askew. Still, if Hudson is correct, these titles will release this upcoming Monday.
