SEGA readying Sonic Colors update for tomorrow, “franchise-changing” news on Thursday
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii | 4 Comments
According to ArchAngelUK, SEGA will be sharing an update about Sonic Colors tomorrow. However, there’s also some important news that will be revealed on Thursday. It’s apparently so significant that the SEGA Europe community manager went as far as to say on the latest Radio Redux podcast that it’s “franchise-changing news.” We know that SEGA is also working on a Sonic title for the 3DS, so I wonder if it’s at all related to that title. Thursday is just a few days away, so it won’t be long until we find out what the hype is all about.

Nintendo to share the status of The Last Story outside of Japan by the end of the year
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 9 Comments
Update: The Twitter account has been proven real via the company’s official website (thanks Ome), but I’m bumping this to the front page because Mistwalker says that their original message contained a typo. We’ll find out by the end of this year, not the end of this month.
Earlier this week, Nintendo released the first trailer of The Last Story. It only confirmed that the game will be released in Japan sometime this year, though the same cannot be said of North America and Europe. The good news is that we should be hearing an update about the overseas status of Mistwalker’s new title by the end of the month, as was noted on the company’s Twitter account.
“You will found it out by the end of this month.”
Regarding the validity of the Twitter account, I’m 99% sure it’s the real deal. I’ve been following it over the past several months, and there have been a ton of responses that have sounded legitimate. Also, I’m fairly certain that Twitter doesn’t confirm company accounts (or at least most, anyway), so you’ll never see a verification on the page that it’s real.
