Rumor: Sonic on the way to LEGO Dimensions
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii U | 3 Comments
Last September, a list of LEGO Dimensions “Series 2” set names appeared with code words. One of these had an “S” label, which prompted some to speculate that it could be for Sonic.
LEGO insider Just2Good dropped a hint that the label was referring to SEGA’s mascot back when the situation was transpiring. And yesterday, a second LEGO insider going by the name CM4Sci mentioned on EuroBricks stating that Sonic’s on his way to the game before adding, “I also know for a fact Sonic is in if that confirms anything”.
Brick Inquirer – who knows much more about these things than I do – says “CM4Sci’s word is about as good as it comes.” We’ll still consider Sonic’s appearance a rumor for now, but it’d definitely be interesting to see him in LEGO Dimensions. Perhaps this is one way in which SEGA will be celebrating Sonic’s 25th anniversary?
As for other hints pertaining to Series 2, Super Girl and Green Arrow are also rumored. Their additions would make quite a bit of sense!

A look into the cancelled Dirty Harry game for Wii and DS
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, General Nintendo, News, Videos, Wii | 6 Comments
Warner Bros. was once planning new video games based on the Dirty Harry film franchise. It was previously known that a primary version was in the works for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 courtesy of developer The Collective, but it came to light in recent years that Sensor Sweep was also making a separate game for other platforms including Wii and DS.
Sensor Sweep’s project would have adopted the same plot and some similar gameplay mechanics. However, it was an alternative approach, with plans to include a cel-shaded art style.
All Dirty Harry games were eventually scrapped. Regarding Sensor Sweep’s take on the IP, the team was well behind schedule and found itself not properly equipped for development on home consoles given its past work exclusively on handhelds. These factors contributed to its demise, along with the declining interest from Warner Bros. in moving forward with Dirty Harry after the HD version was cancelled.
Here’s the full report from Unseen64 and Liam Robertson:
Monolith Productions job listing includes mention of Nintendo lot check
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 9 Comments
Warner Bros. developer Monolith Productions has done very little with Nintendo hardware in the past. But a new job listing is sparking speculation that the studio – which made the acclaimed Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor – could have something to offer in the future… maybe on NX?
This line from a Quality Assurance Manager posting is what gamers are talking about in particular:
Knowledge of certification standards for Microsoft (TCR compliance), Sony (TRC compliance), or Nintendo (Lot Check).
Of course, there’s no specific mention of NX there. Having the word “or” is also important, as it could mean a person with experience publishing games on major platforms is simply needed. I suppose only time will tell if something ever comes from this!
