Apparently this sonic announcement alone is what brought GAF down =x.

I also find it laughable how one is criticizing Sega of cashing in just now. It's like they've ignored the billion version of Sonic games that have been re-released over the past decade and a half.

The silver lining is that like Bayonetta 2, SEGA won't even be publishing them(Except Lost Worlds).

Which is basically a loophole for Sega's 3rd party reorganizing strategy which they explain in the article.

You do know that despite the Wii U's lackluster performance, 1/3 of ASRT 1.3 million sales came from the U alone....right?

Please learn what the difference is between publishing and developing.

How ironic. Sega was once Nintendo's worst nightmare. Now Sega is Nintendo's messiah. Back in the NES days Nintendo had its foot on Sega's neck, now Nintendo has a slobbering love affair with Sega. Interesting times ahead folks. Sega stands to profit from this more that Nintendo. The most this will do for Nintendo is sell more WiiU systems. If Sonic the Lost World turns out to be a pristine Sonic title then I'll buy a WiiU along with Bayonetta 2.

This strategy will jump start the WiiU's slump, but will can Nintendo sustain the momentum after November 2013? The Xbox 360 is still the best selling console in the U.S. and the rumored $99 Xbox 360 releasing later this year makes a steep hill for Ninty to climb. I find it difficult to believe that Nintendo will substantially sway U.S. and EU gamers away permanently with some Sonic games, Luigi, Pikmin and HD remakes. In Japan yes, everywhere else, nope.

As For Sonic Lost Worlds, not much yet about it is known , considering SOE registered the domain, it might have been developed in Europe.

The fact that this whole time SEGA's Wii U support has been almost barren, this screams "desperation" on Nintendo's part.

I suspect that even this will backfire on Wii U and that Sega will even drop the platform.

And this post screams "damage control, looks like your carefully constructed fantasy world where the Sega Orbi/Spectrum/Pod/WHATEVER will take over the gaming world has started to crumble around you! LOL!

I recall Zachary Morris telling me 2 years ago that a new Sonic Storybook game for Wii U was in development.

Looks like he was right.

Yep more Damage Control from MrSega. LOL at you quoting that lying bullshitter Zach Morris.

I knew it! I knew Sonic Team wasn't involved and that it was Sega of Europe that SEGA of Japan isn't pandering to Nintendo fans. And look at this, like Bayonetta 2, SEGA isn't publishing them!

Yet more damage control and butt hurt from MrSega!

So true.

Sega should bring us Yakuza 5 if they're so willing to hand Nintendo the first two games. Sonic isn't exactly prime gaming nowadays but it'd be disappointing if the next games turn out better than Generations and we miss out on them.
