That’s right, I said “Sonic 1 version 2.0″. No, I don’t mean that Sonic 2 is coming to iOS and Android, so stop asking. No! Sonic 3 & Knuckles isn’t coming either! Security! Get these Sonic fans out of my office! It seems not even Sega were happy with their rubbish attempt to port the original…

It’s a new year, and with it comes a new Sonic game right? I’m honestly still riding the coattails of Sonic & Danica Patrick go to the beach Transformed, so these announcements can take their time in my opinion. Anyway, Sega filed a trademark in Europe for something called “Sonic Lost World.” Shall we let…

TimeGate Studios, the development team at least partly responsible for Aliens: Colonial Marines, has fired all of its staff and has effectively disappeared. This news comes a week after we reported the troubled firm filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. After losing its credibility following the release of the diabolical Aliens: Colonial Marines, losing a lawsuit against Section 8 publisher SouthPeak…

While it’s good to see SA2 doing well (despite not being a fan of the game) and Jet Set Radio HD showing some staying power as well, I’m concerned about NiGHTS: into Dreams dropping down the charts so quickly. While most reviews didn’t note the problem, the controls were vastly inferior to that of the Saturn game. This really hurts the game’s replayability (and the potential of the new leaderboards) and makes it far from being the definitive version of NiGHTS that fans were expecting. This, coupled with the combined release with SA2 which seemed to do more harm than good, means NiGHTS isn’t making the comeback the fans had hoped for. This means the future of the franchise isn’t looking good.

I blame the lack of marketing for Nights. Everyone knew about JSR no matter where you turned. Sonic will succeed just because it’s Sonic.
As a huge Nights fan, I really hope something happens to bring everyones’ attention to the port.
