Aerosol Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 now let's watch as the majority of the next posts are going to be "NUH UH!" posts. I don't care what this is. Either way it's stupid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VectorSatyr Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 These pranks are getting more and more subtle. When you can only disertain fact from bullshit based on the date, it's no fun. The hints should be obvious, and the state that SEGA is in right now doesn't help the legitimacy of this announcement. The fact that it's IGN does, but still...

Steven M Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Wii and DS, right? April Fool's or not, I like the idea of this. Anyway, speaking of sports games - the Mario basketball game for the DS. Anyone recommend it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosol Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Question. Why would sega and nintendo make a game promoting the beijing olympics? just curious, you know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimensionWarped Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Why would they release a game promoting the 2008 beijing Summer Olympics in Winter of 2007? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epon Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Because that's where the next Olympics are being held. It's not like it's the annual Super Bowl, it's a fricken world-wide event. ~~EDIT~~ DW: Because obviously the winter season is when the most games are sold, holidays and all. Why release a game about the Olympics after they're over in Dec. 08? Silly goose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimensionWarped Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 I'd figure actually near the Olympics would be fine. Games do come out in times that aren't Winter you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slingerland Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Its just the elaborate enough prank to be the joke of the century. I dunno... Sonic Xtreme's "releasing" on Sonic CulT was pretty awesome. INTERVIEW!!! OMG READ IT. If this is a hoax...then they're going very very far... http://ncroal.talk.newsweek.com/default.asp?item=546590 I think this shit's real, dudes. There's no doubt in my mind.

Pheonix Gamma Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Still fricken' wierd, though. Sonic's pretty much gaurenteed in Brawl now, probably as a hidden character, so when someone unlocks him, there's going to be a huge buzz. Oh, and Nintendo, if you love Sega so much, why don't you marrrry theeeem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidimanNull Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 I KNEW IT. the moment a Sonic + Mario thing comes in, its automatically " OH SHIT SONIC WILL WIN ". But this is cool. its just pretty awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DimensionWarped Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 I wouldn't. There isn't even any affirmation that trophies will be in Brawl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven M Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 I wouldn't. There isn't even any affirmation that trophies will be in Brawl. Which is probably why I said it. Granted it'd have been more obvious to say something like "flying pigs" or "blue moon", but since this game was announced in the first place the ground's a bit rocky for speculation.

Pheonix Gamma Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Well the interview was all "Nintendo loves Sega right now <33333" and Sega was all "Aw sweet, and Ninty's out of my league these days." Nintendo was interested in Sonic being in Brawl, and with all of this "making a new game together on the Wii and DS, with the Sigginator" business, it's becoming more possible.

Spike Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Oh man. Please tell me its a joke. Just... please let it be an april fools joke.I love Sonic, and I kinda like Mario, but the mixed combination of the two is bad. Very bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosol Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 only in this case. I smell not only a bad game, but a publicity stunt too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimensionWarped Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 The combination of the two is fine. Its the way they are wanting to combine them that annoys the hell out of me. Whatever though, if Sonic is in Brawl, that'll be more than enough to complete any crossovers I need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
