Just when I think SEGA has changed
12 years ago
Now I heard a while back that SEGA had created a policy for Sonic games to be made only once every 3 years and that was a policy that I appreciate as Sonic the Hedgehog is one of those franchises that gets milked more than Pokemon, Call of Duty, Madden, Fifa and Final Fantasy combined.
However, we’re supposed to get three sonic-related projects this year apparently. Those include Sonic Lost World, a new Sonic and Mario at the Olympic Games and something else (it’s rumored to be Sonic being in the new smash bros which is cool to see Sonic fight alongside Megaman and Mario). Now while I don’t care for the Olympics bullshit anymore as it is honestly getting old (and I’d rather see Mario and Sonic in a crossover platformer) and Sonic Lost World sounds interesting, I ended up seeing this.

Now, looking at this we are getting the Sega Genesis games AGAIN on the Nintendo 3DS. As awesome as half these games are, I honestly think that these games have been rereleased more than enough times as is. I know that Nintendo tends to package some old NES titles here and there but at least they TRY to focus on other series besides just Mario and Zelda (though I’m sure Star Fox and F-Zero think otherwise). I mean how many times will Sega port their Genesis titles? I mean it’s cool we get to play them on the go but there was a PSP game that had them in one UMD and not to mention Sonic Classic Collection DS which had ALL 4 games and even Knuckles in Sonic 1 and Sonic 3 and Knuckles (the TRUE Sonic 3 which gets neglected constantly).
I mean aside from the Genesis, SEGA has went out of their way to port the Genesis games to:-
Sega Saturn
Sega Dreamcast
Playstation 2
GameCube
XBox
Wii (Virtual Console)
Playstation 3 (PSN and Genesis Museum)
X Box 360 (X Box Live and I think Genesis Museum)
PC (Steam and the many genesis games that were released on disk)
Playstation Portable (Genesis Collection and PSN)
Nintendo DS (Various collections)
Gameboy Advanced (Sega Smash Pack and Sonic the Hedgehog Genesis)
And now the Nintendo 3DS.
So, since you guys at SEGA went out of your way to release these titles so many times to the point where no one cares, how about a sequel? I mean a Dynamite Headdy and Ristar sequel sounds lovely right now? A new Golden Axe minus the bullshit in the last one would be great. Hell, a new Billy Hatcher would even be appreciated if anything. I mean I LOVE Sonic and all but you’ve pushed him and his history into our faces to the point where people are starting to not care anymore.

As for the others, interesting to know. I'll have to look into those games.
Not to mention if these games were released over and over again why can't Sega make a sequel to them like Ristar 2 or a Shining Force that's on the PSVita that's actually localized over in the states unlike the last few Shining games.
