If this is actually a good entry in the Sonic franchise, maybe it will sell some systems. The diehard Sonic fans will definitely be on board

Just don't focus on platforming. Colors proved that they have no idea how to do that right. From both a design perspective as well as a control and mechanical one, that shit was well below satisfactory.
I really hope you're just feigning this. This is saltier than a double down sandwich dude, get a grip.
because sonic racing sold best on wiiu could be one reason

Not me. Count me out.
Got a crazy Idea, buy a Wii U.
Because Sonic sells better on Nintendo platforms, heck, Sonic All-Stars Racing Transformed sold best on the Wii U, and Bayonetta 2 was revived by Nintendo because they're funding. You're just gonna have to deal with it.
Your attitude is pathetic. Sorry for being rude, but I hate this kind of attitude. Buy the platform which has the games you want. Done right there.
It's not about whether you want a Wii U or not, it is about whether you want the games on it, and it seems like you do.

I can't imagine myself buying a Wii U for this game. Knowing that Nexbox will probably get a true Next Gen version. I'll be jealous though.

Naa.. wait till it tank and SEGA is forced to port it to 360 and PS3.

Because of an exclusive Sonic game? What a joke.

And just as I was about to finally buy a 3DS, awesome.
Then that's your decision, but your just going to miss out on the game you clearly want.
Forgot, Wii U is doomed. My bad lol.
It truly is one of those days.

I'm still a bit salty myself, goddamn. lol
Thanks, I needed a good laugh to stop my verbal tirade...

You're not a "true" hardcore Sonic fans then. I think maybe roughly only a couple of thousand of them exist, but hey 2,000 systems sold could increase a monthly output of Wii U consoles by 10%
These are the hardcore Sonic fans I'm referencing. The ones that get excited for a relaunch of Sonic Adventure 2.
it would probably sell worse there. i mean, in all likelihood, it would.

yeahhh
But seriously, this is cool. This also increases the chances of Sonic SSB4 <3

I mean, it's not like Nintendo exclusive Sonic games are a new thing at all.
There really isn't a history of Sega porting their Nintendo exclusive Sonic games to other platforms though.

On the flip side, Sonic games like Sonic Generations completely skipped Nintendo consoles.

Sonic games always sell better on Nintendo platforms. Colors on Wii outsold all versions of Generations combined. If it doesn't succeed on the Wii U, it won't succeed anywhere else.
it is on the 3ds and outsold the ps360 combined
I WISH this were the SNES/Genesis war.
Which is why I don't understand your sudden anger about this news. If anything it was one of the most obvious franchise coming to Wii U in the future.
This certainly doesn't mean Sonic is never ever coming to other platforms in the future. Because it certainly will.
Does anyone have the figures of each version of Generations?

I meant home console, but good point. This probably helped Sonic Team to make their decision to stay exclusive with Nintendo.

I mean, if a system has games you want, shouldn't it be a system you want? Regardless of anything to do with the hardware itself, systems are ultimately judged on their library so if the games are there you should be too.
STOP ANNOUNCING THESE GAMES I WANT I DON'T WANT YOUR SYSTEM is a weird angle to take.

Meh I'm salty, but this happened before with Sonic Colors, so meh. I needed my Smash fix at some point, just gives me more incentive to pick up a Wii-U at some point.
It's fucking weird though, I now give a damn about the Wii-U. . .
Still coming to grips with it.
Think how nintendo based ff fans felt after snes.
I wonder if we will see a Wii U port of Generations with a bonus level or two. It would make sense for them to start building an audience.
I never understood why there was no Wii version of Generations. The producer said they wanted to reimagine classic zones in HD, but then they went and released a 3DS version...

My anger was based on the same principle for Bayonetta 2, exclusivity is OK, but there are trade offs to it, shunning other potential buyers is never a good idea. But the upside is that it will likely drive sales up and give some proper incentive to buy a Wii U.
Again, I can't argue with the business aspect, but I'm not exactly thrilled...

Of all the things to trigger another wave of salt on GAF, I never once thought it would be an exclusive Sonic game. I feel an odd mixture of pride and bewilderment.

With Boyonetta it is said that the game wouldn't exist were it not for Nintendo.

Yeah. I'm feeling kind of surprised about this as well, all things considered. Pretty happy that people seem to be interested in the new game, though.
Prepping for Generations was fun. I hope we get to replicate that for Lost Worlds.

True... But Platinum Games's first remark was they wanted to bring Bayonetta 2 to a larger audience of gamers.
That irked me a bit.
Because Sonic games sell better on Nintendo platforms.
Period.
and you'd rather them either bring it to everyone or have it not exist at all?
Seems pretty petty
Well how else will they get the Wii U to sell? I'm sure there will be more third party exclusives on Wii U that will make people mad, and I'm sure that's the same when a third party exclusive gets announce for PS4 and Xbox 720.
You can't have every game on your preferred console, and Nintendo fans know this for sure.
