SEGA has shot themselves in the foot over this one. I've been fighting the good fight for over a decade now helping Sonic reach popularity on consoles. I bought 15 new copies of Sonic The Hedgehog On the Xbox 360 (because that's the company SEGA publicly supported at first, not the PlayStation who kicked SEGA out of the market in the first place) to support the blue blur. 15! That's just the one game. Over the course of these last few years, I've purchased over 150 brand new Sonic games to help them win this battle. I didn't regret that money before because it was done in the name of service. When SEGA was forced to make Wii games, I looked the other way. I allowed you that free pass so you could give them horrible titles and steal all of the Nintendo fan's cash so you could make better games for us. It is clear now that I'm the only one who gives a shit about the war anymore. SEGA isn't about sticking it to the man anymore. It is NO LONGER ABOUT VALUES.
Now Nintendo has stolen everything we've loved and cherished: The Blue Blur. Within years, Nintendo is going to retcon the entire Comic and TV series out of existence just like they with their own games. They're going to take everything that us fans have worked for years to build and ruin it. Good Bye SeGA, you just jumped the Orca.

This can't be serious. Dat first sentence...SEGA has shot themselves in the foot over this one. I've been fighting the good fight for over a decade now helping Sonic reach popularity on consoles.

There is a mega man catan already, so why not sonic?Sonic Catan
I don't know what people expect Nintendo to do, not get games people want? How else are they supposed to sell the Wii U? "I don't own or want to own a Wii U. So they better not do anything to make me want a Wii U." It's like the conclusion is being made first, and the rationale follows it...
In Comic Book Guy's voice.Holy shit this needs a dramatic reading!
I don't know if you're familiar with Sega (he's an expert), but...The comments in that petition are hilarious.

Sega: STOP Exclusive Partnership with Nintendo
The Wii U is a bad console and Sonic's future CANNOT and SHOULD NOT rest in the hands of Nintendo
Holy shit this needs a dramatic reading!
Wait is this one game or three ?
The deal is for three games...
Sonic Lost World is one game.
The second is the new Mario & Sonic Olympics.
The third hasn't been revealed yet, but Sumo hinted pretty blatantly they're going to do a Mario/Nintendo Kart vs. Sonic/Sega Allstars Racing game of some sort.
Two out of three, it's obvious why those would stay Nintendo exclusive (even though PC ASRT was godly). Lost World is the only one with seemingly no Mario involvement. But Nintendo themselves might have helped with development?
Ah ok thanks for clarifying that.
Hope the mario /sonic kart game rumor is right .
Someone else mentioned that Nintendo have the publishing rights for sonic , i don't know if thats true but wouldnt that rule out any ps/Xbox/pc sonic
Games full stop ?

$400+? It's a Wii U, not a PS4.
When I think rich textures and high polygon models, I think Sonic 2006.

The fact that he talked about Mario and Sonic in conjunction with Nintendo publishing three Sonic games would imply it's part of the deal, I would think.But the mario & sonic franchise is published by Nintendo in Japan. That one shouldn't count!
...but it probably does
The fact that he talked about Mario and Sonic in conjunction with Nintendo publishing three Sonic games would imply it's part of the deal, I would think.
I wonder if Lost World is successful if Sega and Nintendo will continue this arrangement for future Sonic titles. I could imagine Nintendo putting a huge marketing campaign behind Sonic, bigger than Sega's budget could ever allow for.
Excellent"One score and a couple of years ago, Yuji Naka and Naotao Oshima brought forth upon this continent a blue hedgehog, conceived with 'tude, and dedicated to the proposition that Nintendo sucks and Sega fucking rules.
But now we are engaged in a great fanboy war, testing whether these fanboys or any fanboys so conceived and so dedicated, can long keep holding dat shit. NeoGAF will little deny, nor soon forget the humor in what we say here, but Sonic the Hedgehog CANNOT, SHOULD NOT, and SHALL NOT perish from TRUE-NEXT GEN CONSOLES."

"PARTY ON, DUDES!"
Because everyone who doesn't own the specific console won't be able to play the game? Because most likely it would have released on multiple platforms if Nintendo didn't open its wallet?Why does it matter?
I just don't see it as good or bad, just people bitter they don't get to play a game and people pleased to see a game on a platform they own.
So you're against exclusivity in general? I can get behind that.Because everyone who doesn't own the specific console won't be able to play the game? Because most likely it would have released on multiple platforms if Nintendo didn't open its wallet?
It hurts the overall gaming population and it's the lousiest kind of behavior for a platform-holder to make in attempting to make their console noteworthy.
Would you have liked if some movie theater chain would have paid to screen movie X exclusively at their cinemas, when without said payment it would have screened in any?
At this point, it seems people have a beef with Nintendo as a whole, doesn't matter if they offer what gamers want.
Well, this is something but it's not the same quote :/Holy shit this needs a dramatic reading!
Nintendo is like the childhood friend that you want to beat up apparantly.
Of course. Envision this scenario - you're a gawky, overweight 25-year-old who loves Sonic games. You have your fine ass co-worker Jade (like the Reshident Evil gamesh) over for a romantic candlelit dinner in your mother's basement with wine and dancing. Everything is going great, until you two collapse onto a cheeto dust-covered couch from exhaustion after getting your funk on to that sick dance mix someone made of Katamari Damacy on the internet, and she looks at your entertainment center, crammed with hentai DVDs and complete Blu-ray sets of every Joss Whedon show ever made, and stares in disgust at your dusty, seldom played basic model Wii U, peeking out from the back.At this point, it seems people have a beef with Nintendo as a whole, doesn't matter if they offer what gamers want.
