About time. And clever timing. Including Miku who just came off of a hit movie that not surprisingly outcrossed Sonic 3 in japan (ironically SEGA and SEGA owned TMS produced this movie and released it a week after Sonic 3) as well as Like A Dragon should help sales in japan and including Atlus characters like Joker will probably not only bring some Atlus fans to buy this game but importantly start to bring the current userbase under one banner. One of the reasons Nintendo and Capcom has a dedicated fanbase is the fact they regularly bring all their characters together into a crossover title. Now considering SEGA started this first with FIGHTERS MEGAMIX its kinda baffling to most SEGA fans on why SEGA refuses to do the same, or when they do a crossover title they always take a U turn and do it in a way the majority never wanted. Games like FIGHTERS CLIMAX IGNITION or the unlockable SEGA classic i the recent POWER DRIFT SEGA AGES game. As much as i appreciated Sumo Digital's SEGA ALL STARS racing games, that got hampered in who they could include or worst certain racers were tied to certain platforms. The only games that were crossovers that utilized a glimpse of a full spectrum of SEGA characters has to offer is the defunct SEGA HEROES and the bandai namco Project X Zone games. Both included new and classic SEGA franchises and with the latter included First part SEGA characters and second party SEGA characters like RESONANCE OF FATE. SEGA needs to streamline their base again and bring them together which is why crossover games are important but they need to use ALL of their assets and not just a select few. I would personally love to see SEGA of America's Genesis franchises get included like VECTOR MAN or now that SOJ has opened the door by including a "mature" game like LIKE A DRAGON into a SONIC title, Its time BAYONETTA made an appearance too. Its a reminder of why SEGA is a great company but a collage of their history zipping across your screen in a racing game. If you are a longterm SEGA fan from the master system days you know what I mean and the feeling you have when you have potentially ALEX KIDD or WONDERBOY going against LIKE A DRAGON, ANGRY BIRDS or a character from PERSONA in this crossover game.
