SEGA has entered into an exclusive worldwide partnership with Nintendo, granting Nintendo the exclusive rights to the next three titles in the Sonic The Hedgehog series.
If you were a 90s kid excited about Nintendo’s upcoming N64 console, you likely read something somewhere about the Nintendo 64 Disk Drive, also known as the 64DD or DD64.
GamesIndustry.biz writes: "Relic is best known for the Company of Heroes and Dawn of War games, and recently developed the new Age of Empires for Microsoft. Relic will transition to an independent studio and will no-longer be part of the Sega group of studios.
The majority of the 240 job cuts are across Creative Assembly and Sega Europe, while there will be a ‘small number’ cut from Sega HARDLight. There was no mention of other Sega UK studios, including Two Point Studios and Sports Interactive."
Sega had such a turbulent existence from the mid-90s to when they dropped out of console manufacturing entirely in 2001, it’s understandable if you’ve never heard of the Genesis Nomad.
Wow, Sega must be desperate. Entering an exclusive contract with their biggest mascot. Personally for me, I don't really care. Sonic isn't really on my radar anymore.
Ehh, doesn't really matter much to me personally. So long as they don't put out a second Generations game or something as an exclusive. I'd be pissed considering that's the only Sonic game I've cared about in the last 7 or so years.
sonic games need nintendos magic.. Theyve all been underwhelming since genesis..
Thats awesome maybe the Sonic:lost world game will be one demoed at the Best Buys? maybe its to soon either way I'm going to be looking at new for the game
This has the potential to be pretty big, if these games can bring back that old Sonic magic, a lot of people are going to be happy!
