"God of War may have been an influence" says director.
It's been a difficult time for Sonic the Hedgehog over the past few years. There have been lacklustre responses to his 3D adventures, Shadow did some real damage to his reputation and the less said about his next-gen efforts the better. Ever since the Dreamcast days he seems to have been running into more and more trouble.
But perhaps that's all about to change. Built especially around the Wii's motion-sensing controls, Sonic and the Secret Rings is a very different outing for SEGA's iconic hedgehog, with players tilting, shaking and waving the Wiimote in a bid to restore the sandy world of the Arabian Nights to its former glory.
As Sonic gears up for his March release IGN spoke to Secret Rings director Yojiro Ogawa about giving the little blue dude a new lease on life and the influences that have affected the direction of the game.
Nintendo's motion-controlled console was the home of countless fantastic gaming experiences. Here, I'll count down ten obvious and obscure choices that will suit the modern market perfectly.
This console has so many great games. I'd like to see a sequel to The Last Story.
There's not going to be a sequel to the structure of Super Mario Galaxy 2 though. The only reason we even got SMG2 was because they had plenty of leftover ideas from SMG1 that didn't make it into the game. It's better that we got other structures of 3D Mario later on
Galaxy 1 and especially Galaxy 2 are two of the most overrated games ever made.
The console was pathetic to say the least, but the games were great!
Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2
Zelda Skyward Sword
Donkey Kong
Sin & Punishment: Star Successor
Zack & Wiki
Sonic Colours
Xenoblade Chronicles
Tatsunoko vs. Capcom
Silent Hill: Shattered Memories
Muramasa: The Demon Blade
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
Super Mario Galaxy is getting a sequel though...Odyssey
Super Mario Galaxy 2 was a one off mainly because they apparently had content left over and instead of it wasting they made another game since they were still in the consoles life. Wouldn't make sense to have a sequel to Galaxy when each new system has brought us a different, brand new main Mario game. I'm glad we got Odyssey over it, it looks great and more open then Galaxy. Once you got to certain point in some levels of Galaxy (star cannon) you couldn't go back so back tracking was limited
Technically it's not a sequel. SMG3 would be a sequel. Mario Odyssey is it's own game and possibly new spin specifically for the switch like Galaxy was for the Wii. If anything, Odyssey is more akin to Sunshine than Galaxy.
Each ones are spiritual sequels
64, Sunshine, Galaxy and Odyssey
New Super Mario Bros. seems to always have sequels (2 on 3DS, one on Wii, and one on Wii U).
Also, Super Mario 3D World is a sequel to Super Mario 3D Land.
So, Galaxy 3 would be cool.
Super Mario 64 didn't
Super Mario Sunshine didn't
Super Mario Galaxy was the only one
Super Mario Odyssey probably won't
Super Mario 3D World and New Super Mario Bros are not main line Mario games...just advanced versions of the handheld games
Personally I want to see them revisit galaxy and sunshine in the same game. The water gameplay combined with the physics stuff could get pretty dang wacky.
Oh shit man SEE it's just waiting to happen
That and another game with a Dimension jumping element
Replies(1)Missing a lot of games: Red Steel, Zack and Wiki, Little King's Story, Bloom Blox, De Blob, Muramasa, Excitebots/bikes/trucks, Sin and Punishment, Kloana, Battalion Wars, etc . . .
Super Mario Galaxy 2 doesn't need a sequel. You could see the ideas drying up when playing through it.

Being a Sonic fan for a majority of my life, I’ve played nearly every Sonic game that’s ever existed. As such, I’ve played each game so many times that I’ve even began collecting them as of recently. Doing so, I’ve had the opportunity to play games I haven’t even looked at in several years.
I’ve never been big on the classic Sonic games, or really anything before 1999 when Sonic Adventure for the SEGA Dreamcast was released, so don’t expect to see anything before then in my list. To celebrate Sonic the Hedgehog’s 24th anniversary, here are my top 10 favorite Sonic games of all time.
GuG writer, Casey Covel does a review on Sonic and the Secret Rings for the Wii.
Forty party-games? A nice mix of difficulty AND tons of speed? I'm psyched... I just hope I'm not let down.
