God, I hope we can expect more of the same. I don't feel like I have enough re-skinned versions of the original game.

I never played Angry Birds, never seen it live, and i'm proud. I won't eat the cereal. Birds with eyebrows i can do without.

IamTylerDurden1786d ago (Edited 786d ago )

Not into mobile. Idgaf. Flex...ok. Angry Birds looks dumb af. Not for me. Not into the acquisition or AB craze. Sorry if it offends you. If Sega wanted in on mobile i can think of 800m better spent.

IamTylerDurden1786d ago

Angry Bird sympathizers. I won't even eat the AB gummies. I stay flexing.

Also, my first post wasn't meant as a flex, i was goofing about. AB does look dumb but idc. Man, Angry Army of bird lovin folk. I apologize. Eyebrows on birds are ok.

XiNatsuDragnel787d ago

Probably getting more devs for arcade, Mobile and console platforms.

Profchaos786d ago

Sega has wanted to make it big in the mobile space for the past decade anyone remember that nightmare called sonic 4

Sgt_Slaughter786d ago

One of the unfortunate parts of my Steam library after I bought one of the Sonic Humble Bundles years ago

Profchaos786d ago

You're not alone I suffered to that character model and animation still haunts me

SEGA to Acquire Angry Birds Maker Rovio Entertainment for $775M

SEGA has just acquired Angry Birds studio Rovio Entertainment for $775 million, and looks to use the studio's expertise in mobile gaming.

XiNatsuDragnel788d ago

Nice Sega mobile about to make Sonic mobile

solideagle788d ago (Edited 788d ago )

wow 775 million I thought Rovio was going serious downhill. As I saw multiple youtube videos on it. Rovio was supposed to be a juggernaut gaming company but management they went in all direction based only on 1 IP.

Relientk77788d ago

We are definitely getting an Angry Birds Sonic edition

DarXyde788d ago

I feel like that was kind of what Shadow the Hedgehog was.

Plenty of edge and seething, and if you played it traditionally (without weapons), Shadow throws himself at enemies.

... Similar enough

Fonsecap788d ago

Nah, we're getting Alexx "The Angry" Kid :)

FinalFantasyFanatic787d ago

Oh god, a mobile game about Angry Sonic, I suppose we already have Ugly Sonic, why not?

Sega upping their own value if anyone wants to acquire them! Not just getting console expertise but mobile now as well.

GameBoyColor788d ago

I doubt being acquired is in their plans. I used to think sega was in the dumps like capcom was in 2012-2014 but they own so many arcades, pachinko machines, and they publish western games in japan. They were able to buy out atlus and now this company, i think they in a position to not be touched.

Viljong788d ago

Nice everything in finland is for sale. We even sold nokia and our own electricity network so global corporations can charge us from something that is made with taxpayer money.

Shane Kim788d ago

Hey, kinda sounds like Sweden.

darkrider788d ago

Sega got angry birds. That's crazy. How did Microsoft let this one escape

thesoftware730788d ago

They were too busy buying the company that wasn't tanking. You know the top-rated ones.

Good for Sega, maybe they can right the ship.

LG_Fox_Brazil788d ago

The top-rated ones managed by rapists, you mean

Sega Nears Deal For ‘Angry Birds’ Mobile Game Maker

The Japan-based entertainment conglomerate is expected to pay about $1 billion for Rovio Entertainment.

sparky77791d ago

If you want to remain relevant you need a mobile powerhouse. MS got Minecraft, maybe King soon, T2 got Zynga, EA got Glu, Tencent got most of the other big ones.

Sony is likely looking for one too or they will be left behind.

Vengeance1138790d ago

Sony already owns the #2 highest grossing mobile game ever in Fate/Grand Order.
That game is close to Genshin Impact levels of monthly revenue.

Lifexline791d ago

Well angry birds still makes money so it’s not a dead horse. They just need another hit.

darthv72791d ago

Angry Sonic, Angry Tails, Angry Amy, Angry Knuckles, Angry Chaos....

Lifexline791d ago

Lol yeah you would be surprised at what could sell. I could see it.

porkChop790d ago

Angry Taxi might actually work.

blackblades791d ago (Edited 791d ago )

Looks like something MS would grab. I wont be surprised some how ms gets Sega with this included magically.

-Foxtrot790d ago

We could fund more games like Sonic Mania

We could buy the music rights back to Sonic 3

We could reboot some old franchises like Ristar, Shinobi, Gunstar Heroes or Golden Axe

...Nah. Angry Birds it is

Snookies12791d ago

Wait, have they even made anything since then? Thought they were a one-hit wonder lol.

darthv72791d ago

I didn't know they did a bunch of stuff prior to Angry Birds:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wi...

Pretty much everything since has been a spin off. Now maybe Sega will make Angry Chaos or something similar.

FallenAngel1984791d ago

Mojang only made one game and Microsoft still purchased them for $4 billion

Sometimes one property is all you need especially when it’s lucrative

MadLad790d ago

Angry Birds fell out of relevance years ago, but whatever they want to do lol.
