If I was in World War 2,
They'd call me Spitfire.

Japan can now experience the averageness...

Oh yes. Seriously though, if they get better music heads will roll.

No, heads will roll if they get CG cutscenes and extra chapters.

There's always the ultimate kicker of someone having listened to feedback and changed that ending. But unfortunately, those're very long odds.

The MoFo's rules are this way, and they're still mandatory reading before posting...

oro?

It would be hilarious that the reason that it took so long to bring it to Japan was to improve everything that was bad about the game since it would be competing with an even larger and arguably better DS RPG market, and treating this as being Sonic's few chances for a decent marketshare over there.

Even more hilarious if there is little to no change at all and it would be desinated as a kusoge title in the 2ch community.

I am the only one who had to look up on Google just what that meant?

I'm more interested to find out if the script is changed. Particularly Sonic because SoJ does have a different opinion of what Sonic should be like, against everyone else in the world.

A drunken sandwich

Sega actually had to apologize to the fans for putting out a game of inferior quality

So why haven't they done this for SonicNEXT?

shakespeare gets so tired of time travellers telling him not to listen to his mp3s because of all the anachronism he's causing. shakespeare just wants to ROCK!

Maybe SEGA secretly hates Sonic the Hedgehog despite how much income the franchise bring...which explains a lot.

^Craig's conclusion in the Shadow the Hedgehog commentary. I think Satan was involved.

Because 2D fighting games are serious #%%$#!@ business. More serious than their mascot character in one of the worst games ever.

Looking at that list the games on it seem to be more massive let downs rather than out and out god awful games. Mind you if they did go after the worst games ever it'll probably something that Ubisoft releases for the DS. Every year.

Reality whenever...
Gaming forever.

My only real hope for the release of Sonic Chronicles in Japan is the slim chance that it will inspire the natives to take a crack at a proper Sonic RPG themselves.

EDIT: oh, and maybe they can revive this concept for delicious lulz

Sega 02: "SONIC TEAM. The Sonic Team development studio was established to execute the wishes of Sega."
Sega 03: "It was intended to enact the business strategy we had created."
Sega 05: "However, it appears to have become dominated by a single, zealous individual."
Sega 04: "Yes it has. We must take it back into our own dominion."
Sega 01: "It is time. We must restore SONIC TEAM and the Sonic series to their proper role."

"Iizuka, you will take responsibility for betraying Sega."

And have Reiko Kodama and the Valkryia Chronicles team involvement. And have it be an original entry instead of continuing the story from Chronicles.

Wait, does the game have to bomb or be a success in Japan to make that dream happen?

Shocking plot twist: Amy is Sonic's sister. *shot*

Better: SEGA is bought by Nintendo and the Mario & Luigi people do it.

What is wrong the current set up for a Chronicles sequel? The whole Robotnik rules the world and Sonic and his friends have to beat him. And I did think Shade was pretty cool, needs a name change though.

Original Recolor

People began liking Eggman as an incompetent villain apparently.

Some concepts and general atmosphere reeked in the first game and I rather see a brand new game that doesn't reference anything there. Most of the time games feel much more satifiying when creators treat it as a one-shot deal instead of planning it before hand as some big exavagant saga that will span for X amount of games.

Sonic V2:

"People began liking Eggman as an incompetent villain apparently."

But not really.

Vec:

"Better: SEGA is bought by Nintendo and the Mario & Luigi people do it."

They don't need to be bought by Nintendo for this to happen. Intelligent Systems is a fine choice also.

Either way, it'll mostly depend on whether anyone over there feels they can surpass what the "gaijin" did with the Sonic RPG concept. Shouldn't be too hard, really.

Hm. That day might not be too far off. I guess it'll depend on whether or not Alpha Dream feels a "Sonic & Tails/Knuckles/Blaze" game could be done without completely aping M&L's unique gameplay style. And, you know... if Nintendo's cool with it.

Then they can roll out Mario & Sonic.

Sister Sonic... what if instead of being about Sonic's sister it was actually about Sonic becoming a nun.

If you couldn't care less, you are at the utmost point of not caring. You don't care at all, and thus it is impossible to care any less than you already do. However, if you could care less, you're essentially admitting to caring at least a little, as it is possible that the level of concern you currently feel could be lower.

The japanese site has been updated. The game will be called Sonic Chronicles: Invaders from the Dark Dimension. The trailer shows some new footage at the beginning but I don't know if that will in the final game.

Evil on Board

I doubt it. I recognize the area they show at the beginning as the beginning Voxai colony area.
Also, a couple of the early trailers before the games release had some CG footage in it that wasn't in the final game. Case in point:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nO6OKmbSJZ4- Regular trailer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hafv_HJcKCU- Enemies trailer

Although if the Japanese version did get some exclusive stuff, then that would just be sad. :<
