My hope, a hope that is almost certainly not going to be what happens, is that Nintendo's influence will not only make Mario & Sonic at the Olympics good, but be what turns Sega around and into a force to be reckoned with again. What can I say, I love Sega and I'll remain optimistic forever that they can come back from this.

QuoteI've had this hope since the controller was revealed, except in a different way. I thought that the innovation would spark something in SEGA, and since so many of their franchises (especially the arcadey-style ones) are perfectly suited to the controller, their game quality would turn around.

Think about it - Panzer Dragoon, NiGHTS, arcade racers, light gun games, Samba de Amigo, Shenmue, sports games etc etc. So far they've actually gone ahead with quite a few of these projects, but unfortunately they aren't looking too hot.
I'm holding out for Panzer Dragoon - it will be announced sooner or later, and it will be awesome.

So, while we're on Sonic/SEGA, anyone know what happens to Bioware's Sonic RPG now that they've been bought by EA?
It has been turned into Madden and friends, should be great stuff!
