God Bless America! I say that in an angry tone like my mom used to do when I broke something. I would rather not think about this Media Summit, but now I am expecting at least either Donkey Kong, Star Fox, F-Zero or Kid Iccarus. How could I not get excited after reading such claims?

Ok seriously guys, sonic in galaxy 2? It's just a gigantic impossibility for so many reasons, mostly gameplay construction, they'd have to make an entirely new set of levels for sonic. They'd never do it.... ever. Ever. We were lucky enough to get luigi in galaxy to begin with. They don't throw enough of a bone to their own characters to ever give two sh'ts about sega's, and then actually put him in a real mario game. Maybe I've been duped and this was always a joke, but Sonic Team killed sonic forever. Deadsies.

Optimistically, Nintendo will address one of their major franchises that hasn't seen a Wii iteration yet. Probably, they'll give harder release dates for Galaxy and Metroid, and lets you know that Zelda has a release date of neverE10^9. (Yes, Giganever). Impossibly, Nintendo ever does anything more with sonic than throw him on a track to perpetuate the ridiculous notion that he could be beaten by slow-ass, fat-ass, plumber-cracked mario.

As a longtime veteran of the console wars, I still seek vengeance for the Genesis commercials that mocked Mario Kart and the SNES for speed.

What if it's a Sonic Suit in a special area named Green Zone Galaxy?

But here is what we know we can expect on Wednesday;
and it will all likely be hands on (mentioned by IGN)
DSi XL
WarioWare DIY
Prince of Persia
America’s Test Kitchen
Pokémon HeartGold / SoulSilver

The more I think about it, the more I expect them to not even mention Zelda at this thing, saving that for a big thing at E3.

I don't want to see Sonic in a main-line Mario game for the simple reason that it would taint both franchises. It would be like Captain Kirk going through an inter-dimensional rift and finding himself on Tattooine, or some weird crap like that. Sure, it might sound good superficially to fans of either the star trek and/or the Star Wars franchise if Chewbacca started ripping limbs off Klingons, but in the long term it would destroy both franchises.

Have you ever heard of the phrase "jumping the shark"? That's exactly what would happen if Sonic appeared in a real Mario game (or vice versa). A line would have been crossed that could never be undone, no matter how hard we would wish it would be.

Having Sonic crossover with Mario in some Casual Olympics crap or in a party game or smash bros. is one thing, but for God's sake let's leave it at that.

If Sonic appeared in a Mario game, at least that game wouldn't suck.

I disagree, on the grounds that Chewbacca ripping limbs off Klingons is AWESOME, but also because George Lucas already destroyed Star Wars, and Star Trek Enterprise damn near did the same for Star Trek.

Sonic in Galaxy? It's amazing what the human mind can be fooled into believing. Simply amazing.

Luigi Dude · « **Reply #63 on:** February 23, 2010, 02:45:32 PM »

The reason people would like to see Sonic appear in Mario Galaxy is because it means we'd finally see a 3D Sonic done right. Now nobody is believing that it's really going to happen, but it doesn't stop people from wishing it would.

Plus if it was true, I don't see why some of you are so against the idea. According to the rumor it said that Sonic would only be playable in the Green Hill Galaxy. Since the average Galaxy in Mario Galaxy had about 6-7 stars in it, this means Sonic would only be playable for a small part of the game. In other words, Sonic role in the game would be nothing more then a cameo really.

Peachylala · « **Reply #64 on:** February 23, 2010, 03:30:52 PM »

OR... Sonic appearing in the game is really just a suit for Mario to wear, which grants him his running abilities.

I would like the main three and Eggman to appear, the rest of the Sonic cast can **** off.

Chozo Ghost · « **Reply #65 on:** February 23, 2010, 04:01:56 PM »

I think the best thing that could happen to the Sonic franchise is if Nintendo purchases Sega and started making the Sonic games with their own stellar level of quality.

I made that same suggestion. Seems like people don't want to see it happen.

if Nintendo bought sega that would be awesome, but keep Sonic out of Mario, Mario appearing in a sonic game..ok

It's not that people don't want it to happen; it's just a poor business move.

I have always wished Nintendo bought Sega because it would add a ton of franchise potential to the Nintendo line-up. I really miss the Nintendo/Rare combo, and the thing thats better than Nintendo/Rare would Be Nintendo/Sega. Rare made a couple of franchises, but none of them are prolific to hold a console on their own. Sega on the other hand has held consoles on their own. Nintendo has always been criticzed for relying to much on old franchises, but if they did buy Sega they could rely on old Franchises that are different

. If Nintendo bought Sega i could see Yuji Naka, and Yu Sazuki knocking on Sega's door again, I can also see them managing the brands and franchises better. Not only that it would fill some holes in Nintendo's lineups. Sega has the shooting, racing, and fighting games Nintendo doesn't. They would also become exclusive. If Nintendo had a drought in Mario releases there would be Sonic releases to back it up. Maybe, just maybe those franchises could be revived in quality too. I really liked my Dreamcast. Plus i want to finally kill Land Di!!! The liklihood of Nintendo buying Sega in then next couple of days is zip, Nintendo doesn't do the thing people expect or wish for. I kinda expect this to be a summit with more of the same honestly.

I'm so glad you said Aussie at the top of that post because MH3 was almost off the list.

edit: But I dropped the ball on this one. I had the wrong twitter linked before and got caught up playing The Conduit when the AUS Summit had started.
