Sorry to burst your bubble, but "x has shot itself in a foot" is a famous meme coming from NeoGAF, when someone wants to make up retarded meltdown they always include something about shooting in the foot and being expert in japanese culture.

Turning Sonic into a Nintendo exclusive franchise is a serious slap in the face. With Sonic (2006) we got a glimpse of a hopeful future for our beloved childhood friend in a gaming world full of rich textures and high polygon models, and with Sonic Generations, SEGA made a statement to the entire gaming world that no fan who grew up supporting their company and even starting schoolyard fights over their beloved blue versus that fat red plumber. When I have my kids hopefully over the next 10 years, their first games will be whatever modern port of the classic genesis games were so they learn the majesty of what SEGA was, and how simple it is to make someone happy by acknowledging simple genius mechanics, like the addition of the spin dash or the effect shields. As for the arguments that Sonic belonged on Nintendo for their port of Sonic Adventure, I proudly point out the availability of these games on Xbox LIVE made my 360 purchase well worth the cost of the console just to play those nostalgic titles from my  youth. Although not historically recognized by the wide gaming community as a good game, Sonic (2006) was a beautiful gift from the SEGA Corp. showing the resilience and spirit all of us who were faithful to our favorite hero, and with critics aside, presented a rich world of beautiful texture and depth no Sonic game a the time had the technical ability to produce. And with Sonic Generations, fans of all ages, newcomers discovering our lightspeed hero for the first time and veterans of the ever escalating war with egghead were given a hearty reminder of why we fell in love with this cocky cobalt Erinaceinae, many of us from his start in '91 and shown SEGA hadn't forgotten us by making it available to the entire world through whatever console we prefer to have. Nintendo has a proven track record of being behind the power curve and catering only to the younger audience, being a child's company and for the most part ignoring a major portion of gaming revenue from the original soldiers of NES vs Genesis wars. Playstation and Xbox owners love their consoles, as do PC gamers love their rigs, and all of them view the WiiU as inferior. it's market caters to the young and naïve, whereas the other three major settings continue pushing their hard and software to the graphical limits, mass marketing to all age groups with everything from Call of Duty and Assassins Creed for the mature audiences to The Avengers and Sonic... oh wait, I forgot about how SEGA is making plans to deny 3/4 of the market from continuing the adventures of our hyper active insectivore. I'm not buying a WiiU just to pay another $180 for my childhood hero. Instead, I humbly request you not allow the bastard plumber to triumph over his only real competitor through eternity and continue with the same spirit of loyalty to your fans and supporters that was showcased in Sonic Generations. Encompass that magic to continue producing worthwhile tales of adventure with essence of speed and allow the world to hear your battlecry: SEGA does what Nintendon't.

Though no longer producing hardware, the bastard plumber must never dethrone our champion!

Gamers are so tribal no? I am very much only in the Nintendo camp, but I was never ever like that. Not with Soul Calibur 3, not with Sonic Generations or anything. I mean I was upset, but this is the kind of hate that runs on extensive amounts of energy.

And now with twitter and the rest of the internet all the ugly things man kind is capable of that we used to think didn't exist have voice through social media. Still it's great for laughs!

So whats the next franchise that rest of the gaming world goes kong s*** bananas for? I have a feeling a new one is coming for E3. Hey let's make a game out of it! Please please please! To late starting a thread now!

can we play fallacy bingo with that thread?

I'm right there with you, Cater. Social media has especially made the negative folks come out of the bushes. It's a bit absurd.

I, too, really hope another big name third party game gets announced as exclusive for Wii U. Not to deter from Sonic: Lost World discussion, but part of me hopes that it's either Final Fantasy XV or Kingdom Hearts 3. That'd be a colossal megastorm of fury all across the internet.

But yeah, that Sonic: Lost World. Count me in. If this is Sonic Team getting help from Nintendo devs to make an awesome Sonic game, then I'm quite looking forward to what this could turn in to. The lone screenshot of a Super Mario Galaxy-esque  planetoid gives me hope. So, who knows? Should be interesting to see it progress.

final fantasy XV on 3DS makes more since, and it will cause a bigger firestorm so

I am a Sonic and Nintendo fan, so for me to have his games on a Nintendo System doesn't bug me one bit because it is PURE WIN!
