But there's nothing out there that sparks the possibility of Nintendo buying out SEGAExactly. If Sega becomes a second party developper, similar to GameFreaks for exemple, then it could happen easily.
And I finnally see want I wanted to see "I know it's unlikely, but I'm not giving up hope just yet". This sound way more rational
Raiden for Smash.
Well, supposedly (and don't quote me on this), Sega and Nintendo's deal has been "extended", by no longer considering the latest Mario and Sonic game part of their three game deal. While, if true, it's not proof positive of a possible long-term business relationship between the two, it certainly is a step in that direction. Though Sega will never stop making games for every system, Sonic Team might become Nintendo's "step-child", making Sonic himself (as well as NiGHTS, Amigo, etc.), but not Sega, exclusive to the Big N. I'm not going to lie and say I wouldn't be ecstatic to hear of Miyamoto making a new NiGHTS (which he's expressed interest in doing).
I don't see how they would just purchase Sonic Team and not SEGA itself. Until I see more evidence of Nintendo buying out SEGA, I don't believe it.
Shadow doesn't have to use guns, I've seen a fan video on YouTube about how Shadow can use the Chaos Control as a unique moveset style.
This would just wind up as another clone(in this case of Sonic) which most of us are tried of in Smash. (Sure there are bound to be a few but I'd rather they be unique as possible.) Tails can fly which has possibilities for a kirby like recovery and a drop out of it quickly and fight like a crazy air fighter. He can also swing his two tails around and smash/hit the other characters with it which I think would be unique in a combo chain and add to the usual sonic moves. For a final Smash you could have him fly in on his aircraft and shoot all the other players. Shadow basically has a possible movset that adds nothing to all those homing attacks and running with chaos control being a black mirror image of Super Sonic.
I hate the idea of any Sonic character being in, but I would be less buttflustered if it were Eggman.
I'm pretty sure you ignored the video, it explains how Shadow would not be a clone of Sonic
He's more popular with fans of the Dreamcast era. And he's seen as the "cool" character to many. Usually, the dark and edgy types tend to be the most popular of the bunch. I can't explain why, but antithesis characters might be more relate-able to the general audience. Or they are just more likable to the classic bad guys like Eggman, Wily, or Bowser. But it's not to say that Shadow wouldn't offer anything unique, he could given he has extra tricks up his sleeves. But I wouldn't put him on Eggman's level of potential.
Exactly. Sega would have to be insane to sell of their biggest moneymaker.
It would be a nightmare for SEGA, so it makes more sense for Nintendo to buy up SEGA, but if I had a source that proves this possibility, I'd believe in it.
Yes and I love playing what ifs. I think tails might have a few sonic moves but he'd be more unique than shadow. I've never played Sonic Adventure 2(which is the game Shadow premiered in) but I did see the trailers and he just seems to play like a black colored Sonic.
Shadow could be unique. I actually like Shadow, but I feel like SEGA tried to force everyone to like him. I'd rather just have the two-tailed fox over him.
I'd strongly recommend you play Sonic Adventure 2! You'll like it!
Look, man! Shadow was highly popular as an anti-hero, fans wanted to know his backstory a little more, that's the reason why they had Shadow the Hedgehog 2005
He was highly popular to the people who played SA2. But, we knew most of his backstory. Most people wanted to know what happened to him. And, Shadow the Hedgehog '05 wasn't a very good Sonic the Hedgehog game. I know it was about Shadow, and they were trying to show how different he was from Sonic, but it was as if they were trying to put Shadow in a totally different universe than the rest of the cast.
You are obviously new here.
This leak seems to be more credible than a previous leak I've seen about Shadow before, but I think it's a fake. Whoever did this really knew what they were doing.
Not a bad one, but the pixels are a bit too edgy around Shadow's face.
Comparing the two, I saw some dissimilarity. Shadow still has every right to be playable even if it was fake.
What are the differences in the two?
We're not likely to see a second Sonic representative at e3. A second Sonic rep full stop isn't at all likely, it would be an immense shock. Also 'The Year of Sonic' is hardly worth noting, it's a unoriginal and half-hearted marketing ploy from SEGA. I doubt Sakurai is even aware that it's the year of Sonic, let alone willing to pay any heed to it.
Like I said, never say never!
...Yes, we have.
I don't care who gets in from the Sonic franchise as playable, just as long as it's not Knuckles. And giving up is the last thing I would do.
Umm, idk. Cbeck with me after the seventh smash game.
