Sonic's creator teases something new

by Justin McElroy on Sep 22nd 2008 2:10PM

Ms. Naka: Janene, has Sonic seemed a bit ... off to you?
Janene: Why, how do you mean? Sure, he's a little rambunctious, but --
Ms. Naka: No, it's more than that. He's spinning around town with the wrong crowd, he pawned all my gold rings to buy, well, other gold rings ...
Janene: No! His own mother's rings?!
Ms. Naka: It's true. Ever since Prope -- you know, Yuji's studio? -- put up that teaser image about a new game it's going to reveal in 17 days, Sonic's just been completely out of control!
Janene: Oh, Doris, that's perfectly natural. Yuji created Sonic, and now he's making something new. The little blue guy's just afraid he won't be the favorite any more.
Ms. Naka: ... Oh, God, are you joking? We haven't loved him for years. Did you not play Sonic and the Secret Rings?

And here I thought the penguin craze ended in 2006...

idgi

wtf

Pen Pen TriIcelon 2?!

Ludwig is gonna tear your ass a new one, Justin.

Nope, even I hate Secret Rings.

I love Sonic, I hate Naka.

I don't get why people hate Naka so much. He did a decent job of trying to make a 3D Sonic, despite his ego problems. It was when Takashi Iizuka increasingly got more control over the series that the games started to suck.

Adventure 2? Iizuka. (Don't try disputing this. The knuckle stages were crap and it started the "Run forward over a pit" school of Sonic stages.) Heroes? Iizuka. Shadow? Iizuka. 06? Iizuka. Nights:JoD? Iizuka. (I know its not Sonic, but still).

A game that even penguins can play...

Is that the waggle train I hear.

No. That would be the "waddle" train.

Here comes the waggle train: fap-fap-fap-fAP-FAP-FAP

trains to fap they chugalug

@ Shag

Is there anything in this world that ,in your opinion, doesn't make a FAP-FAP-FAP-FAP sound?

masturbating

"trains to fap they chugalug"

Its a steam engine.

you damn well better not be implying that Secret Rings was a bad game, Justin

Everyone's entitled to their opinion, but they better be ready to defend it, and the hours i sunk into it make my case particularly powerful ;)

...but your Wario icon destroys any credibility.

what? I should switch back to T-bone and Razor?

Nobody can argue with the SWAT Kats

I liked secret rings too. The controls weren't perfect, but once you upgraded them it was very fun.

Sonic and the Secret rings was good. Wario is awesome.

Thank you and goodnight.

Waddle Like a Penguin... a Wii-exclusive title making extensive use of the WiiFit board...!

Gah, don't mention Wii Fit! I still can't find it. .__.

I liked Secret Rings...

This guy like the games two timeS!!

They're developing something for Linux now? Please?

lol, didn't even make that connection.

linux ftw.

That's a good way to put it. So was the text at the bottom Justin's doing?

The first ever penguin MMO. I'm in.

I bet you are!

Club Penguin - Waddle around and meet new friends!

I was thinking more along the lines of being a penguin butler and serving only the richest nobles. Of course, after the work is done and everyone is gone I's loosen up the bowtie and really get wild.

In that case, I'm in!

Slide!

Regardless of the nay-sayers out there that hate on Sonic and the fact Sonic has had a few poor titles in recent years, I will always love the blue blur.

It's Sonic Ultimate Genesis Collection coming out for 360 and PS3... Ooo, scandalous...

Regardless of whether or not you liked Secret Rings, can't everyone agree that Sonic the Hedgehog (360) was way worse and, as such, is more entitle to being the reason the Nakas hate Sonic?

Ech. Even i didn't like that, and i felt that Shadow the hedgehog was passable, just with a horrid story

Sonic 2006 had the core gameplay, but with horrid load-times and an even worse story (unless you're the kind that likes human-anthro furry action)

yikes

Who gives an ass about the story in a Sonic game? The game was crap, with or without it.

It's Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection for 360 and PS3... Ooo, scandalous...

Remember that game where you were that dude who wacked a penguin as far as possible with your giant club?

Penguin Baseball?

YUP.

Haha great post!

Secret Rings was awesome, McElroy. You best not be disrespectin' the best Sonic game since CD.
And if you continue to disagree, I have a broken broom handle that would love me MEET YOUR SECRET RINGS HATING ASS.

Pengo??

I also enjoyed Secret rings...

Woah! Copyright infringement, dood!
