Hope you liked Sonic and the Secret Rings, as Sega president Simon Jeffery told Newsweek the Wii game was one of the company's first steps towards reinventing what the world perceives as Sonic. Even though Sonic the Hedgehog appears to have performed well commercially for the company, they seem to have recognized the 3D adventures in recent years haven't done much for the core fans.

We are actually undergoing a fairly considerable refresh of Sonic as an intellectual property, as a character.


What that means? A break from Sonic games.

Simon Jeffery Wrote:
We're not going to be bringing another game out on the other platforms for quite some time, because we feel that it is time to reinvent Sonic, to make Sonic contemporary again. At the same time, even the recent 360 and Playstation 3 games have sold extremely well. Sonic is still an extremely endearing character; there's still a lot of love for Sonic out there in consumerland.


So, looks like no Sonic games for awhile huh?

Reinvent sonic?

Not again..
What are they going to do this time?!

Bring him into the 4th demension!! lol
i wonder what they'll do. as long as sonic is in brawl i dont care what happens next.
you mean not in Brawl ^_^
I'm pretty sure that he did want Sonic to be in Brawl. I sorta want him to be in Brawl as well...just for a punching bag ^_^
i think the flop of the next-gen sonic games is what caused this reinvention.

hopefully they go with something more side scrolling(old school). they could even keep it 2D and still make it look outstanding. alien hominid HD for the xbox live arcade looks incredible and its a 2D side scroller.
