Seems like less Sonic games this year...

Compared to previous years it seems like there's less Sonic games coming out which isn't nessciarily a bad thing. It seemed like for the last five or six years we got about 4 or 5 Sonic games a year (of course that pales in comparison to the number of Mario games that come out in a year).

Still at the "All Things Sega Union" we've been in agreement that we think Sonic needs a break and the Sonic Team needs to sit down and think about the series. We like the Sonic games but I think we all agree they all have room for improvement whether it's long load times, some touchy controls or some gameplay elements that just aren't fun.

This year all we have is Sonic Riders 2 and Sonic Chroncles. I mean there's Brawl but that's Nintendo's project.

Of course none of the major game trade shows have happened yet and that's usually when new games are revealed and there's been rumors of the Sonic Team trying once more at a "Next Gen attempt." Let's hope if they try to make another "Sonic Adventure" type of game that this time they aren't being rushed by Sega to finish it in a certain amount of time. That's the biggest problem is Sonic games don't get delayed and though delays suck, they lead to better final products.

I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Agreed. It's time for the rest of the Sonic Team cast to take over! XD NiGHTS II turned out to be very decent (in my opinion), and if Gearbox Software screws Samba de Amigo up, well... They simply cannot lay waste to the maraca formula, or I shall hunt them down! >X-[ Also, we shouldn't forget about that Space Channel 5 rumor you mentioned at TNU.

Sonic, you're way past cool, but it's time to take a breather and allow other way past cool franchises to step up to the plate and take their swing at revival.
