LimeTH Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 (edited) just dropping here Rouge: Skill Espio: All Around Big: Power Classic Sonic: Speed Jet, Omega, Chaos 0, Eggman Nega: Rivals Cream, Wave, Storm, Charmy, Chip: referee + cameos Rosalina: Power Diddy Kong: Speed Toadsworth: Skill Baby Mario: All Around Dry Bowser, Petey, King Boo, Birdo : RIVALS Toad, Toadette, Lakitu, Shy Guy, Koopas : referee + cameos I pretty much agree with this. This is a good roster (especally Classic Sonic and Rosalina) Though instead of Baby Mario as a counterpart to Classic Sonic, we need this guy instead.

Your Vest Friend Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 More than likely. I don't mind waiting, since all they'd show now is probably CG anyway, while at E3 we'll probably get that CG trailer, as well as hands-on impressions and gameplay footage recorded from the press.

speedfreak Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Isn't it already confirmed that there are only 20 characters? Such bullshit! :/ They keep giving us these halfassed mini-game crossovers that no one really wants and they can't even be bothered to AT LEAST go a little crazy on the fan service. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaN Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I think that is what they want us to believe... I?m expecting at least 4 more playables just like last time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaidynReiman Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I'd wait a while before taking this for granted. I mean, come on... they've GOT to add more characters in a sequel. Its insane if they don't, and I don't know of any Sonic spinoff sequel that didn't add new characters to it (even Black Knight maintained all the multiplayer characters from Secret Rings 'cept for maybe Cream... I don't know if she was in Secret Rings or not... and also added Jet and Arthur... not to mention the fact that Shadow, Blaze, and Knuckles were added as playables to the main game). I don't know of a Mario spinoff sequel that didn't add more playable characters, either. Some games may have REMOVED characters and replaced them with existing ones... The Riders games are one example, but they never removed any core characters (only SEGA characters and generic robots). You could technically consider Secret Rings to be an example, as the multiplayer is similar to Sonic Shuffle, and in Secret Rings they did not bring back Gamma, Big, Chao, or Super Sonic. Even then, that isn't likely to happen here, either. Can anyone name a Sonic spinoff sequel that didn't add new characters to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LimeTH Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Didn't they say they weren't adding in any new characters to Sonic Free Riders, and we ended up getting Metal Sonic and Vector? They might be pulling our legs, or 20 characters plus unlockables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, you can come to that conclusion based on the 0 seconds of footage we've seen and the tiny bit of info we have? You sir, must be psychic. Also, as Hunter said, the previous games have had quite a lot of fan service. (the second more than the first) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midori Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 It would be nice if the theme was changed. It's not like a Mario+Sonic crossover wouldn't work without being set in Olympics x_x;; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackherox Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 (edited) It would be nice if the theme was changed. It's not like a Mario+Sonic crossover wouldn't work without being set in Olympics x_x;; Well no, but its not in either Sega or Nintendo interests (at least at this moment in time). Edit: I mean honestly a platformer crossover would be overkill for Sega or Nintendo right now, and since Sega hold the Olympic license its seems natural that they'd go down this path.

How would it be overkill? I mean yeah at this point I wouldn't even want it on the Wii, but it would be a really nice showcase for Project Cafe. Plus it isn't the Olympics thing that's selling these games, it's the fact that Mario and Sonic characters are together. I don't think too many people care about the Olympics aspect.

Tobbii Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I don't think a Mario/Sonic platformer would work, it just seems as if their playstyles wouldn't match well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigo Rush Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 (edited) I don't think a Mario/Sonic platformer would work, it just seems as if their playstyles wouldn't match well. Just do a dual-world gameplay thing, like in Sonic Unleashed. But instead of the Werehog, you play as Mario. Have Mario go through Sonic levels and have Sonic go through Mario levels, have them meet up and defeat Bowser and Eggman in the end, and call it Mario & Sonic Adventure.

speedfreak Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 (edited) Meh, it could be done. It wouldn't have to play exactly like a Mario or Sonic game. Just make a fun platformer where Mario and Sonic are chained together or something and you switch between the two (think Sonic Heroes) for different sections of the level that are better suited to each of their skills. It might not be perfect but it would be MUCH better then a new mini game collection every couple of years IMO. :/ I honestly think it could be done rather easily if they decided to make it a 2D platformer. Sure some compromises would have to be made to each gameplay style here and there, but I think it would be worth it.

Now I was glad with Smash Brothers, Sonic being in that was great, but I just don't get why they need to have a Mario & Sonic franchise. Then again, maybe a Mario VS Sonic platformer would make me change my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nepenthe Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 I too always thought the team thing would work for a Mario and Sonic platformer, (you know, if it had better AI than in Heroes). Use one character to help the other cross specific obstacles, and use both together to solve more complicated puzzles together. Take level themes and obstacles from both series. Have Nintendo make it. You'll be sounding like Charlie Sheen in no time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
