Edited 😛

Yup. Seems like it's really cold... In Michigan...

This could easily be a prank...let's not fall into it. XD;

Weirder things have happened.

GUESS WHO GOT REVEALED AS PLAYABLE IN SONIC 4!

It just takes you to the MoFo Chat. o.O

And guess what! You just fell into a prank.

Ah, I was wondering if there was something I was missing. Sorry bout popping in and then out twice, heh, heh.

Oh god, not another Rickroll. D:

"Nintendo's superior ninjas were quick to silence the leak, but it was too late. They have failed to prevent company secrets from getting out, and for this they inflict upon themselves the ultimate punishment. Meanwhile, Sega's ninjas enjoy ice tea and trolling Sonic forums online at their leisure, all the while grateful that this time it wasn't their fault."

I don't believe it. I've always thought of Miyamoto as a bit too proud to include a non-Mario Universe character into one of his projects. Even as a superflous extra. I can see Intelligent Systems doing this for Paper Mario, but EAD? No way. I think someone's having a bit of fun at Ngamer's expense.

EDIT:

April's coming, did you bring your coat?

You know, with the industry the way it is these days, it must be harder for these magazines to fool people on April. I guess pre-emptive tweets is a bit meta, but hey. Let's get with the times, it's cheaper than producing a Hollywood epic trailer for a movie we all (don't) want made.

xD! Nice one GT. But yea...Sonic in Galaxy 2...no way. Don't believe it for a second.

Thank you, Twitter, for adding fuel to the fire.

Let the insanity begin.

Judging by that screenshot, Tails will also feature, and both in their  Pre-Adventure designs.

You forgot your .

Some people might think you're serious.

Oh, I am serious. Deadly serious.

*j-j-j-joker face, j-j-joker face*

I'd rather Nintendo just bought out SEGA, or at least the franchise.

It's obvious SEGA is not competent enough to make a decent Sonic game.

I think it says something when you end up having a bestiality undertone in what should be an all ages game.

I'm starting to get irritated when the Sonic/Elise gets refered to as "beastiality". I mean, she just kissed him. She didn't +@%% him.

And besides, its not like its new. No one so much as bats an eyelid when Brian gets into an intimate relationship with human women in Family Guy. And who's fussing over Roger Rabbit's marriage to Jessica Rabbit (who most definately is not a Leporid).

Not to mention that Sonic has had inter-species romance at some level since 1993(or 2001 if you want to limit things to the games).

OK, I'll bite. Explain your second point there - are you meaning Sonic the character himself, or the Sonic games overall? Cos if you're meaning the latter, and referring as I think you are to Shadow and Maria in SA2, then that doesn't really count as "romance". That was more a brother/sister kind of relationship, nothing more. =P

Considering the Sonic Multiverse as a whole, the Sonic/Sally pairing has been around since Sonic's earliest forays into media other than video games. Limiting it to the games themselves, a significant portion of the fanbase has charged Rogue with flirting with various male characters(Knuckles and Shadow being the most common targets), and some even seriously support such pairings. Whether the latter is legitimate or the result of overactive imaiginations is debatable, but I have never seen anyone criticize these pairings for being interspecies.

I too interpret the Shadow/Maria relationship as being fraternal in nature.

At least those are still animal-animal. Sonic and Elise is animal-human and brings up lots of horrible images. Of course it wouldn't be the first time it's been considered. Remember Sonic x Madonna?

That was creepy too, and it never got out of the concept stage.

At least those are still animal-animal. Sonic and Elise is animal-human and brings up lots of horrible images.

Considering that humans are part of kingdom animalia, Sonic and Elise would still be animal-animal, and mammal-mammal to be more specific. Crossing of orders, but so is Hedgehog-Squirrel, Hedgehog-Bat, and Echidna-Bat.

I wonder if so many would complain about Sonic and Elise if Sonic 2K6 had been the S3K of 3D Sonics.

I would. The very ideas disturbs me to no end.

I'm sorry, but did someone in this thread actually attempt to rationalize a love affair between a mascot costume and a Real Doll? And did they compare it to comedic/non-serious romances between really cartoon-ish characters?

Ooh! Yeah, that was me! Hi~!

This topic has gone way off track, so if anyone wants I'll start a new topic for this off-shoot discussion.

I will take care of both for ya' Blue.

Getting back on track... firstly on the note of Nintendo taking over altogether. I think Nintendo buying out SEGA would be more likely than them buying out Sonic as a franchise. Honestly, I'd be welcome to either scenario. Perhaps if Sega became a studio under Nintendo, the big N would be able to provide SEGA with better budgets and time frames for Sonic games. Or if Ninendo took over in general... well? If you asked me about this five years ago, I'd say no... just no... but I believe it's just gotten to the point where ANY change would be an improvement. I mean, as it is, between taking in Sega as a third-party developer, and the constant crossovers, Sonic the Hedgehog is clearly on Nintendo's life-support system. Considering all of his multi-console games typically sell more on Nintendo's console than the other two COMBINED, the statement that Sonic would not have survived this long without Nintendo, doesn't sound very unsupported.

That being said, I'd say, given the opportunity, I'd give Nintendo a chance with Sonic.

Secondly, on the MAIN topic, of Sonic being playable in SMG2. Clearly this is a blatant lie. Believe it or not, I'd welcome the idea. But it just doesn't seem possible. But just to play devil's advocate, we once thought we'd never see Sonic in Smash Bros. What happened? We never thought we'd see an all-out Sonic/Mario crossover game. What happened? I think though, if Sonic was a playable character, and the two were joining forces in an all-out platformer game, the title from the very start would have been announce with "Mario and Sonic" included in it.

Thus, this = lie. I wouldn't put an idea like this out of the realm of possibility, but in this case, it's simply not true.

Silv's just nailed this one.

DENNY, CLOSE THIS PLACE DOWN! WE'RE CLOCKING OFF EARLY!

But while I'm here, I'll put an end to the Sonic/Elise inter-species arguement. Ahem.

It's fictional. Its not real. It never really happened. Get over it.

I thank you.

Well, it was erased from time, so, no, it didn't happen.
