Darkspine S Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 I was surprised as much as anybody on the announcement of Mario and Sonic Olympics, but it got me thinking of something else. Now that Camelot seem to be distancing themselves from Nintendo, where does the future of the Mario sports titles lie? If this Olympics game turns out to be great, would it be wise for Nintendo to let Sega handle the sports titles, as they have a proven track record with their own titles(Incidently, such record was the reason Dreamcast recieved no support sports-wise from EA). And if the Olympics game does go well, and Sega are given the permission to develop the titles, will Sonic be in them too?
flameboy Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 yeah I guess there is a chance of it happening certainly, means we could also see other sports titles though, rather than just Mario ones, didn't they have their own sports brand on the Dreamcast?
Shyguy Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 wheras EA owned the NBA licenses, im pretty sure Sega own/ed the ESPN Licenses
That Guy Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 EA got burned by the Saturn, and therefore developed NO games on the Dreamcast. Had nothing to do with Segas titles. Because they're on every console around.
Serebii Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 Sorry, maybe I've missed an episode but since when have things been strained between Nintendo and Camelot?
welsh_gamer Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 Hmmmm this might be good. Use the Nintendo themes and characters, and make it a bit more 'serious', i.e no silly power moves every 20seconds in a Tennis match.
mcj metroid Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 this could only be a good thing. Sega are fantastic at sport games
Hellfire Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 Camelot isn't distancing from Nintendo they're just making ONE PC golf game. Also, SEGA rocked at sports games, so it wouldn't be bad either.
blender Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 isnt mario football made by sega soccer slam people too but also mario appeard in nba street 3 by EA but no one read much into that
Shino Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 isnt mario football made by sega soccer slam people too but also mario appeard in nba street 3 by EA but no one read much into that Yes, although I don't think they have anything to do with Sega anymore.
Problematique Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 Hmmmm this might be good. Use the Nintendo themes and characters, and make it a bit more 'serious', i.e no silly power moves every 20seconds in a Tennis match. If they can make Mario Tennis more like MT64 though I'd love it. That game was pure class.
Daft Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 Off topic! I need Golden Sun Wii...The gameboy games just blew me away!
Darkspine S Posted April 2, 2007 Author Posted April 2, 2007 Agree with you there Daft. Here, imagine this: A new DS version of Golden Sun (Set after the first 2), that uses the GBA slot to transfer character data from the Lost age to the DS version. Then, a couple of months after this one's release, a wii instalment is also released, and links to the DS one to transfer(one example) more improved character stats to it. I'd buy both in a heartbeat!
The-chosen-one Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 man i soo need a Golden Sun game for the wii that game rocks
