SEGAbits: "In his twenty years of existence, Sonic has not only appeared in dozens of games, but he has also introduced a ton of irregularities. These irregularities I’m referring to are the things that exist within his video games that support the gameplay and the player playing the game, yet don’t make a whole lot of sense within the context of the world within the game. For example, it’s a ton of fun to run through a twirling highway in Sonic Adventure, but why in the world would such a highway even exist? Or what about all those springs and item boxes? Surly Eggman didn’t put them there, because they assist Sonic. So just how and why do elements like that exist in Sonic’s world? In this week’s weekly five I’m going to attempt to explain five oddities of Sonic’s world. Most of my explanations will probably be complete bullshit, but that’s the fun of overthinking!"
Two-day event includes exclusive reveals, trailers and playable games on show floor.
CEO Haruki Satomi said Sega will "take these lessons into account for future initiatives"
Rovio “found it difficult to advance its initially planned business development,” says Sega.
Interesting and well done.
