I hate Sega

It's because they tease with the promise of more Jet Set Radio.
Then change the prespective to show it's another arcade tennis game, yippie.

While we're not generally in the habit of posting updates on Super Smash Bros. Brawl news outside of the weekly Dojo Dump aside from new characters and the occasional costume, I thought Sonic the Hedgehog fans would get a real kick out of the Christmas reveal of his Final Smash super move. Using the power of the Chaos Emeralds combined, he is Captain Planet Super Sonic! The hedgehog transforms into a golden streak, blazing over enemies in an unblockable display of what makes Sonic the fastest game character around. This just goes to show that while Sega might have lost sight of what sonic is all about, Nintendo still has a pretty good idea. SSBB promises to be the best Sonic game in years. Sad, isn't it?

It's times like this that make me wish I liked Smash Bros

The sad thing is even their two critical successes from last year, Crush and VF5, were poor sellers. Even when they get something right no once cares.
It does look like that Wii Olympic minigame collection has legs and continues to sell, but it also had Mario in it.
I was a fan of Sega up to the Dreamcast era, but they have had so many clunkers in recent years that I just can't understand how anyone has a nostalgia for them anymore. What they did to Phantasy Star Online alone angers me. I doubt that Tennis game you posted or any of their other 2008 games are going to win me back.

Crush wasn't even THEIR critical success, it was made by Zoë Mode (also known as Kuju Entertainment, known for making Battalion Wars and Geometry Wars Galaxies). I know the last time I ragged on Sega somebody mentioned Armored Core 4 in defense.. which was made by From Software. This ties into what I said above in that they seem to be PUBLISHING a few decent games.

I dunno, VF5 sold 450k on the PS3 and about 120k on the X360, while not amazing number they aren't horrible.
Crush tanked, though.

I still wish they would make a more traditional Phantasy Star RPG... or at least one with a more comprehensive single player mode. I realize that the monthly fee is probably paying their bills, but I just can't get into it.
Sonic never really made the leap to 3d, and the 2d version didn't really have the depth of Mario's 2d offerings, so I can see why the Sonic series deteriorated like that. They also sold 2K, which still makes the best basketball game around.

I would love a good sequel to Jet Grind Radio (something about Future just didn't work for me), but I'm quite excited to have a Sega Superstars Tennis type game done by the Virtua Tennis. Should be great fun.
