E3 2015 Hopes and Speculation

I just want Sonic to burn now. But I like to see another horrible Sonic game; it's always fun to crap all over it.

Just my personal opinion on Sonic, don't take it personally. I'm tired of seeing that hedgehog though.

I love Sonic...but he has the most obnoxious fanbase ever.
 
But unlike a third version or the speculated Grey which is the same game with a few changes, BW2 was a completely different game from BW.
 
As sad as it is, at this point I doubt SEGA will live to the next decade. Also, if Nintendo would buy out anybody it would be Capcom or a smaller company. Just saying to those who actually think they might buy SEGA.

I heard a theory that XZ and YZ might happen due to this thing with Zygarde having two forms, but I expect another third version. I doubt it would happen, but I would enjoy seeing prequels to X and Y.

Uh when was it said Sega was in huge financial trouble? They've had losses sure, but I wouldn't say they're near bankruptcy right now. They've been there when they had to quit the console buisness more then a decade ago. But now they're at the very least stable.

To answer what SMF was saying though Sega's still being careful with Sonic. Sonic's 25th Anniversery is next year not this year. They can afford to be quiet on anything Sonic through all of E3. If they have something big awaiting for Sonic's 25th they'll announce it then. Not this year, they'll also make sure to avoid the same mistakes that led to Sonic 06 and release it when it's truly ready (If you're going to bring up Rise of Lyric that's a different case altogether).

The only Sonic related game I could see happening is if they're doing the fifth Mario & Sonic Olympics for the Summer Olympics in Rio. Since that usually comes out in the year before the actual Olympics. Though with how the one for Sochi didn't perform as well the previous ones did they may stop it from there. Heck maybe they'll surprise us with a Mario and Sonic crossover that isn't an Olympic Games thing (Hey I can Dream can't I?) just for something new that could provide some interest back into the cash cow crossover that in itself is a cash cow.

I'd just be happy with more Sonic amiibo functions similar or more intuitive then the Sonic Amiibo suit in Mario Kart 8. The first time Sonic content got in what was a pure Mario game at the start. Since obviously Smash Bros. and the Olympics were made on the entire concept of a crossover.
 
As much as I dislike Sonic, I'm open for another type Mario & Sonic crossover, just as long as the developers know what they're doing and Mario gets to talk.

Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating a bit, but at the very least they will likely undergo changes for the worst in the upcoming years unless something is done. And I still stand by my opinion that Nintendo will likely not buy them out.

You sound like as if Sega said stuff like they'd be going Mobile permanently like Konami seems to be doing. They're putting more focus on Mobile to generate stable profit but they're not abandoning consoles. Especially in regards to Sonic.
 
I want no mainstream Mario platformers for a while. After Mario Maker, I mean.
