SEGA has revealed that a Wii version ofSonic Generationswas going to be released, but development has been “abandoned” in order to keep the game in HD. Apparently SEGA’s just too good for that grotty standard-def garbage.
“The primary goal for the console versions of Generations was reimagining the series’ classic zones in vivid, high-definition graphics,” said Takashi Iizuka inNintendo Power. “The Wii hardware wasn’t a good fit for that concept, so we abandoned development on that, and decided that for our Nintendo audience, we would make a fresh start with a Nintendo 3DS version ofGenerations.”
The 3DS version sounds like it’ll be similar to the DS version ofSonic Colors— a fully 2D alternative to the console iteration. Frankly, Sonic’s usually better on handhelds anyway, so I wouldn’t cry too hard about this not hitting Wii.
