Sega's DS lineup smells of failurine. They just can't make a smart move, can they?

Then again, my impression is that even Sonic didn't do super-well on the system, so maybe this is the first half-smart move Sega has made. Even so, DS is clearly where it's at. Especially this year with the new consoles not having enough users, and the old ones running out of steam.

Let me be the first to say it: that name change is horrible, what was wrong with Wild Fire?

Sonic and the Secret Rings

Guess where he keeps the rings

it's a secret =D

WiineCountry.com

oh yes, i'm getting closer to the new name, aren't I?

Okay, so I won't need to go to the Sega booth.

KDR you are definately gonna have to give us some frequent updates from the show. You just attending the show floor or the keynotes too?

Frequent updates? I'm going to be there once and I don't have portable internet access (Leipzig is still a few hours away via train). The only updates I can give you is what I see on that one day. I don't think there are going to be many things we haven't seen at the E3 or in any internet news source already, announcing something at the GC seems more like an exception than the rule since it's still a minor event compared to the old E3. Maybe it'll gain importance next year when E3 won't be important either.

Are keynotes even open to the public?

There Onion rings. You now know the Secret. That Wild Fire well... It's really a result of those Secret Rings...

Where onion rings?

Sonic Wild Fire gets a new name as well.

Sega announced their line-up for the Leipzig convention today. There will be four titles shown from Nintendo platforms.

• Sonic and the Secret Rings (Wii) (Formerly Sonic Wild Fire)
• Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz (Wii)
• Charlotte's Web (DS)
• Charlotte's Web (GBA)

Similar to what Nintendo will be doing, both Wii titles will be shown behind closed doors to chosen press and VIPs only.

Sega = Dirty monkey that sticks finger up butt then smells it.

AiAi is a filthy, filthy beast if he does that!

I say if Pryopizm didn't watch the Madden PPV, KDR doesn't have to report on Leipzig!

Good to know their only DS release this year is a game nobody will buy.

I'm sure they wanted to make a good DS game.....but Dimps wasn't available.

Their Xbox 360 lineup makes the Wii lineup look like a joke. They are releasing Sonic, Virtua Tennis 3, Sega Rally, and Phantasy Star for 360!

Personally, I'm more excited about Wild Fi..err, Secret Rings and Super Monkey Ball than any of those games (Virtua Tennis would've been nice, tho)

---

From what I played at E3, this monkey ball may be the most difficult one yet.

=D

Could it be that it may just have to do with getting used to the sensitivity of the Wiimote?

Well....

If your saying that since the Wiimote is so sensitive that it'll allow the developers to make harder levels, then yes (or at least I hope so).

If your saying that since the Wiimote is so damn sensitive it makes it incredibly hard to control, then no (or at least I hope so).

Well, remember how difficult using the analog stick for the first time was. The first time I picked up an N64 controller, I bounced all over Rainbow Road.

...though having to work just to keep the playing field level DOES sound like it could be murderously frustrating...

Agh.. where the hell is my NiGHTS? And Panzer Dragoon? And light gun games? And racing games? Damn you, SEGA..

I saw a video of someone playing Monkey Ball Wii and they got to a boss character (a big monkey with a bubble on his butt) and they died five times in a row. It was like watching myself play Monkey Ball.

No one ever said the path to FIST was easy.

Sega making bad business decisions?

LIKE, I HAVE NEVER SEEN THAT BEFORE!
