E3 2006: Sega's Line-Up.. So Far
Posted 06 May 2006 at 07:27 by Tom Phillips
Sega Europe and America have confirmed their line-up to date, but seem to be leaving things open to more suprises during the show...
Supporting both current and next-gen consoles, including the Wii, Sega's list makes impressive reading for all consoles. Interestingly, their press release more worded that the following list was just the titles Sega have confirmed 'so far' - indicating there may be some top-secret stuff not below. (Skies of Arcadia 2 would be nice..)
Read the full list below:
In Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic celebrates his 15th anniversary by blazing his way onto the next-generation consoles, with his first adventure set in the human world! Featuring interactive 3D environments and a large cast of returning and new characters, get ready for the reinvention of Sonic The Hedgehog, in his most intense, high velocity escapade to date! Platforms are to be finalised, but it's a pretty safe bet the Wii will see a version.
In Super Monkey Ball Adventure, players will be able to join Aiai and friends in a new game to bring harmony to the Monkey Ball Universe kingdoms. This is the first Super Monkey Ball title that offers a narrative-driven adventure in a dynamic world in which puzzles and quests are spread throughout. Classic gameplay is bolstered by a chant system that grants new abilities to the Monkey Ball in addition to brand new multiplayer Party Games and puzzle levels built into the story line.
In Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz, Aiai and all his friends have rolled their way onto Nintendo's new console, with a wide range of new puzzle levels and numerous exciting Party Games specifically designed to exploit the innovative Wii controller. For the first time in the Super Monkey Ball universe players will be able to jump using an upward flick motion with the Wii Controller. In addition, scores of Party Games � such as Whack-a-Mole or ring toss � have been creatively designed to take advantage of the Nintendo Wii controller.
