SEGA boss: Most innovative games will be on the Wii
Even today, after so many years have passed since Nintendo and SEGA battled for the living room, it still strikes me as a little odd to hear SEGA execs heaping praise on their once bitter rival. It’s almost as weird as when I think about Mario and Sonic competing in the Olympic Games later this winter. *shudder* Today, SEGA’s North American president — who is not actually Dr. Rob...

SEGA exec backpedals on “Wii is dated” remarks
Note to self: Don’t cross the Wii or its loyal fan base. Ever. I say this because today we learn that misguided Sega executive Scott Steinberg is probably in the doghouse this morning thanks to his comments from last week.As a refresher know this: Steinberg, using graphics and horsepower as his rationale, said the Wii would be dated in a few years. It seems he may have been drunk; with spiri...
SEGA exec: Wii will be dated in few years
If the news about sales numbers seem to be getting a little stale, then so too are the stream of executives and analysts who continue to hark on the Wii for having inferior graphics and hardware. Sega’s Scott Steinberg, vice president of marketing for SEGA US, is the latest guy to “just not get it”: Steinberg, vice president of marketing for SEGA US, has said he is “concern...

NiGHTS on Wii is real, no joke
Game|Life confirms what many of you may have already known, but I remained skeptical about until today (April 2): NiGHTS returns as a Wii-exclusive title sometime “this winter.” Official word from Sega early this morning is that the Wii-exclusive sequel to 1996’s Nights Into Dreams will be titled Nights: Journey of Dreams, and be released “this winter.” That’s t...
Why the Sonic-Mario game DOES matter
O, Blake. You are wise beyond your years, but on the upcoming Mario & Sonic at the Olympics title you are just out to lunch. And I thought Denver, not Salt Lake, was the Mile High City. But I digress… Here’s why you’re wrong (and I’m going to go to the dark side and have Matt Casamassina help me on this one): 1. It’s not 1995, but it is 2007. Times have changed, t...
