The Nintendo Revolution console is very much in publisher Sega's future plans, representative Simon Jeffrey told Nintendo Power magazine this week. As well as confirming that Sega are in talks about the potential of the Revolution currently, Jeffrey also hinted that some of Sega's classic 'IP' (Intellectual Property' - a fancy phrase for game series, basically) could be heading to the new machine. "The Nintendo fan, I think, is very similar to the SEGA fan of old," the man from Sega stated. "I think SEGA and Nintendo have similar software philosophies. A product like Sonic is very family oriented. It's all about entertainment rather than trying to be controversial or anything like that. It's pure, good old-fashioned entertainment."
Versions of Shinobi and Panzer Dragoon have already been rumoured, but Sega are keeping quiet on the exact titles under consideration currently. "The Nintendo platforms have been great for Sonic and the classic franchises. We think Revolution can absolutely be the same," Jeffrey teased. "We're very interested in Revolution at the moment. We obviously haven't made any announcements, but we, like other people, are talking with Nintendo about what Revolution will be, about potential opportunities on Revolution."
One 'opportunity' may be the idea of making classic Sega titles of yesteryear available for download alongside Nintendo's back catalogue of games, which the Big N has already confirmed will be available to those subscribing to the company's forthcoming online service. More on this excitement as we get it.
