"SEGA says Nintendo smells... or do they?"

Oh dear oh dear what a problem Nintendo's line up seems to have:

Gamecube:

Sonic Heroes (brand new Sonic game)
Sonic Adventure DX (Exclusive)
PSO 3 (exclusive)
Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg (Exclusive)

Note: All games being made by Sonic Team

PS2:

Sonic Heroes
Vectorman(exclusive)
Headhunter: Redemption (exclusive)
Altered Beast (Exclusive)
Virtual Fighter 4 Evolution Greatest Hits
Virtual On Marz (exclusive)
Dororo (exclusive)
Kunoichi (exclusive)
NCAA College Basketball 2K4
NHL 2K4
NBA 2K4
NFL 2K4

X-box:

Sonic Heroes

NHL 2K4
NBA 2K4
NFL 2K4
SEGA GT online (Exclusive)
Otogi Myth of Deamons (Exclusive)

GBA:

Sonic Pinball Party (exclusive)
Sonic Battle (exclusive)

From the above line-up everything looks heavily depressing for Nintendo. Only 4 games and PSO 3 and Billy Hatcher is the only game that is new and not multi-format. And Sonic has seemingly left Nintendo!

But is this really the whole picture? What has happened to the Virtual Fighter RPG game? Where's Starfox Armada? What about Super Monkey Ball 3... and not even a whisper as to what the Jet Set Radio developers are up to on the Cube...

Will there be surprises?

Ever played the series? Fantastic games, does something from a great height on the EA equivalents.

Shenmue? That's what it spawned from, ditched the established characters to give them more freedom with the story.

No.

Virtua Fighter RPG was confirmed a while ago for GC and XBox.

Okay... still how Shenmue started out though... Project Berkley IIRC.

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

why dont we get vectorman??????

i love that game and still play it on my megadrive!!!!

Yeah I know, they said it was still in the works, but more combat orientated - thankgod, hopefully it should be better than the travesty that is Shenmue.

*shocked*

I love Shenmue - still not played the sequel, waiting for it to get here in the post after falling in love with the original again last week when I brought the Dreamcast out of storage. Fingers crossed for some positive Shenmue 3 news at E3/ever - the last "it all depends on the sales of Shenmue 2" comment doesn't give me much hope really.

argh

Don't get me started on Shenmue, for me it is the worst game ever.

But I don't want to go into it, and before you say I prejudged it, I do own it and have completed it.

do none of you know how GOOD vectorman is??!?!?!?!?!?!?

They're not mortal enemies, not by a long shot, so don't make things up.

Anyway from what I can see, Cube's getting some good games from Sega going by the name of Billy hatcher, PSO Ep3, Sonic heroes, Monkey Ball 3, skies of Arcadia and a few more so there's no need to complain.

Ps2 might be getting the most, but the line-up in my opinion is not 'that' impressive.

Anyway we get the pick of all the new Sega games being developed which goes by the name of F-Zero.
