Sonic Generations Wii abandoned by Sega

Posted By | On 26th, May. 2011

Sega have cancelled the Wii version of the upcoming Sonic Generations as they wanted all versions of the game to be in HD.

Sega’s Takashi Iizuka told Nintendo Power: “The primary goal for the console versions of Generations was reimagining the series’ classic zones in vivid, high-definition graphics.”

The team evidently found this difficult on the Wii and switched development to 3DS instead.

“The Wii hardware wasn’t a good fit for that concept, so we abandoned development on that, and decided that for our Nintendo audience, we would make a fresh start with a Nintendo 3DS version of Generations,” added Iizuka.
