Sonic Generations Wii abandoned by Sega

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.
