Sonic Shuffle re-trademarked by Sega, could be nothing photo

Browsing through the new trademarks like we do, we see that Sega's Sonic Shuffle pops up. If you remember, this was Sega's four-player party game answer to Nintendo's Mario Party, originally released for the Dreamcast. It wasn't the greatest game ever, but I was a Sega whore back in the day, so I bought it.

Maybe I'll be buying it again? Or, remembering how boring it was, maybe not. Could this re-trademarking of the title be for protection, or is it plans for a re-release? Mark this down as a rumor for now.

It would fit as a Wii game, I guess. Substitute button mashing for waggle? I don't think that would make it better, though. Sega, there's much cooler games to dig back up.

Whooptee fucking doo-- another next-gen sonic game... we know how good the last 400 were.

Whooptee fucking doo-- another Wii party game (possibility)... we know how good the last 9,000,000 were.

Bring on the unnecessary hype and huge disappointment!

No. This game was awful for the dreamcast. I love the dreamcast, but this was by far one of the worst titles for the system. Not fun and so confusing.

Don't do it Sega...
I know times are tough, but this...
Just trademark Shenmue 3, AfterBurner Climax 2, Virtual-On 5, and the Dreamcast 2. Those should see you through.

Sega needs to wise up and stick with 2d- Sonic Rush was a good modern game the rest are eye candy and hollow promises.

It was only a matter of time before Sonic ended up back on the game board. But after seeing Sega submit the blue blur to Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games, I can't say i'd be surprised if there was a Sonic Shuffle on the Wii any time soon.

You don't need the food that badly, Sonic. Just stop now.

Fuck yes Sonic Shuffle 2 for Wii or PSN/XBLA. As long as it has the cast of the original, it should be awesome. Sonic Shuffle was really fun with needed improvements it would be awesome.

@Dan CiTi: Yeah, the problem with party games isn't that they're party games, it's that they're -bad- party games.

Fix the isssues and make it snarky with old school Sonic attitude and it might be entertaining.

The only problem I had with Sonic Shuffle was the load times which took forever. Other than that, I loved the game!!
