I object to your claims Posts: 15,025 Group: =SB= Queens Member #9,640 Joined: January 9, 2009 Gender: Female Country: United States of America 3DS Friend Code: 1891-1489-0768 Nintendo ID: Agent_Blaire Game Currently Playing: Yoshi's Island	Link to original story; http://segabits.com/blog/2012/09/24/is-a-new-ecco-the-dolphin-game-in-the-works/ Quote: Could another Ecco the Dolphin game be in the works? The designer of the original SEGA Genesis titles, Ed Annunziata, is pushing for a new title and so far signs are looking good! Scott Foe, a consultant on mobile and social games who worked with SEGA during the Dreamcast years, got Annunziata a meeting with SEGA to discuss reviving the franchise. Annunziata tweeted: Ecco fans, I need you to follow & tweethank @scottfoe, he convinced SEGA to meet with me now chances of a new Ecco the Dolphin x100! If that news wasn’t good enough, Annunziata later tweeted: “Spencer is on board! (puttn’ the band back together!) ”. Annunziata is referring to Spencer Nilsen, the man who composed the beautiful music for the original SEGA CD and Genesis games, as well as the American Sonic CD soundtrack. Could it truly be happening? A new Ecco game? While SEGA is being very careful when it comes to big budget disc releases, releasing another 2D Ecco title as a digital download is surely doable. Just look at Sonic 4, and another Ecco isn’t so crazy in that realm. Better yet, get Christian Whitehead to work on rereleases of the first two titles to accompany a new game. Anyone else remember Ecco? I've honestly never played any of the games but I've heard good things about the series.

I still can't use this. Posts: 6,546 Group: Former Monarchs Member #6,722 Joined: March 16, 2008	I tried the first Ecco at an age where I was never going to be capable of beating it. Sure enough, didn't got past the first level. It's insanely difficult and confusing to navigate. That being said, I wish this man luck, and wouldn't mind giving the franchise another go should he succeed, or at the very least if the original titles are put up for digital download.

But I thought the first game at least was on the Virtual Console and Steam. ??

[insert something cheerful here] Posts: 8,037 Group: Former Monarchs Member #9,289 Joined: August 20, 2008	I played an Ecco game once. Never understood it. :/ Which is a shame because it never stopped interesting me. Hopefully, this one won't be as confusing.

After that it was too nerve wracking. I'd love a chance to play it again. Hopefully I would be able to get past the second or third level this time.
