Lady Lilith Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 http://segabits.com/blog/2012/09/24/is-a-new-ecco-the-dolphin-game-in-the-works/ 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. Meh, I wasn't crazy about the first Genesis title, and that's prevented me from playing the second, and the Dreamcast game. Wonder if this'll change my perspective.

Parker Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I really liked the two games on the Genesis and I'd likely pick up downloadable title if it were around $10 or so. The Dreamcast title didn't leave much of an impression. Parker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasaDeBen Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I remember trying to play this in a store once when it came out, and I couldnt figure out what to do at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daftprophet Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 The originals were awesome, but tense. I remember holding my breath every time I submerged...it was kinda nerve racking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtlshdwoverlord7 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I remember the original games and loved them both! I hope this comes to fruition! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidmarkgn Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Screw Marvel vs. Capcom, MK vs. DC, Freddy vs. Jason, Alien vs. Predator etc etc... I want Ecco vs. Jaws!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowGandalf Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I loved #1. I completed it both with and without cheats. I started enjoying #2 but got so stuck, i never got too far in. A new one certainly has my interest, as long as it's 2D, not 3D. I remember trying 3D Ecco on PS2 but it just wasn't the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
