Sonic the Hedgehog creator, Yuji Naka recently attended an Iwata Asks segment in which he revealed his canceled Wii project which was dubbed Haunted Tower. Naka pitched the game to Nintendo when he found out about the Wii MotionPlus accessory as he thought it would work perfectly with his new game. The game worked by defeating monsters “outside the screen” in your living room, by pointing the Wii controller in directions other than the television. Sadly the project was canceled and Yuji Naka began working with Nintendo on the recently released Wii Play: Motion.

So basically Face Raiders on Wii.

SEGA WILL RISE FROM THE ASHES & IT WILL PWN BOTH NINTENDON’T & GAYSTASTION
BRACE YOURSELVES,
SEGA DOES WHAT NINTENDON’T, THE REST COPY. SEGA HAD FIRST TOUCHSCREEN CONTROLER, ONLINE, MICROPHONE GAME, 3D, MOTION GUN etc.
SEGA WAS & ALWAYS WILL BE AHEAD OF ITS TIME.
DREAMCAST MADE RECORD HISTORY IN MOST SOLD UPON RELEASE BUT ONLY DROPPED FOR NOT INCLUDIND DVD PLAYER LIKE PS2.
DAMN U SONY! DAMN U!!!!!
BUT JUST U WAIT SONY.
FIRST WE GET THE M0NEY, THEN WE GET THE POWER, THEN WE GET
REVENGE.
VICTORY WILL BE OURS! SONIC FTW!
Dude. Shut up. Sega will not release the Dreamcast 2. You’re forgetting they crashed out of the hardware market, you can’t expect the follow-up to a titanic to be an industry leader. Nintendo pioneered 3D Gaming with the Virtual Boy. As for Sonic… nice 3D games line-up!
Also in your speech, you don’t mention the Xbox line of consoles.
And you’re seeking revenge on the Sega fans who didn’t buy the console, even though that is likely your target audience….
Time for a Wii U port – DUH! Like we are stupid….=|
I was thinking the same thing
Ditto. This would be perfect for Wii U.
Im not crazy about sonic, but thats sounds awesome! Id definately play!
I’m pretty sure the Haunted Tower game wasn’t going to star Sonic, just made by the same creator is all.
Sounds like a perfect game to implement the Wii U controller with.

I like the new site layout, sickr!
Thanks. I’m really pleased with it. Always like checking out the latest designs :-)
Yeah, new layout is classy. The accompanying photos make visual sense now…
Same here, digging the new look
Everything is good except for the banner picture. I don’t like it, and I don’t really think it fits. A artistic mario-themed shot,like a mushroom or mario hat would be more appropriate. Other than that, I like the look. One question, did you design this theme yourself?

Dear Mr. Naka,
Please make a new Ivy the Kiwi? game.
Thank you.
Well its exactly the minigame in WiiPlayMotion. Works really well haunting ghosts in Lugi-manner, but it lacks fun for me. Also the new “duck hunt” minigames uses similar mechanics.
Hmm interesting. It would be nice to see a Sonic Game on the Wii-U
megaman legends 3 got cancelled

It will still be on 3ds or will they cancel like mml3 was? typical, just how long will it take for companies to abandon nintendo?
This game may still come to the Wii U. We can only hope.
