New Sega game teaser page unveiled
 

A new Sega game has been unveiled here. It's being produced by Takao Miyoshi, who is a Sonic Team senior member and Phantasy Star Universe producer. It wasn't what I expected it to be. It's like a combination of the original Super Mario Bros, with a old western style. I don't know what the title is. I can't read japanese. The music sounds pretty nice, though.

It's called 'Pole's Big Adventure', it'll parody other games from the 8-bit era. From what I've seen, there's one bit where you can go down a Mario-ish pipe, only to pop back out of it covered in shit. Collecting a power-up mushroom also makes the main character grow so tall he eventually dies.

Opening level thingy.

I already love it.

Reminds me of this game, what with the parodies and all.

Unfortunately, I don't think this game will hit the states.

Doesn't this seem like too much of a direct rip-off? I mean, there's parody and then there's blatant theft of basic ingredients.

Yeah, I agree. My question is how Sega got Nintendo to green light this. It is going to be on Wiiware, so Nintendo is benefiting from it, and The Great Giana Sisters is now okay with Nintendo, since it's for the DS. Oh well. Still looks cool.
