Tony Stark and his iron suit to head to next-gen consoles, thanks to a deal between SEGA and Marvel...

SEGA Europe and SEGA of America have today confirmed a deal with comic book gargantuan, Marvel Entertainment, which will see the developer/publisher produce videogames based on the Iron Man character.

The deal, which will also include an adaptation of the 2008 feature film 'Iron Man' starring Robert Downey Jr. on next-gen systems, extends across all platforms as part of a multi-year agreement.

"Marvel is recognised as one of the world's leaders in the entertainment industry and SEGA is excited to be publishing the next-gen interactive entertainment based on Iron Man, the first Marvel Studios project being brought to the widescreen," said Simon Jeffery, President and COO, SEGA of America, Inc. "The Iron Man history is filled with compelling and intriguing characters and stories, and with the power of the next-gen systems, SEGA will be bringing these characters to life like never before."

David Maisel, Executive Vice President, Office of the Chief Executive of Marvel Entertainment, added, "SEGA is an excellent partner to bring our Iron Man franchise to the next generation consoles. SEGA is a powerful force in the video game space and has always been on the cutting edge of the industry. We are very excited to be bringing Iron Man to theaters in 2008 and to team with a great partner to simultaneously introduce Iron Man to the video game world."

Today's deal further expands SEGA's commitment to producing titles for the Western market, following various acquisitions and deals across North America and Europe.

We'll have more news shortly...

Movies to video games and vice versa rarely ever work. Would be nice to one day see another good one (Goldeneye is the only one I consider "good")
