SEGA pledge support to the DS and announce Sonic DS and Project Rub…

SEGA earlier today pledged its support to both the Nintendo DS and Sony PSP, with the confirmation of a number of titles currently in development for each format.

Paving the way on the Nintendo DS is Sonic DS, the latest title in SEGAâ??s talismanic series that has sold more then 33 million units to date. Alongside Sonic DS is an all-new title dubbed Project Rub, unsurprisingly this is just a temporary name for the time being, but refers to the technique of rubbing the second screen as a control method.

Yuji Naka, SEGAâ??s executive managing director and general manager of Development Head Office claimed, â??I am very happy to announce titles for the â??Nintendo DS (temporary name)â?? handheld game console, which will play a major role in the future game industry. DS has innovative features like Dual Screens, Touch Screen and Microphone. Its great variety of input mechanisms has allowed us to create new forms of gaming that could not be experienced with previous games for the home market. For our first titles â?“ Sonic DS (temporary title) and Project Rub (temporary title) â?“ we have placed emphasis on controls using a Touch Screen, which will allow us to achieve the concept of â??rubbingâ?, a unique and fun gameplay mechanic made possible by the DS. We will investigate a wide-range of gaming elements unique to the DS, so look forward to future SEGA titles.â?

Weâ??ll have a closer look at Sonic DS when the doors open.
