Hmmm.

Sega is a subsidiary of Sega Sammy Holdings. Sammy is a major developer of pachinko machines.

I wonder where this is going?

go to your local pachinko parlor
buy a lot of pachinko balls
see birds flying according to the speed of the balls you input in the machine

I mean, I don't play pachinko, but I think it'd be more fun if the balls had the birds on them and you knocked some piggies down as you bounced down the machine or at least knocked them down at the bottom depending on where you landed.

the balls are just boring gray ones since the same ones fit to multiple machines, sadly

Maybe this time they’ll get some paint

Wild. I remember Angry Birds was everywhere, almost Pokemon-levels of public appeal and generating wheelbarrows of money.

And then poof, like beanie babies and tamogatchis.

Your username is a bold-faced lie.

I wouldn’t want to be your friend around dinner time.

They went from '1 dollar to get the full game', with starwars deals and so on to 'generic p2w for whales'. The innovation wasn't here anymore and they shot themselves in the foot with dumb pricing/gameplay.

It's still popular with some young kids, my son still plays the series and loves the movies. You just don't see everyone and their grandma playing it anymore.

Let’s hope Sega has some decency and restores the Angry Birds Classic to the mobile stores, which should had never left, in the first place!

[-] BruceCampbellschin@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Yes! I thought the original was just a fever dream I had. It was far superior. Bring it back.

Fun fact: The original Angry Birds had its debut on the Nokia N900 - the best Linux phone to ever grace the planet.

[-] Gxost@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

I hope they will return the original Angry Birds series to the stores.

"Angry Hedgehogs" when?

[-] illectrility@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

Why? Isn't Rovio pretty much dead?

[-] higgsone@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Angry Birds is still a big brand. Not as big as during their prime time but as long as you can make money with it, it's worth it

[-] Guy_Fieris_Hair@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I'm sure that will revive it

[-] CarlsIII@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

[-] Sygheil@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago
