Sonic Colors

SEGA’s TGS 2010 line-up confirmed

by


SEGA has let their ‘official’ line up out of the bag, of course, they have a surprise or two they don’t want to reveal yet. This is their ‘expect to be there’ and playable games.

  • Vanquish (PS3/360)
  • Virtual On Force (360)
  • Sonic Colors (Wii/DS)
  • Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity (PSP)
  • Black Panther New Yakuza  Chapter (PSP)
  • Shining Hearts (PSP)
  • K-On After School Live (PSP)

Of course they will most likely have a new Phantasy Star related product (anniversary game?) and for sure the new Yakuza PS3 game.

Sonic Colors introduces multiplayer mode?

by


Amazon.com has posted some in-game screenshots of the upcoming Sonic Colors on their product page. All well and good, but what is up with the picture above?

Some say it could be co-op mode, others think its time trial. I think it might be a 2 player racing mode, in the vain of Sonic 2’s multiplayer mode. Should have just switched red Sonic to Tails. But then people would complain its not ‘Sonic only’.

Japanese Sonic Colors pre-order item

by

Sonic Colors will be released in Japan on November 18th for both DS and Wii. There has also been a pre-order items for Japan announced and its a tie in item with the kids arcade card game Rekishi Taisen Gettenka.

That is right, a awesome looking holographic card is what you get if you pre-order the game. The card has Utsuke Nobunaga and Sonic. If you use the card in the game, it will summon Sonic to use. Pretty neat.

New Pink Wisp Ahoy!

by

Sega today revealed a brand new WISP! This is the pink wisp as you can probably tell! He is exclusive to the Wii version of Sonic Colours and gives Sonic the power to roll on any surface! That includes up walls and on the roof!

I’m totally down with this power up idea actually… It gives Sonic more variety with out being overbearing like some of the previous gimmicks and opens up a lot more interesting game play.

For more indepth infomation please head over to the official Sega blog HERE!

New Sonic Colors screens

by


A new batch of Sonic Color screens have been released and this game is on its way to becoming one of the best looking Wii games.  The batch of screens also include the DS version, which is looking way different than the Wii version. It actually looks more like Sonic Rush 3.

Sonic Colors is set to hit retail this upcoming November, exclusively on DS and Wii. To see the rest of the screens, head over to Nintendo Everything. Way to many too upload here. Also, I don’t know why SEGA upscale 420p native screens to HD.

New Sonic Colors Screens and Iizuka Sez

by


Thanks to VideoGamer.com, we have Iizuka’s thoughts on the Sonic Cycle (aka that thing made by Sonic fanboys in Photoshop that has led to many lols, derps and omfgwtfs). Check out Iizuka’s comments at VideoGamer.

Also in Sonic Colors news, we have some new screens from a yet-to-be-demo’d stage! The stage looks as though Eggman has established some sort of logging empire on an alien planet. Great to see massive buzz saws return, and gotta love those Egg Pawns wearing hard hats.

Big Sonic news is new Sonic voice cast

by


The rumor is correct, the big Sonic news that SEGA has just announced is that Roger Craig Smith will be taking the role of Sonic the Hedgehog. You might remember his voice talent as Chris Redfield (Resident Evil 5), Ezio Auditore da Firenze (Assassin’s Creed 2) and Siegfried Schtauffen (Soulcalibur IV).

He was also the voice for Ted Ustinov, Vyse Inglebard, Johann Oswald Wisen and others in Valkyria Chronicles. That game had good voices, no? Just to make the announcement bigger, they also announced the new voice actors for Tails. Kate Higgins will play tails, she did voices for Naomi and RinRin in MadWorld. Also a ton of voices in Valkyria Chronicles.

It has been confirmed that Mike Pollock will stay as Eggman. Mike Pollock has been voicing Eggman since 2005, after the death of Deem Bristow. Almost every voice actor for the game characters has changed, but we have only seen Sonic and Tails as of yet.

Rumor: Sonic to get a new voice actor?

by


There was a post by SEGA community manager AAUK stating that SEGA has some ‘ground breaking’ news coming regarding Sonic franchise. People seem to think it might be a new voice actor.

Jason Griffith, current voice actor for Sonic has stated that he will not be lending his voice for the upcoming Wii exclusive, Sonic Colors:

“Thanks for sending [a video of Sonic Colours]. Not sure who is voicing Sonic, unfortunately, so I can’t really say. Also, we have all signed NDA’s in the past, so I don’t really “speak up” on a lot of things involving SEGA.”

Or it could be that Sonic 4 and Sonic Colors won’t have voice work. Wouldn’t that be awesome?

G4TV: Sonic Colors Interview

by


Not really an interview, since you have to ask questions. More like someone at the SEGA booth telling us what the game is about, while she can barely talk due to screaming at Sonic fans all day because they were doing odd stuff at the booth.

Like always, the game is looking rather fantastic in my opinion.

Pre-order Sonic Colors, get creepy Sonic hat

by

Gamestop is holding some of that ‘exclusive pre-order’ stuff with Sonic Colors, unlike most of their crappy DLC exclusives; this one is a physical item. A creepy Sonic hat, to wear when you have your furry orgies.

I’m sure deep down inside SEGA knows that 90% of the Sonic fanbase is odd furry people and they will love this. But, I have to admit, its nice seeing a ‘physical’ free object for pre-order. You can pre-order the game on their site and it will ship with the hat.

Sonic Colors to support classic & Gamecube controller

by

If you go to the Nintendo of America product page in the Wii’s U.S. channel it will reveal that the game will support both classic controller and Gamecube controller, for those of you that hate motion.

This is great, if it turns out to be true. But Nintendo EU’s listing for Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing said it supported the Gamecube controller, which it did not. So who knows.

New Sonic Colors artwork & screens

by

A new batch of Sonic Colors screens and some artwork have made it to the net, here they are in all their colorful glory. Look at the above scree, it even says enjoy, so don’t whine. Just sit back and enjoy.

I have to admit, the more I see of this game, the more excited I get. I bet there is a million ways this game can fall flat, but so far so good. Hit the jump for more screens.

Sonic Colours Interview with Takashi Iizuka

by

Our man at E3, Nuckles87 scored a pretty nice interview today with Takashi Iizuka. As we are teamed up with Sonic Stadium for this the SS guys get first dibs on any Sonic related news… Which is fair enough as we’ll be getting all of the other, better Sega news exclusive to bits.

Here is some choice parts of the interview:

SS – Is this game made with just children in mind, or more for a general audience?

Iizuka – Of course, we are putting in kid friendly elements, but it’s not just for kids. The are some challenging elements put in as well.

SS – What is the length of the game, in hours?

Iizuka – The game’s still in development, but in previous Sonic games, there would be act 1 and act 2 of 1 zone. In this case, for each of these worlds there are several stages. Also, once you get more color powers from other worlds, you can go back to older levels and find new paths to access. It also depends on how dedicated you are to finding all the items in the game.

and

SS – Last question, any chance of a new NiGHTS or Burning Rangers game?

Iizuka – (Laughs) We can’t talk about that right now.

Make sure you read the rest of the interview HERE!
