I say rumor only because I don't want it to be true. The above image, apparently the cover of the September issue of Nintendo Power, reveals "Sonic and the Black Knight" as a Wii exclusive. No information on the title is available yet, but stay tuned to N+ for developments.
On a side note, WHY THE CRAP DOES SONIC HAVE A SWORD?
Believe it or not, SEGA may actually have created an awesome Sonic game. It may actually FINALLY succesfully bring Sonic into the 3rd Dimension! This new trailer, a 360 build, shows off more gameplay footage of Sonic cruising at increadible speeds through a 3D world (on a track mind you) while -get this- the camera keeps up!
Of course graphics wise this video is more impressive then Wii will probably get, but what you are watching for, is the FUN factor. Look how awesome!
Oh and I know, I know, some of you heard that a different team is handleing the Wii versions different levels, but there is a saving grace to this news... Dimps, the secret team behind the 2 AMAZING Sonic Rush games on the DS, is in charge of level design! They just hid under the name Sonic Team in Rush. By the way, if you don't have Sonic Rush 1 or 2 yet and you have a DS... GET ONE!
Not too much in the realm of video game news these last few days eh Nplussers? Anyway, I DID find a video of Sonic: The Dark Brotherhood to get you guys a little more excited. When you actually see the gameplay it reminds me more of Sonic 3D blast. Hopefully we don't have to collect the damn Flickies this time!
A short teaser trailer showing off a bit of the "unleashed" part of Sonic the Hedgehog, as well as Official Site Dedication! bonus points to whoever can name the tune he is whistlen'
SEGA recently sent over 10 new screenshots for Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity. They still look .... interesting. Zero Gravity has already released in North America and Japan, and will release in Europe on February 22.
Update: As it turns out, my camera is crap. so it can;t pick up the TV and as a result will not be picking up this broadcast.
We'll do this again at some point, just not tomorrow.
Hey there ev'body. Just giving you a heads up that tomorrow I will (hopefully) be having a live broadcast of Mario and Sonic: At The Olympic Games. Live. Mario and Sonic. LIVE. This is the first (and not last) live feed from N+, so let's hope I don't screw it up! It will start at some point between 11am and 2pm EST. (4pm and 7pm GMT). I will post up a definitive time in the morning. Stay tuned.
Holy crap. I'm excited and disappointed at the same time. On one hand, I feel like Smash Bros. sold-out/caved-in/did-it-for-fanservice. But as a friend pointed out to me: Smash Bros. is all about fanservice. To be honest, I'm just jealous that Megaman hasn't been revealed yet.
On the other hand, IT'S FLIPPIN' SONIC THE HEDGEHOG.
This was originally posted on the German version of the Smash Bros Dojo, which explains my awesome image-capturing skills to the right (Best reward for staying up late--EVER). As soon as I posted this entry, the English version of the Dojo updated with the Sonic news. Some pictures [posted after the break] and a video has been posted on the Smash Bros. Dojo Website. I lost count of how many times I watched the video.
Sonic's back with his patented spin dash and hopefully some speed that will give Fox McCloud a run for his money. He's also able to use his classic springboard (which includes the epic *SPROING* noise) and a dastardly downwards dash kick. His Final Smash allows him to gather the power of the seven Dragon Balls Chaos Emeralds and turn into Super Sonic.
Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games is shaping up to be an excellent game. SEGA wants to demonstrate this by taking a dive into the traditional Wii marketing formula - a bunch of people in a room playing Wii. Fine with me, this trailer looks awesome, and I find myself becoming more excited about this game with every bit of media or information released. It's number three on my Christmas shopping list; are you going to pick it up?
Mario and Sonic at the Olympic games comes sprinting to American stores on November 20 and triple-jumps into Europe on Christmas.
Sega has released a new trailer for Mario & Sonic: At The Olympic Games, and it looks so awesome. It may be CGI and not actually what the game will look like, but it is still amazing. It shows the characters doing all sorts of events, from the previously shown track and field, to swimming and table tennis. They also confirm more Sonic characters - Shadow, Amy, some white hedgehog, and a pink hedgehog.
French website Wiiz.fr has just posted 10 new screenshots from Sonic Riders Zero Gravity. They really don't look any better than the last screenshots, so I still don't think very much of this game. I really want to know what the heck is up with their hands.
Gametrailers has just released some new gameplay videos of Mario & Sonic At The Olympic Games, 2 to be exact, that show off hurdles and the 100 meter dash. Hurdles seems hard because if you knock just one down, you slow down, and can't build up enough momentum to jump anymore. 100 meter dash just seems like a button-masher's paradise.
So they've released a trailer of this game. After the horror that was the screenshots they recently released, I almost didn't watch this. The characters have been cleaned up compared to the screens (no more freakishly over sized hands), but thats about it. The over-use of video transitions is ridiculous and makes it hard to actually pay attention for more than 4 seconds. They are hiding something, and my guess is that it's the level designs. I have never seen such bad levels.
Sega has released a bunch of new screenshots from Mario & Sonic At The Olympic Games, and they are amazing. They basically speak for themselves, so there isn't much for me to say!
The upcoming sequel of the Gamecube game Sonic Riders has been a rumor for months, and Gamefront now has proof of it's existance. They have 4 screenshots of the game, and to be frank, it is really bad. You would think that the new bikes and boards would redeem it, but this is the last game I ever want to play on the Wii.
Update: IGN has released 5 new screenshots. Check them out after the break.
