Sega have just announced a new Sonic platformer exclusively for the Nintendo Wii and the Nintendo DS titled Sonic Colors.
LONDON & SAN FRANCISCO (May 26th, 2010) SEGA ® Europe Ltd. & SEGA ® America, Inc. today announced Sonic ™ Colours, the new high-speed adventure of our famous hero Sonic the Hedgehog. Struggling with saving a colorful alien race fall into the clutches of Dr. Eggman, Sonic will face many obstacles along an inspired sci-fi themed amusement park. Sonic Colours will be available on Wii ™ and Nintendo DS ™ at the end of 2010.
A unique playground has been seen orbiting the planet of Sonic the Hedgehog. Some rumors speak of an alien race called wisps, with a rare colored energy, which is now imprisoned here, by the evil Dr. Eggman. Sonic, once arrived on the planet’s entertainment, you can use immediately made aware of this rare power to help colored wisps in the escape! The Wii version of Sonic Colours combines both 2D and 3D gaming perspective, while the Nintendo DS version takes advantage of the characteristics of the double-screen console.
“The lively alien universe of Sonic Colours allows players to race at breakneck speed along amazing planets, each with its peculiarities and unique visual style.” Comment on Gary Knight, Senior Vice President of Marketing SEGA. “In addition to classic Sonic gameplay, new power-wisps, they offer an innovative way to explore these new worlds and help Sonic to run faster than ever!”
The new Sonic hedgehog Colours see our dear speeding, jumping off himself among enemies like never before in a Sonic game. The aliens WISPs are able to free their “Colour Power” that can be absorbed by Sonic drilling to create new roads, for example, the ground (via the Yellow Drill), or go through the whole internship at supersonic speed (thanks to Cyan Laser). Combining the different available energies can further increase the speed of Sonic and his abilities beyond imagination. Lots of power ups and exclusive versions will be available for Wii and Nintendo DS for a brand new super-fast gameplay of Sonic for fans around the world.
Sonic Colours will be available on Wii ™ and Nintendo DS ™ at the end of 2010.

I am all up for a new Sonic 3D game as long as the gameplay doesn’t fail. I am not one of those purist who only want 2d Genesis-like Sonic games. I like 2d and 3d Sonic games. I really don’t see why people are already complaining about this game. Why don’t they just give it a chance before complaining? We already have Sonic 4 coming, so why complain? At least Sega/Sonic Team is listening to us and that’s why they made Sonic 4. -_-
This is a horrible translation. The game sounds weird at best, but it’s hard to tell.
Sounds like they’re really putting emphasis on “speed”. Are they trying to prove something to Nintendo or something?
Sounds cool and interesting. Hopefully Sega won’t mess up again like w/Sonic Unleashed, and it seems Tails will be taging along too which reminds of the Genesis days.
YEAH WOOT!!!! FINALLY AWESOME YES YES YES YES YES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOLY CRAP I CANT WAIT 4 THIS SO AWESOME WOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sorry :-)
I might buy this, but probably not. I lost all fate in sonic once I bought Sonic and the Secret Rings.
Say Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?
nah dudes just watch i bet ign will give it a 9 or something
r u kidding? a series so worthless in modern times like sonic probably already has a “5” lined up for it before IGN even plays it
Probably just more commercial crap SEGA’s making, I just don’t see the point of buying any Sonic games anymore.
well yeah but i bet sega learned their lesson with sonic unleashed and i bet they’ll make it better than any sonic game made before except for the amazing sonic and the black knight probobly a 8 or a 9 at best but i couldnt possibly be sure because its just a teaser video that doesnt mean anything like in sonic and sega all stars racing but who knows since they are adding tails to it so he can tag along and have newer creatures not seen before hey theres 7 of them maybe a new super form for sonic
