Sonic Boom Coming To Wii U And Nintendo 3DS (Trailer)

Sega has released a trailer for its forthcoming Sonic game called Sonic Boom which according to the trailer is exclusive to Nintendo 3DS and Wii U. The game is in development by Big Red Button and Sega and should be released this year. Big Red Button contains a couple of developers from acclaimed development team, Naughty Dog.

Serving as a prequel to the stories revealed in the TV series the Sonic Boom video game will deliver a totally different experience to previous Sonic games with collaborative gameplay at its core. Developed in the U.S by California based Big Red Button Entertainment (Wii U) and Sanzaru Games (Nintendo 3DS) in collaboration with Sonic Team, this is the third title to be released as part of an exclusive deal with Nintendo. Sonic Boom will take advantage of the innovative hardware of both the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS, with traditional elements of Sonic games, such as speed, also featured. The videogame will also introduce exploration, combat and a new Enerbeam tether mechanic that will allow the Sonic Boom world to be discovered in totally unique ways.

      1. He got a horrible redesign. Hey let’s make him giant and unfitting around all the other characters! Then what we’ll do is make him super top heavy and give him these long scrawny legs…

        1. Knuckles is kinda of a powerhouse character in Sonic if anything they finally portray him well in this one thats just me though..

          1. Knuckles… y’know, the one with the power to glide, should be designed to be half tank on the top and half frog legs on the bottom? Oh yes I can just imagine it now.

            1. They should have made him more block shape, and similar in size to sonic, they should have made it look like he had dread locks, and skin flaps like a flying squirrel. It would have looked a lot better, and he wouldn’t be so oddly out of place from the other characters

      2. Hahahajahahajajahah what did I tell you? This already looks like a fucking obscure mess! I’m willing to bet 2 months worth of income now! This game is just another ratchet and clank rip off! Haha

        1. What did you tell us? A Mess? they havent reveal 95% of the game and youre already calling it a mess We had Generations and Colours which by the way were good games so either troll better or GTFO..

          1. Yup. I mightn’t like Knuckles design at all but saying that the game will be bad when we haven’t actually had the chance to play it yet is pointless.

            1. Wow what a sonic faggot. They release a trailer t try ro reel people in and all they presented was a shitty techno (whatever faggots listen to) and unimpressive gameplay mechanics.

              1. First off, what’s with all the gay bashing. Second, that isn’t techno. Just cause music is electronic, doesn’t mean it’s techno. At all. There are tons of genres in electronic music. Techno is one of the most basic. The music in this is considered dub step, but not true dub step, just the cheap wobb effect abusing garbage that skrillex the shit head started that ruined the genre for people who actually know how to make music. He himself even said he doesn’t know how to make music, and just fucks around on his computer. And electronic music by the way is by far the best music to fuck a lady to. GOOD electronic music, which you don’t hear on the radio cause the radio only plays the trashiest cheapest shit of all genres, electronic or not. What music do you listen to pray tell? Lil wayne? Bruno Mars? Adam Levine? What music do non faggots listen to? Enlighten me please.

              2. huh i thought we learned our lesson to not judge games without seeing its full potential *cough super mario 3d world cough*

    1. I lime the steam punk/ adventure look (also keep in mind this well be a side series) but knuckles looks stupid, he should of had dreadlocks, skin flaps like a fly ring squirrel and should of had better proportions.
      tails should of has a mohalk, and amie should of has like purple highlights or something. Their not…idk punk enough to pull off this new look, I hope the game play helps balance this out

  1. Sooo, The character models look like utter shit. BUT, the stages look really pretty damn good imo. In terms of gameplay, I dont know, could be a horrible brawler with terrible platforming segments, but I hope not.

  2. I’m not a fan of the new designs except for Tails but the game doesn’t look bad, kind of reminds me of the Sonic stages from Adventure 1 and 2.

        1. Okay I just refreshed, and everything appears huge. Is that normal ? If I may suggest something, I think it would be better if smaller.

      1. Those are “anonymous” sources tipping them off, also check the developers, no sonic team. now why would that be

  3. I really don’t like the new design for their faces but hey! If the game is good and has awesome gameplay I have no problem!

  4. The stages looks SUPER AMAZING but… I can really stands those design u.u i know they are made to fit nowadays kids taste (ben 10, iron kid and stuff like that) but i just… Cant U.U
    If the game is good ill enjoy it anyway but *Sniff* Y.Y knukles…

    1. Look at the maneuvers Knuckles has to do. Wouldn’t you have huge upper body muscles after climbing like that??!

  5. This one Looks awesome. All the recent sonic games are crap. Why isn’t there a sonic adventure 3?!?!?!?! Sonic adventure battle 2 is in my top 5 favorite games. There has to be a three!?!?!?!,??! Bring back chaos!!!!!!!

  6. The begining kinda scared me, but the gameplay footage actually looks good. The part with Sonic running on water… Hell. Yeah.

    1. Even though it is entirely different from that game and is made by a team who actually know what they’re doing

      1. You’re right! But I still wasted $100 on that game (Norwegian game prices), and will not make that mistake again. They have to really impress me to make me buy this…

  7. The stupid dubstep makes the new designs look lovely…
    Don’t have dubstep!

    Worst “music” ever created!

  8. OHHH fuccck noo. Now we all have to listen to you wii u fags talk about your shitty below average game and when it comes it it will fail like always and wii u will have even more of a dust mountain. every time i wake up i have dust in my mouth!!! stupid fucking wii u!!!! ALSO now we have to listen to the worst fanbase ever (fur fags) complain about everything like the game design, PETITIONS PETITIONS PETITIONS MY GOD STFU AND GO BACK INTO YOUR CRIB you social rejects!!!!!!

    threw the trailer i just had to laugh of just thinking of how the nintenpussies reaction and freaking out about a game that my dog can make out of her asshole. this game is a joke!!!!! seriously you can just tell by that trailer and the only slight glimmering hope for the nintenpuppets plastic is shattered. it just looks like shit, its going to be like shit like every modern sonic game. another check for fail on wii u. maybe next time fund something that people fucking care about that isnt lame and shit.

      1. REALITY CHECK. THIS IS A FUCKING SONIC GAME!!! its going to suck and dont act like the sonic fanbase isnt in the slightest retarded. you know they will make a big deal about anything about sonic because new games just arnt enough (which will suck anyway)you know an EXCLUSIVE resident evil game bringing its horror roots back should of been what they funded, not 3 shitty sonic games. thats not going to sell systems its a shitty shovelware sonic game but a exclusive really good true resident evil game would!!

        1. yes because colors and generations sucked and what has resident evil got to do with this, thats an entirely different franchise and company

          1. its because resident evil would sell CONSOLES!! people would buy wii u if it had a exclusive resident evil that was really good and brought its survival roots back. yeah but we got some awesome shovelware sonic games…….. there is way to many reasons why you could say that the sonic thing was a worse idea. for one the games suck and now we have to deal with its retarded fanbase again. sonic boom failed. thats going to be its official name.

        2. get me already
          Nothing that you will see is gonna change the mind of none of that fanbase you talk about
          Sonic fanbase is kinda weird, but is nothing to be worried about
          It is kinda lame for someone to rant over a game that way

        3. REALITY CHECK! This Sonic game is being made by former developers of Naughty Dog.

          In conclusion, Sonic Boom will kick ass. Case closed.

    1. even though you’re the one that’s complaining? kind of ironic. you’ve whined more in those 2 paragraphs than everyone combined in the comments lol. fucking faggot go kill yourself.

      1. im not complaining, i dont even want the game, im not whining. im just saying the truth. 1 this game is going to be shit like always 2 all the nintenfags everywhere will be worshiping this game because its all wii u is getting for one, its exactly what happened with sonic flopped world. 3 the fur fags will complain complain complain, start retarded petitions and cry when the reviews come in. they all happen every time deal with it.

        facts, so run and play your shitty sonic game and cry about not getting things like pokemon bank instead of things that matter……. i wonder why nintendo is so shit because it has retarded fans now complaining about stuff like swap note.

          1. yeah and he told me that the people on mynintendonews have no lifes. seriously man, some of these comments hurt out out being to pathtetic. its a videogame company not your life. i cant recap all the pathetic nintendo is my life comments but there is way more important things than nintendo sony or shitbox. im not talking about people with interests and liking nintendo games or any other games, thats normal. im just talking about like thinking that these systems are the most important thing in the world, the people like nintendo commander and the rest like n dub nation and the many more. grow up its like you havnt seen the real world and you guys can fucking criticize a company for the better, you nintendo fanboys should be doing that if anything.

            another thing i found out is that people on the internet are just pathetic or should i say most. if you say anything like what i say on here to people in the real world its always ends up in a normal discussion, “like yeah i wish nintendo wasnt like this or sony really needs to do that” not all this pathetic corporate social reject damage control emotionally attached shit, it only exists on the internet.

            1. Ice,There’s a simple solution. Just find another site that you can cry and ‘act’ like an ass on. Ya dumb Sumbitch.

        1. You aren’t a developer and you haven’t played. You won’t know if it sucks or not so chill out on your haterness dood and wait like the rest of us

    2. What’s hilarious is that your life will amount to nothing and the people making these game will be more successful than you will ever be. Just pointing out simple facts.

        1. I’ll be a game designer when I graduate college, not sure what plans you have. You used to have good comments about Nintendo looks like you wanna fit in with those fail trolls.

          1. what are you talking about man. im not even trolling. whenever i feel like saying something that might be cool with you than fine feel that way.

      1. yeah also your not successful UNLESS you make a good game. these devs are shit and arnt successful. nice defensive being a fanboy statement anyway…..

    3. So basically you just come to a Nintendo website to talk shit about others?
      Let them cry about it and you be on with your life instead of wasting it here…
      If you don’t like the Wii U that is all fine by me, I respect your decisions and your opinions. But if you hate it that much then why even be here, where it’s called MYNINTENDONEWS… being be bad news, really bad news, and throw me away in a cell and lose the key news… it’s still a nintendo site.
      Even if it “doesn’t have games” as many imply every single dam day, I still love my Wii U… I own a 3DS and a PS3 (which btw I rarely use, but that is just me). And I know good games are coming for it, so if this game flops like the many other games that do, then so be it.
      But let me tell you something that I tell everybody else that talks shit about why I bought a Wii U instead of the awesome PS4… It’s because I find it very uninteresting, to a certain degree that every game I see coming on a PS system or Xbox system has to be a dam shooter… I am sick and tired of them. Now don’t get me wrong, I will buy one in time but as for now there are no games on it that interest me at all. I can get them on the ps3… And yes i know there are other games for it like God of War, Uncharted, Killzone, and many others… which btw its the only games I like for it. Don’t like COD or Battlefield at all… too many hackers of glitches and no… I don’t suck at them, I am quite very “skillful” at it if i may say so myself.
      Anyways that is just me, take it or leave it just saying something that probably you won’t care about.

  9. The designs are a little weird, but the gameplay looks interesting. I’m kind of glad that they’re bringing back the multiple characters thing. It kind of reminds me of what I liked about the Sonic Adventure games.

    Lost World was pretty fun, so I look forward to seeing what this goes.

  10. And so begins yet another Sonic Cycle:
    1. first glimpse: intriguing new design (even if this one is divisive); peaks interest
    2. first game play footage: this looks great! it seems to have solved all of the series past problems!
    3. first impressions from reviewers: it is okay, nothing to write home about yet, but remain hopeful
    4. reviews released: lukewarm at best
    5. Game is released: dead on arrival
    6. Repeat

    but for now, my interest is peaked by this clip. i am curious about their game/show/merchandising integration approach.

    1. Played both generations games on 3DS and xbox, really liked them and wouldn’t call them dead on arrival..actually most of the handheld sonic games were awesome. *remembering the good times with sonic on GBA*

  11. the redesigns don’t bother me at all. hell, they are finally letting us play as other sonic characters for the first time in YEARS. plus it seems to have a sonic heroes vibe, so it’s all cool.

  12. Aside from questionable character design, particularly Sonic and Knuckles. The game looks pretty great! I can’t wait to see more!

  13. I just threw up in my mouth. Never buying another Sonic game again until this is changed.

    You fucked up SEGA, but this time you’ve REALLY fucked up.

      1. Sonic adventure 1 and 2 are probably the best in my opinion, it really helped sonic grow. A chance to try some of the characters from the sonic world, chaos garden and of course the Speed! Sonic is about speed and if you didn’t like sonic before you probably will never like him so give up on giving bad comments on a game you will never like. The sonic the hedgehog for xbox 360 and ps3 sucked actually and the ones on the regular Wii sucked.

  15. Designs look great, faces are a bit weird on Sonic and Knuckles, though that could be the shot they’re in, but Amy and Tails look really good.

    Gameplay wise, looks alot like Sonic Adventure crossed with Jak and Daxter, which is a good combination

  16. Knucles took steroids for horses.

    Waiting for the game,one more of the “3DS/Wiiu” standards , was this the union that Iwata spoke, I predict more releases like this.

  18. I was lukewarm about it until the moment i heard Skrillex’s Bangarang. Then, my expectations plummeted like overweight Eggman pushed off a skyscraper.
    Don’t get me wrong. It’s a good thing that Sonic got a bit of a reinvention going on now, but just because Borderlands 2 used dubstep in their trailers doesn’t mean you can use it in your games’ trailers too without making it look like absolute pandering.
    (Disclaimer: I am not a Sonic fan.)

    1. and the trailer BGM has what exactly to do with the game itself?

      these trailers are usually created by external teams who have absolutely zero to do with the games development
      they’re just delivered some material from the developers
      then they do their thing and present it to the publishers marketing department for evaluation

      the developers often don’t have much (or any) say in what’s being shown in the trailer and how

    1. I think Knuckles design is great. I don’t know why “weird” has a negative connotation attached to it. So what if Knuckles looks “weird?” He is the brute of the team and needs to show that in having a larger upper body.

      Makes sense to me and that’s all I need to be happy.

  19. Looks like shit, I can’t believe I used to be a fan of this franchise and supported it. Just shit after even more shit. I am glad this isn’t a reboot though http://www.sonicstadium.org/2014/02/sonic-boom-will-not-be-replacing-the-old-universe/ Maybe the sonic game that Sonic Team makes will look like an actual fucking sonic game, hopefully they came to their senses after lost World and the next game is like Unleashed/Colors/Generations. Fuck american devs and their shitty dubstep trailers…

    1. oh geez

      the sonic universe with its in depth lore and stunning and elaborate plot… who gives two shits about the consistency of the “sonic universe”

      it changes by the year anyway

      and the trailers are not made by the devs -.-

      1. Maybe, if you actually played a fucking sonic game besides Lost World, you’d know that it does not change by the year. But whatever, let 10 year olds be 10 year olds I guess.

        1. i’ve been playing sonic games ever since “sonic the hedgehog”

          you fucking mook
          you’re listing one of the worst sonic games ever released as one of the best and claim you know jack shit about the franchise
          can’t believe this ignorance

    2. I don’t know why you are pissed.

      This could be the first good Sonic game we’ve gotten in a while. He needs a redesign and a restructure to his games. It just wasn’t working for him.

      I would be excited if I were you as Sonic Boom is FANTASTIC news.

      1. Um, excuse me? Unleashed (aside from those fucking night time sections), Colors, and Generations were pretty good until Lost World came along. You fucking Nintendrones don’t know anything about the series. Here’s an example, before Lost World was released and was being hyped up, you guys were claiming that Sonic was “finally going back to it’s roots” with Lost World, which made absolutely no sense. Of course though, you guys were doing just what you do best: Only using the mindset that the marketing gives you for games, and not being able to formulate an opinion on your own.

        As much as I love Nintendo, it has one of the worst fucking fanbases ever.

          1. It’s widely agreed that Sonic Unleashed is pretty good except for the night time parts, but eh, a nintendrone wouldn’t care about that, would they?

    3. Yeah, the Sonic universe that’s tanking the company because non of those games have been a success, so maybe these new designs will bring new ideas and revive the fucking games and be a great thing, so stop complaining and let the owners of the franchise experiment and do whatever the FUCK they want with THEIR franchise!

      1. Just recently the games started getting good again, but since Lost World was the only Sonic game for Wii U that has been released, you guys wouldn’t know that would you? Maybe if you had some actual eyes, you’d know that this is far from a great thing. Listen, I know that the Wii U hasn’t been getting a lot of good games and has been doing pretty bad so far, but putting your faith into a fucking Sonic game is pathetic. How about supporting franchises made by better companies who don’t try so hard to pander to everyone? Like Resident Evil, such as Iceazeama or whatever the fuck his name is suggested.

  20. How many times Nintendo – Mario changed its desing? Mario RPG, Paper Mario, Mario 64, Baby Mario, etc…. C’mon give Sega & Sonic a chance!… however… those legs .. omg those poor sonic legs and homeless shoes!!

  21. I lost interest in sonic games for two years now. If this game doesn’t change my mind, I don’t know what will. Right know I’ll enjoy a different game.

      1. It’s grown on me a little now I’ve had chance to get used to it. But lets be honest, the look of sonic is never the issue, rather it’s the thing they keep playing around with when they should be focused on refining the gameplay. Sonic is fine. I haven’t followed since 1991 thinking, oh its about time he got a new look!

    1. They gave him a new look to go along with his amazing looking game. Stop being a whiner baby who doesn’t like change and GET EXCITED!

      I really like the designs actually.

      Sonic Boom has incredible potential. I can see Sonic coming back from this game.

      1. I’ve been with sonic since his debut on the Mega Drive. If I want to be a Nintendrone about it, that’s my prerogative. And you comment has been the famous last words of a lot of people. Go look at metacritic, your optimism is blinkered.

    1. I like Skrillex and that’s it. Dubstep isn’t necessarily “bad” to me. It’s music afterall and it can be really catchy. I prefer music with “voices” and “lyrics” in them however and is why I don’t really listen to dubstep.

      Skrillex is just so amazing that I’ll listen to them with lyrics or not lol!

  22. People need to chill out some. Why didn’t people freak out when Knuckles had the hat in the Sonic movie? I get it, the sport bandages, buff Knuckles and even lankier Sonic are a big change, but it’s just for this game and tv show, it’s not the new look period. Sonic and crew will be looking just like Colors/Generations/Lost World iterations in no time.. though I would like to see Robotnik/Eggman keep his new look, it’s fantastic.

    1. Cause people are shitheads. Their brains are so dumb that they don’t understand change. It’s like anything that’s different makes them go insane.

      So the rest of us look at change and think “I don’t see the big deal.”

      When your brain is made of crap, it’s hard to grasp simple ideas and to accept simple things like “change.”

  23. Lets not forget that the trailer uses in game assets, no CG, and it looks absolutely gorgeous… using the Cry Engine 3 (arguably the best looking engine out there, better than Frostbite and Unreal) for the Wii U. If this thing shows up in 1080p and 60fps, it’s going to be a gorgeous beast to be sure. The gameplay looks great as well, each character sharing similar gameplay elements, yet each also having distinct abilities and movesets. Cannot wait to learn more.

  24. LOL Do people really come on here complaining about Nintendo fans and games? THis Nintendo News, so obviously you came over here to talk smack. So just ignore the jerk everyone. Besides an exclusive resident evil wouldn’t make sense!

  25. Ok, I can deal with Tails and Amy. They aren’t too bad, but when it comes to Sonic and Knuckles, I am EXTREMELY disappointed! It’s like they were stuck in front of a funhouse mirror! Sonic is WAY too tall, and what in the world is up with Knuckles?! What happened to that awesome little red dude that would beat guys up with his fists?! Now he’s some big ugly monster! I’m really going to miss Knuckles! :,( I wish they could have just gone with how the characters look in Mario and Sonic at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympic Games! They perfected their looks on that game!

  26. Give this game 4p coop off and online and this could be really fun to play. I would love to play this with my friends/kids.

  27. They have been releasing Sonic with the same thing over and over and tried so many things and non of you would buy anything. Now they want a fresh start, with new designs to make them look more modern and new, which is cool, let them give them a new look, maybe this way they’ll get fresh ideas and make better games, stop complaining about the look! You’ve had the classic look for fucking 30 years, then go play old Sonic games, but it’s time for something new to see if this time people buy their games, so buy it or not, but stop complaining like little whiny idiots ’cause it seems that’s all you can do, so just learn to STFU!

    Also, I’m glad it’s exclusive to Wii U, if this game is great, it’ll be a great thing to revive the Wii U, I just hope it gets better scores than Sonic: Lost World!

  28. Tails look fine, but his pose……
    Amy…. well she needs the boots.
    Sonic, okay i guess?
    Knuckles, WHY? JUST WHY? KNUCKLES! MAN! STOP SMOKING EMERALDS AND COME OUT OF THE FANTASY! Knuckles, the second character to be in a game title. Amen,hope you will live without my support.

  29. I’m still not sure about Knuckles’ design, but maybe my brain is just resisting change. Still, he seems a bit too much the odd one out. To me, anyways.

    On the other hand, the game looks like it could be really good/fun. I’m looking forward to it.
