One of the members of the Spin Dash forums has posted an offscreen image from the forthcoming Sonic Boom on the Wii U. While it’s currently a work in progress, it shows off the game’s current HUD and gives an idea of camera angles. The image also gives us a look at a Wii U development kit.

Don’t make comments on the girl
That was my first thought as well. Anyways, game looks interesting enough though I’m not holding my breath for anything extraordinary from a sonic game.
Hated Lost World, so I’m not too super excited myself.
Why? LW is great.
It was a bad game, it felt broken, had completely uneven difficulty, and had ridiculously easy bosses. The only good thing about it was the music.
I just could not get in to it, so I put it away after World 2.Played it again for the Zelda and Yoshi DLC, but put it away right after. The game just felt… unfinished. Worst $100 I’ve spent, along with Sticker Stars!
What is she doing, encoding sandwiches?
Hehehe… ‘mericans are fat….
Not all. I’m not fat.
No, not all. But too many.
USA and Mexico, fattest countries ever and next to eachother…
Next stop Canada…
I remember growing up there was 2-3 fat kids to make fun of. Those days are over, the fat kids are growing in numbers so you cannot single them out.
Refined sugar… Enough said
I know, my stupid country likes to copy most things about the US so I expect these idiots to become fatter here aswell…
I’m very, very, very disappointed with you guys. Overweight people, like all people in the world, no matter if ugly, homosexual, Christian, Buddhist, Muslim, Jew, whatever, should not be judged by their look or creed, but by their ethos, competence and uniqueness. It’s time to grow up and build better discussion here.
Only likely to happen when sasori stops pulling shit out of his ass.
Sasori is really the catalyst of 99% of the pointless discussion here.
Then just ignore him. :/ simple as that.
Its so hard too…he exposes himself too much that you can’t resist. I really do try not too.
I agree with that completely, however being obese is actually dangerous to your health. It’s not a matter of making fun ( it was as a child, but I’m an adult now), it’s more I’d like to see every person get the most out of life which includes health
I concur: being obese is definitely risky. I was claiming that it is sad, really sad, supposedly civilized people here making jokes on overweight ones. I know you got my idea, though.
Yup. High Fructose Corn Syrup. Eskimos eat fatty mean everyday but have some of the lowest rates of heart disease.
Maybe it’ll keep moving south?
No…
They have healthy food down there without refined sugar and other nonsense…
you are on the inside
Not all Americans are fat. Atleast we have the best game developers in the world, next to japan. It’s funny how your best selling games are from American developers.
You already made one, exposed…
she based the knuckles design off herself xd
Someone remove this human creature out of my way…
The calender says january, do you think this was taken months ago or is she too fat to change the month?
it’s likely January … and this game will be def. shown at E3 considering it’s progress in January
You could go without the offense. Think better before doing another comment on people’s aspect.
maybe her fingers were covered in cheetos at the time so she didnt want to mess it up
I’ll let you know that this is the very last time I waste my time with you.
Thank fuck. i was running out of fat jokes
I like how your profile says: “I like to ask intelligent questions and have intelligent conversations with intelligent people.” yet your posts seem to be the complete opposite.
I R O N Y
Sure, because she defined herself Knuckle’s character design. I’m feeling ashamed for you.
with that lady this games gonna take years to come out
༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ eat some cake ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ
You definitely would not like people doing that on you, retarded.
Don’t make comments about her? I wanted to ask about her left arm though, it seemed to have a cool pattern on it. Is it a tattoo?
I can comment on this bloated fat-ass as much as I want.
Why did I reply to the first comment and it showed up way the hell down here.
She’s really fat, and pretty ugly.
carborad boxed wii u dev kit lol.
^dumbass who doesn’t realise all dev kits are like that
༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ you’re so gay ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ
Xbone devkit looks funnier, it’s made of paper. No wonder your console is still an underpowered wreck. Lol
Lookin’ good. this is probably the first sonic game I’ve actually been interested in. Seeing as Big Red Button is comprised of ex-naughty dogs who worked on Jak and daxter this might actually turn out pretty good.
the lady must “the game going suck lol”. the xbox one dev kits are way better than wii u or cafe dev kit.
I didn’t know you had a Xbox One dev kit
Dude don’t be retarded. Who the hell cares about how the Dev kit looks? We don’t have to play on it, the devs just develop the game on it. Get a life bro…
I never knew so much shit could come out of someone’s mouth. Fucking Narutard.
And what about your sucky 934765871654782164786324 comments as of now? No word on that?
Holy shit that’s a lot of comments…
As much as idiocy he has in his mind.
The game actually looks cool. But I won’t get it till the reviews come. I still remember the diasppointment that was Lost World Sega -,-“
Eww.. That ring counter thing is way too big imo since there’s space to the left of the ring.. Also, why green? I’d have just kept it blue to match Sonic.. Just my 2 cents.
Green so it doesn’t match ANY of the characters. Sonic is blue, Knuckles is Red, Amy is Pink and Tails is Yellow.
Makes perfect sense to use Green.
Tails is orange….
Did anyone notice that the game is running at 15FPS?
http://puu.sh/8g7vK.png
Lol. That’s pretty shitty.
rather common for a early prototype
I was browsing the comments to see if I was the only one who noticed that. Besides the fact that the game is in a early development stage, the picture could have been taken when the game had a timely framerate drop.
It also says DX11 Profile 32bit (i doubt wiiu is actually using DX11),
-Polys: 1,378,926
-Shadows, 622,723
-the gamepad has a different camera angle
-there is a calendar picture of a snake swallowing something
-she has tiger strips tattoo
-there is a white Human Organ box next to her feet
-there is a #1 next to Sonic’s head in the HUD, may hint at player number for co-op or multiplayer
-they are using gray and white tiled textures as stand-in, it’s clear they have more work to do
also, there is a pro controller next to the dev kit.
this + the number next to sonic, probably means more than one player.
It’s a Wii Classic Controller Pro. Take a look at the picture again.
oh, thanks
You’re welcome!
I hope it will be great enough for me so that Ican ignore the Sonic design…
You need to ignore your face bro. Its one ugly mothafucker.
-Unable to identify primitive languge…-
-Further investigation required…-
*language…
Stupid keyboard…
I see nothing wrong the design, in parallel to the general Modern/Classic design. Blue arms make all of the sense in the world, and the scarf is plenty fitting for his character.
Blarg
After the MISTAKE that was Sonic Lost World I don’t have much hope for the game. And will not be buying this before reviews like I did Lost World.
At least it’s not developed by Sonic Team.
Exactly this^ Sonic Team sucks ASS.
the new one, yes…the old one…no.
Well they do now pre 2005 they didn’t
So… Why are the dev kits so big?
Wait, that’s a wii u dev kit? Holy shit that is big, I knew about dev kits like this but this is my first time seeing one. I thought it was a modded console itself…never expected it that big though.
Oh Sonic… you poor baby. I know no one wants to talk about it, but I think we need to put him to sleep. It’s for his own good.
At the very least give him a god damn break for once, for just a few years, I mean with lost world late 2013, this game late 2014, the talks of a new game made by sonic team and the countless spin-offs he deserves it
Cool!
Oh and that woman is beautiful. I was surprised no one else thought the same.
Lol, they’re using Internet Explorer.
Disgusting…
What is disgusting? Your insensibility?
Haha what noobs.
Are you kidding me? That’s Google Chrome!
Look at the task bar. They have an IE window opened.
Oh, it’s opened, in fact. But IE could be opened for a number of reasons, like clicking on a link which opens the default OS browser. And the presence of Chrome (which is not Windows 7 native software) also strongly suggests that IE is not their preferred internet browser.
Im hoping for online co-op support.
Nope, sorry only local for some reason
This game is looking really good, but I won’t get my hopes up till I play it myself, I mean I did for lost world and we all know how that turned out. Anyway with E3 coming up and the promise of more footage I can’t wait
What are you morons! If this was done for the PS4, Sonick would be the best design so far, and since this is the Wii U Exkluzive it’s ugly design! Do you say, Sonick looks great, plays also, will work on 60.fps in 1080p. Sony and Xbox drones will eat out of envy!
Just will not admit it, and will write di arrive drafted, the game is crap!
there’s an xbox controller on her desk ;) … also it’s January … she’s got chips and a cookie … there’s a webcam pointing at the TV … maybe she’s recording it that way? … they’re using soft-lighting instead of sun-lighting for their studio (blah) … want me to point out anything else? … he he
I can’t be the only one who noticed the image above the calendar which looks like it’s jumping out. >.>
Dat 3D effect!
that calender is pretty awesome though :o
maybe next months image is a penis for her to suck on
The fun she looks like she’s having…
fat people only get pleasure out of eating
What happened to her left arm? Is she turning into a tiger?
LOL
Wow, it looks like a mix of Ratchet & Clank and Jak & Daxter
And considering those are my two favorite platformer series, I’m excited.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! (Her shirt btw)
God, as expected, video game pregramers are so obese and wear shirts of our heroes in a half shell and have glasses. ¡Oye pinchi gordo!
A Wii U dev kit… interesting…
Hi this game is good.
I’m impressed by the game. These people who think Sonic has never been good need to go back and play Generations and Colors. Sonic games have as much potential as anyone, and can be good. Also, this picture has been up for quite some time now.
