SEGA announces Sonic Colors for Wii, DS coming this Holiday

May 26, 2010 in News comments 11

With Sonic 4 seemingly not enough, SEGA has unleashed yet another Sonic game on the masses, Sonic Colors for the Wii and DS. A release is targeted for this holiday in North America.

Dr. Eggman has abducted an alien race called Wisps, and is using their colorful energy for his evil plans. Sonic, of course, is here to save the day, and he can utilize the Wisps' energy on Eggman's space amusement park. These "Color Powers" can be used to create new paths in different stages.



The Wii version of Sonic Colors will make use of 2D and 3D perspectives, while the DS version will utilize the handheld's two screens. Both versions will see exclusive power-ups.

We’re excited to announce a brand-new game for Sonic the Hedgehog! Sonic Colors is a high speed action-adventure in which Sonic races through theme park-inspired worlds to rescue a colorful alien race from the clutches of Dr. Eggman. An extraordinary amusement park has been seen orbiting around the home planet of Sonic the Hedgehog, and rumors are spreading that an alien race of Wisps, who have a unique colorful energy, are being held captive there by the evil Dr. Eggman. Soon after arriving at the amusement park, Sonic discovers he is able to use these mysterious alien forces to help the Wisps escape!

Sonic Colors will be available on the Wii and the Nintendo DS around holiday 2010. Sonic Colors for the Wii seamlessly combines both 3D and classic 2D game play perspectives, while the Nintendo DS version takes full advantage of the console’s dual screen.

    Yeah, guys, let's rag on the game even though the only thing we've seen is a 24 second trailer. And none of it is even gameplay. GG, guys.

      Name one 3D sonic game which involved new people, after Sonic Adventure (possibly Adventure 2, depending on your thoughts of that) that was actually good and I'll take back every word I said. But you can't. 'cause there isn't. And Sega are *bleep*ing morons, so there won't be.

        You can't even really consider those alien things as new characters, they're sorta like Chaos Emeralds. It's not like you'll be playing as the aliens =/ Also I fail to comprehend how Sonic+New Non-Playable Characters=Fail. It's not the new characters that made the past 3D Sonics fail, it was the suckish gameplay.

        Sonic Unleashed was taking a step in the right direction, but as you know, the nighttime levels completely ruined it.

        Yes, it's a 3D(and 2D) Sonic game, yes they have been known to fail, but don't attack it before you even get to see any gameplay.

          When did I, personally, mention anything about the new characters?

          Stop putting words in my mouth. And they said about Unleashed that they couldn't afford to put in the time it would take to make a proper 2D gameplay Sonic game, so that step in the right direction is just that; one step and no more.

    You make a comment which to me basically reads "this game is going to be bad", I reply saying "don't judge it before gameplay videos are released", and in response, to back up your previous claim about this game being crap, you ask me "when has there ever been a good Sonic game that had new characters."

    Seeing as how the only new characters so far are the aliens, one would assume you were talking about the aliens.

    Your post basically says "Since this game is not SA/SAB2, and since this game will have new characters, it will suck."

      The new characters comment was there as a game count reference, I never said this one would have them, nor that they would make it suck. It will suck for different reasons. You misunderstood.
